The present work suggests research and innovation on the topic of dental education after
the COVID-19 pandemic, is highly justified and could lead to a step change in dental …

Motion of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a pivotal role in the
function of the dentition and associated hard and soft tissue structures, and facilitates …

Early-stage temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is characterized by excessive
subchondral bone loss. Emerging evidence suggests that TMJ disc displacement is …

Assessment of mandibular dynamics is essential for examining stomatognathic functions,
and many kinds of stomatognathic diseases, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) …

Three-dimensional finite element models (FEMs) are powerful tools for studying the
mechanical behaviour of the feeding system. Using validated, static FEMs we have …

Temporomandibular joints (TMJs) constitute a pair of joints that connect the jawbone to the
skull. TMJs are bilateral joints which work as one unit in conducting daily functions such as …

Abstract Background and Objective Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) represent a wide
range of musculoskeletal disorders associated with the maxillofacial system, which …

The mechanical overloading of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is generally linked to
temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, in patients with a typical combination of …

Mastication is the motor task with the highest muscle activations of the jaw region, potentially
leading to high temporomandibular joint (TMJ) loading. Since increased loading of the TMJ …

Many patients suffering from oral and maxillofacial tumors cannot open their mouths wide
after mandibular reconstruction surgery. Musculoskeletal multibody modeling could be a …
