The objectives of this study were to investigate the structure of Invisalign appliances (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) after intraoral exposure, and to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the substances leached from the aligners after accelerated in vitro aging. Samples of Invisalign appliances were randomly selected from 10 patients before intraoral placement and after retrieval, and the prepared specimens were subjected to (1) bright-field optical reflection microscopy to study the surface morphology; (2) Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy to characterize the in vivo changes in molecular composition induced on appliance surfaces, (3) scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis to identify …
The Effect Of Topical Fluorides On The Microleakage Of Sealants, N. Jared Nation
The Effect Of Topical Fluorides On The Microleakage Of Sealants, N. Jared Nation
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible microleakage found in two groups of sealants; a group bonded with a dentin bonding agent (DBA), and a group bonded without a DBA after exposure to a variety of topical fluorides.
Materials and Methods: Extracted, human molars were placed into 8 groups. Half of the groups contained sealants that were bonded with a DBA and the other remaining groups of sealants were bonded without a DBA.

The Effect Of Naocl, Ca(Oh)2, Mta And Mtad On Root Dentin Fracture Resistance, Sunil Ilapogu
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Various materials are used for the treatment of immature teeth that have been subjected to trauma or decay. It is not well established what effect these materials may have on the immature root dentin. A concern would be the resistance to fracture of the remaining root dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare the resistance of fracture of bovine teeth treated with sodium hypochlorite, calcium hydroxide, gray MTA and gray MTA in conjunction with MTAD after certain periods of time. One hundred and ninety five freshly extracted, intact bovine incisors were prepared using a modified Haapasalo and Orstavik …

The Effect Of Rapid Maxillary Expansion On Nasal Cavity Volume And Nasal Airway Resistance, Todd Ehrler
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This study examined the effects of Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME). Using Cone Beam CT scanning technology and Rhinomanometry, the volume and nasal airway resistance (NAR) of the nasal cavity was measured immediately before and after RME.
27 subjects (16 female, and 11 male), ages 9-18 were enrolled in the study. After RME all subjects had a statistically significant increase in nasal cavity volume. The pre expansion group experienced a statistically significant reduction in NAR when compared to the post expansion group. Individuals with a high pre expansion NAR experienced the greatest reduction in NAR. The correlation between change in volume …

A Conservative Esthetic Restoration Of Microdontia In Adolescent Patient: A Case Report, Maliwan Vongsittajarn
A Conservative Esthetic Restoration Of Microdontia In Adolescent Patient: A Case Report, Maliwan Vongsittajarn
Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal
Peg-shaped tooth is an abnormally where there is a reduction in tooth size compared to that of normal standard, and could be categorized as microdontia. It is mostly found in maxillary lateral incisors causing a so-called spacing in upper anterior teeth and also creating esthetic and pronunciation problems. This report suggested a treatment plan in which the teeth were restored to normal size and proportion and the spaces were closed, resulting in a facial esthetic improvement and better personality. The importance of patient communication in order to obtain adequate understanding of the treatment and to successfully satisfy the patient need …

Cone Beam Ct And Digital Radiography. A Comparative Study Of P/A Cephalometrics., Michael John Erickson
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine if Rickett's posterio-anterior (P/A) cephalogram measurements could be obtained from Cone Beam Computerized Tomographic (CBCT) images taken on the NewTom QR-DVT 9000™.
Fifteen frontal cephalometric radiographs were chosen for good image quality, with no regard for patient age or gender. Each cephalogram was traced three times by the same operator using ZeroBase™ software. Landmarks were located and measured according to the Rickett's frontal analysis technique. Methods were devised for obtaining analogous measurements using CBCT images on the same group of patients.
Measurements obtained using CBCT correlated well with those obtained using the …

Post-irradiation sarcoma is a well-defined complication of radiation therapy, yet few reports document such lesions in the head and neck. A 30-year-old man presented for evaluation of an expansile lesion of the left posterior maxilla. His medical history was significant for a childhood ocular malignancy - unilateral retinoblastoma - which was treated with a combination of surgical enucleation of the eye and external beam radiation therapy. Biopsy of his maxillary lesion revealed a spindle cell malignancy that was morphologically and immunohistochemically consistent with a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. Further investigation into the case revealed that the patient had three children, every …

Air-Rotor Stripping In Orthodontic Treatment - A Literature Review, Udom Thongudomporn
Air-Rotor Stripping In Orthodontic Treatment - A Literature Review, Udom Thongudomporn
Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal
Air-rotor stripping was first introduced as an alternative to extraction or expansion therapy in orthodontic treatment in 1985. Since then, the technique has been variously modified for the improvement of its efficiency and the ease of use. Air-rotor stripping has been claimed to be advantageous for the relief of mild to moderate crowding without sacrificing premolars or violating the original arch dimension. However, the opinions on the drawback of the procedure, such as demineralization of the stripped enamel, periodontal complication, and so on, have been varied. It is suggested that clinicians should take precautions whenever the technique is clinically applied.
