Orthognathic biomechanical simulation

A method of simulating mastication, the method comprising:

• obtaining a computer-readable three-dimensional representation of an osseointegrative implant comprising a portion of at least one of a mandible and a maxilla;
• obtaining a computer readable three-dimensional representation of a recipient skeletal fragment comprising a portion of at least one of a mandible and a maxilla;
• obtaining placement data representing a position of at least a portion of the osseointegrative implant relative to at least a portion of the recipient skeletal fragment;
• obtaining muscle insertion data representing at least one muscle insertion location on at least one of the osseointegrative implant and the recipient skeletal fragment;
• simulating a contraction of a muscle positioned according to the muscle insertion data in a representation of a surgical hybrid comprising at least a portion of the osseointegrative implant positioned according to the placement data relative to at least a portion of the recipient skeletal fragment;
• and
• outputting a representation of mastication represented by the simulating.

A system for simulating mastication, the system comprising at least one electronic memory and at least one electronic processor, the at least one electronic memory including instructions which, when executed by the at least one electronic processor, cause the at least one electronic processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining a computer-readable three-dimensional representation of a first skeletal fragment comprising a portion of at least one of a mandible and a maxilla;
• obtaining a computer readable three-dimensional representation of a recipient skeletal fragment comprising a portion of at least one of a mandible and a maxilla;
• obtaining placement data representing a position of at least a portion of the first skeletal fragment relative to at least a portion of the recipient skeletal fragment;
• obtaining muscle insertion data representing at least one muscle insertion location on at least one of the first skeletal fragment and the recipient skeletal fragment;
• simulating a contraction of a muscle positioned according to the muscle insertion data in a representation of a surgical hybrid comprising at least a portion of the first skeletal fragment positioned according to the placement data relative to at least a portion of the recipient skeletal fragment;
• and
• outputting a representation of mastication represented by the simulating.
