External Root Resorption Associated with Maxillary Expansion Therapies as Evaluated via Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Randomized Clinical Trial
DownloadFall 2015
Objective: To investigate and develop an appropriate measurement protocol possessing adequate precision in both intra- and inter-rater reliability for in vivo maxillary first molar volume measurements using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. To assess in vivo through the use of CBCT...

Modeling the Viscoelastic Material Behavior of the Midpalatal Suture in Finite Element Simulations for the Purpose of Better Understanding the Role of Soft Tissue Sutures in Orthodontic Maxillary Expansion Procedures
DownloadFall 2016
Finite element analysis can help increase understanding of how the material behavior of the midpalatal suture affects maxillary expansion in adolescents with unfused sutures. Mathematical material models describing the non linear viscoelastic behavior of the midpalatal suture were previously...
