Background: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the educational status of the parents who applied to the pediatric dentistry clinic and their approach to children’s oral-den- tal health. Methods: Questionnaire form with 8 question was used for parents. 226 parents which were selected randomly were included to the study. All parents gave their verbal assent to participation and infor- mation about questionnaire was given to them. The data were ana- lyzed by using chi-square tests. Results: The mean age for the mothers was 34,9, for the fathers was 39, for their childr ...Daha fazlası
Objective
We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication.
Methods
We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), 0.016 × 0.022-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III). To test detachment force, deformation, and fracture mode, we embedded 94 lower incisor teeth in acrylic blocks in pairs. Retainer wires were bonded to the teeth and vertically directed force was ap ...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
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: To study and compare the effects of different demineralizationinhibition
methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture mode of an
adhesive used to bond orthodontic brackets to demineralized enamel surfaces.
Methods: Eighty freshly extracted, human maxillary premolars were divided
into 4 equal groups and demineralized over the course of 21 days. Brackets were
bonded to the demineralized enamel of teeth in Group 1. In Group 2, bonding
was performed following resin infi ltration (ICON®, DMG, Hamburg, Germany).
Before bonding, pre-treatment with acidulated phosphate fluor ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To test the hypotheses that (1) there is no difference in mandibular asymmetry between
the crossbite and normal side in a unilateral crossbite group (UCG) and between the right and left
sides in a bilateral crossbite group (BCG) and a control group (CG); and (2) there is no significant
difference in mandibular asymmetry among crossbite groups and control group.
Materials and Methods: The cone-beam computed tomography scans of three groups were
studied: (1) 15 patients (6 male, 9 female; mean age: 13.51 6 2.03 years) with unilateral posterior
crossbite; (2) 15 patients (8 male, ...Daha fazlası
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
To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS), fracture mode, wire pull out (WPO) resistance and microleakage between low-shrinking and conventional composites used as a lingual retainer adhesive. Methods: A total of 120 human mandibular incisor teeth, extracted for periodontal reasons, were collected. Sixty of them were separated into two groups. To determine the SBS, either Transbond-LR (3M-Unitek) or Silorane (3M-Espe) was applied to the lingual surface of the teeth by packing the material into standard cylindrical plastic matrices (Ultradent) to simulate the lingual retainer bonding area. To t ...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
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
