- PublicationMetadata onlyDo we pay for maxillary protraction? Evaluation of the effects of Alt-RAMEC protocol and face mask treatment on root development(2021-11-01T00:00:00Z) YILMAZ, BERZA; ŞEKER, Elif Dilara; YILMAZ, HANİFE NURAY; Kucukkeles, Nazan; YILMAZ, BERZA; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARAObjectives To evaluate root development of pediatric patients treated with Alt-RAMEC + Face mask therapy. Material and methods The 19 subjects (9 girls, 10 boys; mean age: 8.6 +/- 1.1 years) treated with Alt-RAMEC and a Petit-type face mask were included to the study. The cone-beam tomography (CBCT) records of these patients were used to quantify the root length. The root length measurements of 456 permanent teeth (maxillary-mandibular incisors, canines, premolars, and first molars) were performed at the beginning of the treatment (T0), after the Alt-RAMEC protocol (T1), and at the end of the face mask treatment (T2) using Planmeca Romexis software. Results Tooth length values increased significantly in the maxillary teeth except the central incisors, left lateral incisor, the palatal root of the right first molar, and distal and palatinal roots of the left first molar (p < 0.05). Mandibular teeth also showed significant increase in the root length except mandibular central incisors and the distal root of left first molar (p < 0.05). The change in tooth lengths from T0 to T1 showed positive delta values. The comparison of the change in tooth lengths after the Alt-RAMEC protocol and after the face mask therapy showed that increment T2-T1 was statistically significantly higher compared with increment T1-T0 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Alt-RAMEC + Face mask therapy seem not to inhibit root development of maxillary and mandibular teeth in the mixed dentition.
- PublicationOpen AccessEvaluation 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 DILARAObjective: 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.
- PublicationMetadata onlyEvaluating the changes in nasal airway volume and nasal airflow after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) ALAGÖZ, ELİFHAN; Unver, Tugba; ŞEKER, Elif Dilara; KURT, GÖKMEN; ŞENTÜRK, EROL; Ozdem, Abdullah; DOLANMAZ, DOĞAN; ALAGÖZ, ELİFHAN; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; KURT, GÖKMEN; ŞENTÜRK, EROL; ÖZDEM, ABDULLAH; DOLANMAZ, DOĞAN© 2022 Elsevier Inc.Objective: This study aims to compare the changes in the nasal airway volume and nasal airflow using acoustic rhinometry (AR), rhinomanometry (RMN), and dental volumetric tomography (DVT) after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). Study Design: Our study consists of 13 adults, 3 male and 10 female patients, aged between 15 and 26, with completed skeletal development. In our study, DVT imaging was obtained twice, preoperation and 3 months after expansion. AR and RMN measurements were recorded, and Visual Analog Score (VAS) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scale surveys were scored at preoperation and 3 months after expansion. Nasopharyngeal-oropharyngeal airway volume and areas were calculated using the Romexis 3.8.3.R (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) and Nemotec V2019 (Madrid, Spain) software programs. IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (SPSS IBM, Armonk, New York) was used for statistical analysis. Results: Comparing the preoperation and postexpansion measurements by both software programs revealed a statistically significant increase in the nasopharyngeal airway volume. No statistically significant change was observed in the oropharyngeal airway volume. Furthermore, we found a statistically significant increase in VAS but a significant decrease in NOSE. Conclusion: According to our findings, nasal airway volume increased after SARME, and although there was no significant change in nasal resistance, patients’ quality of life increased significantly.
- PublicationMetadata onlyHistologic and Biomechanical Evaluation of Osseointegrated Miniscrew Implants Treated with Ozone Therapy and Photobiomodulation at Different Loading Times(2019-11-01) YÜCESOY, TÜRKER; ŞEKER, ELİF DİLARA; Cenkci, Ebru; Yay, Arzu; ALKAN, ALPER; YÜCESOY, TÜRKER; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; ALKAN, ALPERPurpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate how continuous heavy orthopedic forces affect the stability of sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA)-surfaced miniscrew implants and surrounding bone tissue healing at three different loading periods with treatment of photobiomodulation and ozone therapy. Materials and Methods: Miniscrew implants were applied on the tibias of 9-month-old rabbits (n = 18). The animals were randomly divided into three groups: control, photobiomodulation, and ozone therapy. In all groups, miniscrew implants were loaded with 500 gf at 0, 4, and 8 weeks, respectively (G1, G2, and G3). Several biomechanical and histologic analyses were performed in different centers to measure the implant stability quotient level, bone volume, and bone-to-implant contact. Results: According to the results of the Infinite Focus Microscopy, the ozone therapy group revealed significantly higher scores than the control group and photobiomodulation group at the 4-week loading time, whereas the photobiomodulation and ozone therapy groups revealed significantly higher scores than the control group at the 8-week loading time in terms of bone volume measurements in mm(3) (P < .05). According to the histologic analysis, the ozone therapy and photobiomodulation groups revealed significantly higher scores than the control group at the 4-week loading time, whereas the photobiomodulation group showed the highest scores among the 8-week loading groups (P < .05). Conclusion: This is the first study in the literature that reveals a better osseointegration process in miniscrew implants when treated with photobiomodulation and ozone therapy compared with control groups. Although the photobiomodulation and ozone therapy groups did not reveal significantly higher scores in immediately loaded miniscrew implants (G1), these treatments were significantly more effective when loaded after 4 or 8 weeks of osseointegration (G2 and G3). SLA-surfaced miniscrew implants are successful in the orthopedic forces (500 gf) and can be removed without complications.
- PublicationMetadata onlyOcclusal plane rotation and orthodontic decompensation: influence on the outcome of surgical correction of class III malocclusion Rotation der Okklusionsebene und kieferorthopädische Dekompensation: Einfluss auf das Ergebnis der chirurgischen Korrektur einer Klasse-III-Malokklusion(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) ŞEKER, Elif Dilara; SUNAL AKTÜRK, EZGİ; YILMAZ, HANİFE NURAY; Kucukkeles, Nazan; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; SUNAL AKTÜRK, EZGİ© 2022, Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.Purpose: The aim of this retrospective multicenter study is to evaluate the influence of surgical manipulation of the upper occlusal plane (UOP) and orthodontic decompensation on the outcome of class III orthognathic surgery. Methods: Incisor inclinations, occlusal plane inclination as well as skeletal and soft tissue changes were assessed in lateral cephalograms of 85 class III patients who had previously undergone orthognathic surgery. Fourteen linear and eight angular measurements were performed on each radiograph at the beginning of treatment (T0), before surgery (T1) and at the end of treatment (T2) using imaging software. After measurement of variables, Mann–Whitney U‑test, repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni multiple comparison test, and Spearman’s correlation analysis were performed. Results: A statistically significant improvement was observed in both sagittal skeletal and soft tissue measurements (p < 0.05). Surgical change in UOP was significantly correlated with changes in overbite, upper lip strain and soft tissue B‑point change in the sagittal direction (p < 0.05). Overjet change was significantly correlated with changes in the soft tissue and all sagittal skeletal parameters except for SNA. Changes in the incisor inclinations was significantly correlated with changes in the sagittal skeletal parameters and lower facial height. Significant differences were also observed between the groups with induced clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the mandible in terms of IMPA (long axis of LI to mandibular plane), overbite, upper lip strain and position of soft tissue B‑point (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Sufficient dental decompensation is crucial for controlling the sagittal as well as the vertical relationship during surgery. Counterclockwise rotation provides an increase in sagittal projection of the mandibular body at the soft tissue B‑point.
