The Perceived Prognosis Of Endodontic Treatment And Implant Therapy Among Dental Practitioners, Rachel Margaret Stockhausen
The Perceived Prognosis Of Endodontic Treatment And Implant Therapy Among Dental Practitioners, Rachel Margaret Stockhausen
SoDM Masters Theses
Little data concerning the perceived success of implant therapy in comparison with endodontic treatment exists. While the criteria used to measure the outcome of each modality are not the same, it is not clear if this is appreciated by practicing dentists. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the perceived outcome of implant therapy in comparison to endodontic treatment. A 23 question Web-based survey was distributed to 648 dentists who matriculated from the University of Connecticut School Of Dental Medicine over the past 30 years. The response rate was 47%. Sixty-seven percent of respondents were general dentists. Forty-nine percent …

Effects Of Externally Applied, Cyclical, Low Magnitude Forces On Orthodontic Tooth Movement In Rats, Elizabeth Clair Blake
Effects Of Externally Applied, Cyclical, Low Magnitude Forces On Orthodontic Tooth Movement In Rats, Elizabeth Clair Blake
SoDM Masters Theses
Orthodontic tooth movement requires external orthodontic forces to be converted to cellular signals that result in the coordinated removal of bone on one side of the tooth (compression side) by osteoclasts, and the formation of new bone by osteoblasts on the other side (tension side). The length of orthodontic treatment can take several years, leading to problems of caries, periodontal disease, root resorption, and patient dissatisfaction. It appears that the velocity of tooth movement is largely dependent on the rate of alveolar bone remodeling. Pharmacological approaches to increase the rate of tooth movement are limited due to patient discomfort, severe …

A Dynamic Analysis: The Smile And Display Of Dentition During Speech, Allen Yaghoubzadeh
A Dynamic Analysis: The Smile And Display Of Dentition During Speech, Allen Yaghoubzadeh
SoDM Masters Theses
The objective of this retrospective study is to follow up on a previous Dynamic Smile Analysis and videographically analyze and develop averages for soft tissue norms with respect to the display of dentition during speech. These values would then be compared cross-sectionally across different age groups to see whether changes attributable to the aging process could be seen. A secondary objective was to compare averages for soft tissue norms in the display of dentition during speech to averages for soft tissue norms in the display of dentition during the smile. Materials and Method: Records from a previous study in which …

Characterization Of Chemical And Biological Properties Of Purified Porphyromonas Gingivalis Free Dihydroceramides, Andrew Robert Chapokas
Characterization Of Chemical And Biological Properties Of Purified Porphyromonas Gingivalis Free Dihydroceramides, Andrew Robert Chapokas
SoDM Masters Theses
The aim of the present investigation is to purify, characterize, and determine the chemical and biological properties of Porphyromonas gingivalis free dihydroceramides (fDHC). Effects were tested by examination of human gingival fibroblast morphologic changes in addition to their synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2&#;) produced in vitro. Free dihydroceramides as well as phosphoglycerol dihydroceramide (PGDHC), and de-esterified phosphoglycerol dihydroceramide (PGDHC-C15:0) were obtained by total lipid extraction of P. gingivalis followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Confirmation and structural analysis was obtained by electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-/+MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). A synthetic free dihydroceramide …

First Order Archwire Deflections: Comparing Conventional, Active Self-Ligating And Passive Self-Ligating Mechanisms, Michael B. Holbert
First Order Archwire Deflections: Comparing Conventional, Active Self-Ligating And Passive Self-Ligating Mechanisms, Michael B. Holbert
SoDM Masters Theses
Our aim in this study was to compare conventional, active self-ligating and passive self-ligating mechanisms using first order archwire deflections. A cantilever and three point bend model were used to assess degree of bracket play, deactivation force, and superelastic range. Methods: We studied five different bracket types: victoryTM( 3M-Unitek, St. Paul, MN), smartClipTM( 3M-Unitek, St. Paul, MN), Damon hYTM( ~ rmc oG, lendora, CA), CarriereTM( Ortho Organizers, Carlsbad, CA) and In- Ovation R~~ (GAC Intl., Bohemia, NY). These brackets were tested with round superelastic nickel titanium wires varying in diameter: 0.014", 0.016", 0.018" and 0.020" (Ultimate Wireforms Inc., Bristol, CT). …
