Tooth fracture by impact is the most common cause of fracture in human incisors. We have designed an experimental system to measure the dynamic fracture force of teeth in vitro , and initial results obtained from a sample of healthy, recently removed human incisors are reported. The method was reproducible and reliable, and the results provide a baseline for studies evaluating the effect of endodontic procedures on the dynamic fracture force of teeth.
