An anatomic photoelastic model of a human skull was constructed with the use of individual
simulants for teeth, bone, and periodontal ligaments. The following effects of extraoral chin …

INTRODUCTION: Early Class III treatment with reverse-pull headgear generally results in
maxillary skeletal protraction but is frequently also accompanied by unfavorable …

The present study is an in vitro study of chincup therapy. The purpose of the study was to
investigate the localization and distribution of stress induced by the head-chincup appliance …

Introduction The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of rapid palatal expansion on
the craniofacial skeleton of a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to predict …

The aim of this study was to analyse the distribution of the stress on dental and periodontal
structures when a simple tipping dental movement or torque movement is produced. A …

An experiment, in the beagle dog model, was undertaken to determine whether it is possible
to move a maxillary central incisor orthodontically across the midpalatal suture area, and …

The completely osteotomized dentomaxillary complex is essentially a free body constrained
only by its soft tissue attachments. Therefore the line of action and point of application of any …

T he sutures of the skull have been convincingly demonstrated to be sites of skeletal growth.
Remodeling apposition and resorption, which are necessary for the preservation of the over …

Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is a common treatment to correct
transverse maxillary deficiencies. Finite element analysis was simulated for six designs of …

Objective: To identify and qualify the scientific evidence on the immediate and long-term
effects of rapid maxillary expansion on the midpalatal suture in growing teenage or young …
