The effect of error in determination of muscle force direction on quantitative calculation of the temporomandibular joint reaction force was investigated in a two-dimensional, two-muscle model. A computer program using the model incremented the direction of the temporalis and masseter muscle force v
Previous work has suggested that the third molar lies just in front of the point where the resultant vector of jaw muscle force, estimated from dissections, intersects the tooth row. This point meets the jaw such that the vector is 30% of jaw length from the jaw joint.
