The aim of this study was to perform a literature review on the use of finite element modeling
(FEM) for the evaluation of the biomechanical behavior of temporomandibular joint …

Contacts used in finite element (FE) models were considered as the best simulation for
interactions in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, the precision of simulations …

The human jaw is a complex biomechanical system involving different anatomical
components and an articulated muscular system devoted to its dynamical activation. The …

Finite element (FE) analysis has become a popular method of exploring the biomechanical
characteristics of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, the FE model should be …

The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are the only joints in the human skull and regulate all
mandibular motions. The functions of TMJs are considerably influenced by their …

Alveolar bone remodelling is vital for the success of dental implants and orthodontic
treatments. However, the underlying biomechanical mechanisms, in particular the function of …

Background For large mandibular defects, surgical reconstruction using microvascular
fibular grafts has advantages over other alternatives in terms of blood supply and good …

Orthognathic surgery is a useful treatment for the correction of mandibular deformity.
Different from other occlusions, unilateral occlusion is frequently used in mastication and …

The aim of this study is to analyse the biomechanical effects of bilateral sagittal split ramus
osteotomy (BSSRO) on temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of a patient with mandibular …

Introduction When the application of a free vascularised flap is not possible, a segmental
mandibular defect is often reconstructed using a conventional reconstruction plate …
