Abstract: Natural bone is an essential biomaterial includes collagen fibers, Hydroxyapatite nano crystals and proteoglycans in nano scale. Engineering design of artificial mandible is challenging processes due to complicated geometrical shape and dimensions of structure. Artificial mandible should be similar and close to the shape and function of the original human mandible. Modern improvements in biomaterials and computational technology made advances and developments in computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology with the help of other technologies such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), finite element analysis (FEA). Artificial mandible can now be designed, analyzed, and manufactured easily, accurately and faster to satisfy the patient needs. This paper reviews and discusses the important processes and limitations of 3D-design and analysis for artificial mandible using CAD, CBCT image processing and FEA techniques. Inorder to understanding and insure how the mechanical design and computer aided design with computer aided manufacturing technologies are used for optimal design and analyses. Moreover, how the combination of the modern technologies leads to improvement and enhancement in the subject area of mandible bone replacement.
