Designing Biomimetic Implant Surfaces To Promote Osseointegration Under Osteoporotic Conditions By Revitalizing Mechanisms Coupling Bone Resorption To Formation, Ethan M. Lotz

Theses and Dissertations

In cases of compromised bone remodeling like osteoporosis, insufficient osseointegration occurs and results in implant failure. Implant retention relies on proper secondary fixation, which is developed during bone remodeling. This process is disrupted in metastatic bone diseases like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized low bone mass and bone strength resulting from either accelerated osteoclast-mediated bone resorption or impaired osteoblast-mediated bone formation. These two processes are not independent phenomena. In fact, osteoporosis can be viewed as a breakdown of the cellular communication connecting bone resorption to bone formation. Because bone remodeling occurs at temporally generated specific anatomical sites and at different times, …

An Exploration Of Public Misconceptions Of Municipal Water Fluoridation Relating To Oral And Public Health, Thomas A. Hawkins

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Municipal water fluoridation began in 1945, and in the past 70 years, it appears to have decreased the rate of dental caries nationwide. Despite being deemed one of the top ten innovations of the 20th century, there continues to be misconceptions with this controversial practice. The intent of this thesis is to address some of the misconceptions with water fluoridation, and what possible solutions could be provided to alleviate the concerns. This was accomplished through a literature review of current research articles. Two main topics were explored: the public health and oral health concerns and how they contribute to the …

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

Background

Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in the US and disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities. Caries is heritable, and though genetic heterogeneity exists between ancestries for a substantial portion of loci associated with complex disease, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of caries specifically in African Americans has not been performed previously.

Methods

We performed exploratory GWAS of dental caries in 109 African American adults (age > 18) and 96 children (age 3–12) from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA1 cohort). Caries phenotypes (DMFS, DMFT, dft, and dfs indices) assessed by dental exams were tested for association …

Temporomandibular Joint Function After Orthognathic Surgery, Aikaterini Kleopatra Aslanidou

All ETDs from UAB

Orthognathic surgery has 3 basic goals: function, esthetics and stability. The relationship between orthognathic surgery and temporomandibular joint function remains highly controversial. Regarding the functional changes and range of mandibular movements after surgery, mandibular hypomobility and other signs and symptoms of joint dysfunction are associated with orthognathic surgery in the literature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the function of the temporomandibular joints at lest 6 months after orthognathic surgery and compare them with non-surgical subjects. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in subjective symptoms reported by the subjects and clinical evaluation of the range …

Comparison Between Hybrid Cbct And Cbct In Detection Of Vertical Root Fracture, Nantida Rueangweerayut

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) has been wildly used in many fields of dentistry, especially to investigate the vertical root fracture (VRF). CBCT systems were consisted of various field of view (FOV). As for high cost and large machine size, newly designed of CBCT systems started to develop by combining digital panoramic radiographs with a relatively small-to-medium FOV CBCT system. These new model of CBCT systems was called hybrid CBCT. The aims of this study is to compare the difference in detection of VRF by a hybrid CBCT and a CBCT. For this, forty permanent mandibular premolar teeth were endodontically …

Background: Recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) are common painful inflammatory lesions of the mucous lining of the mouth. Endocan, previously identified as endothelial cell specific molecule-1, is implicated as a vital player in the regulation of several inflammatory processes. A number of inflammatory cytokines and pro-angiogenic growth factors including VEGF upregulate endothelial cells synthesis and expression of endocan. Material and Methods: Clinical scores of pain and ulcer size as well as level of endocan and VEGF were determined in swaps from aphthous ulcer and contra lateral normal mucosa in 30 patients (nine males and twenty one females) with age ranging from …

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: Reforming Organized Dentistry To Address Persistent Oral Health Disparities In The U.S., Aparna Chintapalli

Pomona Senior Theses

The importance of oral health has been largely neglected from the conventional standards of healthcare in terms of public understanding & prioritization, the industrial infrastructure, and the scope of prevention & early-intervention services. Its adjunctive locus to the field of medicine has lead to the bifurcation of the oral cavity from the rest of the human body. As a result of this divide, there have been multiple factors that have allowed socially stratified oral health outcomes to manifest. This thesis examines the determinants of oral health disparities through a multidisciplinary lens (i.e. biology, public policy, infrastructure), and offers evidence of …

Orthodontic Correction Of Transposed Maxillary Canine And First Premolar In Mixed Dentition, Lan-Tien Lin, Yi-Min Liu, Yuen-Yung Tsang

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

Transposition is rare and occurred commonly on maxillary canine and premolar. To extract or not to extract, to correct or not to correct the dental transposition teeth, it’s a tough decision. A 12-year-old boy was referred for orthodontic correction because of bad alignment at upper dentition. His dental age was in late mixed dentition. Both upper deciduous canines were still retained. Left canine was buccally blocked-out, and first premolar was in palatal crossbite with the lower premolars. Panoramic film showed impacted upper right canine and transposed left canine and first premolar. The treatment duration took 3.5 years. The upper left …

To Do Or Not To Do? Slow Orthodontic Extrusion For Implant Site Development In Esthetic Zone At The Anterior Maxilla, Hui-Chen Tsai, Chung-Chen Jane Yao, Cheing-Meei Liu

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

Slow orthodontic extrusion (SOE) for implant site development, was introduced in 1991. It has been more than 20 years since this treatment was applied in our clinical practice. In this paper, we investigate surgeon's expectation of SOE for special requirements of immediate implantation by a clinical case. We also review case reports/case series searched from PubMed and inspect the power of evidence of these reports from the integration of data collection, and try to define the value of SOE. If the SOE cannot eliminate at least one surgical procedure, we need to consider the necessity of SOE before implant surgery.
