Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 Regulates Nasal Cartilage Properties Under Physiological And Pathological Conditions
DownloadFall 2021
Background: The nasal septum is a cartilaginous structure that provides critical structural and growth support for the midface. Nasal septum deviation (NSD) is a relatively frequent abnormality, which can be associated with nasal airway obstruction and disordered breathing in children. Although...

Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Mandibular Bone Mass as Assessed Through Panoramic Radiographs
DownloadFall 2017
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and low bone mass (i.e., osteoporosis) are common conditions affecting the adult population with an estimated prevalence of around 15%. Recent studies have assessed a potential association between SDB and reduction in bone mass in adult population. Nevertheless...
