“…In laboratory, mechanical strains in bone-teeth and bone-implant complexes have been investigated using several methods including strain gauges (Akça et al, 2007; Asundi and Kishen, 2000a; Jantarat et al, 2001; Popowics et al, 2004), photoelasticity (Asundi and Kishen, 2001, 2000b), Moiré interferometry (Kishen et al, 2006; Wang and Weiner, 1998; Wood et al, 2003), electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) (Zaslansky et al, 2006, 2005), finite element method (Baggi et al, 2008; Bozkaya et al, 2004; Van Oosterwyck et al, 1998; Wazen et al, 2013) and digital image correlation (DIC) (Qian et al, 2009; Tiossi et al, 2011; Zhang et al, 2009). Digital volume correlation (DVC) has been used to map strains in trabecular bone, without teeth or an implant (Bay et al, 1999; Jiroušek et al, 2011; Verhulp et al, 2004; Zauel et al, 2006). …”
