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
Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the changes in mandibular arch widths and buccolingual inclinations of mandibular posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Methods: Baseline and post expansion cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of patients who initially had bilateral posterior cross-bite and underwent RME with a banded type expander were assessed in this study. The patients included 9 boys (mean age: 13.97 1.17 years) and 11 girls (mean age: 13.53 2.12 years). Images obtained 6 months after retention were available for 10 of these patients. Eighteen angular and ...Daha fazlası
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate dentoskeletal effects of Herbst and Twin Block (TB) appliance therapies in Skeletal Class II malocclusion.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Herbst group consisted of 11 girls and 9 boys (mean age = 12.74±1.43 years), TB group comprised of 10 girls and 10 boys (mean age = 13.0±1.32 years), and control group included 9 girls and 11 boys (mean age = 12.17±1.47 years). Mean treatment/observation times were 15.81±5.96 months for Herbst, 16.20±7.54 months for TB, and 15.58±3.13 months for control group. Pre-treatment (T0) and post-treatment (T1) lateral cephal ...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
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
