Research study of mandible fracture reconstructions from a biomechanical standpoint

This thesis deals with the treatment of mandibular fractures using splints and fixators. The topic was the development of a detailed research study based on available literature. The work also indicates basic anatomy of the surveyed area and nowadays the most commonly used materials. Then, the stress-strain analysis of the system broken mandible with angular stable fixation was performed. Stress-strain analysis solution was realized by computational modeling, in use of the finite element method in Ansys Workbench 16.2. The work is described in detail the creation of computational model system and its subsequent solutions
