An evaluation of tooth root resorption associated with the use of photobiomodulation during orthodontic treatment with clear aligners
DownloadFall 2020
INTRODUCTION: Photobiomodulation therapy has been reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which may also be contributing to an increase in orthodontically induced external root resorption (OIERR). The aim of this project is to evaluate the change in tooth root volume using cone-beam...

Developing and Testing a Theoretical Model to Determine Children’s Adherence to Oral Health Behaviours
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Adherence to health care advice is a complex health concern especially when it involves children. Dental caries has been identified as the most common chronic childhood disease that occurs in a continuum. At the same time, it can be prevented by adherence to proper oral health...

Fusion of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A New Approach to Diagnostic Imaging of Temporomandibular Joints.
DownloadSpring 2017
Aims: to develop a reliable and accurate method to co-register magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for improved assessment of TMJ internal derangement in adolescents and adults, and to utilize this MRI-CBCT co-registration tool to quantify TMJ changes...

Spring 2015
Bisphosphonate (BP) drugs have been extensively used to prevent and treat osteoporosis and are shown to decrease the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in humans. Recent evidence has demonstrated that long term use of bisphosphonates is associated with atypical fractures of the spine, femoral...

Initial forces experienced by the anterior and posterior teeth during dental-anchored or skeletal-anchored en-masse retraction in an in vitro dental arch
DownloadSpring 2017
Objectives: To evaluate the initial forces generated by retraction springs during en-masse retraction space closure on a simulated maxillary dental arch. To compare these initial retraction forces on the anterior and posterior teeth between traditional dental-anchorage and skeletal anchorage....

Simulation of Initial Forces and Moments on a Curve of Spee Malocclusion with Labial and Lingual Orthodontic Appliances
DownloadFall 2021
OBJECTIVES: Orthodontic movement is determined by the acting forces and moments exerted onto teeth, which are difficult to predict and calculate with continuous archwires. Levelling the curve of Spee is a fundamental objective in orthodontic treatment. The forces and moments exerted by labial and...

Skeletal and Dental Changes During Treatment of Moderate Class II Malocclusions with Fixed Class II Correctors
DownloadFall 2024
Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this this was to compare the skeletal and dental changes associated with the Herbst and Xbow fixed Class II correctors using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods: A sample of 59 Class II patients were randomly allocated into three groups. One group...

The Effect of Conventional Elastomers on Force and Moment of a Self-Ligating Orthodontic Bracket with Second-Order Angulation in the Dry and Wet States evaluated through a new 3D Friction Device
DownloadSpring 2013
Objective: A new three-dimensional friction device was used to investigate the effect of conventional elastomers on force and moment of a self-ligating orthodontic bracket with second-order angulation during a simulated retraction. Methods: An 0.018x0.025-in stainless steel archwire was drawn...

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...
