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. The possibility to modify muscle influence in the phase of facial development, or in postoperative of corrective surgery is of great preventive importance and it should be better investigated, since it could reduce the number and impact of these procedures.

Study Design: experimental in rabbits.
