🦷 We saw that implants that mimic natural root morphology demonstrated more favourable stress distribution.
🦷 Standard single-root implants may lead to poor load distribution and increased failure risk in posterior locations.

👩⚕️ Working directly with surgeons, this project will provide clinically relevant information to prevent failure of jaw implants and improve patient outcomes following head & neck #cancer.
We will use #CT scanning 🩻 #biomechanics and modelling #FEA

With the high detail from the scans, we can reconstruct the muscles in 3D to learn more about their function and how flight evolved in bats

Marsupial megafauna might be an extreme example, but we don’t really know 🤷♀️ so I’ve been thinking about the relationship between cranial sinuses, brain size, skull shape, and jaw muscles for a long time 👀😬

My PhD was on the cranial sinuses of the largest ever marsupial, Diprotodon - literally airheads. Blue in these figures are sinuses and pink is the brain - the bigger an animal gets, the more of an airhead they become 🤔😅
