Fall 2013
Purpose: evaluate 1) reliability and accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for assessing adenoid size compared to nasoendoscopy (NE), 2) Influence of clinical experience on CBCT diagnosis. Methods: Four blinded evaluators reviewed randomized CBCT images. Adenoid size was graded on a...

Anterior and Middle Cranial Base Growth and Development Changes as Assessed Through CBCT Imaging in Adolescents
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction: In this study three dimensional Cone beam computed tomography is used to evaluate intra-rater, inter-rater and accuracy of selected 3D landmarks of anterior and middle cranial bases. Growth related dimensional changes of anterior and middle cranial base structures are then assessed ...

Comparison of the degree of external root resorption of lower incisors and canines when using the Forsus Spring® over the arch or as part of a Crossbow® device in a RCT
DownloadFall 2020
Objective: Assess the degree of external root resorption among lower incisors and canines undergoing orthodontic movement with two Forsus® springs approaches. Materials and methods: The sample of this RCT consisted of 23 patients treated with Forsus® springs over the arch and in 20 patients as...

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Analysis of Nasal Septum Changes Caused by Rapid Maxillary Expansion in Adolescent Patients with Mild to Moderate Septal Deviation
DownloadFall 2015
Objectives: The objective of this thesis was to analyze cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to measure potential changes in nasal septal deviation (NSD) from rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment in a sample of adolescent patients. Methods: This retrospective study involved 26...

Developing an Index for the Orthodontic Treatment Need in Pediatric Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Communication Tool between Physicians and Orthodontists
DownloadSpring 2016
Purpose: To develop a physician screening index for the oral and facial assessment of the orthodontic treatment-need in pediatric patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that may diminish the severity of their OSA symptoms. Methods: Based on the available literature and WHO guidelines for...

Development and Validation of Semi-automatic Segmentation Technique of Mandibular Condyles from CBCT images
DownloadSpring 2020
Objectives: Mandibular condyle contains an important growth site that contributes to the eventual anteroposterior position of the mandible, and is a crucial component in establishing normal temporomandibular function. To accurately assess the change in the volume and morphology of the mandibular...

External Root Resorption Associated with Maxillary Expansion Therapies as Evaluated via Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Randomized Clinical Trial
DownloadFall 2015
Objective: To investigate and develop an appropriate measurement protocol possessing adequate precision in both intra- and inter-rater reliability for in vivo maxillary first molar volume measurements using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. To assess in vivo through the use of CBCT...

Orthodontic Simulation of Forces and Moments Using Space Generation Mechanics with a Lingual Bracket System
DownloadFall 2019
Objectives: Evaluation of the three dimensional (3D) forces and moments exerted by lingual orthodontic brackets in a simulated dental arch with crowded teeth. Statistical and mechanical analysis of the forces and moments between two different treatment mechanics (NiTi coil springs and archwire...

The Effect of the Dental Follicle Volume of Palatally Impacted Maxillary Canines on the Relative Position of the Adjacent Teeth
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has provided in-depth three-dimensional insight into the field of dentistry that were not readily available in the past. It is typically used as an adjunct with traditional imaging modalities to use as a diagnostic aid in orthodontics where...

The Effects of Elastic Size and Archwire Type on 3-Dimensional Force Systems When Using Class II Interarch Elastics
DownloadSpring 2017
Abstract Objectives: An orthodontic simulator (OSIM) device was used to compare the force systems generated by class II elastics on a ½ cusp class II malocclusion using four combinations of two elastic types and two archwire types. Methods: 3-dimensional forces and moments due to class II...
