This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive
processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic …

Introduction In this systematic review, we assessed the literature to determine which
evidence level supports the association of orthodontic force system and root resorption …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

It is widely recognized that the risk of fractures is closely related to the typical decline in bone
mass during the ageing process in both women and men. Exercise has been reported as …

Weight-bearing physical activity has beneficial effects on bone health across the age
spectrum. Physical activities that generate relatively highintensity loading forces, such as …

Understanding how bones are innately designed, robustly developed and delicately
maintained through intricate anatomical features and physiological processes across the …

Excess body weight due to obesity has traditionally been considered to have a positive
effect on bone; however, more recent findings suggest that bone quality is compromised …

Mechanical loads induce changes in the structure, composition, and function of living
tissues. Cells in tissues are responsible for these changes, which cause physiological or …

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by bone loss, which results in architectural
deterioration of the skeleton, compromised bone strength and an increased risk of fragility …

Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by (re) modeling processes of the alveolar bone,
which are triggered by changes in the stress/strain distribution in the periodontium. In the …
