Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics

As part of the Orthodontic and Dentofacial Orthopedics Residency Program, a research project is a graduation requirement. The following are titles of projects completed or in progress:

• The Comparison of Tooth Size Measurements and Bolton Analysis for Fast-Set Plaster Models Versus Computer-Based Models Rendered from Dual Pour Alginate Impressions
• The Economic Rate of Return for Residency Training in Orthodontics
• The Quantifying Differences in Practitioner and Patient Perceptions of Orthodontic Treatment Outcome
• The Effect of ProSeal, Light Cured Fluoride Releasing Sealant, on Enamel Demineralization in Orthodontic Patients: Part II - Examination of T1 Data
• The Anthropometric Precision and Accuracy of Digital Three-Dimensional Photogrammetry: Comparison of the 3DMD Imaging System, Canfield Vectra-3 Imaging System and the Microscribe 3DX Three-Dimensional Digitizer
• An In-Vitro Study on the Properties of Vacuformed Retainers
• The Effect of ProSeal, Light Cured Fluoride Releasing Sealant, on Enamel Demineralization in Orthodontic Patients: Part III - Examination of T2 Data
• The Use of a Soft Tissue Arc to Identify Soft Tissue Discrepancies in the Lower Face

First professional students and residents are encouraged to participate in existing projects or pursue individual research projects with faculty mentors.
