A biomechanical evaluation of mandibular angle fracture plating techniques.
TL;DR: Under the conditions of this experiment, all systems met or exceeded currently identified postoperative functional requirements for incisal edge loading, but failed to meet them for contralateral molar loading.

Does plate adaptation affect stability? A biomechanical comparison of locking and nonlocking plates.
TL;DR: The degree of adaptation (amount of offset) affected the mechanical behavior of the nonlocking systems evaluated but did not affect the locking systems.

Biomechanics of mandibular reconstruction: a review
TL;DR: This paper reviews the biomechanics of the mandible and the various methods of reconstruction reported in past studies to better understand the selection and placement of osteosynthesis plates.

Comparison of different fixation methods following sagittal split ramus osteotomies using three-dimensional finite elements analysis. Part 1: advancement surgery-posterior loading
TL;DR: It was concluded that the use of 2.0mm lag screws placed in a triangular configuration following the BSSRO advancement surgery provides sufficient stability with any rotational movement and less stress fields at the osteotomy site, when compared with the other rigid fixation methods used in the current study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bite force, occlusal contact area and masticatory efficiency before and after orthognathic surgical correction of mandibular prognathism.
TL;DR: Although all three parameters had improved after orthognathic surgery, the bite force and occlusal contact area did not reach the values of the controls within 2 years postoperatively; masticatory efficiency at 2 years after surgery drew near to control levels.
