Blood Pressure Screening Practices Among Dental Hygienists, Mariah Sullinger

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

“There is consensus on the importance of early detection and treatment of hypertension and dental care is one of the few medical services which involves a considerable proportion of the population returning for routine check-ups” (Berne, Engstrom, Gahnberg, & Svardsudd, 2011, p 194). Little is known about the frequency and consistency of blood pressure screening practices or barriers affecting these procedures. Research findings may support efforts to increase or routinize scope and frequency of this preventive procedure among dental healthcare providers or make it a standard of care. Data from the survey was used to assess what type of setting …

Class Ii Deep Bite Malocclusion Corrected By Two-Stage Approach, Meng-Yun Tsai, Wei-Ting Tseng, Li-Fang Hsu, Kelvin Wen-Chung Chang, Jenny Zwei-Chieng Chang, Eddie Hsiang-Hua Lai

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

In Class II deep-bite malocclusions with growth potential, we could combine orthodontic treatment with orthopedic methods to achieve stable occlusion. The case was a 12-year-old male presented with Class II malocclusion, deep-bite, and low mandibular plane angle. In the stage I treatment, headgear was used to restrict the growth of maxilla. Bilateral Class III molar relationship was gained. After re-evaluation, stage II treatment was started from full mouth banding and bonding, with emphasis on leveling lower curve of Spee and intruding lower anterior teeth by placing reverse curve of Spee in the archwire and intrusive arch to solve the deep …

Long-Term Observation Of Orthodontic Management And Facial Growth On A Patient With Familial Cleidocranial Dysplasia, Chung-Yi Ho, Ellen Wen-Ching Ko, Cheng-Hui Lin

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

The orthodontic management of patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is challenging, which takes a long treatment duration and observation to follow the progress. The completion of treatment is usually not finished until growth completion. This case describes the long-term stage treatment of a 22-year-old female presented with familial CCD. The first stage orthodontic treatment was separated into two phases including surgical exposure of the anterior and posterior teeth, respectively. Extraction of the delayed exfoliated deciduous incisors and supernumerary teeth to clear the eruption path of the submerged permanent anterior teeth was started at her age of 8. The impacted anterior …

Correction Of Skeletal Class Iii Malocclusion With Four Missing Premolars By Surgery-First Approach, Yi-Bo Huang, Chia-Yi Pan, Yu-Ling Cheng, Shih-Wei Pan

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

A 21-year-old female with severe concave profile and prominent chin came for surgical-orthodontic consultation. The patient had missing of four premolars which became intricate with extremely lingual inclined incisors and over-developed mandible. The surgery first approach (SFA) was adopted to correct the skeletal factors at the early stage. The pre-adjusted orthodontic bracket system was applied to normalize the torque of the teeth afterward. The capacities of anterior root-torquing auxiliary wire (ART) and multiple-loop edgewise archwire (MEAW) will be discussed, accordingly. The progress records showed remarkable improvement of profile and occlusion. The change of upper incisor show was also discussed. The …

A Needs Assessment: The Barriers Preventing Students At A Large Midwestern University From Accessing The Dental Clinic On Campus For Preventative Care, Pamela Briese

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Preventive maintenance and dental care for college students is just as important now as it was when they were living with their parents, but even though colleges have been offering campus-based medical care to their students for many years, oral health care has not been included in this health prevention effort. Because of the impact that oral health has on the overall health and well-being of college students, and in following the Healthy People 2020 Oral health goal to “Prevent and control oral and craniofacial diseases, conditions, and injuries, and improve access to preventive services and dental care” (HP2020), this …

Designing Biomimetic Implant Surfaces To Promote Osseointegration Under Osteoporotic Conditions By Revitalizing Mechanisms Coupling Bone Resorption To Formation, Ethan M. Lotz

Theses and Dissertations

In cases of compromised bone remodeling like osteoporosis, insufficient osseointegration occurs and results in implant failure. Implant retention relies on proper secondary fixation, which is developed during bone remodeling. This process is disrupted in metastatic bone diseases like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized low bone mass and bone strength resulting from either accelerated osteoclast-mediated bone resorption or impaired osteoblast-mediated bone formation. These two processes are not independent phenomena. In fact, osteoporosis can be viewed as a breakdown of the cellular communication connecting bone resorption to bone formation. Because bone remodeling occurs at temporally generated specific anatomical sites and at different times, …

Expression Of Endocan And Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor In Recurrent Minor Aphthous Ulcers, Enji Ahmed Mahmoud, Wesam Abdelmonem, Olfat Gamil Shaker, Dalia Mohey-Eldien Ghalwash

Dentistry

Background: Recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) are common painful inflammatory lesions of the mucous lining of the mouth. Endocan, previously identified as endothelial cell specific molecule-1, is implicated as a vital player in the regulation of several inflammatory processes. A number of inflammatory cytokines and pro-angiogenic growth factors including VEGF upregulate endothelial cells synthesis and expression of endocan. Material and Methods: Clinical scores of pain and ulcer size as well as level of endocan and VEGF were determined in swaps from aphthous ulcer and contra lateral normal mucosa in 30 patients (nine males and twenty one females) with age ranging from …

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: Reforming Organized Dentistry To Address Persistent Oral Health Disparities In The U.S., Aparna Chintapalli

Pomona Senior Theses

The importance of oral health has been largely neglected from the conventional standards of healthcare in terms of public understanding & prioritization, the industrial infrastructure, and the scope of prevention & early-intervention services. Its adjunctive locus to the field of medicine has lead to the bifurcation of the oral cavity from the rest of the human body. As a result of this divide, there have been multiple factors that have allowed socially stratified oral health outcomes to manifest. This thesis examines the determinants of oral health disparities through a multidisciplinary lens (i.e. biology, public policy, infrastructure), and offers evidence of …

An Exploration Of Public Misconceptions Of Municipal Water Fluoridation Relating To Oral And Public Health, Thomas A. Hawkins

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Municipal water fluoridation began in 1945, and in the past 70 years, it appears to have decreased the rate of dental caries nationwide. Despite being deemed one of the top ten innovations of the 20th century, there continues to be misconceptions with this controversial practice. The intent of this thesis is to address some of the misconceptions with water fluoridation, and what possible solutions could be provided to alleviate the concerns. This was accomplished through a literature review of current research articles. Two main topics were explored: the public health and oral health concerns and how they contribute to the …

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Background

Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in the US and disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities. Caries is heritable, and though genetic heterogeneity exists between ancestries for a substantial portion of loci associated with complex disease, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of caries specifically in African Americans has not been performed previously.

Methods

We performed exploratory GWAS of dental caries in 109 African American adults (age > 18) and 96 children (age 3–12) from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA1 cohort). Caries phenotypes (DMFS, DMFT, dft, and dfs indices) assessed by dental exams were tested for association …
