title: The intrusive mobility of the incisor tooth of the guinea pig.
abstract: The pattern of mobility of the mandibular incisor with intrusive loads was consistent with the view that the periodontal tissues are viscoelastic. A significant time-dependency of the response was observed. The pattern of mobility was similar to that reported for axially directed extrusive loads and for horizontal loads.
