This is a mandible model based on a CT scan of a 40 year old male.

The model was developed for two purposes:

  10
  
1. Demonstration of how to apply force-dependent kinematics (FDK) for modeling of





  
  

  11
  
   the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)





  
  

  12
  
2. Validation of the predicted mandible kinematics with the FDK TMJ model and





  
  

  13
  
   comparison to a simpler point-on-plane (POP) model.
