Comparative study of two different types of human mandible boundary conditions used in finite element calculations

The comparison of two different approaches to modeling muscles and masticatory forces focuses on the differences between two types of boundary conditions. The first method uses data from the literature to model muscle forces and their directions. The second method approaches muscle modeling as finite elements that connect the lower jaw with the skull. Models of living tissues were created based on data from CT scans and subsequently modeled in 3D CAD software SolidWorks. The resulting calculations were performed in the finite element analysis software ANSYS.
