Abstract:: Oral mucosa tissues are exposed to various forces, particularly when chewing. Under such loading, the oral soft tissues are subjected to considerable elastic deformation. This given study assesses the load-deformation properties of the oral mucosa of mandible in unembalmed human specimens. The study investigates the significance of non-fixed human specimens in the area of the attached gingiva compared to the oral mucosa. Previous studies demonstrated that a difference regarding tissue elasticity and mobility in the area of the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa exists. A higher elastic-modulus of the attached gingiva compared to alveolar mucosa is expected, but this has so far only been tested on embalmed human specimens.
