Evaluation of apical root resorption in Class III patients who received one-or two-phase orthodontic treatment
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the incidence root resorption and dilaceration between the patients with and without previous orthopedic treatment after the fixed orthodontic treatment.

Evaluation of Dental Anxiety Levels of Students from Different Departments
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.
Occlusal 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, 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.

Do we pay for maxillary protraction? Evaluation of the effects of Alt-RAMEC protocol and face mask treatment on root development
Objectives 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.
The Validation and Reliability Study of Turkish Versions of Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire
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.
