Adaptation Of The Biodent For Spherical Microindentation To Determine Elastic Modulus In Small Rodent Bones
… <p>In the current study, we tested whether a BioDent<sup>TM</sup>, Reference Point Indentation (RPI) device, could be reconfigured and repurposed for use as a spherical microindentation system for testing small rodent bones. Originally, the BioDent is a small, benchtop loading device …

Characterization of developing porcine cortical bone: applications of mechanical and optical methods
… review, an analysis of tip wear of the BioDent and Osteoprobe devices is presented. The second study is a characterization of the mechanical effects on bone caused by induced colitis using three different measurement techniques. First, reference point indentation using the BioDent device …

Simulations of deformations and fracture of biological materials
… of reference point indentation instruments: Biodent and Osteoprobe (ActiveLife, Santa Barbara, CA). The first instrument involves a cyclic quasi-static indentation and has multiple outputs, while the second involves one loading cycle and has one unique output. This thesis links the reference …

Characterization of swine femoral cortical bone using the reference point indentation technique
The investigation of mechanical properties of bone, specifically fracture properties, is an important aspect of studying bone quality, and can potentially be used to predict the risk of bone fracture. In this study, a novel microindentation technique, the reference point indentation (RPI) …
