An evaluation of tooth root resorption associated with the use of photobiomodulation during orthodontic treatment with clear aligners
DownloadFall 2020
INTRODUCTION: Photobiomodulation therapy has been reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which may also be contributing to an increase in orthodontically induced external root resorption (OIERR). The aim of this project is to evaluate the change in tooth root volume using cone-beam...

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...

Fall 2019
Background: Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) that exhibit characteristics similar to adult stem cells are also known as gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs). These cells can be isolated using either tissue explants or enzymatic digestion, however it is unknown whether the isolation method influences...

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...
