Analysis of the biological effects of Therapeutic ultrasound on orthodontically induced tooth root resorption repair
DownloadFall 2012
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the biological effects of LIPUS on orthodontically induced inflammatory resorption (OIIRR) in in vivo and in vitro models. The in vitro samples were obtained from healthy human premolars and cultured for 5-days or 24-hours with application of LIPUS at...

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,...
