Publication Metadata only Comparisons of the effects of systemic administration of L-thyroxine and doxycycline on orthodontically induced root resorption in rats(2010-10-01T00:00:00Z) Baysal, Asli; Uysal, Tancan; Ozdamar, Saim; Kurt, Bulent; Kurt, GÖKMEN; Gunhan, Omer; KURT, GÖKMENThe aim of this study was to histologically evaluate and compare the effects of the systemic administration of l-thyroxine (TX) and doxycycline (DX) on orthodontically induced root resorption, Twenty-eight male 50- to 60-day-old Wistar rats were used. Seven rats served as the baseline control. Seven animals received TX (20 mu g/kg bodyweight/day) and seven DX (1.2 mg/kg bodyweight/day), by means of a mini-osmotic pump implanted subcutaneously. Seven rats were separated as a sham, in order to evaluate the pure effect of the surgical procedure on the animals- health. Tooth movement (TM) was achieved with a continuous force of 50 g by placing Elgiloy coil springs between the right maxillary first molar and incisors for 14 days. The animals were sacrificed and specimens containing the appliance and maxillary tooth-bearing segments were processed for light microscopy. The surface area of root resorption lacunae was measured histomorphometrically using digital photomicrographs. To evaluate the resorptive changes on the molar root surface of each group, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations were also carried out. Statistical evaluation of root resorption percentages was performed using Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance test. Multiple comparisons were determined by the Student-Newman- Keuls method. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.Publication Metadata only Effectiveness of incremental vs maximum bite advancement during Herbst appliance therapy in late adolescent and young adult patients](2019-01-01) Amuk, Nisa Gul; Baysal, Asli; Coşkun, Ramadan; Kurt, GÖKMEN; KURT, GÖKMENIntroduction: The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of Herbst appliance therapy using incremental vs maximum advancement in late adolescent and young adult patients with Class II skeletal malocclusion. Methods: Forty-two patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion were treated with cast-splint Herbst appliances. The subjects were randomly allocated into 2 groups according to activation type: incremental advancement (IA) and maximum advancement (MA). Initial forward movement in the IA group was 4 to 5 mm and was followed by subsequent bimonthly advancements of 2 mm. Single-step advancement was achieved in the MA group until an edge-to-edge incisor relationship or an overcorrected Class I molar relationship was obtained. Total treatment times were 9.7 +/- 1.1 months for the IA group and 9.5 +/- 1.1 months for the MA group. Dental, skeletal, and soft tissue measurements were performed on lateral cephalograms taken just before and at the end of the Herbst appliance therapy. Statistical significance was set at P <= 0.05. Results: All mandibular skeletal dimensions increased, and improvements of the sagittal maxillomandibular parameters were found in both groups. Protrusion and proclination of the mandibular incisors were greater in the IA group (95.90 degrees +/- 5.34 degrees) compared with the MA group (92.04 degrees +/- 7.92 degrees). Other dentoalveolar changes in both groups were intrusion of the maxillary first molars, and extrusion of the mandibular first molars and maxillary incisors. The mentolabial sulcus was flattened, soft tissue convexity was reduced, and forward movement of mandibular soft tissues was seen after Herbst therapy. Conclusions: Similar skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes were obtained in both groups after Herbst therapy. Greater proclination and more protrusion of the mandibular incisors were found in the IA group.Publication Metadata only Incremental versus maximum bite advancement during Herbst therapy response(2019-06-01T00:00:00Z) Amuk, Nisa Gul; Baysal, Asli; Coskun, Ramadan; Kurt, GÖKMEN; KURT, GÖKMEN
