Objective: To test the null hypothesis that the presence of alveolar defects (dehiscence and
fenestration) was not different among patients with different vertical growth patterns.
Materials and Methods: A total of 1872 teeth in 26 hyper-divergent (mean age: 24.4 6 4.8 years),
27 hypo-divergent (mean age: 25.1 6 4.5 years), and 25 normo-divergent (mean age: 23.6 6
4.1 years) patients with no previous orthodontic treatment were evaluated using cone-beam
computed tomography. Axial and cross-sectional views were evaluated with regard to whether
dehiscence and/or fenestration on buccal and l ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To determine whether there is any difference between the cleft and non-cleft sides of the mandible
in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients, or the right and left sides in control patients; and
to determine if there is any difference between the mandibular asymmetry of UCLP patients and that of
control patients. Methods: We examined cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 15 patients
with UCLP and 15 age- and gender-matched control patients. We evaluated 8 linear, 3 surface, and 3 volumetric
measurements and compared the cleft/non-cleft sides of UCLP patients an ...Daha fazlası
Introduction: The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to assess the effects of varying force directions on the
dynamic measurement of natural head position and orofacial airway dimensions of Class III patients during maxillary
orthopedic protraction compared with an untreated control group. Methods: The conventional facemask
group comprised 15 patients (8 girls, 7 boys; mean age, 9.6 6 1.3 years), the modified facemask group comprised
15 patients (7 girls, 8 boys; mean age, 9.5 6 1.5 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects
(7 girls, 8 boys; mean age, 9.8 6 1.6 years). N ...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
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
Amaç: Nekrotik pulpalı immatür dişlerde kök ucunun açık olması, kök kanal sisteminin geniş ve kök ucuna doğru genişleyerek sonlanması nedeniyle bu dişlerde endodontik tedavi ile etkili bir apikal tıkama oluşturulması oldukça zordur. Bu yüzden bu dişlerin endodontik tedavilerinde kullanılacak kök kanal dolgu sisteminin apikal tıkama özelliği önem kazanmaktadır. Çalışmamızda hazırlanan simule immatür dişlerde yeni üretilmiş MTA Fillapex kanal dolgu patının Güta-perka ile birlikte kullanımı ve oluşturduğu apikal tıkamanın etkinliği Güta-perka/AH Plus kanal dolgu sistemi ile karşılaştırılarak in v ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of different diagnostic methods in detection of residual dentinal caries
in excavated cavities. Fifty extracted molar with deep dentinal carious lesions were excavated using a slow-speed handpiece.
All cavities were assessed by laser fluorescence(LF) device, electronic caries monitor(ECM), and caries detector dye(CDD) by
three independent observers blindly. The measurements were repeated after two weeks. Specimens containing dentin slices
150 μm in thickness were prepared for histological analyses. The existence and absence of car ...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
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a connective tissue disease that has effect on the structure and function of collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is one of the main building structures of connective tissues such as skin, tendon, bone and cartilage. Connective tissue requires all type of collagen to function correctly.
People with EDS may show symptoms such as skin hyperelasticity, joint hypermobility, increased tendency to bruise and abnormal scarring. Dental findings have been reported with some types of EDS. This case report describes the dental findings of a patient (10, c?) who ...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

Çalışma Kayseri Melikgazi Eğitim ve Araştırma Bölgesi’nde, 0-36 aylık çocukların anne sütü alma ve beslenme durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. 2006’da aynı bölgede gerçekleştirilen Temel Çalışma'da örnekleme seçilen 3120 haneden, 3038 hanedeki 0-36 aylık çocuklar araştırmaya alındı. Veriler anket yöntemiyle annelerle görüşülerek toplandı. İstatistiksel analizlerinde ki-kare ve Student t testi kullanıldı. Araştırma grubundaki çocukların yaş ortalaması 16.03±10.4 aydı. Annelerinin %94.7’si ev hanımı, %62.8’i ilkokul ve daha az (%54.1) eğitimliydi. Çocukların %1.6’sı hiç anne sütü almamış, ...Daha fazlası
