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...

Fall 2023
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that our infection prevention and control (IPC) knowledge has some glaring gaps on what best ways to treat dental patients, leading to a flurry of research to understand the best mitigation strategies to reduce aerosols. One of these strategies...

The association between access to medical care (physicians and nurse practitioners) and impact on resident outcomes: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis
DownloadSpring 2022
The nursing home population is vulnerable and medically complex, yet little is known about models of medical service provision and associated quality outcomes. The goal of this thesis project is to examine the association between physician and nurse practitioner accessibility and practice...

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...

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...

Volumetric Analysis Of The Alveolar Housing Around The Mandibular Incisors In Response To Class II Orthodontic Correction
DownloadFall 2020
Introduction: The use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in clinical practice has seen a rise in recent years. Its usefulness as a diagnostic adjunct to traditional imaging modalities is undeniable, especially in orthognathic surgery planning, temporomandibular joint imaging, and in locating...

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...

Albertan Orthodontists’ Perceived Challenges and Strategies to Obtain Adult Patients’ Informed Consent
DownloadFall 2019
Introduction: Informed consent (IC) is a communication process between a patient and a doctor that often leads to agreement or permission for health care management. For the IC process to be effective, provision of appropriate and accurate information to patients is fundamental and must be...

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...
