partial removal of the nucleus pulpous. Understanding this behavior helps to improve the treatment of the degenerative nucleus pulpous. The results of the model show a good agreement with the available literature data. Acknowledgments We would like to thank Dr. Musaab A. Raheem for proofreading the paper.
