The creep behavior of untreated and deproteinized dental enamel in dry and wet state was analyzed by nanoindentation with a spherical tip. Additionally, the influence of the loading rate was investigated. Dry untreated and deproteinized dental enamel only showed minor creep over 100 s and deproteinization did not affect the dry enamel's behavior significantly. With slower loading rates some creep already occurs during the loading period, such that the creep displacement during load hold is less than with faster loading rates. Wet untreated and deproteinized enamel showed significantly more creep compared to the dry samples. The differences between the untreated and deproteinized enamel were only minor but significant, revealing that water affects the creep behavior of biological materials such as enamel significantly. The proposed deformation mechanism of naturally porous enamel under compression is compaction of the HAP crystallites and fluid displacement within material underneath the indented area.
This study investigates the creep behavior of untreated and deproteinized dental enamel in dry and wet conditions. It is shown that while the protein content does not affect enamel's behavior significantly, the wet conditions lead to an increased creep in enamel. The proposed deformation mechanism of naturally porous enamel under compression is compaction of the HAP crystallites and fluid displacement within material underneath the indented area. Based on this observation a simple analytical model has been developed, aiming to deepen our understanding of the deformation behavior of biological materials.
