Morphometric evaluation of condylar cartilage of growing rats in response to mandibular retractive forces

Abstract

Posteriorly repositioning the mandible produced a series of histological and morphological responses in the condyle, suggesting condylar and mandibular adaptation in rats.

Three-Dimensional Geometric Morphometry of Facial Soft Tissue Changes After Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy

“…Whereas Toma et al 24 Geometric morphometry has also been applied to evaluate treatment outcomes in orthodontics. Nogueira et al 27 assessed the morphological changes in condylar cartilage following mandibular retractive force in growing rats. Neha 14 demonstrated the efficacy of morphometry as a proper orthodontic assessment of patients with regard to craniofacial morphology and diagnosis, and hence treatment planning.…”
