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

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

Effects of modified and conventional facemask therapies with expansion on dynamic measurement of natural head position in Class III patients

TANCAN UYSAL

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).
