Experimental validation of finite element simulation of a new custom-designed fixation plate to treat mandibular angle fracture

Abstract Background The objective of the study was to validate biomechanical characteristics of a 3D-printed, novel-designated fixation plate for treating mandibular angle fracture, and compare it with two commonly used fixation plates by finite element (FE) simulations and experimental testing. Met...
