Application of Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping for Reconstruction of Human Mandible [PDF]
Reconstruction of the mandible is one of the most common challenges facing maxillofacial surgeons. The mandible plays a major role in supporting the teeth inside the mouth. This work aims to develop a proposed methodology for improving reconstructive surgery by using the simulation of a mandibular defect using imaging, design, and fabrication ...

Come together over me: Cells that form the dermatocranium and chondrocranium in mice
Abstract Most bone develops either by intramembranous ossification where bone forms within a soft connective tissue, or by endochondral ossification by way of a cartilage anlagen or model. Bones of the skull can form endochondrally or intramembranously or represent a combination of the two types of ossification.

Embryonic cranial cartilage defects in the Fgfr3Y367C/+ mouse model of achondroplasia
Abstract Achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia in humans, is caused by one of two gain of function mutations localized in the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) leading to constitutive activation of FGFR3 and subsequent growth plate cartilage and bone defects.

An open-source, three-dimensional growth model of the mandible [PDF]
The available reference data for the mandible and mandibular growth consists primarily of two-dimensional linear or angular measurements. The aim of this study was to create the first open-source, three-dimensional statistical shape model of the mandible that spans the complete growth period. Computed tomography scans of 678 mandibles from children and

A multi-patient analysis of the center of rotation trajectories using finite element models of the human mandible [PDF]
Studying different types of tooth movements can help us to better understand the force systems used for tooth position correction in orthodontic treatments. This study considers a more realistic force system in tooth movement modeling across different patients and investigates the effect of the couple force direction on the position of the center of ...
