Pus and free bone flaps.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The goal of this investigation is to describe the results of a vigorous attempt to preserve contaminated free bone flaps and avoid the problems associated with the traditional and common practice of discarding the flap, administering 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...

Tgfbr2 is required for development of the skull vault.

19 Aug 2009 Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is known to play important roles in multiple developmental processes. One of the main functions is in skeletal development. Our previous studies demonstrated that loss of Tgfbr2 in Prx1Cre-expressing limb ... Read more...
