RESUMO
Dr. Frazier-Bowers is an associate professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), in the Department of Orthodontics. She received a BA from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and a DDS from the University of Illinois, Chicago. After completing the NIH Dentist-Scientist Program at UNC-CH in Orthodontics (Certificate, 97') and Genetics and Molecular Biology (PhD, 99'), she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston (UTHSC), in the Department of Orthodontics. Leadership positions include president of local NC-AADR (North Carolina (2005-2006); director of the AADR Craniofacial Biology group (CBG) 2004-2007; IADR/AADR councilor for NC-AADR (2007, 2008, 2012) and for the CBG (2012-2015); member of Southern Association of Orthodontists Scientific Affairs Committee (2005-2013) and the American Association of Orthodontists Council on Scientific Affairs (2014 Present). Dr. Frazier-Bowers also serves various editorial boards including the Journal of Dental Research and the Scientific Advisory board for the Consortium on Orthodontic Advances in Science and Technology. Her current role as faculty at UNC-CH includes conducting human genetic studies to determine the etiology of inherited tooth disorders, mentoring students at all levels, teaching graduate and pre-doctoral level Growth and Development courses and treating patients in the UNC School of Dentistry faculty practice in Orthodontics.

INTRODUCTION: Our objective was to compare vertical alveolar growth in areas adjacent to infraoccluded deciduous molars with growth in areas of deciduous molars and normal occlusion for a period of at least 1 year by using digital subtraction radiography. METHODS: This case-control study included 40 pairs of panoramic radiographs of growing patients with infraoccluded deciduous molars and 40 pairs of radiographs of patients without infraoccluded deciduous molars. One radiograph at baseline was obtained at diagnosis, and the other at least 1 year later. The subjects and the controls were matched according to chronologic age and time interval between the 2 radiographs. The 2 groups were compared with regard to vertical alveolar growth and vertical tooth movement. Measurements were assessed by using nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney and Friedman) and a multiple comparison test. Significance was set at 5%. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups with regard to vertical alveolar growth measured on the bone crest between the first permanent molars and second premolars. CONCLUSIONS: Vertical alveolar growth between the first permanent molar and the second premolar adjacent to the infraoccluded teeth was smaller than in areas adjacent to teeth with normal occlusion.
