A mechanobiological model of bone growth aimed for the design of medical devices for the treatment of limb deformities during childhood and adolescence was developed. Dimensional analysis was introduced as a tool for the ...

Tissue mechanobiology is an emerging field with the overarching goal of understanding the interplay between biophysical and biochemical responses affecting development, physiology, and disease. Changes in mechanical ...

Moving boundaries and interfaces are commonly encountered in fluid flow simulations. For instance, fluid-structure interaction simulations require the formulation of the problem in moving domains, making the mesh distortion ...

Objective: The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the maxillary alveolar bone morphology, bone architecture, and bone turnover in relation to the mechanical strain distribution in rats with dental premature contact. ...

A expansão maxilar é um procedimento ortodôntico usado para tratar a deficiência transversal maxilar. Este procedimento aumenta a medida transversal da maxila aproveitando a presença do tecido fibroso que une as duas porções ...
