Influence Of Free-End Distal Extension On The Accuracy Of Guided Implant Placement: An In Vitro Study, Geoffrey Ganzman
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of type of tooth-support (bounded edentulous space versus unbounded edentulous spaces) on the accuracy of fully-guided implant placement using static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) in partially-dentate patients. Methods: Four different clinical scenarios were simulated; (a) bounded single-tooth edentulous space (BES), and three different free-end distal extensions with (b) unbounded single-tooth edentulous space (UBES1), (c) unbounded two-teeth edentulous space (UBES2), and (d) unbounded three-teeth edentulous space (UBES3). An implant planning software was used to design 3D-printed stereolithographic surgical guides for the respective clinical scenarios. In total n=140 implants with dimensions …

Outcomes Of Primary Endodontic Therapy In Medicaid Enrollees, Timothy Gainey
Master's Theses (2009 -)
The objective of this study was to determine factors affecting survival of teeth after nonsurgical root canal therapy (NSRCT) among enrollees of Wisconsin Medicaid during the years 2001-2009. Only permanent teeth with NSRCTs and that had permanent restorations within 60 days after treatment completion were included in the analysis. Patients with less than 60 days of insurance coverage after treatment completion were excluded. NSRCTs and untoward events (extraction) were identified based on Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT). Kaplan-Meier methods were used to plot the survival distribution for the overall cohort and subgroups by age, gender, race, tooth location, …
