Abstract: In this study, we computationally assess the effects of the distributed fibre orientation in the periodontal ligament (PDL) on mechanical responses of the tooth-PDL complex. An idealised axial-symmetric geometry of a tooth-PDL complex was constructed. The fibre orientation in the PDL was modelled as a trigonometric function based on anatomical knowledge, and the PDL was modelled as a transversely isotropic hyperelastic material dependent on fibre orientations. Parametric studies of the fibre orientation on the mechanical responses of the tooth-PDL complex were conducted. Obtained results showed that the anatomically consistent fibre orientation functions as a supporting structure against not only vertical but also horizontal loads.
