Abstract Effect of timing on treatment outcomes and surgical complications of orthognathic surgery in Class II patients
Morrow, AnnaIntroduction Class II malocclusions can be treated with a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. The severity of the malocclusion and growth potential play an important role in the treatment decision. Treatment ... -
Assessing the feasibility of yttria-stabilized zirconia in novel designs as mandibular anterior fixed lingual retention following orthodontic treatment.
Stout, Matthew MichaelThe purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) in fixed lingual retention as an alternative to stainless steel. Exploratory Y-TZP specimens were milled to establish design ... -
Association Between Crowding Estimation and Extraction Recommendations in Orthodontics
Tom, KaitlynLittle is known about how precisely orthodontists in the United States (U.S.) assess crowding in their own practices or at what range of crowding they decide to recommend extractions. The purpose of this study is to assess ... -
Cephalometric Analysis and Long-Term Outcomes of Surgical Jaw Advancement in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ubaldo, Elizabeth Dela Cruz (2014-02-24)<bold>Purpose:</bold> To describe the posterior airway space and soft tissue changes in patients who received orthodontics and single or dual surgical jaw advancement and to evaluate if there is a correlation between ... -
Evaluating Changes in the Inter-Occlusal Space During Orthodontic Retention Stage
Toro, Veronica MIntroduction: The purpose of the study was to measure the post-treatment changes in the inter-occlusal space one month and three months after comprehensive orthodontic treatment: settling. 3D images acquired during retention ... -
Influence of clinicians’ experience and gender on extraction decision in orthodontics
Saghafi, NioushaThe purpose of this study is to determine if, in class I borderline cases, experienced orthodontists choose non-extraction treatments more frequently than orthodontists with less experience. A secondary aim is to evaluate ... -
Malocclusion in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Refractory to Adenotonsillectomy Referred for Sleep Study
Kitagaito, KazumaIntroduction: The sequelae of untreated pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are serious, however, its treatment is not always evident. The first line treatment of pediatric OSA is adenotonsillectomy, but this is not ... -
Occlusal Contact Changes in Patients Treated with Clear Aligners
Frenkel, Erica ShapiroIntroduction: Clear aligners are commonly used in orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusions and enhance smile esthetics. There is little quantitative data on how occlusal contacts are altered by clear aligners. This ... -
Orthodontic Treatment of Anterior Open-bite With and Without Skeletal Anchorage
Johnson, JasonIntroduction: Although there appears to be mounting evidence of benefits that TADs may offer in treatment of anterior open bite (AOB), there remains a lack of studies comparing outcomes and stability in patients treated ... -
Orthodontic Treatment- Induced Changes in Occlusal Contact in Subjects with Class I and Class II malocclusions
Aragon-Meyer, GabrielaIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in occlusal contact area amongst Class I and Class II malocclusions and to determine and compare how orthodontic treatment modifies the occlusal contact ... -
Reducing CBCT radiation dose and maintaining image quality for reliable cephalometric measurements – proof of concept
Katz, FedoraIntroduction: CBCT is increasingly used as tool for orthodontic diagnosis, either as an adjunct or replacement to traditional imaging techniques. Methods to reduce the increased CBCT radiation doses by optimizing exposure ... -
The Assessment of Rapid Palatal Expansion Using a Remote Monitoring Software
Kuriakose, PrincyIntroduction: Dental Monitoring® (DM) is a software system that allows orthodontists to remotely monitor a patient’s treatment. This study evaluated the accuracy of DM software in assessing the achievement of treatment ... -
The Influence of Labio-lingual and Mesio-distal Anterior Tooth Dimensions on Inter-arch Relationships: A Modified Anterior Bolton Analysis
Beygelman, Yelena AkselrodIntroduction: Tooth size and morphology of anterior teeth influence inter-arch relationships. The Bolton analysis uses tooth width to calculate a sum of mandibular to maxillary tooth widths ratio necessary for proper ... -
The Use of Readily Obtained Patient and Parent Data in Mandibular Growth Prediction.
Christopher, Aaron (2014-02-24)The ability to predict a patient's mandibular growth would be a powerful tool for the orthodontic practitioner. Despite several past attempts, a simple, accurate and reliable method still does not exist for mandibular ...
