Analysis and Development of Implant for a Human Mandible

A computational study to build the 3D model of the mandible from DICOM files. The files were imported to the slicer4D software and the model was built by thresholding each slice of the file. Then the model was imported into the Siemens UG-NX software for the convergent modeling, to convert the facets into the single solid model. And Material optimization analysis is done with boundary conditions of hinged supports on the condylar region by using Titanium, PMMA and PEEK. Suggesting the appropriate material for the implant from the analysis by the comparison of the results with the value actual bone and the different materials used.
