## Abstract The rostrum is a large diameter, thinβwalled tubular structure that receives loads from the teeth. The rostrum can be conceptualized both as a rigid structure and as an assemblage of several bones that interface at sutures. Using miniature pigs, we measured in vivo strains in rostral bo

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief historical review of the field of biomechanics applied to oral implantology. Based on the current status of development, a set of generalized biomechanical requirements are presented covering analytical, experimental and clinical considerations. The current biomechanics status and requirements are then used to derive a three part role for the biomechanics of oral implantology. The expected benefits to be gained from implementing this role are outlined.

Comparative investigations of mandibular function among primates have relied upon elementary structural models to estimate states of masticatory stress and strain. In these studies, mandibular corpus morphology is idealized as a homogeneous, isotropic symmetrical body of invariant geometry, and this
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Carcinoma of the oral cavity is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Tobacco smoking and the consumption of alcoholic beverages are significant risk factors but to the authors' knowledge the role of nutrition is not adequately understood. The authors undertook an epi
