Using electronic speckle pattern interferometry minipig molars were tested under load inside the bone socket and when embedded in a stiff polymer. It is demonstrated that the molar bends in the direction of the load in both configurations even at low loads. This shows that the intrinsic reaction of the tooth crown to load is complemented by the structures supporting the tooth.
