Evaluation of alveolar bone loss following rapid maxillary expansion using cone-beam computed tomography

ASLI BAYSAL | İLKNUR VELİ | MEHMET İRFAN KARADEDE

Objective: To evaluate the changes in cortical bone thickness, alveolar bone height, and the incidence of dehiscence and fenestration in the surrounding alveolar bone of posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The CBCT records of 20 subjects (9 boys, mean age: 13.97 ± 1.17 years; 11 girls, mean age: 13.53 ± 2.12 year) that underwent RME were selected from the archives. CBCT scans had been taken before (T1) and after (T2) the RME. Moreover, 10 of the subjects had 6-month retention (T3) records. We used th ...Daha fazlası

OPG and RANKL levels around miniscrew implants during orthodontic tooth movement

İLKNUR VELİ | ŞÜKRÜ ENHOŞ

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid receptor activator of nuclear factor-lB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels around loaded and unloaded miniscrew implants at different time intervals. Methods: Twenty loaded and 16 unloaded miniscrew implants were included in this study. All miniscrew implants were placed bilaterally between the maxillary second premolars and first molars as anchorage units for canine distalization. Peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid was taken from the mesiobuccal aspects of the loaded and unl ...Daha fazlası

Rapid maxillary expansion effects on dynamic measurement of natural head position

TANCAN UYSAL

Objective: To identify the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure on dynamic measurement of natural head position (NHP). Materials and Methods: The treatment group comprised 23 patients, 12 girls and 11 boys (mean age: 10.1 6 1.1 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects, 8 girls and 7 boys (mean age: 9.7 6 1.4 years). The test subjects underwent RME treatment using full cap acrylic device, and the mean amount of expansion was 5.48 mm. An inclinometer and a portable data logger were used to collect the NHP data. Intragroup changes were evaluated by using nonparamet ...Daha fazlası

Süt dişi vital pulpa amputasyonlarında MTA ve Ca(OH)2'nin etkinliğinin klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi

MERVE AKÇAY

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, süt dişlerinde; kalsiyum hidroksit (KH) ve mineral trioksit agregat (MTA) vital amputasyon uygulamalarının klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yaşları 6-10 yıl arasında değişen 64 çocuğun, derin dentin çürüğü teşhisi konulan ve amputasyon tedavisi gereksinimi olduğu düşünülen toplam 64 alt süt azı dişi, KH ve MTA amputasyonu uygulanmak üzere rastgele iki çalışma grubuna ayrıldı. Tedavilerin tamamlanmasının ardından dişler, 3'er aylık aralıklarla 1 yıl boyunca klinik ve radyolojik olarak takip edildi. Bulgular: Klinik başarı, KH grubu ...Daha fazlası

Effect of antibacterial monomer-containing adhesive on enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets: An in-vivo study

TANCAN UYSAL

Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of an antibacterial monomer-containing selfetching adhesive in reducing enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets in vivo and to compare it with the conventional adhesive system quantitatively. Methods: Fourteen orthodontic patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups; they received brackets fitted to all their teeth, bonded with either Clearfil Protect Bond (Kuraray Medical, Okayama, Japan) (experimental group) or Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) (control group). Block randomization to obtain equal ...Daha fazlası
