ABSTRACT

Teeth are the hardest part of the human body. Cracking of human teeth under compression progresses by avalanches emitting acoustic noise. Acoustic emission (AE) spectroscopy reveals that tooth avalanches are statistically fully compatible with predictions of mean field (MF) theory. Avalanche energies collapse into a power law distributed which is stable over more than five decades with an energy exponent ε = 1.4. Acoustic amplitudes (exponent ~τ), durations (~α), correlations between amplitudes and energies (~x), and correlations between amplitude and duration (~χ) follow equally power laws with MF values of all exponents. The exponents correlation: τ-1 = x(ε-1) = (α-1)/χ is confirmed. Crack propagation bifurcates and shows the hallmarks of avalanches where main cracks nucleate secondary cracks.
