Microscopic and Geometric Changes in the Mandibular Condylar Head in Response to Subtle Secondary Overload: In Search of a Mechanical Origin of Condylar Hyperplasia

In condylar hyperplasia (CH), one of the condylar processes of the mandible (CPs) grows more than its counterpart, leading to facial asymmetry. Using a mouse model of asymmetric masticatory loading, we investigated a possible mechanical origin of CH by evaluating the association between morphometric...
