Maxillary expansion in customized finite element method models.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: The aims of this study were to develop a method for constructing a 3-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) of the maxilla and to evaluate the effects of transverse expansion on the status of various midpalatal sutures. METHODS: A ... Read more...

Maxillary protraction with and without maxillary expansion: a finite element analysis of sutural stresses.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: In this finite element study, we compared the stress patterns along the various craniofacial sutures with maxillary protraction with and without expansion. METHODS: Two 3-dimensional analytic models were developed, 1 simulating ... Read more...

Medical treatment of craniosynostosis: recombinant Noggin inhibits coronal suture closure in the rat craniosynostosis model.

30 Jul 2009 INTRODUCTION - The mechanisms underlying craniosynostosis remains unknown. However, mutations in FGFR2 are associated with craniosynostotic syndromes. We previously compared gene expression patterns of patent and synostosing coronal sutures in the ... Read more...
