Study on a Gripping Biomechanism Represented by the Human Dento-Maxillary Apparatus

Abstract

In this paper presents the gripping biomechanism of the dento-maxillary apparatus. Here are some important studies conducted worldwide on the structure, kinematics and dynamics of biomechanism. In the paper the authors present their experimental research conducted to determine the movements made by the biomechanism. Using data obtained from video films, and radiographs we identified in detail the permitted movements of temporomandibular joint. The kinematic equivalent diagram of mechanism was established. The kinematic calculations performed but not presented due to lack of space in the paper showed that the mechanism is optimal for the required movements.
