Collagen I and II mRNA distribution in the rat temporomandibular joint region during growthV Visnapuu
Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Finland
J Craniofac Genet Dev Biol 20:144-9. 2000..This differs from the long bone epiphyseal plate, where this type of collagen is produced virtually throughout the cartilage. Type II collagen synthesis of the fossal cartilage seems to increase as a function of age...- Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I receptors in the temporomandibular joint of the ratV Visnapuu
Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Finland
J Dent Res 80:1903-7. 2001..It is evident that the expression of GH and IGF-I receptors is area-specific in the TMJ. Early post-natal growth and development of the mandibular condylar cartilage seem to be IGF-I-dependent but not directly dependent on GH... - Distribution of fibroblast growth factors (FGFR-1 and -3) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) in the rat mandibular condyle during growthV Visnapuu
Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Lemminkaisenkatu 2, FIN 20520 Turku, Finland
Orthod Craniofac Res 5:147-53. 2002..To elucidate the role of the fibroblast growth factors 1 and 3 (FGFR-1, -3) and the platelet derived growth factor (PDGFR) in the growth of the mandibular condylar cartilage in the rat... - Distribution of insulin-like growth factor-I mRNA in the mandibular condyle and rib cartilage of the rat during growthV Visnapuu
Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Lemminkaisenkatu 2, FIN 20520, Turku, Finland
Arch Oral Biol 47:791-8. 2002..The findings shed light on the problem of overgrowth often associated with the use of costochondral grafts to replace defective mandibular condyles... - Periapical cemental dysplasia is common in women with NF1Vivian Visnapuu
Department of Anatomy, University of Turku, Kiinamyllynkatu 10, FIN 20520 Turku, Finland
Eur J Med Genet 50:274-80. 2007..Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder with skeletal involvement. Periapical cemental dysplasia is a rare finding in the normal population... - Neurofibromatosis 1 and dental cariesVivian Visnapuu
Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of Turku, Kiinamyllynkatu 10, 20520 Turku, Finland
Clin Oral Investig 15:119-21. 2011..The results of the present study are important to report since a common anecdotal perception is that the rate of caries may be higher in NF1 compared to reference population... - Short mandible, maxilla and cranial base are common in patients with neurofibromatosis 1Eetu Heervä
Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of Turku, Kiinamyllynkatu, Finland
Eur J Oral Sci 119:121-7. 2011..Thus, a tall adult patient with NF1 may have short jaws and a short cranial base. In conclusion, the NF1 gene apparently influences the growth of craniofacial bones, thus contributing to the craniofacial morphology in NF1... - Oral soft tissue alterations in patients with neurofibromatosisEeva Mari Jouhilahti
Institute of Biomedicine, Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of Turku, Kiinamyllynkatu 10, 20520 Turku, Finland
Clin Oral Investig 16:551-8. 2012..The clinicians should recognize that oral soft tissue alterations are relatively common in NF1. Some of the growths are disturbing, and plexiform neurofibromas may bear a risk of malignant transformation... - Speech characteristics in neurofibromatosis type 1Lotta Alivuotila
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Turku, Turku, Finland
Am J Med Genet A 152:42-51. 2010..We suggest that difficulties in speech, particularly in regulating pitch, may have negative social implications. Our results highlight which components of speech require particular attention in speech therapy for patients with NF1...
