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...

Heo, Giseon, Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P., Romanyk, Dan R., Toogood, Roger W., Fathimani, Maryam
Background The primary objective of this study was to develop a computer-controlled three-dimensional friction measuring system, the orthodontic friction simulator (OFS). A clinically-based in vitro experiment considering wet and dry friction for conventionally and self-ligated brackets is...

Effect of Ligation Method on Maxillary Arch Force / Moment Systems for a Simulated Lingual Incisor Malalignment
Download2014
Romanyk, Dan L., Major, Paul W., Seru, Surbhi, Toogood, Roger W., Carey, Jason P.
Introduction: The objectives of this study were to determine whether there is a difference in the magnitude of forces and moments produced by elastic ligation when compared to passive ligation, and whether these forces and moments propagate differently along the arch for the two ligation types. A...

Evaluating the Biomechanics of Tooth Movement induced through Orthodontic Braces using an Integrated Clinical and Mechanical Approach
DownloadSpring 2024
Orthodontics is the dental specialization focused on correcting tooth and jaw misalignments. The treatment is known to have positive effects on the quality of life of the public by improving personal aesthetics and oral health. A common fixed treatment option is orthodontic braces, composed of...

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 Midpalatal Suture during Maxillary Expansion Treatment and its Implication towards Appliance Design
DownloadFall 2014
Widening the maxilla, or upper jaw, is a common treatment in orthodontics used to generate additional room in the correction of tooth misalignments. Expansion is achieved through activation of an appliance inserted in the patients’ upper jaw. Currently, appliances utilizing expansion screws,...

Multi-Objective Optimization Framework for Landmark Measurement Error Correction in Three Dimensional Cephalometric Tomography
Download2013
Lagravère, Manuel O., Carey, Jason P., DeCesare, Alessandro, Secanell, Marc
The purpose of this study is to minimize errors that occur when using a four vs six landmark superimpositioning method in the cranial base to define the co-ordinate system. Cone beam CT volumetric data from ten patients were used for this study. Co-ordinate system transformations were performed....

Orthodontic Simulation of Forces and Moments Using Space Generation Mechanics with a Lingual Bracket System
DownloadFall 2019
Objectives: Evaluation of the three dimensional (3D) forces and moments exerted by lingual orthodontic brackets in a simulated dental arch with crowded teeth. Statistical and mechanical analysis of the forces and moments between two different treatment mechanics (NiTi coil springs and archwire...
