Effect of refrigerant spray on orthodontic composite resin-bracket debond strength and associated adhesive remnant index
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
This study evaluated effects of refrigerant spray and crosshead speed on orthodontic composite resin shear debond strength and Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) after bond failure. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to forty ...
Jaw mechanics and muscle behavior in adolescents with different craniofacial morphologies
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
Jaw mechanics and muscle behavior were evaluated in ten dolichofacial versus ten brachyfacial adolescents. Subjects consented to participate. Numerical modeling predicted TMJ loads for molar biting angles based on minimization ...
Quality and intensity of pain associated with continuously applied orthodontic stresses of relatively high and low magnitudes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-07-21)
The purpose was to assess longitudinally pain intensity and quality during tooth
translation by 2 continuous stresses. Eight subjects (five males, 3 females) who required
maxillary first premolar extractions had maxillary ...
