Abstract

The article presents details of mathematical modeling and subsequent structural analysis of the mandible under occlusal load simulation. A three-dimensional model of the mandible has been developed and analyzed using the finite element displacement matrix approach. Both displacement and stress results are presented. The results are compared with tests of a human mandible using holographic inferferometry. The good agreement achieved indicates that the modeling technique is reliable, thereby paving the way to applying the same for detailed dental implant analysis.
