There are three major accomplishments resulting from this project that significantly advance the field of TMJ biomechanics and will form the basis of a new research project. First, we have developed a high-fidelity, anatomically accurate, finite-element model of TMJ mechanics that is governed by the internal generation of muscle forces to achieve a specific functional goal (such as chewing), paralleling how functional joint motion is produced in vivo (Figure 1).
