Article Metadata only Intrapulpal Temperature Increase During Er: YAG Laser-Aided Debonding of Ceramic Brackets(2017-04-01T00:00:00Z) YILANCI, HİLAL; YILDIRIM, ZEYNEP BEYZA; Ramoglu, Sabri Ilhan; YILANCI, HİLAL; YILDIRIM, ZEYNEP BEYZAObjective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the temperature changes in the pulp chamber while using a newly introduced application of Er: YAG laser to debond ceramic brackets in a study model with a pulpal circulation with and without thermocycled samples. Background data: An esthetic alternative to stainless steel brackets, ceramic brackets have been proposed. However, because of their low fracture resistance and high bond strengths, ceramic brackets can cause a problem when they are being removed using conventional techniques. Materials and methods: Experimental Groups A and B were established for samples with or without thermocycling. The same 20 maxillary central incisor and 20 premolar teeth were used in both groups. Pulpal blood microcirculation was simulated using an apparatus described in a previous study. Monocrystalline brackets were bonded by using Transbond XT. In Group A, brackets were debonded using the Er: YAG laser (600 mJ, 2 Hz, long pulse, and no air or water spray) after being stored in distilled water for 24 h. In Group B, brackets were debonded using the same laser system as that used in Group A after being stored in distilled water for 24 h and then thermocycled for a total of 5000 cycles between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C. The laser irradiation duration and intrapulpal temperature changes were measured. Results: In Group B, the intrapulpal temperature increase of the central incisors was significantly higher than that of the premolar teeth. In the central incisor and premolar teeth groups, there were no statistically significant difference between Groups A and B (p > 0.05). A positive correlation was found between laser irradiation duration and temperature increase (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The use of Er: YAG laser is an effective method for debonding the monocrystalline ceramic brackets. This method can be used safely under the consideration of intrapulpal temperature changes.Article Open Access Soluble TNF-Like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis as a New Marker in Preeclampsia: A Pilot Clinical Study.(2016-01-01) YILDIRIM, ZEYNEP BEYZA; SUMNU, A; BADEMLER, N; KILIC, ERDEM; SUMNU, G; KARADAG, S; GURSU, MELTEM; OZEL, A; BATMAZ, G; ATES, SEDA; Dane, B; OZTURK, S; YILDIRIM, ZEYNEP BEYZA; KILIÇ, ERDEM; GÜRSU, MELTEM; ATEŞ, SEDA; KILIÇOĞLU DANE, PAKİZER BANUntroduction: All findings of preeclampsia appear as the clinical consequences of diffuse endothelial dysfunction. Soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) was recently introduced as a TNF related cytokine in various inflammatory and noninflammatory disorders. sTWEAK was found to be related to endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease. In our study we aimed to compare sTWEAK levels in women with preeclampsia to corresponding levels in a healthy pregnant control group. Materials and methods: The study was undertaken with 33 patients with preeclampsia and 33 normal pregnant women. The concentration of sTWEAK in serum was calculated with an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Results: Serum creatinine, uric acid, LDH levels, and uPCR were significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group. sTWEAK levels were significantly lower in preeclamptic patients (332 ± 144 pg/mL) than in control subjects (412 ± 166 pg/mL) (p = 0.04). Discussion: Our study demonstrates that sTWEAK is decreased in patients with preeclampsia compared to healthy pregnant women. There is a need for further studies to identify the role of sTWEAK in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and to determine whether it can be regarded as a predictor of the development of preeclampsia.
