Sažetak
A new biomechanical thre-dimensional (3D) model for the human mandible based on computer-generated virtual model is proposed. Using maps obtained from the special kinds of photos of the face of the real subject, it is possible to attribute personality to the virtual character, while computer animation offers movements and characteristics within the confines of space and time of the virtual world. A simple twodimensional model of the jaw cannot explain the biomechanics, where the muscular forces through occlusion and condylar surfaces are in the state of 3D equilibrium. In the model all forces are resolved into components according to a selected coordinate system. The muscular forces act on the jaw, along with the necessary force level for chewing as some kind of mandible balance, preventing dislocation and loading of nonarticular tissues. In the work is used S, Baksa new approach to computer- generated animation of virtual 3D characters (called "BodySABA"), using in one object package of minimal costs and easy for operation.
