Class Ii Deep Bite Malocclusion Corrected By Two-Stage Approach, Meng-Yun Tsai, Wei-Ting Tseng, Li-Fang Hsu, Kelvin Wen-Chung Chang, Jenny Zwei-Chieng Chang, Eddie Hsiang-Hua Lai

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

In Class II deep-bite malocclusions with growth potential, we could combine orthodontic treatment with orthopedic methods to achieve stable occlusion. The case was a 12-year-old male presented with Class II malocclusion, deep-bite, and low mandibular plane angle. In the stage I treatment, headgear was used to restrict the growth of maxilla. Bilateral Class III molar relationship was gained. After re-evaluation, stage II treatment was started from full mouth banding and bonding, with emphasis on leveling lower curve of Spee and intruding lower anterior teeth by placing reverse curve of Spee in the archwire and intrusive arch to solve the deep …

Long-Term Observation Of Orthodontic Management And Facial Growth On A Patient With Familial Cleidocranial Dysplasia, Chung-Yi Ho, Ellen Wen-Ching Ko, Cheng-Hui Lin

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

The orthodontic management of patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is challenging, which takes a long treatment duration and observation to follow the progress. The completion of treatment is usually not finished until growth completion. This case describes the long-term stage treatment of a 22-year-old female presented with familial CCD. The first stage orthodontic treatment was separated into two phases including surgical exposure of the anterior and posterior teeth, respectively. Extraction of the delayed exfoliated deciduous incisors and supernumerary teeth to clear the eruption path of the submerged permanent anterior teeth was started at her age of 8. The impacted anterior …

Correction Of Skeletal Class Iii Malocclusion With Four Missing Premolars By Surgery-First Approach, Yi-Bo Huang, Chia-Yi Pan, Yu-Ling Cheng, Shih-Wei Pan

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

A 21-year-old female with severe concave profile and prominent chin came for surgical-orthodontic consultation. The patient had missing of four premolars which became intricate with extremely lingual inclined incisors and over-developed mandible. The surgery first approach (SFA) was adopted to correct the skeletal factors at the early stage. The pre-adjusted orthodontic bracket system was applied to normalize the torque of the teeth afterward. The capacities of anterior root-torquing auxiliary wire (ART) and multiple-loop edgewise archwire (MEAW) will be discussed, accordingly. The progress records showed remarkable improvement of profile and occlusion. The change of upper incisor show was also discussed. The …

The Effect Of Occlusal Pressure On Vertical Force Generation On Dentate And Edentulous Subjects, Matthew Thomas Harper

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Objectives: To determine 1) the difference in lower extremity power obtained from a vertical jump in individuals who are dentate or edentulous (implants or dentures) and 2) the difference occlusal pressure makes on lower body force output. Variables included jump height, maximum kicking force, maximum push off force, take off velocity, flight time, jump impulse, and maximum velocity. Groups included dentate, implant overdenture, and conventional denture.

Methods: Counter movement jumping with force plate collection was utilized to test the three populations in this study. The three populations were dentate, mandibular implant overdenture opposing maxillary complete denture, and conventional maxillary and …

Effect Of Shear Bond Strength With Novel Apc™ Flash-Free Brackets And Different Bonding Protocol: An In Vitro Study, Carl Bernstein

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Background and Objectives: In today’s time, there is an increasingly crowded field of competition vying over a small subset of the population. Now, more than ever it is imperative to compete with efficiency and esthetics. Each step for orthodontic bonding procedures increases the chance for error to occur. However, orthodontic bracket, etchant, sealant, and adhesive material has the ability to improve bond strength and final outcome for the patient and provider. The aim of this study was to determine effective bonding protocols for Advanced Clarity APC™ Flash-Free Brackets and to determine if adhesive remains on enamel or orthodontic bracket after …

A Needs Assessment: The Barriers Preventing Students At A Large Midwestern University From Accessing The Dental Clinic On Campus For Preventative Care, Pamela Briese

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Preventive maintenance and dental care for college students is just as important now as it was when they were living with their parents, but even though colleges have been offering campus-based medical care to their students for many years, oral health care has not been included in this health prevention effort. Because of the impact that oral health has on the overall health and well-being of college students, and in following the Healthy People 2020 Oral health goal to “Prevent and control oral and craniofacial diseases, conditions, and injuries, and improve access to preventive services and dental care” (HP2020), this …

Dentistry: Are Stem Cells The Future?, Tova Zemel

The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences

Stem cell research is currently advancing in every area of medicine. New information about regenerating stem cells is being uncovered on a daily basis. An area of stem cells that has not been focused on until recently is the use of dental stem cells. The objective of this paper is to elucidate the most current research about dental stem cells. Much of what is discussed in this paper has not been implemented yet, and is still in clinical trials. Dental stem cells are important because they could be an alternative way of treating caries, performing root canals, and other traumas …

Designing Biomimetic Implant Surfaces To Promote Osseointegration Under Osteoporotic Conditions By Revitalizing Mechanisms Coupling Bone Resorption To Formation, Ethan M. Lotz

Theses and Dissertations

In cases of compromised bone remodeling like osteoporosis, insufficient osseointegration occurs and results in implant failure. Implant retention relies on proper secondary fixation, which is developed during bone remodeling. This process is disrupted in metastatic bone diseases like osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized low bone mass and bone strength resulting from either accelerated osteoclast-mediated bone resorption or impaired osteoblast-mediated bone formation. These two processes are not independent phenomena. In fact, osteoporosis can be viewed as a breakdown of the cellular communication connecting bone resorption to bone formation. Because bone remodeling occurs at temporally generated specific anatomical sites and at different times, …

An Exploration Of Public Misconceptions Of Municipal Water Fluoridation Relating To Oral And Public Health, Thomas A. Hawkins

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Municipal water fluoridation began in 1945, and in the past 70 years, it appears to have decreased the rate of dental caries nationwide. Despite being deemed one of the top ten innovations of the 20th century, there continues to be misconceptions with this controversial practice. The intent of this thesis is to address some of the misconceptions with water fluoridation, and what possible solutions could be provided to alleviate the concerns. This was accomplished through a literature review of current research articles. Two main topics were explored: the public health and oral health concerns and how they contribute to the …
