The importance of elevated masticatory forces on the stability of maxillary expansion [PDF]
Journal of Dentofacial Anomalies and Orthodontics, 2015 What have our young patients eaten in the past 24 hours? Probably cooked, prepared, or even finely chopped foods, that require limited masticatory action compared to what our craniofacial muscles are used to.The impact of masticatory hypofunctioning on craniofacial muscle development has been discussed in paleoanthropology studies and experimental ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies osteocyte‐derived FGF9 as a mechanosensitive factor that impairs osteogenesis in the underdeveloped maxilla by inducing FGFR2 nuclear translocation in preosteoblasts. Mechanical stimulation reduces FGF9 secretion, relieving its inhibitory effect. These findings reveal a novel osteocyte–preosteoblast FGF9–FGFR2 axis in craniofacial
