Incisor Contact In Optimal Occlusion, Ryan Baker
All ETDs from UAB
The objective of the present study was to grade the overjet of untreated plaster dental study casts with optimal occlusion utilizing the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Objective Grading System (OGS). Currently no data set exists for incisor contact norms in optimal occlusion. Materials and Methods: 140 Plaster dental study casts possessing optimal occlusion were utilized for this study. Study casts used were obtained from the office of Dr. Lawrence F. Andrews in San Diego, CA. The majority of the study models were those used in determining Andrews Six Keys to Normal Occlusion. Overjet was graded according to the ABO …

Beam Study In Orthodontic Patients, Benjamin Samuelson
All ETDs from UAB
Introduction: One of the most challenging tasks of the orthodontic team is to motivate patients to maintain proper oral hygiene. In order to improve compliance, clinicians are utilizing mobile applications. The goals of this study are to determine the efficacy of an application-based approach in increasing orthodontic patient’s oral hygiene compliance, as well as measure the correlation between the reported compliance and clinical parameters of gingival health. Materials & Methods: The Beam® toothbrush and its application software (app) were selected for evaluation. Three prospective groups of 15 patients undergoing routine orthodontic treatment were evaluated as part of this research protocol …
Validation Of Mixed Dentition Analysis Method For Northern Thai Population, Wannapa Chinadet
Validation Of Mixed Dentition Analysis Method For Northern Thai Population, Wannapa Chinadet
All ETDs from UAB
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of the Tanaka-Johnston mixed dentition analysis method and develop a new predictive model for Northern Thai population. A total of 400 sets of dental study casts (145 males and 255 females) were obtained from the Department of Pediatrics and Orthodontics at the Chiang Mai University School of Dentistry, Thailand. The models were obtained from patients that were age 11 to 23 years that consisted of a full permanent dentition. A digital caliper was used to measure the mesiodistal widths of all teeth on dental study models. The sum of the …
The Effect Of Temperature On Different Resin Cements Used For Cementing A Milled Titanium Bar, Firas Mourad
The Effect Of Temperature On Different Resin Cements Used For Cementing A Milled Titanium Bar, Firas Mourad
All ETDs from UAB
Purpose: To investigate the effect of acrylic processing on push-out strength of Ti copings luted to Milled Ti frameworks using differing resin cements. Materials and Methods: The experimental design consisted of three groups of 30 specimens each. Three different luting cements were utilized (One for each group), Panavia V5 Dual Cure Kuraray, Multilink Dual Cure Hybrid Ivoclar-Vivadent, and RelyX Unicem-2 self-adhesive 3M. The experimental model consists of trans-mucosal Titanium Coping, Abutment analog, Milled Ti hollow cylinder (9.0mm-OD) represents the milled Ti bar. The Abutment copings were luted to milled-Ti cylinders using the 3 dental cements and an alignment jig to …
