The Designs Of Miniscrew-Assisted Transpalatal Arch Affect Molar Intrusion, Ornnicha Pooktuantong
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Abstract: An anterior open bite is one of the most difficult malocclusions in orthodontic treatment. For such malocclusion, orthodontic miniscrews insertion into both buccal and palatal alveolar regions has been indicated for molar intrusion, but it involves a risk of tooth root injury. To solve the problem, midpalatal miniscrew-attached extension arm (MMEA) is adopted. However, this method causes palatal tipping of the molar because intrusive loads were applied only from palatal side. Currently, transpalatal arch is added to avoid tipping movement, but it induces patient's discomfort. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the loading conditions for maxillary …

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of brushing on the percentage change of retentive force in Locator R-Tx attachment. There were 3 types of nylon inserts; blue, pink, and clear. The nylon inserts were brushed in 2 media; water and toothpaste. Each group had 6 specimens (n=6). All specimens were soaked in deionized water at 37 ºC for 7 days, after that they were placed in the simulated brushing machine. Before and after they underwent 5,000 brushing cycles, the retention test of each specimen was measured with a universal testing machine. The retentive forces were repeatedly measured 5 times …

Objective: To compare esthetic perception between dentists and laypersons by difference of asymmetrical width and length of maxillary central and lateral incisors under 5 and 15 seconds evaluation time. Materials and Methods: Photos of women were digitally altered by Adobe Photoshop® program to create image with symmetrical and asymmetrical tooth width or length in 0.5 mm increments. Final images were randomly present on computer screen using an equal ratio to actual tooth. Thirty-six dentists and 36 laypersons were asked to rate attractiveness of those smiles on a numerical rating scale within 5 and 15 seconds of evaluation time. Mann-Whitney U …
Effects Of Small Molecules In Wnt Signaling On Human Dental Pulp Cells, Chatvadee Kornsuthisopon
Effects Of Small Molecules In Wnt Signaling On Human Dental Pulp Cells, Chatvadee Kornsuthisopon
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Osteoblast differentiation requires interaction of several cell signaling to coordinately modulate cell responses. Understanding the integration between signaling pathways provides an insight into molecular mechanism that governs stem cell differentiation. Notch, Wnt, and Interleukin15 (IL15) signaling are among the crucial pathways that control biological processes including osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, this dissertation was focused on modulating these signaling pathways in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). First, the roles of Wnt signaling in dental pulp homeostasis and dentin regeneration were reviewed. Previous evidence suggested that Wnt might be a promising target cell signaling for dentin regeneration. Thus, effect of Tideglusib, a …
Amixicile, A Novel Antimicrobial Agent, And Its Effect On The Salivary And Subgingival Microbiome In Rhesus Macaque Monkeys, Erin E. Block
Amixicile, A Novel Antimicrobial Agent, And Its Effect On The Salivary And Subgingival Microbiome In Rhesus Macaque Monkeys, Erin E. Block
Theses and Dissertations
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease with a bacterial etiology in a susceptible host. A selective antibiotic with minimal systemic side effects could be a useful adjunct to traditional periodontal therapy. Amixicile is a novel antimicrobial agent that targets pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR), an enzyme that is critical for anaerobic bacterial metabolism and has been found to have little-to-no side-effects in animal models. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the effect of amixicile on clinical periodontal parameters and the composition of the oral microbiome in rhesus macaque monkeys. It was hypothesized that the amixicile would reduce growth …
