Publication Metadata only Evaluation of Anxiety in Turkish Parents of Newborns with Cleft Palate with or Without Cleft Lip(2023-01-01) SUNAL AKTÜRK E.; ŞEKER E. D.; ÇAPKIN D.; KÜTÜK M. S.; SUNAL AKTÜRK, EZGİ; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; ÇAPKIN, DUYGU; KÜTÜK, MEHMET SERDAR© 2023, American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association.Objective: (1) To compare anxiety between parents of newborns with cleft lip and palate (CLP), isolated cleft palate (CP), and healthy newborns and (2) to evaluate anxiety between parental dyads within these groups. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: University Hospital. Participants: Surveys were completed by 20 mothers and 20 fathers of newborns with CLP, 21 mothers and 21 fathers of newborns with CP, and 23 mothers and 23 fathers of healthy newborns (controls). Main Outcome Measure: The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) assessed parental anxiety. Mothers of newborns with a cleft reported on concerns regarding cleft-related issues and facial appearance. Results: State and trait anxiety were generally in the moderate range for parents of newborns with a cleft, while control parents had low state anxiety and moderate trait anxiety. Mothers of newborns with CP and CLP had significantly higher state and trait anxiety levels than control mothers (p <.05). Fathers of newborns with CLP had a higher state anxiety level than control fathers. When maternal and paternal anxiety was compared within the groups, only trait anxiety scores were significantly higher in mothers of newborns with CLP than that of fathers (p <.05). More than half of mothers of newborns with a cleft were concerned about their newborn\"s feeding, speech, and palate. Conclusions: Parents of children with a cleft may need psychological support in the early postnatal period. It is important for neonatal cleft team providers to help reduce parental anxiety and educate families about cleft care, with a focus on feeding.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of the infrazygomatic crest and mandibular buccal shelf in different sagittal skeletal patterns: a cone-beam computed tomography study(2024-01-01) Şeker E. D.; Kaymakcıoğlu E.; Şahin Ş.; Kurt G.; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; KAYMAKCIOĞLU, ELİF; KURT, GÖKMENObjectives To compare bone thickness, bone height, and density in the infrazygomatic crest (IZC) and the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) associated with different sagittal skeletal patterns. Material and Methods This retrospective study included three groups of which a Class I group consisted of 28 patients (24 female, 4 male, mean age: 26.46 +/- 6.1), a Class II group comprised 31 patients (28 female, 3 male, mean age: 30.08 +/- 5.9), and a Class III group included 26 patients (22 female, 4 male, mean age: 26.21 +/- 5.3). Evaluations of bone characteristics were performed for both the IZC and MBS using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Maxillary length and mandibular body length were also measured on lateral cephalograms. One-way ANOVA, chi-squared, and Spearman\"s correlation tests were applied for statistical analysis. Results The Class II group showed significantly greater bone thickness at the distal root level of the maxillary second molar in IZC (p 0.05), the Class II group showed significantly higher bone height values at the distal root level of the mandibular second molar in the MBS (p < 0.05). A statistically significant increase from the mesial aspect to the distal aspect was observed in total bone thickness in the Class I group and total bone thickness and height in the Class II and III groups in the MBS. The mandibular body length and SNB values were positively correlated with the total bone thickness and bone height of the MBS. Conclusions Bone thickness in the IZC and bone density in both the IZC and MBS were similar in the different sagittal skeletal patterns. Total bone thickness in the Class I and III groups and the total bone height in the Class II group showed a gradual increase from the mesial to the distal in the MBS. The length of the mandibular body may be a clinical clue to assist in the selection of the appropriate implantation area.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of the infrazygomatic crest and mandibular buccal shelf in different sagittal skeletal patterns: a cone-beam computed tomography study(2024-02-01) Şahin Ş.; Şeker E.
