The finite element analysis (FEA) is an upcoming and significant research tool for
biomechanical analyses in biological research. It is an ultimate method for modeling …

Objectives A validated numerical model for stress/strain predictions is essential in
understanding the biomechanical behavior of implant-supported dental prostheses. The …

Background Although titanium plates/screws are effective fixation methods (FM) after L-
shaped osteotomy reduction malarplasty (LORM), the ideal FM remains controversial. This …

Accurate finite element (FE) modeling of complex skeletal anatomy requires high resolution
in both meshing and the heterogeneous mapping of material properties onto the generated …

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

Characterizing the biomechanical behavior of sutures in the human craniofacial skeleton
(CFS) is essential to understand the global impact of these articulations on load …

Naso-orbitoethmoid fractures account for 5% of all facial fractures. We used data derived
from a white 34-year-old man to make a transient dynamic finite element model, which …

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

The complex, thin and irregular bones of the human craniofacial skeleton (CFS) are
connected together through bony articulations and connective tissues. These articulations …

In clinical computed tomography (CT) images, cortical bone features with sub-millimeter
(sub-mm) thickness are substantially blurred, such that their thickness is overestimated and …
