Item Confirming the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder by magnetic resonance imaging(2020) Yilmaz, Busra; Somay, EfsunPurpose: The aim of this study was to define the temporomandibular joint complaints of patients with different genders and educational levels and to investigate the accuracy of these complaints with the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder (TJD) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRII). Material and Methods: Temporomandibular joint MRI and clinical examination findings and panoramic radiographs of 99 patients over 18 years of age who applied to the dental clinic between 2011-2018 with the complaint of jaw pain and limited mouth opening are evaluated. The cases which TJD was determined as a result of MRI, are accepted as MRI (+). The ones with the complaints of TJD, but the joint was within normal limits in the MRI, MRI is recorded as (-). Results: There is significant correlation between MRI results and gender but no correlation between MRI results and tooth loss. It is found education level did not have significant effect on the described joint complaints and MRI (+) findings. Conclusion: Women describe temporomandibular joint problems better than men. Even if the level of education is high, patients may not be able to convey their complaints correctly to the physician. Clinical findings should be supported by MRI results in order to diagnose this disease.Item Effect of different prophylactic polishing procedures on the surface roughness of microhybrid and nanohybrid resin composites(2018) Yamanel, K.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of different professional dental prophylaxis procedures on the surface roughness of a microhybrid (Charisma, Heraeus-Kulzer) and a nanohybrid (Ice, SDI Dental) resin composites. Materials and Methods: 45 disc shaped (2 mm thick /8 mm in diameter) specimens of each restorative materials (totally 90 specimens) were prepared using plexyglass mold. Specimens were polished with medium, fine and ultra-fine Sof-Lex (3M-ESPE) discs and 45 specimens of each composite were randomly divided into five groups (n=9). The first group received no prophylaxis treatment and served as control. The other groups received prophlaxis procedures including Detartrine paste (Septodont) with rotating rubber cup, Gelato paste (Keystone Industries) with rotating rubber cup, pumice-water slurry with rotating rubber cup and pumice-water slurry with rotating brush. After prophlaxis procedures surface roughness values of all specimens were measured using an optical prophylometer (Zygo New View 7200, Ametek). Data was statistically analyzed using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis Tests at the 0.01 and 0.025 level of significance respectively. Results: The smoothest surfaces were observed in control groups for both resin composites (p < 0.001). Control groups' surface roughness values of resin composites tested were significantly different (p < 0.001). However there were no statistically significant differences between surface roughness values of microhybrid and nanohybrid resin composites that received same prophylaxis treatment. Gelato paste, pumice-water slurry with rotating rubber cup and pumice-water slurry with rotating brush caused significantly rougher surfaces than control group but surface roughness values obtained with Detartrine were not significantly different from the control group in both composites. Conclusions: All prophylaxis procedures tested in the study increased the roughness values of both composites to a level that would be retantive to bacteria. Because of that dental professional must be careful during prophylaxis procedures otherwise repolishing or rarely repair of the composite restoration would be necessary after prophylaxis. © 2018 Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry.Item Investigation of Antibacterial Prescribing Situations in Dentistry Faculties and Other Dental Health Institutions(2017) Kirmizi, N. Ipek; Aydin, Mehtap; Koyuncuoglu, Cenker Z.; Aksoy, Mesil; Kadi, Esma; Alkan, Ali; Akici, Ahmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4044-9366; HLX-0937-2023Objective: The relationship between the institutions where dentists work and their prescribing performance is not known. This study aimed to investigate antibacterial prescribing practices of dentists working in different healthcare institutions. Material and Method: Dentists' antibacterial-containing prescriptions were analyzed by using Prescription Information System (PIS) of Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency. Distribution of antibacterial-containing prescriptions that were prescribed by dentists in universities and other healthcare institutions, starting from January 2013 for a total of 32 months was examined in terms of diagnosis and time periods. Results: It was found that very few number of antibacterials (n=9,952) were prescribed in dentistry faculties (DF) while most of them (n=13,069,333) were prescribed in other dental health institutions (DHI). In both DF and DHI, the most common prescribed antibacterial group was "beta lactam antibacterials-penicillins" (93.7% and 71.3%, respectively) and as an antibacterial agent it was "amoxicillin + enzyme inhibitors" (69.7% and 57.9%, respectively). These were followed by amoxicillin (21.9%) and clindamycin (1.5%) in DF; spiramycin (10.4%) and amoxicillin (9.2%) in DHI. The most frequently prescribed diagnoses were "embedded teeth" and "periapical abscesses-without sinus" in DF and DHI, respectively. Conclusion: This study was the first to reveal similar and different aspects of antibacterial prescribing behaviors between the DF and DHI dentists in Turkey. Although preference of the most common drug was similar, detailed examinations showed variations in antibacterial prescribing behaviors of dentists practicing in universities and other institutions.Item Riga-Fede disease like ulcers in old age: A case report(2019) Mansur, Ayse Tulin; Deniz, Kagan; Ozdemir, KeremRiga-Fede disease (RFD) is a traumatic, reactive benign disorder characterized by persistent ulceration on the tip or ventral surface of the tongue, seen mainly in infants and children. Lesions tend to develop after the eruption of natal or primary incisors, resulting from repetitive traumatic damage due to backward and forward movements of the tongue over the lower incisors. A literature survey has revealed a very limited number of reported cases of RFD in adults. Herein we reported a 70-year-old female patient who developed RFD-like ulcers on the tongue and buccal mucosa during the previous two months, while under treatment of dental implants. Histopathological examination and direct immunofluorescence of the ulcers and periulcer area did not yield a specific diagnosis. The lesions were resistant to systemic steroid treatment, however, after applying for a soft dental plate nightly for protection of the tongue and buccal mucosa, all ulcers completely healed in two months. With regard to the presented patient, we have reviewed the cases of RFD or RFD-like ulcers reported in adults and discussed the factors contributing to ulcer formation in our patient.
