2. 1. Nocturnal enuresis and rapid maxillary expansion : – long-term effect, prognostic variables, respiration during sleep and quality of life

   Author : Ingrid Jönson Ring; Bazargani Farhan; Tryggve Nevéus; Agneta Markström; Maria Ransjö; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Rapid maxillary expansion; nocturnal enuresis; sleep disordered breathing; respiration; polygraphic sleep recording; quality of life.; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Background:The orthodontic technique rapid maxillary expansion (RME) has been reported to have a potentially curative effect on nocturnal enuresis (NE). The mechanism behind this is unknown but could possibly be due to placebo and/or effects on respiration during sleep. READ MORE

4. 2. Correction of unilateral posterior crossbite in the mixed dentition : studies of treatment effects, stability and cost-effectiveness

   Author : Sofia Petrén; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthodontics; evidence-based orthodontics; early treatment; maxillary expansion; crossbite correction;

   Abstract : Enkelsidigt korsbett är en av de vanligaste bettavvikelserna i växel-bettet, dvs. i de åldrar då barnets tänder byts ut från mjölktänder till permanenta tänder. Korsbett innebär att överkäkens och un-derkäkens bredd inte passar ihop när man biter samman käkarna. READ MORE

5. 3. Evaluation of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion and orthodontic treatment : Effects on dental, skeletal and nasal structures and rhinological findings

   Author : Anders Magnusson; Agneta Marcusson; Krister Bjerklin; Peter Nilsson; Torbjörn Ledin; Maria Ransjö; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) is frequently used to treat skeletal maxillary transverse deficiency (MTD) in skeletally mature and non-growing individuals. Despite previous research in the field, questions remain with respect to the long-term stability of SARME and its effects on hard and soft tissue. READ MORE

6. 4. Gene expression during hard tissue formation

   Author : Catharina Ellerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : bone; dentin; mRNA; fibrillar collagens; osteonectin; fibronectin; development; rat;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone and dentin during development. Molecular techniques, such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR, were used to investigate the occurrence of specific gene products in formative cells. READ MORE
