A human mandible was duplicated in birefringent resin. The distribution and effect of occlusal forces within the mandible was demonstrated utilizing birefringent resin models compared to natural specimens. The results of this study reinforce those theories that assign function a major role in bone remodeling in the mandible. Further, the condyle is seen to be a stress-bearing structure.
用双折射树脂复制了一块人类下颌骨。与天然标本相比，利用双折射树脂模型展示了下颌骨内咬合力的分布和作用。本研究结果强化了那些认为功能在下颌骨骨重塑中起主要作用的理论。此外，髁突被视为一个承重结构。
