    Citation Excerpt :

    Photo-biomechanics is a discipline of science that utilizes optical techniques to study the behavior of biological structures under function or external forces (biomechanics). It includes the investigations of biological structure/ function at any level, ranging from organisms to organs, cells and organelles using the knowledge and methods of mechanics and photonics [1]. In dentistry, these investigations are crucial to comprehend the biomechanical principles of dental tissues and to approximate the properties of artificial materials with natural tooth structure.
