    ObjectiveTo analyze the biomechanics of impact injury in the condition of the simulate impact on mandible.MethodsA finite element model of human mandible was developed from the CT scan images by the technologies of three-dimensional reconstruction, image processing and meshing. The mandible model was connected to a modified head model of HYBRID III dummy with joint according to the anatomic structure and mechanical characteristics of the temporomandibular joint.ResultsA finite element model of human head with true anatomic structure mandible has been developed. This model has been validated with the cadaver test results. The higher stress was showed in the condyle rejoins and coracoid in the model when mandible was in impact simulation.ConclusionsThis model can be used to research the mechanism of craniofacial blunt-impact injury and assess the injury severity. The model of HYBRID III dummy with the human mandible was helpful for the boundary design of mandibular model in the impact simulations.
