Comparison Of Resistance To Sliding Between Brackets And Archwires Utilizing Various Ligature Materials, Jagdesh Dudani Jan 2016

Comparison Of Resistance To Sliding Between Brackets And Archwires Utilizing Various Ligature Materials, Jagdesh Dudani

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between ligature material and frictional force created during orthodontic cuspid retraction. Maximum static and mean kinetic frictional resistance between conventional metallic orthodontic appliances and esthetic orthodontic appliances will be compared as well. Background: The use of ceramic brackets in conjunction with coated archwires and ligatures as an alternative to conventional stainless steel appliances has increased in response to the demand for more esthetic orthodontic appliances. Esthetic appliances are associated with increased frictional forces and therefore thought to slow the orthodontic treatment. Knowledge of frictional forces generated within various orthodontic …


Accuracy And Consistency Of Preformed Orthodontic Arch Wires And The Effect Of Energy Drinks, Caroline Albea Jan 2016

Accuracy And Consistency Of Preformed Orthodontic Arch Wires And The Effect Of Energy Drinks, Caroline Albea

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Introduction: Selection of the proper arch wire requires a thorough knowledge and understanding of the mechanical properties of wires as well as the system being used. Even with careful selection, orthodontists may experience different results due to the inaccuracy of the stated wire dimensions. Previous studies by Melling et al. have shown nickel titanium, stainless steel, and chrome-cobalt arch wires to be thinner than their marketed values.1 However, the literature is lacking information regarding (1) accuracy of the currently available orthodontic arch wires and (2) the consistency of the arch wire size. Orthodontic wires are also exposed to various chemical …


Evaluating Conventional And Digital Impressions Of Single Unit Restorations, And Conventional Vs. Digital Impressions From The Laboratory Technicians’ Perspective, Tagreed Alohali Jan 2016

Evaluating Conventional And Digital Impressions Of Single Unit Restorations, And Conventional Vs. Digital Impressions From The Laboratory Technicians’ Perspective, Tagreed Alohali

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objectives: To Evaluate the quality of Digital Impressions and Conventional Impressions sent to commercial dental labs and to compare Conventional impressions vs. Digital impressions from the Laboratory Technicians’ Perspective. Background: The literature lacks studies that evaluate the quality of final impressions of indirect restorations, particularly in the USA, additionally there is a direct relation between impressions accuracy and produced restoration quality, which makes it impossible to produce high quality restoration from poor impression. Methods: 259 PVS impressions were evaluated for their quality by a calibrated examiner using a specific evaluation form. Type of tray, arch and required restoration were recorded. …

Effect Of Stance Symmetry On Perturbation-Induced Protective Stepping In Persons Poststroke And Controls, Katherine M. Martinez Jan 2016

Effect Of Stance Symmetry On Perturbation-Induced Protective Stepping In Persons Poststroke And Controls, Katherine M. Martinez

Department of Physical Therapy Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Problem Statement: Stepping is a common strategy after a perturbation. Stroke survivors display a predilection for stepping with non-paretic leg. Insight into induced stepping between stroke survivors and age-matched control may guide our understanding for reactive postural control training post stroke. Purpose: To investigate the difference in perturbation-induced stepping between chronic stroke survivors and age-matched controls at three phases of the stepping response: preparation, execution, and landing and association with clinical outcome measures. Procedure: Twenty-one community-dwelling chronic stroke survivors (mean age 59y/o ±13yrs) and 17 age- and gender-matched controls (mean age 54.4y/o ±17yrs) completed this study. Clinical measures of gait, …

An In-Vitro Comparison Of Bond Quality Using A Novel Flash-Free Adhesive System With Metal Brackets, Joseph Kevin Ryan Jan 2016

An In-Vitro Comparison Of Bond Quality Using A Novel Flash-Free Adhesive System With Metal Brackets, Joseph Kevin Ryan

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Introduction: 3M Unitek (2724 Peck Rd, Monrovia, CA 91016) has recently released a new adhesive system labeled APCTM Flash-Free (APCTM FF) that pledges to eliminate flash removal from the orthodontic bracket bonding process. The company states that the bond strength of this new system is comparable to other adhesive systems such as APCTM PLUS. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond quality of APCTM FF by measuring excess adhesive, shear bond strength (SBS), microleakage penetration and adhesive remnant index (ARI) compared to APCTM PLUS. Methods: Eighty brackets were bonded on freshly extracted bovine permanent mandibular incisors as …
