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...

The impact of bias on the magnitude of treatment effect estimates in oral health randomized trials
DownloadFall 2016
Background: There is emerging evidence that randomized trials are subject to biases. Flaws in the design of such trials can result in over- or underestimation of the treatment effect size. Aim: To examine the empirical evidence for bias, to quantify the extent of bias associated with methodology,...

The impact of CE proteins on periodontal disease and the oral microbiome in white spot lesions patients
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Periodontal disease is a pathological condition that affects the soft and hard tissues that surround teeth. Although its overall etiology is well- studied, there remains less clarity as to the etiology of the severe forms of this disease (SvP). The epithelial barrier is one of the...

Three-Dimensional Skeletal and Dental Relations in Orthodontic Patients with Class I and Class II Division 1 Malocclusions
DownloadFall 2018
Introduction: The fundamental purpose of this thesis was to develop a novel three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric analysis that utilizes a 3D Cartesian coordinate system to classify orthodontic patients into different malocclusion groups, per skeletal and dental relationships they share. A review...

Validation of the Alberta Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (APOSA) Index for Orthodontic Treatment Need in Pediatric Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Symptoms
DownloadFall 2016
Objective: To determine the predictive ability of the Alberta Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (APOSA) Index for orthodontic treatment need in pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. Methods: Thirty orthodontic records, representing a spectrum of craniofacial and oral features...

Volume and shape changes of mandibular condyles in growing patients treated with fixed Class II appliances using CBCT
DownloadFall 2021
Objective: Evaluate the changes in the mandibular condyle volume and shape in growing Class II malocclusion patients, following the use of fixed functional Class II appliances (Herbst and Crossbow) compared to a control group that did not have any inter-arch Class II appliances. A validated...

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...

Voxel-Based Iterative Registration Method using Phase Correlations for Three-Dimensional Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Acquired Images
DownloadFall 2016
In orthodontics superimposition is an important technique allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Lower radiation, three-dimensional, cone-beam computed tomography allows for acquisition of three-dimensional patient scans. New superimposition methods are used compared to the...

Fall 2014
Objective: To examine sex-specific differences in the demographics and work patterns of Canadian orthodontists. Methods: Questionnaires were mailed/E-mailed to a random sample of 384 orthodontists (189 male, 95 female). Questions regarding work patterns and personal demographics were created...
