This study was designed to investigate the biomechanical effect of protractive maxillary
orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex by use of the three-dimensional finite element …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of directions of extraoral maxillary
protraction forces on biomechanical changes in the craniofacial complex, using the three …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution patterns within the
craniofacial complex during rapid maxillary expansion. Therefore, a finite element model of …

The morphology of the skeleton is known to reflect functional demand. A change in the
intramaxillary position of molars can be expected to influence the transfer of occlusal forces …

The goal of this study was to contribute to an understanding of how much expansion force is
needed during a maxillary expansion (ME) and where bony reaction takes place. A finite …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of stress distributions in the
craniofacial sutures produced by orthopaedic maxillary protraction forces applied to the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical effect of rapid maxillary expansion
(RME) on the craniofacial complex by using a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) …

INTRODUCTION: The aims of this study were to develop a method for constructing a 3-
dimensional finite-element model (FEM) of the maxilla and to evaluate the effects of …

Stress distribution in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) during chincup therapy was
investigated by means of a three-dimensional finite element model of the mandible …
