Distribution of stress on TMJ disc induced by use of chincup therapy: assessment by the finite element method

OBJECTIVE: To assess the distribution of stress produced on TMJ disc by chincup therapy, by means of the finite element method. METHODS: a simplified three-dimensional TMJ disc model was developed by using Rhinoceros 3D software, and exported to ANSYS software. A 4.9N load was applied on the inferio...
