| Abstract |
Over the past few decades, a number of papers have been published on the determination of
mechanical properties of hard dental tissues using the nanoindentation method, which provides highly
accurate assessment at the nanoscale. This method involves indentation of a specialized tool, an
indenter, into the surface of a sample, followed by measuring the hardness and elastic modulus based
on the dependence of the indentation depth on the applied load and the degree of elastic recovery after
its removal. Nanoindentation allows to identify changes in mechanical properties caused by various
factors, such as pathological processes, surface preparation methods, features of the crystal structure
and inhomogeneity of biological tissue. This review presents modern approaches to nanoindentation
and their application to characterize the mechanical properties of enamel, dentine and cementum of human teeth. |
