The intrusive mobility of the incisor tooth of the guinea pig.
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.
