Coiling of the artery is a rare morphologic entity most frequently described in the internal carotid artery. Herein we present two cases with symptomatic kinked internal carotid artery: one suffering from paresthesia of the right arm and speech disturbances and the other suffering from weakness of the left half of the body and speech disturbances. Both patients were treated surgically. None of the patients experienced any peri- or postoperative complications.
On 6th February 2023, two consecutive earthquakes occurred in our country with a magnitude of 7.8 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Pazarcik) and 7.6 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Elbistan). Due to these earthquakes and aftershocks, 48,448 people have lost their lives in Türkiye. A bi-directional and very intense population movement from/to the earthquake area after these earthquakes was observed. Knowing the residence decisions of the disaster victims is important. In the face of the “disaster of the century”, “potential or actual” disaster victims or “pseudo disaster victims”, who exhibit the behavior of disaster ...Daha fazlası
INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that increased irregularity of the mandibular incisors is associated with a reduction in the alveolar support on cone-beam computed tomographic sections.
METHODS:
From a sample of 1100 digital volumetric tomographs, 125 tomographs of subjects with Class I malocclusion (mean age, 21.6 ± 4.8 years) were selected for this study. An irregularity index was used to categorize these tomographs as having mild, moderate, or severe crowding. All tomographs were taken by using an iCAT (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, Pa) ima ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate
the effects of light-emitting diode-mediated-photobiomodulation
therapy (LPT), on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (TM)
and orthodontically induced root resorption, in rats. Twentymale
12-week-oldWistar rats were separated into two groups (control
and LPT) and 50 cN of force was applied between maxillary left
molar and incisor with a coil spring. In the treatment group, LPT
was applied with an energy density of 20 mW/cm2 over a period
of 10 consecutive days directly over the movement of the first
molar teeth area. The distance b ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to evaluate soft tissue differences between Turkish and North American adults by comparing two sample populations with ideal occlusion and well-balanced faces. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 117 Anatolian Turkish adults (65 female and 52 male, mean age: 23.9 ± 2.8 years) were compared with a sample of 116 adults of European–American ancestry (64 female and 52 male, mean age: 25.0 ± 6.8 years). The cephalometric analyses of Holdaway, Epker, and Legan and Burstone were performed using Dolphin Image Software 9.0. Thirty-two measurements (27 linear and 5 angular) we ...Daha fazlası
Objective –The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local resveratrol
(RSVL) administration on bone formation in response to expansion of the interpremaxillary
suture, in rats.
Material and Methods – Twenty 50- to 60-day-old male Wistar rats were separated
into two equal groups. Both groups were subjected to expansion, and 30 cN of force
was applied to the maxillary incisors with helical-spring. Twenty-four hours after
appliance placement, single-dose 10 lmol ⁄ kg RSVL in the dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO) was injected to the inter-premaxillary suture in the experimental group. In ...Daha fazlası
Horizontal root fractures are rare in comparison to other types of injuries and the reported
prevalence in the literature is between 0.5% and 7%. The treatment and prognosis of root
fractures depend on many variables, the most important being the length of time between trauma
and treatment, degree of dislocation and mobility, site of fracture, fixation period, stage of root
development, age of patient, and quality of treatment. The ideal healing type is hard tissue healing.
The aim of these case reports is to present four different patients who had horizontal root fractures
of imma ...Daha fazlası
Objectives: The aims of the present study were (1) to determine ethnic differences in craniofacial
dimensions between Turkish and Saudi populations and (2) to identify possible gender differences
between males and females, based on a sample of untreated young adult subjects with
normal occlusions and well-balanced faces.
Methods: In total, 163 cephalometric radiographs were traced and evaluated to compare
untreated adults of Turkish and Saudi ethnicity. The Turkish group comprised 86 subjects; 45
females and 41 males. The Saudi group comprised 77 subjects; 39 females and 38 males. For st ...Daha fazlası

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in craniofacial morphology,
head posture and hyoid bone position between mouth breathing (MB) and nasal breathing
(NB) patients.
Methods: Mouth breathing patients comprised 34 skeletal Class I subjects with a mean age of
12.8 ± 1.5 years (range: 12.0–15.2 years). Thirty-two subjects with skeletal Class I relationship were
included in the NB group (mean 13.5 ±1.3 years; range: 12.2–14.8 years). Twenty-seven measurements
(15 angular and 12 linear) were used for the craniofacial analysis. Additionally, 12 measurements
were evalu ...Daha fazlası
Objective: The purpose of this retrospective radiographic study was to determine the reliability and reproducibility of skeletal and
dental measurements of lateral cephalograms created from a computerised tomography (CT) scan compared with conventional
and digital lateral cephalograms.
Methods: CT and conventional lateral cephalograms of the same patients were obtained from university archives. The lateral
cephalometric radiographs of 30 patients were manually traced. The radiographs were subsequently scanned and traced using
Dolphin Imaging software version 11 (Dolphin Imaging, Chatswort ...Daha fazlası
This in vitro study was to evaluate the erosive potential of four soft drinks at different times on bovine teeth by profilometry. Bovine incisors buccal side was sectioned with a diamond saw and a total of 100 enamel blocks were prepared (8 × 4 × 0.5 mm). Five specimens each were exposed to 60 ml of soft drinks (Sprite, Coca Cola, Cappy-orange and Ayran) for 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes in a continuously vibrating soft drinks bath in a beaker at room temperature. Surface loss of the specimens was determined with a profilometry. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tuke ...Daha fazlası
