Development of Innovative Osteosynthesis Techniques by Numerical and In Vitro Simulation of the Masticatory System

  • Conference paper
Lectures on Applied Mathematics

Abstract

Maxillofacial surgery still faces a considerable number of biomechanical questions. An attempt to cope with the complexity of the masticatory system is introduced: synchronizing numerical simulation and in vitro experiments for mutual validation in order to clarify some events out of the vast number of unknown variables in the chewing process, such as muscle forces, bone stress and strain. This interdisciplinary project can be considered a promising approach based on the latest technology in medicine, mathematics and mechanical engineering. In addition, the application of adaptive materials will help to optimize maxillofacial surgery.
