Surgical reconstruction of craniofacial deformities has advanced significantly in recent years.
However, unlike orthopedic surgery of the appendicular skeleton, the biomechanical …

Developing a more complete understanding of the mechanical response of the craniofacial
skeleton (CFS) to physiological loads is fundamental to improving treatment for traumatic …

Understanding how the skull transmits and dissipates forces during feeding provides
insights into the selective pressures that may have driven the evolution of primate skull …

Many complications in craniofacial surgery can be attributed to a lack of characterization of
facial skeletal strain patterns. This study aimed to delineate human midfacial strain patterns …

Background The trend towards optimizing stabilization of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton
(CMFS) with the minimum amount of fixation required to achieve union, and away from …

Development of predictive models of occlusal loading of the facial skeleton will be of value
for prosthetic design in oral rehabilitation. A 3‐D finite element (FE) model of a human skull …

The accurate evaluation and subsequent treatment of facial injuries rely substantially on an
understanding of facial biomechanics. Findings on stress distributions of the mandible …

Advanced head and neck cancers involving the mandible often require surgical removal of
the diseased parts and replacement with donor bone or prosthesis to recreate the form and …

The purpose of this study was to develop a three-dimensional finite element model of the
craniofacial skeleton using a dry human skull. The model consisted of 2918 nodes and 1776 …

Multibody modelling is underutilised in craniofacial analyses, particularly when compared to
other computational methods such as finite element analysis. However, there are many …
