| Research Abstract |
Background: The purpose of this study is to clarify whether or not cemental fatigue destruction occurs when repeated stresses are loaded on the occlusal surface of a tooth.
Methods: The compressive load of 5.0kgf was repeatedly applied to the tooth soaked in water 1 million times. Cracks were dyed with 2% methylene blue solution and crack areas were measured using photographs gray-scaled and binary-processed on Photoshop. Data were analyzed using image analysis software Pixs2000pro..
Results: 1) The cracks significantly developed on the buccal, mesial and distal surfaces but not on the lingual surface; 2) crack areas showed a tendency to significantly increase after 500,000 loadings; 3) extension of the crack from the CEJ to the root apex increased with time, and the average extension was 0.67± 0.12 mm after 1 million loadings.
Conclusion: This study suggested that occlusion or bruxism may trigger the development of site-specific attachment loss, which is one of the potential factors inducing periodontal diseases.
