Load distribution after unilateral condylar fracture with shortening of the ramus: a finite element model study

Load distribution after unilateral condylar fracture with shortening of the ramus: a finite element model study

Abstract Objectives After a fracture of the condyle, the fractured ramus is often shortened, which causes premature dental contact on the fractured side and a contralateral open bite. The imbalance could change the load in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). This change could lead to remodelling of...
