A model of skull growth and formation of cranial sutures in the framework of the functional matrix theory against a factor that is traumatic/ alters muscle biomechanics. A pilot study

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of mechanical loading of masticatory muscles with a continuous stretch stimulus in the direction of increasing the width / stretching / sagittal suture of an experimental animal in vivo. The technique is described, and the data of objective instrumental control, as well as the results generated by statistical processing, are presented.
