The number of finite elements, volumes, as well as the physical properties assigned to each tissue type in the finite element model used in this study.

Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio for each tissue modelled was taken from the literature including for enamel, dentine, cancellous bone [53], [63], Condylar Elastic Support [66], and dental pulp [65]. Cortical bone and lamina dura were assumed to have the identical properties [53], [63], as were the periodontal ligament and dental follicle [64].

本次建模所涉及的每种组织的杨氏模量（Young’s modulus）与泊松比（Poisson’s ratio）均取自已发表文献，涵盖牙釉质（enamel）、牙本质（dentine）、松质骨（cancellous bone）[53,63]、髁突弹性支撑（Condylar Elastic Support）[66]以及牙髓（dental pulp）[65]。研究假设皮质骨（Cortical bone）与硬板（lamina dura）具有相同的力学特性[53,63]，牙周膜（periodontal ligament）与牙囊（dental follicle）亦是如此[64]。
