Supplementary Data for "Simulation of the Periodontal Ligament in Dental Materials Research: A CAD/CAM-Based Method for PDL Modeling and a Scoping Review"

This repository contains supplementary data associated with the experimental part of the study. The files include raw measurement data from Periotest calibration and functional testing, as well as STL design files of the CAD/CAM model components (tooth, socket, and positioning device). All data are provided for reproducibility and to support future research on standardized PDL-simulation models. ⸻ File List 1. Periotest_Calibration_Raw_Data.xlsx Contains raw Periotest measurement data used to establish the calibration curve (PDL thickness vs. PTV). Columns include specimen ID, measurement direction (buccal, palatal, mesial, distal, vertical), and PTV values for each tested PDL thickness. 2. Periotest_Study_Group_Raw_Data.xlsx Contains Periotest results obtained from the experimental model described in the article. Data correspond to horizontal and vertical directions used in statistical analysis and functional validation. 3. CAD_File_Tooth_Model.stl 3D model of the single-rooted maxillary premolar replica used in the experiment. 4. CAD_File_Socket.stl 3D model of the PMMA socket representing the alveolar bone cavity with the designed PDL space. 5. CAD_File_Positioner.stl 3D-printed positioning device used to standardize the alignment and insertion depth of the tooth model during PDL simulation and assembly. ⸻ Usage Notes • The CAD/STL files can be opened and edited in standard 3D design software (e.g., Autodesk Fusion 360, Meshmixer, Blender). • Periotest data are formatted for import into spreadsheet software (e.g., Excel, Origin, R). • Calibration data correspond to Figure 2 (“Calibration curve: PDL thickness vs. PTV”). • All files are released for academic and non-commercial research use under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
