Abstract:The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional model of a patient's craniofacial structure to be analysed using the finite element method in order to estimate the forces required to carry out a dental positioning's correction. The three-dimensional model was composed by several anatomical structures, namely the teeth, the periodontal ligaments, and the trabecular and cortical bones, which were modelled with the aid of computed tomography cone beam images. The tomographic images were analysed and reco… Show more
