Two study factors were evaluated: implant length and angulation. Implant length was represented either by short implants (7 mm) with preservation of the mandibular lower cortical bone or standard implants (9 mm) Keywords: with a bicortical approach and 3 possible implant positioning configurations: 4 distally-inclined implants at 45° Atrophic mandible Dental implants (experimental model), all-on-four, 4 vertical implants. All tridimensional (3D) models were analyzed using the Finite element analysis Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Ansys Workbench software. Results: The maximum stress on the bone at the cervical region of the implants in the experimental model was 132 MPa and transcortical involvement with implant inclination yielded higher values (171 MPa). Regarding von Mises stress on the retaining screw of the prosthesis, 61 MPa was recorded for the experimental model while upright implants had the highest values (223 MPa). At the acrylic base, 4 MPa was recorded for the exper- imental model whereas models with upright implants showed the highest stress values (11 MPa). Conclusion: Rehabilitation of severely resorbed mandibles with 4 short implants placed distally at 45°, without lower transcortical involvement, were biomechanically more favorable, generating lower stress peaks, than the models with short implants on an all-on-four, or on an upright configuration, with or without lower transcortical involvement. © 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V. 1.

Experimental design This study involved the establishment of models of the mandible in silico with severe alveolar bone resorption and average bone height of 8 mm in the region of the symphysis. The mandibles were dentally reha- bilitated using implant-supported fixed dentures over 4 implants. Both the mandible and denture models were the same for all simulations. The study factors were the angulation of implants and implant length. Three possibilities were considered for the angulation of implants: (1) verti- cally positioned implants; (2) all-on-four (2 vertical anterior implants and 2 posterior implants distally inclined at 45° inclined); (3) 4 im- plants distally inclined implants at 45°. In addition, for each implant an- gulation model two implant lengths were used, a 7-mm short implant placement preserving the lower cortical bone of the mandible and a 9- mm implant model, which penetrates the lower cortical bone of the mandible. Six models were therefore generated: SI - short inclined im- plants; IT – inclined transcortical implants; SA - short implants posi- tioned as all-on-four; TA – transcortical short implants positioned as all-on-four; SU - short upright implants; UT - upright transcortical

The morphometry of the angle of mandible and its correlation with age and sex in the eThekwini metropolitan region: A panoramic study. Int. J. Morphol., 35(2):661-666, 2017. SUMMARY: The angle of mandible is formed by the tangent line joining the posterior margin of the ramus and the base of the mandible. The angle of mandible has population-specific characteristics therefore; it is imperative to the field of forensic anthropology for age and sex determination. Literary reports regarding the use of the angle of mandible for age and sex determination vary, as some studies support it, while other studies have documented inefficiencies. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to document the morphometry of the angle of mandible and to determine if a correlation between the angle of mandible, age and sex exists. Sixty four digital panoramic radiographs (n=128) of individuals between 16-30 years were morphometrically analysed using the Dicom Digital Imaging Software. The data was captured and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 23.0). Despite females having a greater angle of mandible than males, no statistically significant correlation was found between the size of the angle of mandible and sex (p=0.088).

  • The Muscles of the Jaw Are Some of the Strongest in the Human Body
    MUSCLES OF MASTICATION The muscles of the jaw are some of the strongest in the human body. They aid in chewing and speech by allowing us to open and close our mouths. Ready to unlock the mysteries of mastication? Then read on! OF MASSETERS AND MANDIBLES The deep and superficial masseter muscles enable mastication (chewing by pulling the mandible (jawbone) up towards the maxillae. Factoid! Humans’ jaws are able to bite with DEEP a force of about 150-200 psi (890 MASSETER Newtons). In contrast, a saltwater crocodile can bite with a force of 3,700 SUPERFICIAL psi (16, 400 Newtons)! MASSETER MAXILLA (R) 2 MANDIBLE MORE MASSETER FACTS The deep masseter’s origin is the zygomatic arch and the superficial masseter’s origin is the zygomatic bone. Both masseters insert into the ramus of the mandible, though the deep masseter’s insertion point is closer to the temporomandibular joint. The mandible is the only bone in the skull that we can consciously move (with the help of muscles, of course). 3 TEMPORALIS The temporalis muscles sit on either side of the head. Their job is to elevate and retract the mandible against the maxillae. They originate at the temporal fossa and temporal fascia and insert at the coronoid process and ramus of the mandible. 4 LATERAL SUPERIOR PTERYGOIDS HEAD The lateral pterygoids draw the mandibular condyle and articular disc of the temporomandibular joint forward. Each lateral pterygoid has two heads. The superior head originates at the sphenoid and infratemporal crest and the inferior head originates at the lateral pterygoid plate.

KNIGGE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DR. KIERAN P. MCNULTY December 2017 @ Ryan P. Knigge 2017 Acknowledgements First, I am deeply indebted to my advisor and mentor, Kieran McNulty, for many years of patience and support. He opened my eyes to exciting and innovative areas of scientific research and has challenged me to become a better student of anthropology, biology, and statistical practices. I am also particularly grateful for my committee members, Martha Tappen, Michael Wilson, and Alan Love, for so many interesting discussions and insights over the years. I thank the Department of Anthropology and my many friends and colleagues within for years of emotional and academic support. Many data collection and field work trips were funded through department block grants. Surely without these contributions, I would not have been able to succeed as a graduate student. I would like thank the previous and current managers of the Evolutionary Anthropology Labs at the University of Minnesota, John Soderberg and Matt Edling, for access to the collections and technical support. Without their help and generosity, data collection and analysis would not have been possible. I thank the University of Minnesota for supporting my research in many ways during my graduate school career. Portions of my data collection were funded through the University of Minnesota Graduate School Thesis Research Travel Grant. Dissertation writing support was provided through the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship.
