A Three Dimensional Numerical Interaction Model for the Fixation of Mandibular Fractures
نویسنده
چکیده
Two and three dimensional finite element models (FEM) were developed to simulate the behavior of a fractured jaw bone and the fixation materials. Mini-plates with various geometric and material properties and screw combinations were considered. Their effects on the variation of maximum stress contours were investigated. The geometric and material properties of the plate, screw and bone were seen to play important roles in effecting the relative displacement at the fractured surface and the spatial variation of the maximum stress across the jaw bone. Softer materials yielded less stress concentrations around the screws while increasing the relative deformation at the fractured surface and stiffer ones caused higher stress concentrations while decreasing the displacements. Results were also seen to be dependent on the loading and the need for the use of patient specific 3D solutions was emphasized. KeywordsMandible,fracture,miniplate, FE modeling

Introduction: Mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. A variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. However, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.Present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, coron...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Titanium Mini Plates in Management of Mandibular Fractures
The treatment of mandibular fractures has evolved from various forms of wiring, splinting, intermaxillary fixation, rigid fixation, compression plates, and mini plates. But in all this circumastances there is a chance of potential infection and malunion in mandibular fracture site. So in our study we used three dimensional titanium miniplates to stabilize the mandibular fracture site. The 3 D t...
