Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mandibular advancement affects gene expression in young rats' mandibular condylar cartilage, focusing on Sdf1 and Foxc1 during a recovery phase.
- Four groups of Wistar rats were used, including a control and experimental group, with methods involving real-time RT-PCR and histological analysis to assess changes during and after the use of the dental appliance.
- Results showed significant changes in genetic expression and cartilage layers, indicating that the mandibular advancement appliances stimulate growth in the cartilage, with persistent changes in gene expression even after removal of the appliances.
