## Background: The aim of this study was to obtain a more precise understanding of the mechanical properties of the periodontal ligament in continuously erupting incisors by comparing the shear stress-strain relations among teeth from four closely related species. ## Methods: Four species of expe
Anin vitro system is described which uses human diploid cells derived from the periodontal ligament. It simulates the clinical situation and is suitable for rapid cytotoxicity screening of dental materials. It can also be adapted to study various factors influencing biocompatibility.
## Abstract Cells within the periodontal ligament have the potential to regenerate a periodontal connective tissue attachment on pathologically exposed root surfaces as well as on several material surfaces including titanium. However, rather than a periodontal connective tissue attachment, a fibrou
