Comparison Of Digital And Cbct Synthesized Lateral Cephalograms, Da Lee
Comparison Of Digital And Cbct Synthesized Lateral Cephalograms, Da Lee
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the precision of lateral cephalometric Ricketts analysis measurements from NewTom 5G CBCT (NewTom) synthesized lateral cephalograms with Sirona Orthophos XG Plus (Sirona) digital lateral cephalograms. Materials & Methods: A Sirona digital lateral cephalogram and a NewTom synthesized lateral cephalogram of a phantom in the orthogonal and perspective projections were created. Metal washers in each plane of the phantom were measured in the vertical and horizontal dimensions and compared across the different imaging modalities. In Group 1, forty patients were randomly selected from the Loma Linda University Graduate Orthodontic Clinic who had …
Comparison Between Ceph Analysis On Lateral Cephs, Cbct Scans, And Mri Scans, Jeffrey W. Lam
Comparison Between Ceph Analysis On Lateral Cephs, Cbct Scans, And Mri Scans, Jeffrey W. Lam
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: Most current methods of obtaining images for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning involve the use of ionizing radiation. Given that patients often need records taken several times during treatment, an alternative should be found that does not involve ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exists as a possible alternative. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare cephalometric measurements obtained from lateral cephs, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, and MR scans. Methods: Lateral cephs, CBCTs, and MRIs were taken on 22 patients. 3 separate readers traced the images and the data was analyzed using Bland-Altman plots. Results: …
Effect Of Attending Doctor Changes On Orthodontic Treatment Times And Results, Emily Caskey Peppers
Effect Of Attending Doctor Changes On Orthodontic Treatment Times And Results, Emily Caskey Peppers
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine if there was any significant difference in treatment time or results due to varying levels of attending doctor coverage in the Loma Linda University (LLU) graduate orthodontics clinic. Methods and Materials: The main study group of 191 subjects was split into high, medium and low coverage groups by primary attending doctor coverage and then by original attending doctor coverage. Treatment times, treatment results, and other variables were evaluated for each of the groups. Treatment results were evaluated using UK Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores. A second study group (289 subjects) included …
Periodontal Health Of Anterior Teeth With Two Types Of Fixed Retainers, Andrew I. Corbett
Periodontal Health Of Anterior Teeth With Two Types Of Fixed Retainers, Andrew I. Corbett
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: Fixed retainers for anterior teeth have become a popular method for maintaining the position and function of teeth after orthodontic treatment. Various retainer designs, wire sizes and types have been used over the years. One problem with fixed retainers is that they complicate oral hygiene and therefore might negatively affect the periodontal tissues if left in place for long periods of time. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the periodontal health of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth retained with two different types of fixed retainers. Methods: Male and female subjects who had been in continuous orthodontic …
Photos And Silhouettes In Evaluating The Need For Bsso Surgery In Adult Females, Jessicah L. Moretz
Photos And Silhouettes In Evaluating The Need For Bsso Surgery In Adult Females, Jessicah L. Moretz
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the anterior/posterior position of the mandible at which an orthodontist and oral surgeon would advise bilateral sagittal split osteotomy advancement or set back when evaluating adult female photos and silhouettes. Material & Methods: Fifty-one adult female profile photos and lateral cephalograms were collected. Subjects were selected who met three criteria: 1) ANB of 0-2, 2) balanced profile image, and 3) age greater than 18. The image and cephalometric tracing were morphed together to allow software simulation of mandibular prognathia and retrognathia in 2 mm increments. Orthodontists and oral surgeons evaluated morphed …
