The internal bony structure of ten dentate human mandibles was examined on lateral radiograms, and the condylar shape measured with a digital electronic machine. The external surface was coated with photoelastic material. Each mandible was then placed in centric occlusion with brass replicas of the upper arch and the glenoid fossae and set in a supporting frame. Occlusal loads were simulated and the isoclinics recorded in plane-polarized light. The isostatic flow lines were constructed for each mandible. A relation was found between the mandibular structure and the distribution pattern of these lines.
对十具人类有齿下颌骨的内部骨质结构进行了侧位X线片检查，并用数字电子仪器测量髁突形状。其外表面涂有光弹性材料。然后将每个下颌骨与上颌牙弓和关节窝的黄铜复制品进行正中咬合，并固定在一个支撑框架中。模拟咬合负荷，并在平面偏振光下记录等倾线。为每个下颌骨构建了等静压流线。发现下颌骨结构与这些流线的分布模式之间存在一种关系。
