Resorbable Barrier Effect In Sinus Graft Using Anorganic Bone, Kyung-Soo Choi
Resorbable Barrier Effect In Sinus Graft Using Anorganic Bone, Kyung-Soo Choi
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The effect of a resorbable membrane on new bone formation in human maxillary sinus augmentation using anorganic bovine material is unclear at the present time. As a pilot study, six patients who required bilateral maxillary sinus augmentations for endoessous dental implant treatment were grafted with anorganic bovine bone material. All six patients had a resorbable collagen membrane placed over the graft material on only one side for the sinus augmentation. At the time of implant placement, a minimum of 8 months following sinus graft healing, a biopsy was made of each side to permit histomorphometric analysis.

Variability In Selecting Lateral Cephalometric Landmarks In Two Cbct Image Modes, Dana Nguyen
Variability In Selecting Lateral Cephalometric Landmarks In Two Cbct Image Modes, Dana Nguyen
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the variability of lateral cephalometric landmark selection in two cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) lateral cephalometric simulations: 1) a mean projection image (MPI) and 2) a serial sagittal slice image (SSSI).
Methods: A MPI is a two-dimensional (2D) image obtained from the NewTom 3GTM CBCT that resembles the conventional lateral cephalogram. A SSSI is a 2D image also obtained from CBCT data, but is created by superimposing a series of selected thin sagittal slices containing the required cephalometric landmarks. This study compared the Ricketts and Steiner analysis of the MPI …
Adolescent Craniofacial Morphology Associated With Degenerative Joint Disease, Byron Diehl
Adolescent Craniofacial Morphology Associated With Degenerative Joint Disease, Byron Diehl
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this retrospective research was to evaluate the association of degenerative joint disease (DJD) on the skeletal and dental patterns of affected adolescent individuals. The T1 lateral cephalometric radiographs of 48 subjects were reviewed, consisting of 18 subjects with DJD and 25 subjects without DJD. The age of subjects ranged between 10 - 17 years with a mean age of 13 years. Linear and angular cephalometric measurements were taken to evaluate the skeletal, denture base and dental characteristics of the two groups. Overall, there were 24 variables chosen to represent the cranial base, maxillary jaw position, mandibular jaw …
Implant Success In Distracted Bone Versus Autogenous Bone-Grafted Sites, Jeffrey Allan Elo
Implant Success In Distracted Bone Versus Autogenous Bone-Grafted Sites, Jeffrey Allan Elo
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Endosseous implants are the treatment of choice for restoring function and reconstructing edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible. Alveolar defects can be reconstructed by either distraction osteogenesis or autogenous bone grafting. After alveolar reconstruction, endosseous implants are used to support and retain the prosthesis for restoration of form and function. We retrospectively analyzed the success rates of endosseous implant placement in distracted versus autogenous bone graft reconstruction sites in our patient population at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. 82 consecutive patients requiring alveolar augmentation prior to implant placement were evaluated. All patients were …

Shear Strengths Of Three "One-Step" Self-Etching Dental Bonding Agents, Jeff G. Alcaide
Shear Strengths Of Three "One-Step" Self-Etching Dental Bonding Agents, Jeff G. Alcaide
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Objective: To compare the dentin shear bond strength of three self-etching bonding agents with that of a conventional total-etch bonding system.
Materials & Method: Extracted third molars (120) were fixed in 10% formalin and randomly divided into eight groups of 15 specimens each. The specimens were mounted in acrylic resin and the surface ground to expose superficial dentin. A standardized smear layer was created by polishing the surfaces with wet 600-grit silicon carbide paper. Each adhesive system was placed on the specimen surface according to the manufacturers' instructions. The specimen then was mounted onto a standardized jig and light cured. …
