2. Masticatory retraining effect on masseter muscle, facial morphology and alveolar bone structure in the adult rat
Abstract : The aim of this series of investigations was to study the effect of masticatory muscle retraining in adult rats with an earlier reduced masticatory muscle function on the craniofacial morphology, on the internal alveolar bone structure and on the deep masseter muscle. Material and Methods: Sixty young male rats received soft diet for a prolonged period, so that the animals developed weak masticatory muscles. READ MORE

5. Sleep Disordered Breathing and Orofacial Morphology in Relation to Adenotonsillar Surgery : Development from 4-12 Years in a Community Based Cohort
Abstract : Objective: To follow a cohort of children from age 4-6-12 with respect to sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and orofacial development. Questionnaires were completed about sleep, snoring, apneas, enuresis, sucking habits, and adenotonsillar surgery and, from age 12, about allergies, asthma, and general health. READ MORE
