The prevalence of prosthodontic treatment has been well recognized, and the need is
continuously increasing with the ageing population. While the oral mucosa plays a critical …

Finite element (FE) analysis has emerged as the primary tool to investigate complex
problems that are difficult to test clinically on living tissues, yielding valuable but not …

Excessive forces may cause root resorption and insufficient forces would introduce no effect
in orthodontics. The objective of this study was to investigate the optimal orthodontic forces …

The bone-periodontal ligament-tooth (BPT) complex is a unique mechanosensing soft-/hard-
tissue interface, which governs the most rapid bony homeostasis in the body responding to …

With ever-growing aging population and demand for denture treatments, pressure-induced
mucosa lesion and residual ridge resorption remain main sources of clinical complications …

Objectives This paper aimed to precisely locate centres of resistance (CRe) of maxillary
teeth and investigate optimal orthodontic force by identifying the effective zones of …

Orthodontic tooth movement occurs as a result of resorption and formation of the alveolar
bone due to an applied load, but the stimulus responsible for triggering orthodontic tooth …

When mammalian teeth breakdown food, several juxtaposed dental tissues work
mechanically together, while balancing requirements of food comminution and avoiding …

Purpose This study combines clinical investigation with finite element (FE) analysis to
explore the effects of buccal bone thickness (BBT) on the morphological changes of buccal …

Introduction: Open gingival embrasure (OGE) is a common complication in adults following
clear aligner therapy and the influence of gingival or alveolar bone biotype on OGE is of …
