Although the concept of the occlusal load transfer through the facial skeleton along the
buttresses has been extensively studied, there has been no study to link microarchitecture of …

Understanding of the occlusal load distribution through the mid-facial skeleton in natural
dentition is essential because alterations in magnitude and/or direction of occlusal forces …

OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed detailed models of human mandibles at 3 different stages
of life with simulation of supra normal chewing forces at static conditions. METHODS AND …

Finite element analyses (FEA) that have simulated masticatory loadings of the human
mandible differ significantly with regard to their basic input variables such as material …

Several finite element models of a primate cranium were used to investigate the
biomechanical effects of the tooth sockets and the material behavior of the periodontal …

Aim: To identify mechanical and geometrical variables affecting the biofidelity of numerical
models of human mandible. Computed results sensibility to cortical bone orthotropy and …

The tissue scale is an important spatial scale for modeling the human body. Tissue-scale
biomechanical simulations can be used to estimate the internal muscle stresses and bone …

Craniofacial sutures are a ubiquitous feature of the vertebrate skull. Previous experimental
work has shown that bone strain magnitudes and orientations often vary when moving from …

We propose a computationally efficient, bio-mechanically relevant soft-tissue simulation
method for cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery. Special emphasis is given to comply with the …

Biomechanical models provide a means to analyze movement and forces in highly complex
anatomical systems. Models can be used to explain cause and effect in normal body …
