Effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound on orthodontically induced root resorption caused by torque: A prospective double blinded controlled clinical trial
DownloadFall 2015
Orthodontically induced root resorption (OIIRR) is an undesirable consequence of orthodontic treatment and may lead to permanent loss of root structure. A previous clinical trial demonstrated the effect of LIPUS on tipping type of OTM and reported that LIPUS can promote cementogenesis. However,...

The Effect of Gingival Fibroblasts and Ultrasound on Orthodontically Induced Root Resorption in Beagle Dogs
DownloadSpring 2015
A favourable tooth crown-to-root ratio is required for supporting the tooth, but also for withstanding occlusal forces. This ratio is adversely affected when the tooth root is shortened. Orthodontically induced tooth root resorption is an unwanted side effect of orthodontic tooth movement. In...

Treatment effect of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound either alone, with functional appliance and with gene therapy on the mandibular condylar growth
DownloadFall 2016
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) with or without the use of forward bite jumping appliance, also known as functional appliance (FA) on the mandibular condylar growth in the rat model and also to investigate the biological effect on MC...
