چکیده :

Accurate assessment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) biomechanics requires patient-specific models that capture anatomical variability with high fidelity. This study presents an AI-assisted method for biomechanical modeling and stress analysis of the TMJ, integrating deep learning–based segmentation and 3D reconstruction from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT scans are processed using a pretrained UNET-R network, fine-tuned with a small dataset to segment the mandible, maxilla, and temporal bone. The segmented geometries are reconstructed into 3D models, converted into volumetric finite element (FE) meshes, and combined with a modeled TMJ disc representing the soft tissue between the mandibular condyle and maxilla. The FE model is then subjected to simulated incisal and unilateral molar loading to estimate stress distribution within the disc. The proposed method enables rapid and reproducible generation of patient-specific TMJ biomechanical models, reducing manual segmentation effort and computational cost while preserving clinical accuracy. This approach demonstrates strong potential for personalized diagnosis, treatment planning, and biomechanical research on TMJ disorders.
