A Nano-indentation Identification Technique for Viscoelastic Constitutive Characteristics of Periodontal Ligaments

Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutiv...
