A multi-patient analysis of the center of rotation trajectories using finite element models of the human mandible [PDF]
Studying different types of tooth movements can help us to better understand the force systems used for tooth position correction in orthodontic treatments. This study considers a more realistic force system in tooth movement modeling across different patients and investigates the effect of the couple force direction on the position of the center of ...
