生物机械应力对下颌髁突适应性改建的影响

The research progress of adaptive growth remodeling of mandibular condyle to biomechanical force

髁突作为面部重要的生长发育区,其生长改建直接影响下颌的形态和功能。覆盖于下颌髁突关节表面的纤维软骨,是髁突保持终生改建能力的基础,直接反映生物机械应力对髁突的影响。因此,在颅面生长发育和功能矫形研究方面,髁突软骨一直是正畸学者们关注的热点。下面就近年来生物机械应力影响下颌髁突适应性改建的研究现状作一综述。

The mandibular condyle, which influences directly the morphology and function of mandible, is one of the major growth and development sites of the face. The condylar cartilage which covers on the surface of the temporomandibular joint is the fundament for keeping remodeling when biomechanical force is applied on it. The condylar chondrocyte is constantly the focus in craniofacial development and functional orthopedic researches. This is a review of the recent research progress in adaptive remodeling of mandibular condyle to biomechanical force.
