Osteoporosis modelling and alveolar bone dynamics encompass the investigation of skeletal fragility and the specific behaviour of jawbone under systemic and local influences. Computational and ...

Alveolar bone assessment is central to safe and effective orthodontic treatment, as the thickness, height and integrity of the alveolar ridge determine the limits of tooth movement and influence ...

Human evolution is generally explained through changes in brain size, locomotion or tool use, but new research from Wits ...

It is becoming increasingly clear that the human microbiome – the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on and within us – significantly contributes to our health. Indeed, several recent ...

The distance between the nose and chin (VDO) decreases with tooth wear, causing a compressed, aged facial appearance. When teeth are lost, the jawbone eventually recedes; dental implants can help ...
