N2 - In this study use of the finite element method in biomechanics, and an explanation of basicsteps of preparing a FEM model of a mandible, a discussion of the validity of results is the objective. Acomputer FEM model of a mandible is prepared from a real human mandible and stress analysis wasconducted. For this purpose CT sections of the mandible of a 22 year old male was obtained and theimages were scanned and transferred to the computer. In the study the steps of preparing a FEM modelof a human skeleton is explained in detail. By using them a 3 D model of the mandible prepared. One ofthe models is prepared with solid elements; the other is prepared with shell elements. The same loadingswere applied to both of them. The results are compared and it is concluded that there is no importantdifferences between them.
