Influence of suture technique on ridge dimensions and keratinized tissue after alveolar ridge preservation: a pilot study
(2020)The alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) procedure was designed to minimize bone loss following tooth extraction to allow for implant placement in the prosthetically-driven position, and reduce the need for subsequent grafting ... -
Association of Nasal Septum Area and Deviation with Anteroposterior Maxillary Position and Facial Skeletal Asymmetries
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)During growth of the craniofacial structure, the nasal septum is posited to exert a downward and forward effect on the midface. This phenomena is well documented in vitro and on animals but is still uncertain in humans. ... -
Influence of Orthodontic Bracket Bonding Protocol on Zirconia Ceramics and Resulting Bond Strength, Adhesive Remnant, and Debonded-Polished Zirconia Surface Roughness
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of primer protocol for metal orthodontic brackets bonded to zirconia ceramic and resulting shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and debonded and polished ... -
The Effect of Simulated Oral Conditions on Surface Roughness and Friction Properties of Surface-treated and Non-surface Treated Nickel-Titanium Archwires: A Pilot Study
This study examined the effect of simulated oral conditions (storage in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with bracket-related load deflection at 37±1°C for 12 weeks) on surface-treated and non-surface treated NiTi archwires. ... -
Esthetic smile preferences when considering age
This study examined general dentists’ preferences for esthetic smile characteristics based on age and gender of the dentist and the simulated patient using a 16-item survey. Smile characteristics evaluated were smile line, ... -
Estrogen Regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin Pathway in Osteocytes in Response to Mechanical Loading
Osteoporosis is a major health concern, especially for women who are peri- and post-menopausal. During this time, estrogen levels dramatically decline followed by a subsequent loss of bone density, which increases risk of ... -
Age and Gender Effects on Strain Response and Biomechanical Performance of C57BL/6 Mice
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease resulting in low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue. It causes a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. This age-related ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Highly Filled Light-Cured Resin Sealant on Bracket Shear Bond Strength in Demineralization Conditions
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)This study examined the effect of a highly filled light-cured sealant (HFLCS) on bracket shear bond strength and subsequent adhesive remnant index (ARI) following exposure to cariogenic challenge. Specimens were divided ... -
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 ... -
Coated and Uncoated Nickel-Titanium Archwires: Mechanical Property and Surface Topography Response to a Simulated Oral Environment with and without Bracket-Related Load Deflection Induced Stress
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)This study examined the effect of exposure to bracket-related load deflection on the mechanical properties and surface characteristics of esthetic coated and uncoated nickel titanium archwires. Two types of coated ... -
