Abstract：To provide a efficient finite element model which can investigate the stress distribution of the mandible with temporomandibular joint.Using Mimics 10.0 to get the finite element model with the original CT data of the mandible,the CAE software ABAQUS 6.10.1 was used to carry out Finite Element Analysis.We got a model with all the part instance of the mandible, and also got the stress distribution of the model under posterior clenching state.It seems that in the articular disc,the highest average stress locates in the medial zone,and the lowest stress occurs in the anterior zone of the disc,and the stress in the top surface of the disc is higher than the bottom surface of the disc.
