Abstract
The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of restoring the lowered masticatory muscle functional pressure and correcting bilateral differences in masticatory muscle functional pressure on jawbone growth during growth and development with a quantitative evaluation of the changes in the micro/nanostructural characteristics of entheses. Male Wistar rats aged 4 weeks were divided into an experimental group injected with a botulinum toxin serotype A (BoNT/A) formulation to reduce muscle function (BTX group) and a control group (CTRL group). They were euthanised after 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 weeks after measuring the difference between the midline of the upper and lower incisors. The mandibles were harvested for histological examination, second harmonic generation imaging, and the quantitative evaluation of biological apatite (BAp) crystal alignment. The midline difference decreased with age in weeks. In rats from 6 weeks after BoNT/A administration to 12 weeks after administration, the collagen fibre bundle diameter was significantly smaller in the BTX group; the difference between the two groups decreased with increasing age. BAp crystal alignment was significantly different on the x-axis and the y-axis on the BTX group from 6 weeks after BoNT/A administration to 10 weeks after administration. Asymmetry of mandibular bone formation caused by load imbalance during growth could be corrected by the adjustment of the function of the masseter muscle on either side.

Abstract
The importance of considering bone quality during oral implant treatment is increasingly being recognized. Assessment of bone quality in response to changes in the jaw bone is extremely important when planning treatment. The present study analyzed biological apatite (BAp) crystallites, a bone quality factor, in order to investigate crystallographic anisotropy in dentate and edentulous human mandibles. Using mandibular samples from Japanese adult cadavers, a region of interest was established comprising cortical bone in the central incisors. Samples were classified into five morphological categories based on the extent of bone resorption. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured and diffraction intensity ratios were calculated using a microbeam X-ray diffraction system. While no differences were observed in BMD, differences were observed in BAp crystallite alignment between the measurement points. In the alveolar region, samples with residual alveolar bone showed strong alignment in the occlusal direction, while samples with marked alveolar bone resorption had preferential alignment in the mesiodistal direction. The present findings suggest that tooth loss and the extent of alveolar bone resorption affects bone quality in the mandible. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Biomed. Mater. Res.
