Effect of Radiotherapy on Nano-Mechanical Properties and Chemical Composition of Tooth Enamel and Dentin
(2015)
The purpose of this study was to understand radiotherapy-induced dental lesions characterized by enamel delamination near the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ) by evaluating enamel and dentin nano-mechanical properties and ...
Survey of Kansas and Missouri General Dentists Identifying Periodontal Referral Patterns
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
This investigation surveyed general dentists from Kansas and Missouri to identify
factors which may impact how likely they are to refer to periodontists. The web-based
survey probed areas of clinician demographics, ...
Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Mandibular Overdentures Supported by Mini-Implants
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
This study examined the effect of using two anterior denture-supporting mini
implants (mIMP2) compared to four (two anterior and two posterior) denture-supporting
mini-implants (mIMP4) on the stress experienced by the ...
Effect of Final Irrigation on Sealer-Dentin Interface for a Methacrylate-Based Resin Sealer
(2015)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different final irrigation technique
(removing or not removing demineralized collagen) in combination with controlled intracanal
residual moisture level (dry or ...
The Effect of Resection on the Sealer-Dentin Interface in Roots Obturated with Tricalcium Silicate Sealer: A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and India Ink Penetration In Vitro Pilot Study
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Anatomical considerations may limit access to teeth for root-end preparation and
root-end filling. Having the canal pretreated and filled with a calcium silicate based filling
material, apical surgery can be limited ...
Effects Of Delayed Polymerization Time and Bracket Manipulation on Orthodontic Resin Modified Glass Ionomer AdhesiveEffects of delayed polymerizat[i]on time and bracket manipulation on orthodontic resin modified glass ionomer adhesive
(2015)
This study examined the effect of varying delayed polymerization times in combination with bracket manipulation on shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score when using a ...
Knowledge of Dental Students with Respect to Orthodontic Diagnosis and Clear Aligner Therapy
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The purpose of this project was to investigate how prepared dental students are to
diagnose orthodontic problems and provide clear aligner therapy, and whether or not certain
demographic characteristics could predict an ...
Isopropyl alcohol to counteract effects of freezing on extended-storage alginates
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-07-08)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of freezing and isopropyl alcohol
(IA) on two extended-storage alginates. Impressions were made of a custom stainless steel
model of known dimensions and stored for ...
The Use of Digital Study Models and Perceptions Towards Existing Digital Model Software in Orthodontic Practice
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The purpose of this project was to determine what demographic factors, if any, lead to private
practice orthodontists creating digital models and then taking the additional step of using these
models in treatment ...
Knowledge of Dental Students with Respect to Orthodontic Diagnosis and Clear Aligner Therapy in Conjunction with a Study of Predoctoral Orthodontic Curricula
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The purpose of this project was to explore the attitude and knowledge of
dental students with respect to orthodontic diagnosis and clear aligner therapy and
to investigate the predoctoral orthodontic curriculum at their ...
