(2021) Oguz, Ece Irem; Kilicarslan, Mehmet Ali; Ozgur, Merve Erdog; Orhan, Kaan; Shujaat, Sohaib
Aim: To compare the marginal adaptation of crowns fabricated by using three different resin-ceramic computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials. Materials and Methods: Crowns fabricated from three different resin-ceramic CAD/CAM blocks, applied on a typodont premolar (#14), were tested with regard to marginal adaptation, in this in vitro study. The typodont maxillary first premolar was prepared to serve as the master die and digitized with an intraoral scanner. The same virtual crown design was used to fabricate all specimens. Forty-eight crowns were fabricated from the same virtual crown design using three different CAD/CAM resin-ceramic blocks as follows (n = 16): Lava Ultimate (LU), GC Cerasmart (GC), Vita Enamic (VE). Master die and crowns were scanned with a laboratory scanner and three-dimensional data were transferred into three-matic software. The software calculated the mean of the marginal discrepancy (MD) for each crown in negative and positive values, representing under and over estimation of the crown margin, respectively. A marginal discrepancy index (MDI) was obtained for each group using negative and positive MDs. All data were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's honest significance test (alpha = 0.05). Results: The analysis of variance showed no statistical differences between materials regarding the negative and positive MDs (P > .05). The MDI for LU was lower than GC and VE (P < .05). Conclusion: The marginal adaptation of different resin-ceramic materials was different with regard to MDI values. Nevertheless, the MD values of all groups were within the clinically acceptable range.

(2019) Orhan, Kaan; Ozemre, Mehmet Ozgur; Secgin, Cansu Koseoglu; Vural, Sevil Atalay; Gur, Gurkan; Kamburoglu, Kivanc
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of panoramic, periapical and two different Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) devices in the detection of dental caries of dog teeth ex vivo. A total of 880 teeth were investigated, 33 of which were with caries, whereas; 33 healthy teeth were the controls. Periapical, panoramic and CBCT scans were made for the assessment of the teeth. All images were evaluated separately by two observers experienced in image interpretation. The presence or absence of occlusal caries was scored using a 5-point scale. Kappa values were calculated to assess intra and interobserver agreement. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of different imaging methods in the detection of dental caries. For both observers, the order of success of the image sets in the estimation of the caries tooth was CBCT Morita, CBCT Iluma, periapical and panoramic radiograph (Area Under Curve (AUC): 0.929, 0.882, 0.861, and 0.704 for observer 1, AUC: 0.927, 0.896, 0.875, and 0.693 for observer 2, respectively). CBCT was found to be the best imaging method for the ex vivo detection of caries in dog teeth. In addition, panoramic images performed worse than all other modalities.
Gray value measurement for the evaluation of local alveolar bone density around impacted maxillary canine teeth using cone beam computed tomography
(2021) Secgin, Cansu Koseoglu; Karslioglu, Hazal; Ozemre, Mehmet Ozgur; Orhan, Kaan; 34162816
Background: To investigate whether any relationship between local alveolar bone density and maxillary canine impaction using gray values from cone beam computed tomography. Material and Methods: The cone beam computed tomography images of 151 patients were retrospectively evaluated. Maxillary canine was defined as an impacted tooth when root formation was complete and the patient's age older than 13 or the other side of the maxillary canine has completely erupted. Similarly, complete eruption was defined as the tooth in its expected occlusion and position. Using the cone beam computed tomography software, the region of interest which was 5 mm2 in area, was placed in the trabecular bone on cross sectional cone beam computed tomography images and the gray value measurements were recorded. After measuring the gray values of all the teeth, the images were grouped according to the field of view size. Comparison of the gray values of impacted and non-impacted teeth was made between images with the same field of view size. Results: A total of 151 patients, 101 (66.9%) female and 50 (33.1%) male, were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 24.94 +/- 13.9. In images with a 40X40 field of view, the gray values of the impacted canine teeth were higher than the gray values of the non-impacted ones and statistically significant difference was found between them (p= 0.003). However no statistically significant difference was found between the gray values of impacted and non-impacted canine teeth in 60x60 and 100x50 field of view (p= 0.197, p= 0.170, respectively). Conclusions: We suggest using the smallest field of view size when evaluating bone density using gray values from cone beam computed tomography images and we support the idea that the local increased bone density may influence on impaction.
Prevalence of Carotid Artery Calcification on Digital Panoramic Radiographs in Hemodialysis Patients on Kidney Transplant Waiting List
(2021) Inonu, Elif; Yilmaz, Mediha Nur Nisanci; Orhan, Kaan; Ozemre, Mehmet Ozgur; Ogutcu, Nagehan Burcu; Kal, Oznur; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6768-0176; 34387149
Objectives: The detection of carotid artery calcification at an early stage is important to reduce the effects of cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study sought to evaluate the prevalence of carotid artery calcification from panoramic radiographs of patients who were undergoing hemodialysis and to assess the relationship between such calcification and certain medical and periodontal parameters. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 120 panoramic radiographs from patients who were undergoing hemodialysis for the presence of carotid artery calcification. Full-mouth periodontal clinical and medical parameters were recorded, and patients were diagnosed on the basis of the new periodontal disease classification. Patient medical records from the same period (the same week) during which the panoramic radiographs were taken were also assessed. Results: Among the 120 participating patients, panoramic radiographs from 27 patients (22.5%) showed a uni- or bilaterally radiopaque mass. Of the periodontal clinical parameters investigated for associations between patients with and without carotid artery calcification, there was only a significant difference shown for probing pocket depth (P =.017). No significant differences were found between the groups with and without carotid artery calcification with regard to any other medical or periodontal parameter. Conclusions: In our study group, suspected carotid artery calcifications were detected on panoramic radiographs in about one-fourth of total patients receiving hemodialysis. Because of the significant relationship found between probing pocket depth and carotid artery calcification, the presence of periodontal disease may be associated with calcifications in these patients. Dentists should maintain awareness in detecting these lesions when evaluating panoramic radiographs of patients undergoing hemodialysis.

(2020) Cetin, Mehtap Bilgin; Onder, Canan; Orhan, Kaan; Kumbasar, Deniz; Serdar, Muhittin Abdulkadir; Unsal, Elif; 32648271
Objective The objective of the study is to examine the connection between oral status and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD), which is diagnosed by angiography. Background Periodontitis and tooth loss have been linked to atherosclerosis and CAD in previous studies. However, no distinct connection was revealed due to the diversity of the results and the variety of diagnostic methods. To provide a more consistent data pool and stronger evidence, there is a need for studies with standard measurements and diagnostic criteria. Methods 309 patients, who consulted to Ankara University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Cardiology and had coronary angiography, were enrolled to this study. Individuals were grouped based on their coronary angiography results, as CAD (+) (n = 233) and CAD (-) (n = 76). Studied parameters included cardiovascular risk factors, plaque index (PI), remaining teeth count, bleeding on probing (BOP), and probing pocket depth (PPD). Periapical radiographs were taken from teeth with >= 4 mm PPD. Oral status was categorized as periodontally healthy subjects/patients with gingivitis (Group 1), patients with periodontitis (Group 2), and edentulous subjects (Group 3). Results PI (P < 0.001), PPD (P = 0.001), BOP (P = 0.004), the number of patients with less than 10 teeth (P = 0.014), and edentulism (P = 0.009) were significantly higher in CAD (+) patients, who were mostly older (P < 0.001) and male (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that Group 2 (odds ratio = 2.48, 95% confidence interval = 1.24-4.95,P = 0.010) and Group 3 (odds ratio = 2.01, 95% confidence interval = 1.14-5.17,P = 0.040) were highly associated with CAD. Two and three stenosed vessels were significantly higher in Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1 (P = 0.003). Conclusions It was found that both edentulism and periodontitis were related to CAD.
