 Figure 3. Tri-axial symphyseal forces and torques during a cycle of jaw opening and closing expressed in time. (a) The conventions used to express symphyseal forces are demonstrated. During a cycle of jaw opening and closing, the force on symphysis along the anteroposterior x-axis (scaffold building direction) and superoinferior z-axis was negligible. The force on symphysis in the transverse y direction (scaffold transverse direction) reached 127.5 N at maximum jaw opening. (b) The conventions used to express symphyseal torques are demonstrated. A maximum torque of 6.36 N.m around the z-axis and 2.35 N.m around the x-axis was induced on the symphysis. Torque around the y-axis was negligible. (c) Schematic illustration of the modeled forces on a scaffold (1×1×2 cm) in the symphysis during a cycle of jaw opening and closing.
