Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid receptor
activator of nuclear factor-lB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels around loaded and unloaded
miniscrew implants at different time intervals. Methods: Twenty loaded and 16 unloaded miniscrew implants
were included in this study. All miniscrew implants were placed bilaterally between the maxillary second premolars
and first molars as anchorage units for canine distalization. Peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid was taken
from the mesiobuccal aspects of the loaded and unl ...Daha fazlası

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
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 human body consists of different systems which include the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, etc. Each system performs some kind of vital task and carries on many physiological processes. For example, the primary functions of the musculoskeletal system can be summarized as generating forces, producing motion, moving substance within the body, providing stabilization, and generating heat. Physiological processes are multifaceted fact and most of them manifest themselves as signals that reflect their nature and activities. These types of signals may be ho ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this follow-up study was to evaluate the effects of Pre-Orthodontic Trainer (POT) appliance on the anterior temporal, mental, orbicularis oris, and masseter muscles through electromyography (EMG) evaluations in subjects with Class II division 1 malocclusion and incompetent lips. Twenty patients (mean age: 9.8 ± 2.2 years) with a Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated with POT (Myofunctional Research Co., Queensland, Australia). A group of 15 subjects (mean age: 9.2 ± 0.9 years) with untreated Class II division 1 malocclusions was used as a control. EMG recordings of treatment ...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
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
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
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: 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
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, süt dişlerinde; kalsiyum hidroksit (KH) ve mineral trioksit agregat (MTA) vital amputasyon uygulamalarının klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.

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
