    Purpose: Bone transport distraction osteogenesis provides a promising alternative to traditional grafting techniques. However, existing bone transport distraction osteogenesis devices have many limitations. The purpose of this research was to test a new device, the mandibular bone transport reconstruction plate, in an animal model with comparable mandible size to humans and to histologically and mechanically examine the regenerate bone. Materials and Methods: Eleven adult foxhounds were divided into an unreconstructed control group of 5 animals and an experimental group of 6 animals. In each animal, a 34-mm segmental defect was created in the mandible. The defect was reconstructed with a bone transport reconstruction plate. Histologic and biomechanical characteristics of the regenerate and unrepaired defect were analyzed and compared with bone on the contralateral side of the mandible after 4 weeks of consolidation. Results: The reconstructed defect was bridged with new bone, with little bone in the control defect. Regenerate density and microhardness were 22.3% and 42.6%, respectively, lower than the contralateral normal bone. Likewise, the anisotropy of the experimental group was statistically lower than in the contralateral bone. Half the experimental animals showed nonunion at the docking site. Conclusion: The device was very stable and easy to install and activate. After 1 month of consolidation, the defect was bridged with new bone, with evidence of active bone formation. Regenerate bone was less mature than the control bone. Studies are underway to identify when the regenerate properties compare with normal bone and to identify methods to augment bone union at the docking site. © 2012 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

    Creation of a three-dimensional model of the mandible and the TMJ in vivo by means of the finite element method.
    (Quintessenz Verlags GmbH, 2002-04-01) Castaño MC; Zapata U; Pedroza A; Jaramillo JD; Roldán S; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Bioingeniería GIB (CES – EAFIT)
    The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional finite element model of the mandible, including its TMJ. The model consisted of 7942 nodes and 41,010 elements, which were obtained from a convergence test, done to minimize the result error. It included cancellous and cortical bone, periodontal ligament, masticatory muscles (masseters, temporalis, lateral and internal pterygoids), teeth and the articular disk. All characteristics such as dental, mandibular, and muscle geometry were obtained from a computerized tomography (CT) of a living person. CT sections were scanned and digitized with a CAD software program. After images were adequately assembled, a vertical tracing was done which allowed the definition of a three-dimensional mesh. Modeling of teeth was carried out independently and the periodontal ligament was later included, limiting the alveolar area. Muscles were modeled based on flat-scale photographs and total muscle force was distributed in multiple vectors. The articular disk was generated having 2 mm of thickness with the combination of spring-type (axial stiffness) and gap-type (contact) elements. The model was then analyzed with finite element method (FEM) software where a mesh was generated and values for Poisson's ratio, elasticity, and shear modulus were assigned. These were orthotropic for cancellous and cortical bone, and isotropic for dentin, periodontal ligament, articular disk, and temporal bone. The boundary conditions were defined restricting the nodes on the periphery of the temporal bone. It was therefore possible to generate a three-dimensional finite element model based on information obtained in vivo.

    Evaluation of the structural behavior of three and four implant-supported fixed prosthetic restorations by finite element analysis.
    (ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2012-04-01) Correa S; Ivancik J; Isaza JF; Naranjo M; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Diseño; Ingeniería de Diseño (GRID)
    PURPOSE: There is much controversy about the minimum number of implants and maximum cantilever length in mandible prosthetic restoration. Finite elements analysis of three and four implant-supported prostheses was performed to determine the stresses in the superstructure, implants and cortical bone and, therefore, the failure prediction for each restoration. METHODS: An edentulous mandible was modeled from CT scan images. Two finite element models of three and four implant-supported prostheses with cantilever lengths of 10 and 15 mm were created. Occlusal loads in different parts of the superstructure were applied and shear and normal stresses were calculated. RESULTS: Two failure criteria were analyzed: the von Mises criterion for isotropic materials (superstructure and implants) and the Tsai-Wu criterion for transversely isotropic material (cortical bone). Both criteria predict failure in the three implant-supported prosthesis for all cases analyzed. The same applies for the four-implant prosthesis of 15 mm cantilever length. However, four implants and a cantilever length of 10mm passed the failure criteria and were considered safe. CONCLUSIONS: The results from the patient analyzed showed that fixed support prostheses on three implants are not recommended from a structural point of view because they do not adequately support occlusal loads. Excessive stress in the superstructure and the cortical bone can be expected, which would anticipate the failure of the restoration. Fixed support prostheses on four implants with a cantilever length of 10mm properly resist occlusal loading.
