Abstract
This research is a continuation of our previous study on temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The aim of the research is to investigate the mechanical behaviour of the TMJ, in response to kinematics/cyclical loading caused through actions of speech and mastication. A set of in-vitro experimental tests have been performed on a fresh sheep jaw bone to examine the hypothesis of the study. The study was concluded that the amount of loading is effective on the displacement of the TMJ.
