ABSTRACT:
A structural model of the human craniomandibular system, comprises a cranium part, a flexible column formed by a plurality of vertebra parts interconnected by at least two elastic bands and by universal couplings, the top vertebra part rotatably supporting the cranium part. The cranium part is provided in opposite side faces thereof with cavities serving as bearing surfaces. A mandible part has top faces adapted to cooperate with said bearing surfaces and form a joint for movement of the mandible part, according to several degrees of freedom. Further, there are provided a hyoid part, a sternum part (41), a pair of clavicle parts coupled with said sternum part by universal couplings as well as a pair of scapula parts coupled with a respective clavicle part by universal couplings, the aforementioned parts being interconnected by a plurality of resilient members, arranged in pairs, which simulate the muscle functions.
