Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop 3-demensional simulation code based on age-dependent bone density. During 3years of study periods, constructing of the simulation model, refining of individual analytical parameters and comparison between the measured CT data were carried out in consistently. Reviewing consistency between subjects CT data and the simulation model, correlation between the actual bone geometry and analytical bone geometry was observed. The results of this study is intended to the effectiveness of predictive simulation of bone remodeling in the mandible. Moreover, these results contribute to the diagnostic prediction in treatment with dental prosthesis.
