¡¾Recent highlights¡¿
The recent study was to investigate the changes in tongue-palatal contact patterns using electropalatography (EPG) before and after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) in patients with mandibular prognathism.
The effect of a compressive force on bone metabolism in the expression of cytokine is also improved.
