Publication Metadata only Accuracy of 3 Soft Tissue Prediction Methods After Double-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery in Class III Patients.(2021-10-07T00:00:00Z) Demirsoy, Kevser Kurt; Kurt, GÖKMEN; KURT, GÖKMENPublication Open Access Use of Laser Systems in Orthodontics(2020-06-01T00:00:00Z) Demirsoy, Kevser Kurt; KURT, GÖKMEN; KURT, GÖKMENLaser systems have been used in the practice of dentistry for >35 years. Laser systems have so many advantages, such as increase patient cooperation, reduce the duration of treatment time, and help the orthodontists to enhance the design of a patient's smile to improve treatment efficacy, and the success of orthodontic treatments can also be improved by diminishing the orthodontic pain and the discomfort of the patients. Laser systems also have some disadvantages, such as cost, large space requirements for some types, and high-risk potential for physician and patient if not used at the appropriate wavelength and power density, that is why before incorporating lasers into clinical practice, the physician must fully understand the basic science, safety protocol, and risks associated with them. Lasers have many applications in orthodontics, including accelerating tooth movement, bonding and debonding processes, pain reduction, bone regeneration, etching procedures, increase mini-implant stability, soft tissue procedures (gingivectomy, frenectomy, operculectomy, papilla flattening, uncovering temporary anchorage devices, ablation of aphthous ulcerations, and exposure of impacted teeth), fiberotomy, scanning systems, and welding procedures. In reviewing the literature on the use of laser in orthodontics, many studies have been conducted. The purpose of the present study was to give information about the use of laser in the field of orthodontics, the effects of laser during the postoperative period, and its advantages and disadvantages and to provide general information about the requirements to be considered during the use of laser.Publication Metadata only Evaluating 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.Publication Metadata only SINIF III ORTOGNATİK CERRAHİ HASTALARINDA YUMUŞAK DOKU VE HAVA YOLU DEĞİŞİMLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ(2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) Şeker, Elif Dilara; Baltacı, Rabianur; Polat, Melike; Yücesoy, Türker; Kurt, Gökmen; ŞEKER, ELIF DILARA; KURT, GÖKMENPublication Metadata only Effects of mesenchymal stem cell transfer on orthodontically induced root resorption and orthodontic tooth movement during orthodontic arch expansion protocols: an experimental study in rats(2020-06-01T00:00:00Z) Amuk, Nisa Gul; KURT, GÖKMEN; Karsli, Erol; ÖZCAN, SERVET; Acar, Mustafa Burak; AMUK, MEHMET; LEKESİZCAN, AYÇA; Gurgan, Cem Abdulkadir; KURT, GÖKMENObjectives: The aim was to evaluate the effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transfer to periodontal ligament (PDL) on the inhibition and/or repair of orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) during and after arch expansion and on the orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) rate of the maxillary first molar teeth of rats.
