Analysis of Stress Patterns in the Human Mandible

Abstract
Replicas of a dentate human mandible were prepared in photoelastic resin material. They were positioned in a supporting frame by means of struts, representing the principal muscles of mastication. Occlusal loading was simulated, and the stresses generated within the models were examined by three-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis.
