The dynamic response of a maxillary molar with periodontal ligament (PDL) was investigated to explore the dynamic behavior of the tooth. Three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a maxillary molar with periodontium was constructed using CT image-reconstruction. The modal vibration of the maxillary molar in the periodontal system was performed at first, and then the dynamic response of the tooth under an impact loading was calculated and compared with the results of the different periodontal attachments in order to assess the condition of the periodontium. The first four modes were dominant in the modal vibration. The resonant frequency of the maxillary molar under the impact loading was close to the frequency of the second mode in the modal analysis. The resonant frequency decreased gradually with the loss of alveolar bone, while the resonant amplitude increased nonlinearly. The resonant frequency and amplitude of the maxillary molar can be used to describe the loss of alveolar bone and the condition of periodontium. Introduction The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a thin soft tissue made up of thousands of fibers which fasten tooth cementum to the bony socket and provide attachment of a tooth to the adjacent alveolar bone to support the tooth. Biomechanical information on the PDL condition is very important in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis management [1, 2]. Many methods are used to evaluate the PDL condition, for example radiographic examination, masticatory pressure and tooth mobility. The dynamic behavior of a tooth in the periodontal system reflects the important parameters for assessing the periodontal tissue condition: the damaged condition of periodontium and the level of periodontal attachment [3, 4]. The dynamic response of a tooth with the PDL is strongly related to the application force and the excitation direction when the vibrational properties of the tooth is used to describe the condition of the periodontium [5]. Transient dynamic analysis is a technique used to determine the dynamic response of a structure under the action of any general time-dependent loads [6, . The mechanism by which the strain energy is gradually converted to another energy form is known as damping. Some investigations focus on the calculation or measuring of the natural frequency and the damping of a tooth subjected to an external excitation [1, 3, 4] in vivo and in vitro. But the dynamic behavior of a molar excited by an impact force has not been well explored. In order to investigate the dynamic behavior of a maxillary molar and the relation between the resonant frequency of the tooth and the level of periodontal attachment, dynamic finite element analysis of the maxillary molar in the periodontal system under an impact loading was performed in this study to assess the condition of periodontium. 994 Advances in Engineering Research (AER), volume 105 3rd Annual International Conference on Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering (MME 2016) Copyright © 2017, the Authors.

Methods Finite Element Model To construct a 3D geometric model of a maxillary molar and the PDL, CT image-reconstruction technique was used in this study provided by the 3D-DOCTOR software (3D-DOCTOR Version3.5, Able Software Corp, Lexington, MA, USA) at first. The procedure to build the 3D model was referred to our previous study [8]. Then to rebuild the PDL of the maxillary molar, the meshed surface of the tooth root where the PDL attached was selected and expanded outwards to form the PDL tissue based on the thickness of the PDL. Finally, the PDL structure was meshed correspondingly with the maxillary molar. The 3D finite element model of the maxillary molar and the PDL was set up for further analysis (Figure 1). In this model, the length of the tooth was 19.3 mm, the crown was 7.1 mm and the root was 12.2 mm. The thickness of the PDL was 0.25mm[9]. In order to simulate periodontal attachment loss in vivo, the height of periodontal attachment was defined to describe the condition of alveolar bone loss and the level of periodontal attachment. A series of models was used in the analysis, with a decrement of 1.0mm each for the height of periodontal attachment from the anatomic boundary between the crown and the root of the tooth. The mechanical properties for enamel, dentin and the PDL were taken from the references [6, 10] (Table 1). Figure 1. The model of the maxillary molar and PDL Table 1.

The alveolar bone was considered immovable, the restrictions of displacement were applied on the exterior surface of the PDL in three-directions [14, 15]. To validate the model, the modal analysis of the maxillary molar in the periodontal system was performed at first using MSC software MARC-FEA. The first four mode shapes and frequencies were selected to describe vibration characteristics. Then the acceleration of the tooth under impact loading was calculated and converted into the response by the FFT analyser to describe dynamic property of the tooth. A sinusoidal force (Figure 2) with a peak of 500 N [9] represented masticatory load, a rise time of 2ms, and a total duration of 4 ms [6, 9], was chosen and imposed on the central point in buccal surface of the dental crown in the buccal-lingal direction (Figure 1).
