Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) loading affected by the decreasing interarch distance with occlusal attrition.

Methods

With the model reconstructed in preliminary study, record and analyze the loading distribution of TMJ when the interarch distance was decrease.

Results

(1)In the different interarch distance, the stress center of TMJ shifted to lower interface of the right side, and the most pressed area of the articular surfaces was displacement inordinately. (2)As the interarch distance decreased, all the interface peak pressure of TMJ increased (P<0.05), and the interface peak pressure in lower compartment of TMJ is greater than the upper (P<0.05). (3)As the interarch distance decreased, the contact area of the TMJ have no significant different.

Conclusions

When the the interarch distance decreased because of the the dental attrition, the occlusion relationship would be changed, which caused the joint structure had a relative displacement and the change of its internal stress environment. All could eventually cause the biomechanical reconstruction.

Key words: Temporomandibular joint loading, Interarch distance, Experimental mechanics
