Effects of Twin Inclined Plane Device on Adaptation and Ultrastructure Variations in Condyle of Growing Rats

Figure 4

The TIPD inhibited the expression of type II collagen in the posterior region of the condyle. (a–d) The expression of type II collagen was stronger in the control group, (g, h) but this decreased from 30 to 60 days in the experimental group. The red box indicates the area of interest, and this is shown in the black box area.
