Mandible movement (biting, chewing, clenching, grinding)
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 10:28 am
Hi,
I tried to go through the forum as well as the project’s pages carefully, but I haven’t found much about modeling the motion of the mandible. Am I right, or I missed something somewhere?
If there is no functional model of the skull-jaw connection, I need to connect these two bodies (create appropriate joint) and add appropriate muscles (to begin with: the m.maseter, m. temporalis and probably m.pterygoid). That is it?
