New horizons in orthodontics.

Remodeling the dentofacial skeleton: the biological basis of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

Orthodontic tooth movement is dependent upon the remodeling of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone by mechanical means. Facial sutures are also fibrous articulations, and by remodeling these joints, one can alter the positional relationships of the bones of the facial skeleton. As might be expected from the structure and mobility of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), this articulation is...

Remodeling the Dentofacial Skeleton : The Biological Basis of Orthodontics and Dentofacial

NEW HORIZONS New horizons in osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis worldwide and rapidly increasing with ageing populations. It is a major source of pain and disability for individuals and economic burden for health economies. Modern imaging, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has helped us to understand that OA is a dynamic remodelling process involving all the structures within the joint. ...
