Intentional Implantation Of Pins In The Dental Pulp Under Clinical Conditions, George C. Abraham May 1972

Intentional Implantation Of Pins In The Dental Pulp Under Clinical Conditions, George C. Abraham

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This research project was directed toward the study of the histological response of human teeth to the intentional implantation of threaded stainless steel gold-plated pins.

Many different types of pins are currently used in several aspects of restorative and periodontal dentistry. In some cases there may be unintentional perforation of the dental pulp. In other cases it may be advantageous to purposely perforate the pulp for added retention.

The purpose of this research is to determine the reaction, possibilities and prognosis of such a technique under clinical conditions.

The teeth used for experimental and control groups were those recommended for …


Location And Relationships Of The Axes Governing Mandibular Condylar Movements : An Anatomical Research, Jean-Michel Cottè Aug 1969

Location And Relationships Of The Axes Governing Mandibular Condylar Movements : An Anatomical Research, Jean-Michel Cottè

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A practical method of research on cadaver specimen heads was designed from a systematic review of the existing literature in order to differentiate from conjecture the experimental proof of the axes of rotation of the condyles during mandibular border movements.

An anatomo-physiological study on eight human cadaver heads, using the gnathologic technique of Dr. R. Lee for recording mandibular movements, was done to study the intimate mechanism of the temporomandibular joints, with the hope of contributing support to this new method of recording.

It was established that rotational mandibular border movements are induced by hard structure topography of the temporomandibular …


An Anthropometric Study Of The Face And Dentition Of The Apache Indian Population At The Stewart Indian School, Garold D. Becker May 1966

An Anthropometric Study Of The Face And Dentition Of The Apache Indian Population At The Stewart Indian School, Garold D. Becker

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Cephalometric and dental morphology records were obtained from forty-three contemporary Apache Indian subjects (living at the Stewart Boarding School for Indians, Carson City, Nevada) to study the cranial, facial, skeletal and dentitional patterns and compare discriminately to other contemporary North American Indian groups: Pima, Papago, Mayo and Chamula. Materials on other Indian tribes considered were obtained from studies completed at Loma Linda University. The data obtained from dental morphology analysis of the Apache Indian subjects was com pared to the Mongoloid Master Pattern (1-4) as described by Moorrees (1957).

The contemporary Apache Indian conformed to the Mongoloid Master Pattern for …


The Physical Properties Of Dental Amalgam With Special Reference To The Eames Technic, Eugene Darwin Voth May 1963

The Physical Properties Of Dental Amalgam With Special Reference To The Eames Technic, Eugene Darwin Voth

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to make an evaluation of a dental amalgam technic using one part mercury to one part alloy, which is known as the Eames technic.

The study consisted of a comparison of various physical properties of dental amalgam using the Eames technic, and the conventional technic for handling amalgam. Special dies were made for preparing the specimens as well as special equipment for testing the specimens.

Trituration of the alloy was done both by mechanical triturators and by hand trituration. The specimens were condensed by hand using a manudynomometer so that all specimens were packed …
