Aneurysmal Bone Cyst located in the Mandibular Condyle

Head & Face Medicine, 2009
A rare case of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) located in the mandibular condyle in a 10-year-old boy is presented. The patient came to our attention for a sudden swelling in the right temporomandibular region, the mouth opening was not reduced.

Extraction of 3D trajectories of mandibular condyles from 2D real-time MRI [PDF]

arXiv
Computing the trajectories of mandibular condyles directly from MRI could provide a comprehensive examination, allowing for the extraction of both anatomical and kinematic details. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of extracting 3D condylar trajectories from 2D real-time MRI and to assess their precision.Twenty healthy subjects underwent ...

Equine temporomandibular joint diseases: A systematic review

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs. Objectives To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.

Biomechanical models to simulate consequences of maxillofacial surgery [PDF]

C. R. Biologies 325 (2002) 407-417, 2006
This paper presents the biomechanical finite element models that have been developed in the framework of the computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery. After a brief overview of the continuous elastic modelling method, two models are introduced and their use for computer-assisted applications discussed. The first model deals with orthognathic surgery and

True chondroma of the mandibular condyle: A rare case

Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2014
Chondroma of the mandibular condyle is a rare benign tumor, with just a handful of cases reported in the literature. Chondromas are rare in the maxillofacial region, but are quite common in the bones of the hands and feet. So far only eight cases of true

A Personalized 4D Workflow for the Manufacturing of Functional and Removable Esthetic Devices: A Technical Report

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This technical report describes a fully digital workflow for the manufacturing of a functional removable esthetic device (FRED) that addresses multiple clinical scenarios before prosthetic rehabilitation. The proposed method integrates advanced digital tools to achieve functional and esthetic outcomes while ensuring reversibility and

A 3D Finite Element model of the face for simulation in plastic and maxillo-facial surgery [PDF]

Lecture notes in computer science (LNCS) 1935 (2000) 1068-1075, 2006
This paper introduces a new Finite Element biomechanical model of the human face, which has been developed to be integrated into a simulator for plastic and maxillo-facial surgery. The idea is to be able to predict, from an aesthetic and functional point of view, the deformations of a patient face, resulting from repositioning of the maxillary and ...

Growth and mechanical correlations of calcified cartilage in Batoidea: A histomorphological study using the Raja asterias model

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in Raja asterias (Delaroche, 1809), a member of the Batoidea, to explore the relationship between histomorphology and the mechanics of batoid locomotion within the water column. Although much prior research has focused on the “tessellated pattern” in these fishes,

Giant cell reparative granuloma of the mandibular condyle: A rare presentation and literature review

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases, 2018
Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is an extremely rare occurrence in the mandibular condyle. Here we describe the case of a 41-year-old man with a GCRG of the right mandibular condyle.

Computational simulation of cranial soft tissue expansion on the cranium during early postnatal growth in humans

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We use computer simulations of soft tissue growth to investigate the role of simple physical deformation in the development of the postnatal human cranium. We found that simulated expansion of the model endocranial volume resulted in cranial shape changes consistent with those seen in a normative early postnatal sample, using Procrustes analyses.
