title: [Pressure load of the temporomandibular joint--an experimental study].
abstract: In the connection with the pathogenesis and therapy of the diseases of the temporo- mandibulare joint it is of interest, if and in what kind of extent the joint is pressure burden. For examining this problem photoelastic investigations on a lower jaw model were performed. According to the opening angle, burden height and attack point of the burden, pressure strengths of 90-270 N were ascertained on the proc. condylaris , when a pure rotation-movement was performed.
