The aim of the study was to evaluate the interrelationships between parameters assessed with the use of a computed tomography technique and mechanical properties of the tibia in male turkeys at different stages of skeletal development. Healthy male turkeys (N = 120) were kept under standard rearing conditions and randomly selected from the farm flock at the age of 4, 8, 12, and 20 weeks of life...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mechanical strain by mapping physicochemical properties at periodontal ligament (PDL)-bone and PDL-cementum attachment sites and within the tissues per se. DESIGN Accentuated mechanical strain was induced by applying a unidirectional force of 0.06N for 14 days on molars in a rat model. The associated changes in functional ...
