    Objective: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a relatively common disorder and accepted as one of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders group. No tests for BDD have been translated into Turkish yet. This study aimed to perform validity and reliability tests on the Turkish version of the Yale-Brown ObsessiveCompulsive scale Modified for BDD (T-YBOCS-BDD) and the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (T-BIDQ). Methods: The patients who were admitted to the clinics of the dentistry faculty with the aesthetic problems were selected as the study group (n=80) and the control group was designed with the patients with non-aesthetic problems (n=81). The tests were administered to the patients within one week with the test and re-test method. Factor analysis was performed, and the statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05 Results: In the evaluation of reliability, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.808 for the T-YBOCS-BDD and it was 0.780 for the T-BIDQ. The factor analysis scores were 0.705 and 0.736, whereas and the valuesof the Bartlett’s test of sphericity were 677,296 (df=66, p<0.001) and 336,069 (df=21, p<0.001), respectively. Total mean scores of T-YBOCS-BDD revealed statistically significant results (p=0.006). Conclusion: The tests resulted in high validity and reliability, therefore the results of this study highly recommended clinicians to perform these tests in the Turkish language-speaking countries.

    Evaluation of Dental Anxiety Levels of Students from Different Departments
    (2021-02-01T00:00:00Z) Yücesoy, Türker; Şeker, Elif Dilara; Balcı, Rumeysa; YÜCESOY, TÜRKER; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA
    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the anxiety levels among dentistry students and students from other departments and to assess the effects of classes at pre-clinic labs or dentistry clinics on the dental fear of dentistry students. Materials and Methods: A total of 993 students, including 744 (75%) women and 249 (25%) men, were asked to answer the Modified Dental Anxiety scale (MDAS) and Dental Fear scale. Four groups were created according to the departments: Dentistry (group 1), medicine (group 2), health-related (group 3) and others (group 4). The participants scored their anxiety levels from 1 (no anxiety) to 5 (high anxiety). Statistical analysis was performed and values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The dentistry students scored lower than the other three groups in the MDAS (p<0.001). For the education process of dentistry, no significant difference was observed in other questions regarding pre-clinic dentistry and dentistry clinic periods (p>0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed that the dental anxiety levels of dentistry students were lower than those of students from other departments and that preclinic or dentistry clinic classes did not affect dental anxiety.

    Evaluation of the Relationship Between Delivery Type and Craniofacial Morphology and Condylar Symmetry
    (2024-10-01) Mertoglu I. E.; ŞEKER E. D.; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA
    Objective: To assess the effects of delivery types on growth patterns and mandibular asymmetry. Methods: One hundred six patients were divided into two groups as those who were born via normal delivery and via cesarean delivery. Skeletal growth patterns were measured on cephalograms using NemoCeph software (Nemotec, Madrid, Spain). The condylar, ramal and total asymmetry indexes were calculated on panoramic radiographs using the Image) software (Image) software, 1.37, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA). The mothers of the patients were also asked to respond to questions on their childbirth experiences and the infancy stages of their children. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of their skeletal, dental and soft tissue parameters on their cephalometric images (p 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the asymmetry index values of the two groups (p 0.05). A significant correlation was observed between the gestational weeks of the patients at birth and their total asymmetry scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Types of delivery did not affect growth patterns significantly. However, more asymmetric condyles were observed in the normal delivery group, and more ramus asymmetries were observed in cesarean delivery group. There was also a relationship between preterm birth and mandibular asymmetry.
