矫形力作用下下颌骨重建过程的数值模拟

下颌骨在矫形力作用下重建过程研究,对矫治方案确定等具有重要的指导意义.作者首先建立下颌骨与颞下颌关节的三维有限元模型,并以此为基础,依据Cowin重建规律,对在矫形外力作用下下颌骨矫治过程中骨的法向重建进行了数值模拟.对重建前后数值模拟结果的比较表明,法向重建过程对于下颌骨的表面应力分布和应力梯度的分布具有较大的影响,因而在下颌骨矫治方案的制定过程中这一因素不可忽视.

Numerical simulation of remodeling in mandible under orthopedic loads

The research on the remodeling in mandible under the action of orthopedic loads is important for the determination of orthopedic scheme. a three-dimensional finite element model of mandible and temporomandibular joint is established. Using Cowin Remodeling Law, the finite element simulation of the remodeling in mandible during the orthopedics under the action of orthopedic loads is carried out. Comparing the numerical results after remodeling with those before remodeling, it is demonstrated that the normal remodeling greatly affects the distribution of strain and strain gradient on the surface, therefore the effect cannot be ignored in the determination of the orthopedic scheme.
