Finite element analysis of mechanical trauma in mandibular symphysis and angle in human mandible orthotropic

In literature, we observed differences in biomechanical responses in FEA, considering the mechanical property of the mandibular cortical bone as isotropic or as orthotropic. The orthotropy proved to be a property more precise to mandibular cortical bone in the application of masticatory loads. Thus, possible to establish with greater precision, stress values for better understanding of the biomechanical responses of the mandible in trauma situation. Thus, here we evaluated the stress generated by mechanical trauma in symphysis and angle of the human mandible with orthotropic cortical bone by finite element analysis.
