Biomechanical Analysis in Human Masticatory System

Abstract:

The necessary theoretical and methodological foundation is provided by means of which the human mastication process could be studied and reproduced in a digital dynamic way. This paper reviews previous publications and elaborates further mathematical analysis and mechanical analysis of biomechanical functions, explaining the characteristics of human mandible, Temporomandibular joints (TMJs), muscles based on clinical anatomy, and analysing the inter-relationship and inter-reflection between each component of this multi-body assembled organism.
