Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.

30 Oct 2009 The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...

Effects of preoperative ibuprofen on pain after separator placement.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Many patients experience pain with orthodontics, but there is no widely accepted standard of care for controlling orthodontic pain. Previous studies were inconclusive as to the most effective way to manage orthodontic pain. The purpose ... Read more...

Electromyographic evaluation in children having rapid maxillary expansion.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to analyze the electromyographic activity of the masseter and temporalis muscles of children having rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with a bonded rapid maxillary expansion appliance. METHODS: The sample ... Read more...
