Alignment Of Cervical Vertebrae And Reliability Of Cephalometric Measurements, Ece Agirgol
Theses & Dissertations
Cervical vertebrae are in close relationship with dentofacial structures due to their anatomical position. In previous studies, the inclination of cervical vertebrae was measured by mostly Nasion-Sella line as the reference plane to evaluate the relationship with dentofacial structures.
The aim of this study is to observe the correlation between cervical vertebrae inclination and lateral cephalometric measurements. 124 lateral cephalograms taken in Natural Head Position of subjects over 18 years of age were traced with Dolphin Imaging Software 11.95 Premium. Cervical vertebrae inclination was measured by using the lines passing from landmarks on second, third and forth cervical vertebrae. Correlation …
The Effectiveness Of Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Varnish In Preventing White Spot Lesions During Fixed Appliance Orthodontic Therapy: An In Vitro Study, Bradley Herman
Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of a glass ionomer varnish in preventing demineralization of enamel adjacent to and some distance away from an orthodontic bracket. Forty extracted human molars were divided into four different treatment groups (varnish in distilled water, varnish in acetic acid, enamel in acetic acid, and enamel in distilled water). Two 3 x 3 mm graphite windows were drawn on the tooth, one adjacent to the bracket and one 3 mm away from the first window, indicating the scanning area. Varnish was applied to the teeth in the varnish groups and all …
