3D Analysis of Maxillary Incisor Root Inclinations in Cases of Unilateral Maxillary Canine Impaction
DownloadFall 2020
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the impacted maxillary canine and the root inclination of the adjacent maxillary incisors. While earlier literature relied on 2-dimensional radiographs, which display an overlapped representation of the maxillary incisors, this project had the...

A Comparison Study of the Reliability Coefficients from Five Approaches to Reliability Estimation
DownloadFall 2015
In order to estimate reliability by a single administration of one test form, various approaches and corresponding reliability coefficients have been proposed so far. Currently, the five most influential approaches are: internal consistency, lower bound, principal components analysis (PCA),...

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 ...

Determining Reliability and Validity of the Modified Gingival Index when Reviewed in an Image-based Survey Format
DownloadFall 2019
Gingivitis affects 50-90% of the Canadian adult population, with the accumulation of dental plaque being the most common cause. Clinically, gingivitis is characterized by red, swollen gums, bleeding upon stimulation, and a loss of stippled, knife-edged margins. Gingivitis will not necessarily...
