Özet

In this study, an animal biomechanical study was performed to investigate the absorbed energy and impact strength of the mandible in relation to specimen position. Four regions of mandibles were loaded as complete pieces and gripped by the jaw of an Izod impact tester. All tests were carried out wet using the Izod impact test under two different impact loading directions, lateral and ventral.
