Experimental study on the influence of facial muscle activity on the facial mesostructure bones in rabbits.

Unlabelled: Based on the functional matrix concept, scientists developed the hypothesis that soft tissue acting on certain bone pieces determines the process of facial growth.

Study Design: experimental in rabbits.
