Figure 2

Magnitude and orientation of peak principal strains on the mandibular corpus during mastication. Solid lines represent right (osteotomy) side chews and dashed lines represent left side chews. Outward directed arrows depict principal tensile strain, and inward directed arrows depict principal compressive strain. The asterisks indicate significant differences (p<0.05) in strain magnitude of right and left chews based on a paired t-test (data in Table 1). No differences were found in strain orientation.
