Abstract

Tooth fracture by impact is the most common cause of fracture in human incisors. We have designed an experimental system to measure the dynamic fracture force of teeth in vitro, and initial results obtained from a sample of healthy, recently removed human incisors are reported. The method was reproducible and reliable, and the results provide a baseline for studies evaluating the effect of endodontic procedures on the dynamic fracture force of teeth.
