A Novel Method to Detect 3D Mandibular Changes Related to Soft-Diet Feeding

Craniofacial morphology varies among individuals, which is regulated by the interaction between genes and the environment. Soft-diet feeding is a widely-used experimental model for studying the association between the skeletal morphology and muscle-related loading on the bone. Traditionally, these s...
