Three-dimensional orthodontic force measurements.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Until recently, much of the orthodontic biomechanics literature was restricted to 2-dimensional experimental studies and, more recently, to assumption-based 3-dimensional computer modeling. There is little evidence in the literature ... Read more...

Changes in the mechanical properties of human quadriceps muscle after eccentric exercise.

30 Aug 2009 Muscular adaptation which occurs following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage has been associated with changes in the mechanical properties of muscle manifested as a shift in the length-tension relationship towards longer muscle lengths. ... Read more...

Effects of titanium surface topography on bone integration: a systematic review.

30 Aug 2009 AIM: To analyse possible effects of titanium surface topography on bone integration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our analyses were centred on a PubMed search that identified 1184 publications of assumed relevance; of those, 1064 had to be disregarded ... Read more...
