A new periodontal membrane biology based upon thixotropic concepts
American Journal of Orthodontics
|May 1, 1980
Abstract:
The biology of the periodontal membrane is not completely understood, and tissue changes associated with orthodontic tooth movement are assumed to be the result of a recoverable pathologic process. The response of this tissue to dynamic loading may, however, be explained by changes in viscosity of the collagenous matrix.
