▼ Hypothesis: Augmentation of a mandibular advancement oral appliance (OA) by pharmacotherapy (ondansetron+fluoxetine) will increase
therapeutic efficacy in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) patients.
Methods: Fifteen subjects met inclusion criteria and were enrolled.
Subjects with moderate-severe OSA were treated with a TAP3 Elite® OA
plus placebo medication for two weeks, followed by a combination
regimen of ondansetron (24 mg/day) and fluoxetine (10 mg/day) with
continued use of the OA for four weeks.
Results: Seven subjects (5 male and 2 female, BMI 39.1±6.6) completed
the study. AHI OA + Medications (22.1±16.3) was lower than the AHI
baseline (31.7±11.2). Sleep efficiency and oxygen desaturation indices
improved. Subjective (ESS) and objective (PVT) daytime sleepiness
showed improvement. Mean total airway volume at end inspiration
increased by 35% with OA compared to without OA. Minimum cross
sectional area (CSA) increased by 48.8% with OA compared to without
OA
Conclusions: Combination of pharmacotherapy and oral appliance maybe a viable option in treating patients with moderate to severe OSA.

▼ Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the effects that cervical pull and high pull headgear have on the vertical dimension in class II, division I patients. Methods: Pre- and post- treatment cephalometric radiographs of children who have undergone class II division I correction with cervical-pull or high-pull headgear were analyzed for the measurements which describe the changes in the vertical component of growth and mandibular position. The groups were matched for age, treatment time, malocclusion, and similar skeletal features.
Results: Treatment with cervical pull headgear resulted in less of an increase in measurements which describe the vertical dimension than high pull headgear. Cervical pull headgear controls the vertical dimension of facial growth better than high pull headgear. IRB protocol number: 2013-1148.

▼ Since its introduction to the orthodontic field in the 1970s, Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) has become the predominant material for the initial leveling and aligning phase of orthodontic treatment. The alloy’s ability to reversibly transform between two lattice structures determines the material’s properties, and thus, its clinical practicality. This transformation occurs as a result of a change in ambient temperature or in the area of a locally applied stress. The range of temperatures over which Ni-Ti transforms from one lattice structure to the other is called its transformation temperature range (TTR). Consequently, TTR is largely responsible for the clinical application of Ni-Ti.
The aim of this study was to examine how varying levels of strain affected the transformation temperature of two brands of Ni-Ti archwires using the bend and free recovery (BFR) method. Strain was altered in this study by two different techniques. The first technique was by varying the diameter of the mandrel over which the Ni-Ti wire was bent, where a smaller diameter mandrel results in a higher strain placed on the archwire. The second technique of varying wire strain was by bending two different dimensions of wires over the same size mandrel, where a larger wire results in a higher strain placed on the archwire. Additionally, the manufacturer-reported transformation temperatures of the wires were compared to the transformation temperatures obtained in this study.
The results demonstrated that TTR values are affected by strain. Increased strain resulted in increased transformation temperature values and decreased range. While this was the trend for increased strain whether by decreasing mandrel diameter or increasing wire size, one company did not have similar results when strain was increased by increasing wire dimension. This may have been a result of only testing two production lots. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference between the obtained values in this study and those reported by the manufacturers.

▼ Hypotheses: 1. There is no mean difference in study variables between surgical and non-surgical subjects based on Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) and Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD) risk. 2. There is no relationship between cephalometric variables and response to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) as measured by change in PSQ scores. Objective: To investigate the difference in study variables between surgical and non-surgical pediatric subjects with SRBD after RME treatment. Methods: Subjects were referred to an orthodontist by ENT physicians due to airway/sleep-related symptoms and treated with RME. Lateral cephalograms were taken at baseline. PSQs were administered to caregivers at baseline and again after RME removal to measure subjects’ response to treatment. Subjects were divided into two groups: surgical - had tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) performed (n=15), and non-surgical - did not have T&A performed (n=43). The subjects were further classified into subgroups positive responders and non-responders based on PSQ scores and the percentage change in the score from baseline. Results: Independent Student’s t-tests indicated statistically significant mean differences in the cephalometric variables ANB(°), PAS(mm), and PNS-ad2(mm) between the two study groups non-surgical positive responders (n=37) and surgical positive responders (n=13). Statistically significant mean differences were also found in the variables facial axis(°) and PAS(mm) between high-risk non-surgical positive responders (n=14) and high-risk surgical positive responders (n=9). The Pearson correlation test did not show a statistically significant correlation between any of the cephalometric variables and the percentage change in the total PSQ-SRBD score from baseline. Conclusions: Positive responders who had undergone T&A had higher mean ANB, lower mean PAS, and higher mean PNS-ad2 measurements. For SRBD high-risk positive responders, those who had undergone T&A had lower mean facial axis and PAS measurements. Baseline cephalometric variables may be employed as a screening tool in determining response to RME. Funding: N/A IRB protocol: 2017-0111

▼ Purpose: This is a retrospective study to evaluate initial (T1), final (T2) and long-term follow-up (T3) lateral cephalograms and dental study models of 42 growing patients that received orthodontic treatment using Tandem Mechanics. The objectives were to evaluate the soft tissue profile and incisor angulation changes of Class I and Class II children treated with this nonextraction modality and to compare the changes to age-matched and malocclusion-matched control groups. Methods: The soft tissue profile and incisor angulation measurements were recorded for each time point as well as molar classification and lower incisor crowding. Results: The results showed that the soft tissue profile of Tandem-treated Class I patients were not statistically different from untreated control groups. The soft tissue profile of Tandem-treated Class II cases were significantly improved at T2 and T3 and were straighter than the untreated Class II controls at T2. Comparison between treated and untreated Class II cases at T3 was not possible due to unavailability of untreated Class II cases at T3. Crowding was resolved in both Classes without proclining the incisors. Conclusion: Tandem Mechanics can be a valuable nonextraction treatment option for Class I and II cases with mild to moderate crowding.

▼ Objective: The study objective was to investigate what type of esthetic orthodontic wire coating provides less frictional resistance when used with ceramic polycrystalline brackets compared to each other and to non-coated stainless steel archwire. Consistency of wire sizes with dimensions reported by manufacturers, and effect of stainless steel core diameter on frictional characteristics were also investigated. Methods: Canine retraction model was constructed allowing to simulate forces and conditions existing on the bracket/wire interface during orthodontic tooth movement. Static and kinetic resistance to sliding of three coated archwires from different manufacturers was measured using Instron testing machine and compared to each other and non-coated stainless steel control wire. Dimensions of wires as received and diameter of stainless steel core after coating removal was measured with optical profile projector. Results: Significant differences exist in static and kinetic friction between tested wires in experimental conditions. Dimensions of all coated wires differ significantly from reported by manufacturers’ sizes. Conclusions: Type of esthetic coating effects frictional characteristics of orthodontic wires and should be considered by clinicians for predictable treatment outcomes.

▼ Hypothesis: There is no statistically significant mean difference in vertical dimension changes between the quad helix expander and the bonded rapid palatal expander during phase I treatment for growing skeletal class I and class II
subjects.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if there is a significantly different effect on vertical changes during palatal expansion in phase I treatment using a quad helix expander or a bonded rapid palatal expander in growing skeletal class I and class II subjects.
Methods: This retrospective study looked at two treatment groups, a quad helix expander group and a bonded rapid palatal expander group, before treatment (T1) and after the completion of phase I treatment (T2) to assess changes in the vertical dimension after palatal expansion treatment. Each treatment group was also compared to an untreated predicted growth model. All subjects were growing patients with either a class I or class II skeletal pattern. Lateral cephalograms taken before treatment and after the completion of expansion and phase I treatment were traced using Dolphin Imaging, and these cephalometric tracings were used to analyze the changes in vertical dimension.
Results: When the quad helix and bonded rapid palatal expander groups were compared to each other, no difference was found at T1, but significant differences at T2 were found for the variables convexity, lower facial height, total facial height, facial axis, and FMA. When the two treatment groups at T2 were compared to their respective untreated predicted growth models, a significant difference was found for the variable lower facial height for the quad helix group and for the variable U6-PP for the bonded expander group.
Conclusions: The differences found at T2 between the two groups suggested that the quad helix expander had more control over skeletal vertical measurements than the bonded rapid palatal expander, based on this sample. When comparing treatment results to untreated predicted growth values, the quad helix expander appeared to maintain lower facial height better than the bonded rapid palatal expander, and the bonded rapid palatal expander appeared to maintain the
maxillary first molar vertical height better than the quad helix expander. Overall, both the quad helix expander and the bonded rapid palatal expander showed minimal vertical changes during palatal expansion treatment.

▼ In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, our objective was to use a previously published cephalometric method to measure the maxillary and mandibular molar and premolar dentoalveolar heights of orthodontically untreated male and female subjects past their peak growth spurt as determined by CVMS stage V. Methods: A total sample size of 218 subjects with full permanent dentition that met defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and grouping criteria were analyzed. Approximately 50% of the sample was obtained from the
University of
Illinois-
Chicago Department of Orthodontics, and 50% from private offices. The sample was diverse in ethnic backgrounds and representative of an urban practice setting, with ages ranging from 13-56 years old. Using cephalometric gropuing criteria, subjects were then assigned to one of the following groups: Class I normodivergent, Class II hyperdivergent or hypodivergent, or Class III hyperdivergent or hypodivergent. Cephalometric images were traced using Dolphin Imaging (v11.7) and data was analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Bonferroni post-hoc tests (p<0.05), using SPSS statistical software (v22.0). Results: Several statistically significant differences in mean dentoalveolar height measurements were found when comparing Class I subjects to the other groups, and when comparing hyperdivergent groups to hypodivergent groups, and when comparing Class II groups to Class III groups. Statistically significant differences ranged from 1.11mm-4.55mm. Gender dimorphism was also demonstrated, both in mean differences in dentoalveolar heights, and in the magnitude of differences between groups of the same gender. Because of the gender dimorphism, all groups were also separated by gender. Conclusions: The comparisons in this study showed strong trends of short maxillary posterior dentoalveolar heights in Class II hypodivergent subjects, and short mandibular posterior dentoalveolar heights of Class III hyperdivergent subjects.

▼ Hypothesis: There are no statistically significant mean differences in patient age at stages A-H of third molar mineralization in terms of sex, race, and quadrant. Objective: In forensic examination, observing stages of the dentition results in highly accurate age assessment but becomes more difficult once dental development is complete. This study evaluated the use of panoramic radiographs to determine chronologic age range utilizing the developmental stages of third molars. Methods: A total of 2000 panoramic radiographs of patients between the ages of 4-22 taken from years 2013-2015 at the
University of
Illinois College of Dentistry were analyzed. The development of third molars were classified into eight stages (A-H) according to Demirjian et al.’s classification method. The majority of subjects did not report ethnicity, however 213 identified as Hispanics. Differences between the chronological age of third molar mineralization were then compared among sex and quadrants. Results: The subjects’ mean age was 13.03 ± 1.68 years for males (392 subjects) and 13.19 ± 1.56 years for females (607 subjects). Hispanic males showed statistically significant lower mean age than Hispanic females at Q4 stage B (10.22 ± 1.39 vs 11.67±0.84) and Q1 stage D (12.73 ± 1.19 vs 13.47±1.12), p-values= 0.021 and 0.038, respectively. Otherwise, there were no statistically significant mean differences in age between Hispanic males and females for any other classification stage. The 95% confidence interval (CI) on age for each stage in all four quadrants was investigated and a narrow range between upper and lower boundary was observed. Conclusions: The majority of the results indicate no significant mean age differences in third molar mineralization among all four quadrants in both males and females. Panoramic radiographic assessment of third molar mineralization is a useful tool for age estimation in children and young adults. Funding: N/A. IRB/ACC protocol: IRB 2015-0892

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the AcceleDent device, perceived pain and treatment time for anterior tooth alignment in patients wearing Invisalign aligners. Consenting Invisalign patients from a private practice that met eligibility criteria were randomized into two groups: a group that used the AcceleDent device 20 minutes/day (n=18) or a control group (n=18). Both groups completed a pain scale survey to evaluate perceived pain on the day a new aligner was placed, daily for 3 more days and then weekly. Teeth were scanned at 4 time points: initial records, 3 months, 6 months and at 12 months or the end of treatment, whichever came first. Little’s Irregularity Index was used to measure each scan. During the 12-month treatment period, no significant differences were found between the AcceleDent group and the control group for the irregularity index values. AcceleDent group pain scores were lower than the control during 6-12 months of treatment. Reported pain decreased throughout treatment in the AcceleDent group. The AcceleDent group had shorter intervals between time points compared to the control. It cannot be concluded that AcceleDent had an effect on alignment, but these results demonstrate that there is lower perceived pain by 6 months into treatment in patients that use AcceleDent.

▼ Introduction: The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of AcceleDent Aura device on maxillary and mandibular arch alignment and pain during orthodontic treatment with SureSmile. Methods: Seventy-one subjects undergoing non-extraction comprehensive orthodontic treatment with SureSmile were randomly assigned into experimental group that used AcceleDent device and control group that used no additional device. Little’s irregularity index was used to evaluate maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth alignment at four time points – initial, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 month or end of treatment. Pain intensity and compliance with AcceleDent were recorded. Results: Out of total initial sample, data from sixty-one subjects were analyzed. There were no statistical significant differences in the initial upper and lower arches irregularity indices between the two groups, p-value > 0.05. At all follow up time points, the mean irregularity indices were consecutively smaller for both upper and lower arches. Within each group these differences were statistically significant with p-value <0.001. However, the mean differences in irregularity index were not statistically significant between the experimental and control groups at any time points. There was no difference in pain levels between the two groups during initial 3 months of the treatment for the 3 days evaluated; however, pain was significantly lower in the experimental group from the third month until the end of the treatment, p-value = 0.006. Average compliance with AcceleDent use was 78%. Conclusion: The AcceleDent Aura device had no effect on arch alignment. Likewise, device did not have any effect on pain level during initial three months. After 3 months until the end of the treatment, AcceleDent group had significantly less pain compared to the control group during the initial 3 days post-adjustment appointments.

▼ Dental Monitoring™ is a software designed to assist orthodontists in the remote monitoring of orthodontic patients. Dental Monitoring™ software allows patients to take pictures of their teeth through the use of their smartphone. These images are then uploaded to the Dental Monitoring™ platform where a patented algorithm calculates and tracks the current movement of the teeth. This software has the potential for orthodontic patients to have fewer appointments and have better communication with their orthodontist. Despite the potential that this platform can offer, currently there are no studies to validate this technology.
To validate this technology, 10 wax typodonts were initially scanned with an iTero® Element™ to produce an initial 3D model that Dental Monitoring™ then used as a baseline for their calculations. Invisalign® trays were then created for each of the 10 wax typodonts; each of the 10 wax typodonts had a series of 10 Invisalign® trays. Once an Invisalign® tray was placed, the typodont was placed in hot water bath set at 45o Celsius for five minutes. After the wax was cooled and the Invisalign® tray was removed, a Dental Monitoring™ photo exam and iTero® scan was taken. The 3D STL file produced from Dental Monitoring™ and the 3D STL file from the iTero® Element™ were then superimposed in GOM™ 3D software to calculate a global deviation from approximately 200,000 surface points between the two models.
Results show that there was no clinically significant difference between the reconstructed digital dental models generated by the iTero® Element™ intraoral scanner and reconstructed digital dental models generated by the Dental Monitoring™ application in photo mode. Clinical significance was determined to be 0.5 mm based on the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) standards of clinical significance. Results did demonstrate a statistically significant difference in global deviations over successive Dental Monitoring™ photo exams. Reconstructed digital dental models produced from Dental Monitoring™ in photo mode did progressively increase in global deviations, therefore becoming less accurate over time. These deviations were not clinically significant and never exceeded the threshold of 0.5 mm.

▼ Hypothesis: We hypothesize that there is a significant relationship between obesity and mandible size and shape in children and adolescents. Objective: To investigate the relationship between craniofacial morphology and size and the body mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents. Methods: The initial pre-treatment records of patients from the Orthodontics Department at the
University of
Illinois at
Chicago (UIC) were reviewed retrospectively. Following the application of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, 181 patients, both male and female, were included in the study. The subjects ranged from ages 9-19 years old. The height and weight measurements recorded at the time of initial records was used to calculate a raw body mass index (BMI) score. The raw BMI score was then used to identify each subject’s age and sex specific BMI percentile. Using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts, each subject was categorized as either underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese. The tpsDig2 computer software program was used to digitally landmark 22 points on each lateral cephalometric radiograph (LCR). These landmarks were used quantify and analyze the size and shape of each mandible using geometric morphometrics. Results: 6 underweight subjects were identified as potential outliers and ultimately removed from the sample. Evidence of allometry, or size related shape differences, was detected and scaled out. Principal Component Analyses (PCA) were performed on the allometric regression residuals of mandibular shape. 6 of the 24 PCs yielded were representative of >5% of total shape variation of the mandible. A series of ANOVA test on PC1-6 using BMI category (normal, overweight, obese) as the grouping variable showed PC6 was approaching a significance difference across each BMI category. Partial correlation analyses revealed a positive relationship between increased BMI and centroid size of mandible (r=0.212, p=0.005) and craniofacial complex (r=0.168, p=0.029). Conclusions: Results are too ambiguous to make any clear clinical recommendations. Evidence was found of an association between high BMI and increased centroid size of the mandible and craniofacial complex. No statistically significant relationship was identified between obesity and shape in this subject population. Further study of this relationship is warranted. Funding: N/A IRB/ACC protocol:2018-0716
