The mandible was oriented making horizontal the line linking the anterior and most posterior part of the tooth row at alveolar level. Landmarks: 1) ventral part of the jaw at the most anterior part of the tooth row, 2) most anterior part of the tooth row at alveolar level, 3) the middle of the tooth row located at alveolar level, 4) drawing a vertical line from the point 3, the point where this line intersects with the ventral part of the mandible, 5) most posterior point of the tooth row at alveolar level, 6) drawing a vertical line from the point 5, the point where this line intersects with the ventral part of the mandible, 7) tracing a line at an angle at 45° from the horizontal, the point where this line intersects with the outer part of the mandibular angle, 8) situated at the upper part of the mandible corpus, where there is an upward shift due to the ascending ramus, 9) tracing an horizontal line that goes trough the point five, the middle point between 5 and the external part of the mandibular ramus, and 10) located between the landmark 5 and the upper part of the coronoid process. The muscle forces were applied in the masseter and the temporalis in directions appropriate for the relative direction of force during chewing. Drawing of Chaetophractus villosus mandible.
