Stress-Strain Analyses of the Jaws with Multiple Keratocysts before and after Surgery
Abstrakt
An odontogenic keratocyst was detected and treated in the lower jaw. A 3D reconstruction from a CT scan was made before surgery and 15 months later. The healing process was monitored using stress-strain analyses of the mandible with a system of keratocysts and by comparing them with the analogous data of stress-strain analyses of the patients mandible after the surgical extirpation of the cysts.
