Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to observe changes in MyHC-I expression in the masseter muscle of Beagle dogs receiving functional appliance therapy and to investigate muscular adaptation.
- Eight male Beagle dogs were divided into experimental and control groups, with samples taken at various treatment intervals and analyzed for MyHC-I expression using statistical software.
- Results indicated a significant increase in MyHC-I expression in the experimental group at 4 weeks, peaking at 8 weeks, before leveling off after 16 weeks, suggesting that functional appliances can enhance muscle remodeling in the masticatory system.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated facial skeletal growth and responses to different functional appliance therapies in Beagle dogs using 3D imaging techniques.
- Eleven male Beagle dogs were divided into four groups and underwent treatment with various appliances, followed by digital imaging to assess changes in the facial skeleton and teeth at different time points.
- Results showed that the implanted functional appliance significantly promoted mandibular growth while minimizing unwanted tooth movement compared to other methods.
