Development of a three-dimensional model of temporal and mandibular joint to mapping the operation of the skeletal-churved apparatus for effective commercialisation of results in prosthetics, orthodontics and orthognatic surgery
The subject of the project is the development of a three-dimensional digital model of temporal and mandibular joint (SSŻ) with the determination of geometry and motion parameters for skeletal-churved structures, enriched with the deformity of these structures. The project will examine the movement of the mandible, taking into account the behaviour of the joint disc, using a set of sensors, CBCT (conical beam tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance imaging) and determined characteristics of mechanical properties of bones and muscles. On the basis of these studies, numerical models of rigid skull and mandible bases and complete numerical analyses will be carried out to map the actual movements of the patients’ stomatognatic system. This will allow the determination of the circumference of the knuckle movement of the joint s-that at the level of each patient individually. The results of the research will be verified and validated and used to develop a prototype of a new technology in the world for use in prosthetics, orthodontics and orthognatic surgery for the manufacture of medical products (including the provision of services) personalised for use mainly in the treatment of civilisation diseases.
