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].
