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...

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...

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...

Development of a three dimensional analysis of buccolingual inclinations in maxillary transverse deficiencies
DownloadFall 2017
Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this thesis was to develop a new 3D transverse analysis that utilizes a 3D Cartesian coordinate system to assess buccolingual inclinations of first molars and canines using a previously described 3D maxillary reference plane. Landmarks used to create this...

Frequency and Characteristics of Incidental Findings Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in an Orthodontic Population
DownloadFall 2014
Objectives: To explore the nature and frequency of incidental findings in large field of view cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, to assess the agreement among orthodontic clinicians in the assessment of the impact of maxillofacial findings identified in CBCT imaging. Methods: A...

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...

Posterior Cranial Base Growth and Development Changes as Assessed Through CBCT Imaging in Adolescents
DownloadFall 2017
Introduction: Understanding craniofacial growth and development is important for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and post treatment evaluation of orthodontic cases. Paramount to this is knowledge of the cranial base growth and development, since it is the foundation upon which the...

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...
