A Comparison Of Overbite Relapse To Age, Interincisal Angle And Lower Face Height In Class Ii Deepbite Cases, James E. Macalpine
A Comparison Of Overbite Relapse To Age, Interincisal Angle And Lower Face Height In Class Ii Deepbite Cases, James E. Macalpine
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Patients with deep skeletal or dental bites before treatment have been noted to have a greater tendency towards relapsing to this deepbite following orthodontic treatment than do patients whose malocclusion showed a more ideal overbite relationship before treatment.
This study utilized patients selected from Rocky Mountain Data Systems for their deepbite trends. Three areas were compared to overbite relapse, 1) age, 2) interincisal angle 3) lower face height.
Results of this study indicate that overbite cases that have the most problems in retention were skeletal deepbites. This study also indicates that there was no disadvantage to early treatment, that the …
The Prediction Of Circumferential Tooth Measurements As An Aid In Orthodontic Banding, Roland D. W. Neufeld
The Prediction Of Circumferential Tooth Measurements As An Aid In Orthodontic Banding, Roland D. W. Neufeld
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A correlation was established among the circumferential measurements of the teeth in a given individual. The maxillary central incisor was selected as the predictor tooth to predict the remaining teeth in the set. The circumferences of the teeth were predicted within + two band sizes 69% of the time. Agreement in prediction percentages was found using measurements taken intraorally.
Growth Augmentation With Activators, John R. Sibley
Growth Augmentation With Activators, John R. Sibley
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This research was performed to determine if bony changes could be effected by activator treatment and how stable this treatment is.
From a sample of twenty-seven cases with before activator treatment cephalometric radiographs. Rocky Mountain Data Systems provided growth projections, with and without edgewise treatment, for the period of time each patient was in treatment. These forecasts were compared to the post-treatment cephalograms to analyze the orthopedic effects of activator treatment with normal growth and with edgewise therapy.
Nine of the twenty-seven case treated sample responded to recall for post-treatment cephalograms and were analyzed for relapse.
It was apparent that …
