    Summary

    Human mandibular structure influences stress distribution. This study examined ten mandibles, revealing a relationship between internal bone anatomy and stress flow lines, crucial for understanding jaw mechanics.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Dental Anatomy
    • Human Osteology

    Background:

    • Understanding the biomechanics of the human mandible is essential for prosthodontics and oral surgery.
    • Previous research has explored mandibular morphology, but detailed stress distribution analysis linked to internal structure is less understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between the internal bony structure of human mandibles and the resulting stress distribution patterns.
    • To analyze how condylar shape and internal anatomy correlate with isostatic flow lines under simulated occlusal loads.

    Main Methods:

    • Lateral radiograms and digital electronic measurements were used to analyze the internal bony structure and condylar shape of ten human mandibles.
    • Photoelastic coating was applied to the external surface, followed by simulation of centric occlusion and occlusal loads.

  • Isoclinics were recorded using plane-polarized light, and isostatic flow lines were constructed to visualize stress distribution.

    • Main Results:

    • A direct correlation was identified between the specific internal mandibular bone structure and the pattern of isostatic flow lines.
    • The distribution of stress lines varied based on the examined mandibular anatomy and condylar morphology.

    Conclusions:

    • The internal anatomical features of the human mandible play a significant role in determining how occlusal forces are distributed.
    • These findings provide a basis for understanding functional adaptations and potential failure points in mandibular bone under stress.
