Educe Biomechanical Analysis of Stress-distribution in Condyle of Temporomandibular Joint
- Stomatologická klinika 1. LF UK, Praha, přednosta prof. MUDr. J. Mazánek, DrSc.
The authors presents to determine the magnitude of a stress distribution and a deformation around the head of the mandible and an articular disc. In the first part he briefly pays attention to the anatomy and the pathology of the temporomandibular joint. In the secondpart he describes a calculation by means of Finite Element Method (FEM).
Keywords: temporomandibular joint; finite element method; stress distribution; deformation
