Scientific Abstract
In orthodontics, craniofacial sutures play a central role. In the present radiological study, we would like to examine to what extent 7T-MRI images of the midface are comparable to the gold standard (CT/CBCT images). To gain a better understanding of sutural remodelling at the cellular level, cyclic pressure loads will be applied to co-cultures of fibroblasts, chondrocytes and osteoblasts in a controlled in vitro system and their gene expression will be investigated.
