Displacement Patterns of the Maxilla During Parallel and Rotational Setback Movements: A Finite Element Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the displacement patterns of the maxilla under parallel and rotational setbacks using the finite element method (FEM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a hemimaxilla was constructed. Through a conventional Le Fort I osteotomy, 2 and 3 mm of posterior movement in a parallel and rotational manner were simulated and the displacement pattern of the maxilla in each movement type was evaluated. RESULTS Both parallel and rotational setbacks resulted in lateral and inferior displacement of the maxillary segment. The largest inferior displacement was 3.0 mm and the largest lateral displacement was 1.84 mm. All lateral displacements in the anterior region were found to be more than 1 mm. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study may provide insight into how the maxilla tends to move during total maxillary setback surgery.

Generally, the finite element method is a powerful procedure for analysis of tall buildings. Yet, it should be noted that there are some problems in the application of many finite elements to the analysis of tall building structures. The presence of artificial flexure and parasitic shear effects in many lower order plane stress and membrane elements, cause the numerical procedure to converge in...

In this paper, an efficient technique is presented for static analysis of tall buildings with combined tube-in-tube and outrigger-belt truss system while considering shear lag effects. In the process of replacing the discrete structure with an elastically equivalent continuous one, the structure is modeled as two parallel cantilevered flexural-shear beams that are constrained at the outrigger-b...
