A Clinical Method For Predicting Orthodontic Band Sizes, Robert P. Mohr Jun 1978

A Clinical Method For Predicting Orthodontic Band Sizes, Robert P. Mohr

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A correlation was established among the orthodontic band sizes in a given individual. The original sample contained 258 data sets (Unitek Corp. band sizes from first molar through the first molar in both arches) which were computer analyzed. The maxillary right central incisor band size was selected as the "predictor size" for a band size prediction table developed from this study.

An additional 56 data sets were tabulated and became the test sample to test the accuracy of the band size prediction table. Band sizes of the test sample were predicted within ±1 band size 66% of the time and …


Effects Of Heat Treatment On The Mechanical Properties Of Chromium-Cobalt Alloy Wire, Robert L. Nations Jun 1978

Effects Of Heat Treatment On The Mechanical Properties Of Chromium-Cobalt Alloy Wire, Robert L. Nations

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Since virtually all stages of orthodontic treatment involve forces obtained from deformed metallic materials, an understanding of properties of metals is an important part of orthodontics. The use of chromium-cobalt alloy for arch wires is relatively new to the field, and more needs to be known about its use in order to get the most from this product.

Many clinicians feel that advantages can be gained through a low temperature heat-treatment to change certain mechanical properties of the material. A tensile test was chosen in the attempt to learn more about this alloy in the untreated form as well as …


Tensile Properties Of Stainless Steel Orthodontic Wire, Elbert E. Jackson Jun 1978

Tensile Properties Of Stainless Steel Orthodontic Wire, Elbert E. Jackson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Ten types of .020 inch stainless steel wire were compared using a tensile test. The wires were tested in the as-received condition and after heat treatment at 750°F for eleven minutes. The data were then analyzed statistically using the general linear hypothesis.

In the as-received condition each of four mechanical properties--elastic modulus, 0.2 per cent yield strength, tensile strength, and percent elongation--was found to vary significantly from one type to another.

When subjected to heat treatment, the elastic modulus proved to be the most stable of the four properties, changing only slightly in three cases. There was no significant change …
