The craniofacial skeleton is often described in the clinical literature as being comprised of
vertical bony pillars, which transmit forces from the toothrow to the neurocranium as axial …

Purpose: To perform a comparative analysis of the palatal bone thickness in Thai patients
exhibiting class I malocclusion according to whether they exhibited a normal or open vertical …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a commonly used tool in musculoskeletal biomechanics and
vertebrate paleontology. The accuracy and precision of finite element models (FEMs) are …

The mechanical behaviour of the mandibles of Pan and Macaca during mastication was
compared using finite element modelling. Muscle forces were calculated using species …

Purpose Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) implants have become increasingly popular for use
in reconstructive procedures. It is imperative to understand the consequences of using this …

Introduction The aim of the present study was to evaluate the thickness of the hard palate at
the different angles formed by the palatal plane and the Frankfort horizontal line using …

Abstract Background/Aim Le Fort lines have traditionally been considered as zones of
weakness in the mid‐facial skeleton although the structural basis of increased bone fragility …

Introduction. Good implant stability is one of the most important factors for successful implant
therapy. This precondition is important for all kinds of implants, oral and extra-oral, ie …

Stomathognatic system with its anatomy and function represents a very complex
mechanism. In order to simulate its basic function, it is necessary to have a very precise and …

La masticación es la primera parte de la función digestiva y se realiza mediante la
trituración de los alimentos. Durante la masticación se realiza un trabajo en forma …
