Dental imaging centers.

Dedicated dental imaging centers have been providing valuable imaging services to the dental community for many years. The centers feature specialized and sophisticated imaging equipment and highly trained personnel and provide photographic and radiographic services for the community. This article discusses selected sophisticated imaging equipment found in dental imaging centers and discusses current and anticipated future services provided by the centers. These future services include the construction of patient-specific interactive three-dimensional models to be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment simulations, communication, and evaluation of treatment outcomes.

A three-dimensional investigation of temporomandibular joint loading.

A mathematical model of the muscle groups applied to the human mandible is developed to study the forces developed on the condyles during maximum unilateral occlusion. The results show that the reaction forces are in approximately a 2:1 ratio with the balancing side condyle carrying the greater load. Furthermore, the direction in which these condylar reactions occur is presented.
