Bone Structure

Bone Structure

Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

Bone Remodeling

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) implants can treat gummy smile (GS) by supporting the upper lip and filling maxillary depressions. Using 3D-printed models for surgical planning minimizes complications, leading to effective GS management.

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Dental Aesthetics
Biomaterials Science

Background:

Gummy smile (GS) treatment sometimes involves polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based implants, particularly for lip support deficiency due to maxillary anterior process depression.

Keywords:

3D print biovolume bone cement polymethyl methacrylate
