Outline of Final Research Achievements

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 studies have been based on two-dimensional (2D) radiographs in the lateral view. However, 2D observation cannot detect three-dimensional (3D) changes in detail. Therefore, we have newly developed and reported a modified surface-based analysis using micro-3D computed tomography (CT) to examine and detect 3D changes of the mandible associated with soft diet feeding.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、環境要因がエピジェネティック制御に影響を与え、その結果、形態形成異常が生じるという全く新しい概念を提案するものである。その知識基盤が確立されれば、不正咬合患者の診断において、特定の遺伝子のエピジェネティック変異があるかどうかを調べることにより、成長予測や治療効果の予測が行えるようになるかもしれない。さらに薬剤の投与によってそれをコントロールすることができれば将来の矯正歯科治療における治療の一つのありかたに大きな変化をもたらすことができる。このように、本研究がもたらす研究結果は学術的意義が非常に高いと考えられる。
