Abstract
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.Entities:
