  • Re: upper and lower jaw properties + question about dentistrymailing lists

    Dear all,

    thanks to all the people who responded to and/or showed interest in my
    question. You really sent me valuable information.

    Here is the original request :
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----
    I'm working on three-dimensional finite element models of the upper and
    lower jaw. Does anybody know of literature data on the mechanical
    properties of cortical and trabecular bone in these anatomical structures
    or has anybody performed some experiments to determine these properties?
    Especially data on trabecular bone is lacking (which is probably due to the
    problem of getting trabecular bone specimens of sufficient size from the
    jaws).
    And then a second question related to the same field : I'm looking for
    reference data for the musculatory system of the lower jaw : direction of
    the applied muscle forces relative to the jaw, force magnitude, muscle
    stiffness, point of attachment of the muscles. Can I find some kind of
    'standard' geometrical model in literature for the jaw muscles? Has
    anybody done EMG-measurements for different chewing or biting conditions
    (symmetric,asymmetric,...)?
    I would appreciate any information on these topics. Thanks in advance.

    These are the answers I received :

    I would appreciate if you can forward me literature from other
    researchers.

    Best wishes,

    Dear Hans,

    Information about composition, orientation and EMG of the human masticatory
    muscles can be found in various papers published by our department.
    You can brouwse through the Journal of Biomechanics, Journal of Dental
    Research and the Anatomical Record and find articles written by TMGJ
    van Eijden (muscle architecture) JH Koolstra (biomechanical modeling) and
    NG Blanksma (masticatory muscle EMG). If you have trouble finding these
    papers please contact me so I can try to send you reprints.
    About material properties in the jaws is very little known to my knowledge.
    I know the group of Dechow have worked on these but I have seen no
    publications exept posterpresentations on the IADR in Orlando this spring.
    For finite element modeling of the jaws you could also try to contact
    Tom Korioth in Minneapolis (I think). He has written a few papers about
    that subject.
    I could have written this reply in Dutch, but I was not sure about your
    language (although nour name sounds Flemmish).

    Many papers have been written on this subject. A medline search using
    mandible and biomechanics should give you a good start. You can find a good
    introductory paper in Clinics of Plastic Surgery Jan, 1992 pg 11-29 by
    Rudderman
    and Mullen entitled Biomechanics of the Facial Skeleton. There are several
    references there that can get you started.

    Thank you very much for these replies. All further information is of
    course welcome.

    By the way, is there anyone who knows of the existence of dentistry related
    mailing lists and if so, the procedures to subscribe to these lists?
    Thanks again for your help.

    Hans
