Comparison Of Digital Treatment Setups And Final Treatment Outcomes Of Class Ii Division 1 Malocclusions Treated With Premolar Extractions, Sogol Shantiyai
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether there are differences between pre-orthodontic treatment dimensions when compared to the virtual treatment simulations and actual orthodontic treatment outcomes in Class II malocclusions treated with two or four premolar extractions.
Introduction: The use of intraoral scanners has become commonplace in orthodontic practices, giving practitioners the ability to scan and assess maxillary and mandibular dental morphology and occlusal relationships chairside and in real-time. Practitioners can use virtual treatment planning to evaluate different extraction patterns, visualize potential non-extraction outcomes using interproximal reduction, and alter anchorage strategies based on the amount of retraction or protraction required …
3-D Upper Airway Comparison Between Class I And Class Ii Adults With Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Nga Nguyen
3-D Upper Airway Comparison Between Class I And Class Ii Adults With Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Nga Nguyen
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Objective: The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the risk for daytime sleepiness in adults with Class I and Class II malocclusion and the airway volume, minimum cross-sectional area, and shape at the minimum cross sectional area.
Introduction: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a category of conditions defined by airway complications while a person is sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common of these disorders and is defined as the presence of repeated episodes of complete or partial airway obstruction, which may be associated with loud snoring and daytime sleepiness. Daytime …
