  2. 1. Basement membrane components and their receptors in organogenesis

    Author : Katriina Salmivirta; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Basement membrane; laminin; collagen type IV; nidogen; integrin; morphogenesis; organogenesis; tooth; salivary gland; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : During embryogenesis organs are formed from epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Organogenesis is dependent on interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme. Specialized extracellular matrices, basement membranes, located between the two tissue types play a crucial role in mediating the interactions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Masticatory function and temporomandibular disorders in patients with dentofacial deformities : studies before and after orthodontic and orthognathic treatment

    Author : Cecilia Abrahamsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dentofacial deformities; orthognathic treatment; orthognathic surgery; orthodontics; stomathognathic physiology; temporomandibular disorders; masticatory function;

    Abstract : Ca 30 % av Sveriges befolkning genomgår någon gång i livet behandling med tandreglering. I de fall där bettavvikelsen är mer omfattande är enbart tandreglering inte tillräckligt för att uppnå ett bra bett. Istället kombinerar man tandregleringen med en kirurgisk förflyttning av käkarna s.k. READ MORE

  5. 3. Resilient Appliance Therapy of Temporomandibular Disorders. Subdiagnoses, Sense of Coherence and Treatment Outcome

    Author : Håkan Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stomatognathic physiology; TMD-pain; resilient appliance treatment;

    Abstract : Temporomandibulär dysfunktion (TMD) med käk- och/eller ansiktssmärta,med eller utan nedsatt käkfunktion, är vanligt förekommandetillstånd i befolkningen. Tandpressning och gnissling,som kan vara utlösta på grund av hög psykosocial stress, utgör tillsammanseller parallellt med bland annat käktrauma, orsaksfaktorersom kan ge upphov till TMD-symtom som smärta.

  6. 4. On temporomandibular disorders : Time trends, associated factors, treatment need and treatment outcome

    Author : Alkisti Anastassaki-Köhler; Tomas Magnusson; Yrsa Le Bell; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the last few decades, and especially during the 1990s, an increase in musculoskeletal pain conditions and stress-related ill-health has been observed in Sweden. At the same time, an improvement in the oral health of the population has been noted. READ MORE

  7. 5. Spark plasma sintered ZrO2-SiO2 glass ceramics and Si3N4 bioceramics

    Author : Le Fu; Wei Xia; Håkan Engqvist; Jérôme Chevalier; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ZrO2-SiO2 glass ceramic; high-strength; translucency; 3D nano-architecture; Si3N4 bioceramic; biodegradable; spark plasma sintering; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on elaboration and characterization of two types of bioceramics: one is ZrO2-SiO2 nanocrystalline glass ceramic (NCGC) for dental application. The goal is to develop new ZrO2-SiO2 NCGCs with a combination of high strength and high translucency; the other is biodegradable Si3N4 ceramics for spinal fusion. READ MORE
