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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 Study of Initiation Systems and Formulations for the Development of a Novel Silorane Biomaterial
(2015)
There are approximately one million hip and knee replacements each year in the
United States alone and over 70% are cemented for stabilization. The number of these
replacements is expected to rise to 3.5 million per year ...
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 ...
Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint
(2013)
Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains ...
Voluntary teeth clenching during exercise in a natural environment: prevalence and gender differences
(2013)
Background/Objectives: Voluntary teeth clenching (VTC) has been researched with respect to performance enhancement, but little evidence has verified its prevalence. This study's objective was to determine if VTC occurred ...
Evaluating the quality and efficacy of care provided by extended care permit dental hygienists in a school based dental home
