Q
Explain the compression n tension zones of #ed mandible??
A
The upper border (alveolar border) of mand. experiences TENSION while the lower border experiences COMPRESSION…. It’s all due to the MUSCLES… The muscle pull at the upper border distracts the # fragments away from each other… while they bring the segments towards each other at the lower border
** See! — Tension = nothing but ‘Separating the #ed segments’ &
Compression = Bringing them together! Simple!
