Biomechanical approach to dental orthopedic treatment of patients with postoperative defect of the upper jaw

Abstract

Replacement of postoperative maxillary defect of oncological origin in patients with complete absence of teeth is a difficult task. Based on the results of mechanical tests of structural materials and computer simulation of the biomechanics of the jaw prosthesis-obturator, the authors created improved obturator designs with specified design characteristics, which ensured the effectiveness of dental orthopedic treatment of this category of patients.
