Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of enamel microabrasion, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and their combination on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to demineralized enamel surface.
Materials and Methods: One hundred human first premolar teeth were randomly allocated to one of five groups. Group I was considered as the control of other groups. For the remaining groups, demineralization was performed via solutions. In group II, brackets were directly bonded to the demineralized enamel surface. CPP-ACP was applied in group ...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: Bu çalışmada MTA-Fillapex'in radyoopasitesinin dijital görüntüleme tekniği kullanılarak, Gri MTA ile karşılaştırmalı değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada Gri MTA Angelus'un ve MTA-Fillapex'in (Angelus, Londrina, Brezilya) opazitesi değerlendirildi. Örneklerin yerleştirilmesi için 1 mm derinliğinde ve 5 mm çapında 5 akrilik levha hazırlandı. Akrilik levhalar üzerinde ayrıca alüminyumdan yapılmış penetremetre yerleştirilerek opasite yoğunluğu hesaplandı. Radyografik değerlendirme, direkt dijital görüntüleme tekniği ile yapıldı. Tüm radyograflar sıkıştırma algoritması ...Daha fazlası
Çocuk ve adolesanlarda konjenital olarak eksik veya travma nedeni ile kaybedilmiş daimi kesici dişlerden kaynaklanan problemlerin tedavisi için farklı yaklaşımlar mevcuttur. Bu olgu raporunda, alt ön keser dişleri konjenital olarak eksik olan hastaya uygulanan polietilen fiber ile güçlendirilmiş rezin tutuculu köprü sunumu amaçlanmıştır. On iki yaşındaki kız çoğuğu, bölümümüze diş eksikliğine bağlı estetik problem nedeni ile getirildi. Ağız içi ve radyolojik muayenesinden alt ön keser dişlerinin konjenital olarak eksik olduğu belirlendi. Komşu yan keser dişler bu bölgeye diastemalı olarak yerl ...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
Objective: To evaluate the changes in cortical bone thickness, alveolar bone
height, and the incidence of dehiscence and fenestration in the surrounding
alveolar bone of posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment
using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The CBCT records of
20 subjects (9 boys, mean age: 13.97 ± 1.17 years; 11 girls, mean age: 13.53 ±
2.12 year) that underwent RME were selected from the archives. CBCT scans had
been taken before (T1) and after (T2) the RME. Moreover, 10 of the subjects had
6-month retention (T3) records. We used th ...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
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: 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
