Clear aligners provide a convenient model to measure orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). We examined the role of in vivo aligner material fatigue and subject-specific factors movement. Fifteen subjects seeking treatment at University Florida were enrolled. Results compared with data previously collected from 37 enrolled similar protocol. Subjects followed prospectively for eight weeks. An upper central incisor was programmed move 0.5 mm. every two weeks using clear aligners. A duplicate...
This study compared the accuracy of three imaging modalities for detection artificially induced vertical root fractures (VRF) on teeth in cadaver mandibles. Fifty‐four single‐rooted, endodontically treated mandibular being prepared to carry posts were evaluated using direct digital radiography (DDI) with a Schick sensor, unprocessed Tuned Aperture Computed Tomography ® (TACT‐U) images and iteratively restored TACT (TACT‐IR) images. Twenty‐eight these had been subjected fracture induction an...
Objective . To define the presence and prevalence of incidental findings in around base skull from large field-of-view CBCT maxillofacial region to determine their clinical importance. Methods Four hundred consecutive fields view scans viewed January 1, 2007, 2014, were retrospectively evaluated for cervical vertebrae surrounding structures. Findings categorized into vertebrae, intracranial, soft tissue, airway, carotid artery, lymph node, findings. Results A total 653 identified 309 400...
This study compared the diagnostic efficacy of Kodak Ektaspeed Plus film, Insight a newly introduced E/F–speed and Schick CMOS–APS digital sensor, with respect to caries detection in 92 proximal surfaces extracted unrestored teeth, 51 which were carious. Ground truth was evaluated histologically lesions classified as enamel or dentinal. Eight observers read radiographs using five–point confidence rating scale record their diagnoses. Analyses receiver operating characteristic curves revealed...
This study compared the diagnostic efficacy of four imaging modalities for detection artificially induced recurrent caries: intraoral film, direct digital bitewing images, tuned apertuce computed tomography (TACT) slices and iteratively restored TACT images using an in vitro model. Twenty-four posterior teeth were prepared MOD inlay restorations. These then with different restorative materials (amalgam, Herculite Durafill). Lesions simulated half number surfaces studied. lesions created...
Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola are periodontal pathogens that express virulence factors associated with the pathogenesis of periodontitis. In this paper we tested hypothesis P. T. synergistic in terms virulence; using a model mixed microbial infection rats. Groups rats were orally infected either or infections for 7 12 weeks. genomic DNA was detected more frequently by PCR than . Both bacteria induced significantly high IgG, IgG2b, IgG1, IgG2a antibody levels indicating...
Oral Diseases (2010) 16, 686–695 Objective: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that periodontal pathogens Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis are synergistic in terms of virulence potential using a model mixed-microbial infection rats. Materials methods: Three groups rats were infected orally with either T. or P. mono-bacterial infections as for 12 weeks sham-infected group used control. examined bacterial infection, inflammation, immunity, alveolar bone loss...
