Experiments with unilateral bite planes in rabbits.

H G Sergl, M Farmland

    The Angle Orthodontist
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Masticatory functional loading influences facial skeleton growth. Bite planes induced changes that rabbits adapted to over nine weeks, demonstrating the regulation of skeletal development by functional forces.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Craniofacial Biology
    • Dental Adaptation

    Background:

    • The masticatory system's response to altered occlusal loads is complex.
    • Understanding adaptive mechanisms is crucial for craniofacial development research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of induced occlusal changes on the masticatory system.
    • To explore the adaptation processes and their impact on craniofacial growth.

    Main Methods:

    • Insertion of bite planes on the right mandibular lateral teeth in young rabbits.
    • Control group of eight rabbits without bite planes.
    • Nine-week experimental period to observe adaptation processes.

    Main Results:

    • Initial load changes in the masticatory system were observed.
    • Complete equilibration of induced changes occurred within nine weeks.
    • Adaptation involved changes in the alveolar region and distant growth structures, including cranial scolioses.

    Conclusions:

    • The masticatory system demonstrates significant adaptive capacity to altered functional loading.
    • Masticatory functional loading is a key regulatory factor in facial skeleton growth.
    • Adaptation involves multiple mechanisms affecting both local and distant skeletal regions.
