Abstract:

Objective

To study the establishment of the model for analyzing stress distribution on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) based on the I-Scan system.

Methods

Three fresh-frozen cadaveric heads with normal occlusion and TMJ were selected through oral examination, CT and MRI, I-Scan system and BOSE force machine was used to analyze the stress distribution of TMJ when it was loaded(107 N, 214 N, 321 N, 12° forward).

Results

(1)The whole system was constructed and worked well.(2)Under the centric occlusion, the most pressed area was the lateral part of both posterior of the eminence and the anterior of the condylar. (3)As the loading increased, the interface peak pressure of TMJ increases (P<0.05),except for the upper articular cavity in the left side when it was under the loading 107 N VS 214 N and 214 N VS 321 N (P>0.05). (4)when loaded, the interface peak pressure in lower compartment of TMJ is greater than the upper (P<0.05). (5)Under the loading, the stress distribution in one side of TMJ is different from the other side (P<0.05).

Conclusions

The model based on the fresh-frozen cadaveric head and the I-Scan system could be more intuitive and realistic to analyze the stress distribution in TMJ qualitatively. In the trial condition, the most pressed area of TMJ was the lateral part of both posterior of the eminence and the anterior of the condylar, the buffering of the ice fresh disc make the interface peak pressure different between the upper and lower articular cavity, and the asymmetry of the joint make peak pressure different in the both side of TMJ.
