    (2014) Ozdemir, Erdem; Gulsahi, Kamran; Korkmaz, Yonca; Erkut, Selim; Tuncer, Abidin Hakan; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3510-7265; AAX-5565-2021
    The effect of adhesive systems on microleakage in endodontically treated teeth restored with glass fiber posts was studied. Forty carious and crack-free premolars were prepared using a stepback technique and obturated with gutta-percha. The endodontically treated roots were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10). Glass fiber posts cemented following adhesive luting agents; group 1: All Bond 3/Duo Link (ALB/DL), group 2: One-Step Plus/Duo-Link (OSP/DL), group 3: Panavia F 2.0/Panavia ED Primer II (PAN/ED), and group 4: Rely X Unicem (RU). All specimens were thermal cycled and stored in basic fuchsin solution for one week. The roots were sectioned horizontally into three sections: apical, middle, and coronal. The occlusal direction of each section was digitally photographed under a stereomicroscope. Dye penetration area was calculated as the basic fuchsin infiltrated surface divided by total dentin. The data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Tests (alpha = 0.05). The mean area measurements were ranged between 0 and 3.7357. According to the Mann-Whitney U test, there was no significant difference among the groups and sections (p > 0.05). Intragroup comparisons showed a significant difference between coronal-apical and middle-coronal sections in Panavia group (p = 0.043) by Wilcoxon Signed Test. It was found that there was no significant difference among four groups and the apical, coronal, and middle sections. The only difference was found for the group of PAN/ED between coronal-apical and coronal-middle sections.

    (2014) Acar, Ozlem; Erkut, Selim; Ozcelik, Tuncer Burak; Ozdermr, Erdem; Akcil, Mehtap; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5685-4409; 24360008; JJF-5618-2023
    Statement of problem. it is not clear whether newly introduced cordless displacement systems are better able to manage gingiva than conventional systems. Purpose. The purpose of this in vivo study was to evaluate the gingival management ability of 4 different displacement methods with a standardized subgingival preparation finish line. Material and methods. The effects of 4 displacement techniques on gingival management and impression quality were evaluated by means of 6 evaluation criteria. A subgingival preparation finish line of between 1 and 2 mm was ensured, and the buccal aspects of 252 (n=63) teeth were clinically assessed for ease of application, time spent, bleeding, remnants, and dilatation. The complete reproduction of the preparation finish line and the bubble and void formations on polyether impressions were also evaluated. The data were statistically analyzed with the chi(2) test (alpha=.05). The Bonferroni correction was used to control Type I error for the pairwise comparison groups (alpha=.008). Results. Statistically significant differences were found for all criteria among the groups (P<.05). The nonimpregnated displacement cord group was the least effective group in terms of bleeding and impression quality (P<.008). The aluminum chloride impregnated cord group and the displacement paste with cap group were found to be comparable in terms of remnants, dilatation, and impression quality (P>.008). The retraction cap with paste group showed better results for ease of application, time spent, and bleeding than the aluminum chloride impregnated cord group (P<.008). Although the group with aluminum chloride impregnated cord, displacement paste, and cap showed better results for dilatation, it was time consuming and difficult (P<.008). Conclusions. Except for the nonimpregnated cord group, all of the groups were comparable and clinically useful, with perfect or acceptable impression qualities.

    Effect of Different Surface-Cleaning Techniques on The Bond Strength of Composite Resin Restorations
    (2014) Erkut, Selim; Yilmaz, Burak; Bagis, Bora; Kucukemen, Cigdem; Ozdemir, Erdem; Acar, Ozlem; 24939254
    Statement of problem. Different techniques have been suggested for cleaning dentin surfaces after the removal of an interim prosthesis and before the application of a bonding agent. How different surface-cleaning techniques affect the bond strength of the composite resin restorations is not clear. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different surface-cleaning techniques on the bond strength of composite resin restorations and the surface topography of the prepared tooth surfaces. Material and methods. The occlusal surfaces of 25 molars were ground until the dentin was exposed. A bonding agent and interim cement were applied on the teeth. The teeth were divided into 5 groups (n=5) according to the method used for surface-cleaning (microairborne-particle abrasion, alcohol, rubber-rotary instrument, desiccating agent, and control). Once the surfaces of the teeth had been cleaned, the same bonding material was applied to the teeth. A 5-mm-thick composite resin layer was built up. Each specimen was sectioned to microbars, and 6 centrally located beams were selected for microtensile testing (n=30) (1.10 +/- 0.10 mm). The data were statistically analyzed with 1-way ANOVA (1-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). The Bonferroni test was used for significantly different groups (alpha=.05). One specimen from each group was observed under a scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis also was performed. Results. Bond strength values were in the following descending order: microairborne-particle abrasion, desiccating agent, alcohol, rubber-rotary instrument, control. Differences between the microairborne-particle abrasion group and the remainder of the groups, desiccating agent-rubber-rotary instrument, desiccating agent-control, alcohol-rubber-rotary instrument, and alcohol-control groups, were statistically significant (P<.05). The microairborne-particle abrasion group displayed the roughest surface and a different surface topography from the remainder of the groups. Increased aluminum was observed in the microairborne-particle abrasion group. Conclusions. Surface-cleaning techniques, except for the rubber-rotary instrument, increased the bond strength of composite resin. The roughest dentin surfaces and highest bond strength were achieved with the microairborne-particle abrasion technique.

    The Effect of Different Polishing Sequences on the Adhesion of Streptococcus mutans to Feldspathic Porcelain
    (2016) Yuzugullu, Bulem; Celik, Cigdem; Ozcelik, Tuncer Burak; Erkut, Selim; Yurdakul, Pinar; Ocal, Yesim; Sener, Burcin; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5936-0196; AAA-1576-2021
    The aim of this research was to determine whether extra-oral surface treatments on feldspathic porcelain surfaces influence initial adhesion of Streptococcus mutans. Ninety-six porcelain specimen discs were fabricated and divided into six equal groups according to surface treatment: fine-grit diamond polishing (Group 1); self-glazing (Group 2); overglazing (Group 3); overglazing followed by a finishing procedure and then overglazing (Group 4); Pearl Surface polishing (Group 5); and Diamond Twist SCLTM polishing (Group 6). Surface roughness and hydrophobicity were assessed. An S. mutans suspension was incubated on each specimen group and evaluated. A one-way analysis of variance, post-hoc Tukey honestly significantly different test, Friedman test, and t-test were used for statistical analysis. Group 1 showed the highest surface roughness (p < 0.001) and bacterial adhesion (p < 0.05). Groups 5 and 6 specimen surfaces presented significantly higher contact angles (p < 0.05). Group 1 had the highest S. mutans adhesion, followed by Groups 3, 5, 6, 2, and 4 (p < 0.05). Reglazing after grinding may therefore decrease bacterial adhesion beneficially.

    The influence of zirconia coping designs on maximum principal stress distribution in all-ceramic premolar crowns: A finite element analysis
    (2019) Diker, Burcu; Erkut, Selim; 31675195
    Purpose: To evaluate the effects of different coping designs on maximum principal stresses in the veneering material using a finite element analysis method. Methods: A maxillary first premolar tooth model was prepared. The primary and prepared tooth model were scanned with a 3D (three dimensional) scanner. Four different coping and veneer models were designed with 3D computer-aided design software: conventional design (DC); design with 3 mm palatal shoulder (DP); design with 1 mm buccal shoulder and 3 mm palatal shoulder (DB); and design with buccal facet (DF). After the models were designed, they were transferred to the finite element analysis (FEA) software for analyses. The middle points of the buccal, mesial, distal and palatal surfaces were determined in the cervical region. For all models, the maximum principal stress distributions and values of porcelain veneer were evaluated under centric occlusion loading and laterotrusive loading conditions with a FEA. Results: The maximum principal stress area decreased gradually from model DC to model DB on the buccal cervical region under centric occlusion loading. However, models DF and DP showed similar stress distribution. The maximum principal stress at the distal point decreased from DC (14.7 MPa) to DP (13.5 MPa) and DB (9.6 MPa), whereas increased in model DF (33 MPa). Under laterotrusive loading, both the palatal maximum principal stress area and the stress value at the palatal point (model DC: 13.1 MPa, model DP: 3 MPa, model DB: 4MPa) decreased with the palatal shoulder.
