Abstract:Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are one of the leading health problems in dentistry. The work aimed to evaluate, using FEM, the influence of the material elastic properties of the flexible obstacle of the tongue trainer on the range of deflection and strength.In prototyping the trainer tongue, the starting point was real models with different extents of the tongue obstacle. moulded from dental wax on a dental stone model. Then versions were tested intraorally for the perception of the space occupied by the t… Show more
