Three-dimensional Surface Changes in the Mandible during Growth and Development
… was to identify 3D topographical changes of the mandible during growth and development of adolescent orthodontic patients. Nine pairs of pre- and post-orthodontic cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were used to generate mandibular surfaces. Surfaces were superimposed on trabecular bone in …

Evolutionary co-option of trap-jaw ant mandible strikes: defensive interactions with antlions
… the genus Odontomachus have a rapid and powerful mandible snap that is used during predation to disable fast or dangerous prey. Previous research suggests that some trap-jaw species may have co-opted the high forces generated by the mandibles for escape: in threatening situations ants direct their …

The Response of Condylar Cartilage Stimulated by a Small Defect in the Rat Mandible
… small bone defect as a local stimulus in the rat mandible, in order to clarify one of the mechanisms of condylar cartilage growth. Fourteen male Wistar albino rats weighing 200 to 260 gm were divided into two groups, with two animals in a pilot study and 12 animals in the experimental group. Five …

Lag screw effect on the biomechanical torsion stability in the I.S.I monocortical mandible angle system
… mandibular angle fractures in polyurethane mandible replicas. A uniquely designed and manufactured jig, incorporated in a Zwick machine, was utilized to apply torsion forces within clinical relevant load values. The load-displacement values for torsion forces was determined and compared for …

The Effects of Red Rooibos Intervention in Combination with Two Different Levels of Dietary Calcium and Vitamin D on Mandible and Maxilla Bone Mineral Density in Ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley Rats
In the ovariectomized (OVX) rat model, the mandible exhibits a loss of trabecular BMD whereas the whole mandible does not exhibit a change in BMD, and there is a paucity of findings for the maxilla. Polyphenols that are naturally found in tea, such as red rooibos (RR) tea, may support bone health. …
