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 …

Soft Tissue Profile Prediction: An Evaluation Of Methods, Roger H. Zierenberg Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Forty cases demonstrating at least 3 mm of lingual movement of the upper incisors were analyzed to determine the soft-tissue prediction accuracy of the Holdaway and the Ricketts methods. Initial analysis was performed by comparing predictions based on pre-treatment cephalometric tracings to post-treatment tracings. Lack of congruency was considered error and statistical analysis followed. The Ricketts method was shown to be superior for upper lip prediction on the combined 40 cases. Neither method proved superior in predicting the lower lip.

Further analysis involved segregating the cases according to individual functional lip abnormalities and again comparing the two methods for accuracy. …

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.

The Treatment Timing Of Dolicofacial, Retrognathic Facial Patterns, George B. Clarke Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The general consensus among orthodontists today is that the dolicofacial, retrognathic patient can present one of the most challenging problems for conventional orthodontic therapy. It is often stated that many of these patients will have more mandibular opening rotation during orthodontic treatment than the mesofacial or brachyfacial patient. This opening rotation is compounded when the use of cervical traction and Class 11 mechanics are incorporated into the treatment plan. Because of the problems involved with the treatment of these types of patients, it has been suggested in the literature that there may be an ideal age to start orthodontic therapy …

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 …
