Ítem 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.Ítem Three-dimensional evaluation of mandibular bone regenerated by bone transport distraction osteogenesis(SPRINGER, 2011-07-01) Kontogiorgos, E.; Elsalanty, M.E.; Zapata, U.; Zakhary, I.; Nagy, W.W.; Dechow, P.C.; Opperman, L.A.; Kontogiorgos, E.; Elsalanty, M.E.; Zapata, U.; Zakhary, I.; Nagy, W.W.; Dechow, P.C.; Opperman, L.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Materiales de IngenieríaThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the structure and material properties of native mandibular bone and those of early regenerate bone, produced by bone transport distraction osteogenesis. Ten adult foxhounds were divided into two groups of five animals each. In all animals, a 3- to 4-cm defect was created on one side of the mandible. A bone transport reconstruction plate, consisting of a reconstruction plate with an attached intraoral transport unit, was utilized to stabilize the mandible and regenerate bone at a rate of 1 mm/day. After the distraction period was finished, the animals were killed at 6 and 12 weeks of consolidation. Micro-computed tomography was used to assess the morphometric and structural indices of regenerate bone and matching bone from the unoperated contralateral side. Significant new bone was formed within the defect in the 6- and 12-week groups. Significant differences (P = 0.05) between mandibular regenerated and native bone were found in regard to bone volume fraction, mineral density, bone surface ratio, trabecular thickness, trabecular separation, and connectivity density, which increased from 12 to 18 weeks of consolidation. We showed that regenerated bone is still mineralizing and that native bone appears denser because of a thick outer layer of cortical bone that is not yet formed in the regenerate. However, the regenerate showed a significantly higher number of thicker trabeculae. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Ítem Three-dimensional evaluation of mandibular bone regenerated by bone transport distraction osteogenesis(SPRINGER, 2011-07-01) Kontogiorgos, E.; Elsalanty, M.E.; Zapata, U.; Zakhary, I.; Nagy, W.W.; Dechow, P.C.; Opperman, L.A.; Universidad EAFIT.

Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Laboratorio CAD/CAM/CAEThis paper presents an extension visual attention maps for volume data visualization, where eye fixation points become rays in the 3D space, and the visual attention map becomes a volume. This Volume Visual Attention Map (VVAM) is used to interactively enhance a ray-casting based direct volume rendering (DVR) visualization. The practical application of this idea into the biomedical image visualization field is explored for interactive visualization. © 2012 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved.
