Lateral and dorsal finite element models: Contour mapping of Von Mises (VM) stress distributions in lateral view. Models were subjected to loading cases simulating a bilateral anterior bite (A,C,E,G,I,K), and a unilateral anterior bite (B,D,F,H,J,L). Models are for Niata (A,B,G,H), Simmentaler (C,D,I,J) and Zebu (E,F,K,L). Muscle forces were scaled to body mass for each model. White regions exceed the scale.
