Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The morphologic characteristics of the oral cavity in five contemporary Western Indian and Alaskan Eskimo groups have been investigated by the use of study models of the dental archs. The sample consisted of 216 individuals, including 44 Navajos, 43 Apaches, 40 Papagos, 42 Pimas and 47 Alaskan Eskimos.

The first purpose of the study was to determine the extent of investigator error.

A simple of thirty subjects, seventeen boys and thirteen girls, with a mean age of 18.3 years was selected for this study. The criteria for selection was based on the integrity of the dental arches, occlusion and tooth morphology. Plaster casts and cephalometric x-rays …


The Efficacy Of A Limited Clinical Undergraduate Orthodontic Program, Benjamin H. Robson Jun 1963

The Efficacy Of A Limited Clinical Undergraduate Orthodontic Program, Benjamin H. Robson

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

One of the major and long standing problems in undergraduate education has been the operation and maintenance of an efficient orthodontic clinic.

Literature based on the history of undergraduate orthodontic clinics, as well as of previous investigations into their operations was reviewed. Little if any, specific recorded information could be found.

The specific purpose of this investigation was to inspect the elements of and the accomplishments of a specific undergraduate orthodontic clinic. The efficacy was based upon an investigation along two avenues of study: (1) A complete review of all case histories and records for an analysis of the nature …
