Abstract

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely applied mathematical model that permit us to know the biomechanical behavior of the human mandible in various clinical situations under physiological and standardized trauma conditions. The three-dimensional FEM provides to simulate force systems applied and allows analysis of the response of the jawbone to the loads in 3D space. Clinical extrapolations from FEM may not give absolute values but they will provide detailed description of biomechanical pattern and a prediction of regional stresses distribution. This virtual modeling is useful to choose the most efficient localization and design of miniplate osteosynthesis and to test new biomaterials.
