Alveolar bone is a unique osseous tissue due to the proximity of dental plaque biofilms.
Periodontal health and homeostasis are mediated by a balanced host immune response to …

Experimental studies and mathematical models are disparate approaches for inferring the
stress and strain environment in mammalian jaws. Experimental designs offer accurate …

Alveolar bone is the thickened ridge of jaw bone that supports teeth. It is subject to constant
occlusal force and pathogens invasion, and is therefore under active bone remodeling and …

Although fundamentally similar to other bones, the jaws demonstrate discrete responses to
developmental, mechanical, and homeostatic regulatory signals. Here, we hypothesized that …

To accommodate functional demands, the composition and organization of the skeleton
differ among species. Microcomputed tomography has improved our ability markedly to …

Many primates habitually feed on tree exudates such as gums and saps. Among these
exudate feeders, Cebuella pygmaea, Callithrix spp., Phaner furcifer, and most likely …

Crucial to the interpretation of the results of any finite element analysis of a skeletal system is
a test of the validity of the results and an assessment of the sensitivity of the model …

Can a bimanual activity such as thrusting a spear during hunting produce bilateral
asymmetries in the strength of the upper limbs? This question is important to arguments …

Orthodontic tooth movement occurs as a result of resorption and formation of the alveolar
bone due to an applied load, but the stimulus responsible for triggering orthodontic tooth …

A common feature of studies of mandibular morphology is the assumption that there is some
functional relation between the form of the lower jaw and masticatory stress. It was noted that …
