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
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
INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that increased irregularity of the mandibular incisors is associated with a reduction in the alveolar support on cone-beam computed tomographic sections.
METHODS:
From a sample of 1100 digital volumetric tomographs, 125 tomographs of subjects with Class I malocclusion (mean age, 21.6 ± 4.8 years) were selected for this study. An irregularity index was used to categorize these tomographs as having mild, moderate, or severe crowding. All tomographs were taken by using an iCAT (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, Pa) ima ...Daha fazlası
Amaç: Koronal örtücülük, endodontik tedavinin başarısını ve periapikal doku sağlığını etkileyen kritik bir faktördür. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda yeni üretilmiş MTA Fillapex kanal dolgu patının Güta-perka ile birlikte kullanımı ve oluşturduğu koronal tıkamanın etkinliği Güta-perka/AH Plus kanal dolgu sistemi ile karşılaştırılarak in vitro koşullarda değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada 20 adet örnek Güta-perka/MTA Fillapex, 20 adet örnek Güta-perka/AH Plus ile doldurulmuştur. Bulgular: Boya penetrasyon testi ile elde edilen sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildiğinde Güta-perka/MTA Filla ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this prospective experimental study was to evaluate the effect of light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation therapy (LPT) on the stability of immediately loaded miniscrews under different force levels, as assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Sixty titanium orthodontic miniscrews with a length of 8 mm and a diameter of 1.4 mm were implanted into cortical bone by closed flap technique in each proximal tibia of 15 New Zealand white adult male rabbits (n = 30). The animals were randomly divided into irradiated and control groups under different force levels (0, 150, and 3 ...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
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
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
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, süt dişlerinde; kalsiyum hidroksit (KH) ve mineral trioksit agregat (MTA) vital amputasyon uygulamalarının klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yaşları 6-10 yıl arasında değişen 64 çocuğun, derin dentin çürüğü teşhisi konulan ve amputasyon tedavisi gereksinimi olduğu düşünülen toplam 64 alt süt azı dişi, KH ve MTA amputasyonu uygulanmak üzere rastgele iki çalışma grubuna ayrıldı. Tedavilerin tamamlanmasının ardından dişler, 3'er aylık aralıklarla 1 yıl boyunca klinik ve radyolojik olarak takip edildi. Bulgular: Klinik başarı, KH grubu ...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
Objective: To test the null hypothesis that the presence of alveolar defects (dehiscence and
fenestration) was not different among patients with different vertical growth patterns.
Materials and Methods: A total of 1872 teeth in 26 hyper-divergent (mean age: 24.4 6 4.8 years),
27 hypo-divergent (mean age: 25.1 6 4.5 years), and 25 normo-divergent (mean age: 23.6 6
4.1 years) patients with no previous orthodontic treatment were evaluated using cone-beam
computed tomography. Axial and cross-sectional views were evaluated with regard to whether
