In this paper, we present new developments in the area of 3D human jaw modeling and animation. CT (Computed Tomography) scans have traditionally been used to evaluate patients with dental implants, assess tumors, cysts, fractures and surgical procedures. More recently this data has been utilized to generate models. Researchers have reported semi-automatic techniques to segment and model the hum...

INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious side effect in patients receiving nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates intravenously due to malignant diseases. Albeit far less frequently, osteonecrosis of the jaw has also been reported to occur due to the oral administration of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates due to osteoporosis. Annual infusions of zoledronic acid have been recommended i...

We investigated the jaw opening degree and jaw opening pathway on 138 normal subjects and 104 abnormal subjects to make an objective basis of the jaw opening pathway as one of the examinations of stomatognathic dysfunction. As examining the terminal hinge opening pathways we distinguished the initial phase in which the movement of the condyle was considered mainly to be rotation from the second...
