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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of Alpha-Tocopherol Antioxidant on the Bonding Properties of Resin Adhesive to Dentin Bleached with Sodium Perborate
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Previous reports have shown diminished capacity for bonding after bleaching teeth.
Reversal of the bond strengths back to pre-bleached levels can be obtained with application
of 10% alpha-tocopherol in a 2-hour time ...
Influence of Bracket Type Combined with Delayed Light Activation on Bracket-Adhesive Shear Bond Strength
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
This study examined the effect of bracket type and varying delayed polymerization times in combination with bracket manipulation on adhesive temperature change, shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Esthetic Smile Preferences of Dental Professionals
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
This study examined the preferences of esthetic smile characteristics between general
dentists and specialists in orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics using a six item
pilot survey. Characteristics examined ...
Advanced Education Orthodontics Program Curricula Pre- and Post-COVID-19
(2021)
A survey was conducted to investigate faculty numbers across advanced education
orthodontic programs and its association with curriculum, didactic learning, utilization of
distance education, and impact of the COVID-19 ...
Digital Technology and Digital Workflow Application in the Current Landscape of Private Practice Orthodontics
(2021)
This study examined which demographic factors and practice characteristics influence orthodontists to utilize a digital workflow in their private practice, as well as which factors influence their opinions on the current ...
Orthodontists' perceptions of teledentistry and remote dental monitoring in orthodontic treatment
(2021)
The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, to survey orthodontists to determine the clinician demographics and practice characteristics that may influence the utilization of teledentistry and/or remote dental monitoring. ...
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. ...
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 ...
