Abstract
Four types of 3D mathematical mode of the muscle groups applied to the human mandible have been developed. One is based on electromyography (EMG) and the others are based on linear programming with different objective function. Each model contains 26 muscle forces and two joint forces, allowing simulation of static bite forces and concomitant joint reaction forces for various bite point locations and mandibular positions. In this paper, the method of image processing to measure the position and direction of muscle forces according to 3D CAD model was built with CT data. Matlab optimization toolbox is applied to solve the three modes based on linear programming. Results show that the model with an objective function requiring a minimum sum of the tensions in the muscles is reasonable and agrees very well with the normal physiology activity.
