Electrochemical Properties Of Rhodium-Plated Esthetic Orthodontic Archwires, Michael Hoy
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Objective: Esthetics are becoming more important to patients with increased desire for ceramic brackets as they go through orthodontic treatment. Despite ceramic brackets offering an esthetic option for patients, traditional metal wires are still most commonly being used. Very little research on rhodium plated wires, specifically the American Orthodontics Iconix Aesthetic Arch Wire, exists in the literature with no tests of corrosion through electrochemical testing. The objective of this research is to analyze how rhodium plating affects the electrochemical properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic wires. Methods: Rhodium-plated NiTi orthodontic wires (Iconix Aesthetic; American Orthodontics) and non-plated NiTi orthodontic wires (NT3 …

Comparison Of Shear Bond Strength Of New And Rebonded Symetri™ Clear Ceramic Brackets, Ciara Schwarz
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of the Symetri™ Clear brackets bonded initially to enamel versus after rebonding. An additional aim was to see how a generic debond pliers compares to the Symetri™ Debonding pliers in terms of shear bond strength and bracket morphology after debond. Methods: Sixty extracted premolars and nine extracted canines were collected and stored in 1% Chloramine T solution. The canines were used for a pilot study to test methodology. The premolars were randomly assigned to one of three Groups: Group 1 (single bond), Group 2A (debond with Symetri™ …

The Effects Of Rubber Dam Clamps On Zirconia Crown Restorations, Haley D. Kessler, Albert F. Mcmullen Iii, Hunter Kortum, Edwin Kee, Thomas E. Lallier
School of Dentistry Faculty Publications
Rubber dam isolation is crucial in providing sterility and a controlled environment when performing root canal therapy. Rubber dam clamps have been controversial due to their rigidity and composition, which is thought to cause damage to zirconia full coverage crowns. This study evaluated three types of zirconia crowns anterior 5Y, premolar 4Y, and molar 3Y to assess their resistance to damage from rubber dam clamps. Of the 30 total zirconia crowns that were tested for damage following the usage of rubber dam clamps, no fractures or chips were observed. There was no significant difference between the negative control group, and …

Evaluation Of Different Resin-Based Barriers In Reducing Microleakage In Restoratively Compromised Posterior Teeth During Rubber Dam Isolation: An Ex Vivo Study, Carolina Becerra, Albert F. Mcmullen Iii, Joon Koh, Thomas E. Lallier
School of Dentistry Faculty Publications
Introduction: The rubber dam has been a standard in endodontic practice for over 140 years, providing critical isolation to prevent microbial contamination during root canal therapy. However, studies indicate that microleakage between the rubber dam and tooth structure may still occur, potentially leading to bacterial infiltration. Various resin-based barriers have been introduced to enhance isolation and minimize leakage. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of four resin-based barriers in reducing microleakage during endodontic procedures. Methods: Forty extracted human mandibular molars were selected, stored in distilled water, and standardized for experimental conditions. Standard endodontic access was created, and the mesiobuccal …

Extension For Insurance And Patient Conflict Prevention, Richard Sherman
SFDDA Newsletter
In 1891, G.V. Black presented the idea of “Extension for Prevention.” The concept was to complete a restoration so that the margins and occlusal grooves were treated in such a way as to “prevent” further carious involvement. Hopefully his technique prevented millions of teeth from needing retreatment. However, dealing with humans and sometimes their “lack” of proper oral hygiene habits, new carious lesions do appear on the same teeth in the same or different areas, This article examines the conflict occurring between insurance coverage and the patient when experiencing a new caries on a previously restored tooth.

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to a mammalian sugar molecule introduced through tick bites. With rising U.S. diagnoses, dentists must recognize AGS symptoms and understand its implications. Many dental medications and materials contain mammalian-derived ingredients, requiring providers to adapt treatment plans and remain vigilant for delayed allergic responses in undiagnosed patients.

Comparing Gutta Percha Backfill Leakage Over Multiple Heating Cycles, Hannah Battle, Thomas E. Lallier, Landon Boenke, Albert F. Mcmullen Iii
School of Dentistry Faculty Publications
Introduction: Warm vertical compaction of gutta-percha is a commonly used obturation technique due to the material’s thermoplastic properties. However, gutta-percha in backfill systems is often heated, cooled, and reheated multiple times before use, potentially altering its physical properties. This study investigated whether repeated heat cycling affects the sealing ability of gutta-percha, as measured by coronal dye leakage. Methods: Forty extracted single-rooted human teeth were cleaned, shaped, and randomly divided into four groups (n = 10) based on the number of heating cycles the gutta-percha underwent prior to obturation: Group A (1 cycle), Group B (3 cycles), Group C (5 cycles), …
