The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of stress distributions in the
craniofacial sutures produced by orthopaedic maxillary protraction forces applied to the …

INTRODUCTION: In this finite element study, we compared the stress patterns along the
various craniofacial sutures with maxillary protraction with and without expansion …

This study was designed to investigate biomechanical responses of the sutures in the
nasomaxillary complex to orthopedic headgear forces applied in various directions. A three …

This study was designed to investigate the biomechanical effect of protractive maxillary
orthopedic forces on the craniofacial complex by use of the three-dimensional finite element …

Objective: The goal of the study was to examine the strain in the sutures of the midface and
the cranial base with maxillary protraction therapy and to clarify whether such stretching …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of directions of extraoral maxillary
protraction forces on biomechanical changes in the craniofacial complex, using the three …

The present study was conducted to investigate stress distributions in the maxillary complex
from headgear forces by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis. A posteriorly …

The aims of this study were to determine the reaction of the craniofacial bones on the
protraction force transferred to the maxillary body, and whether or not the midpalatal suture …

The present study was designed to investigate biomechanical and clinical changes in the
craniofacial complex resulting from orthopedic maxillary protraction by means of finite …

Introduction: Our aim in this study was to investigate the stresses in the midface and at the
cranial base during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion, to determine whether …
