Tooth Hardness Evaluation Using Nanoindentation
In this application, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester, in Nanoindentation mode, is used to study the hardness and elastic modulus of the dentin, decay and pulp of a tooth. The most critical aspect with Nanoidentation testing is securing the sample, here we took a sliced tooth and epoxy mounted leaving all three area of interest exposed for testing.
