Item Effects of Renal Transplantation and Hemodialysis on Patient's General Health Perception and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Study(2020) Oduncuoglu, Bahar Fusun; Alaaddinoglu, Emine Elif; Colak, Turan; Akdur, Aydincan; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-8726-3369; 0000-0002-8372-7840; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0003-0647-9481; 32113695; AAA-3068-2021; AAJ-8554-2021; AAJ-8097-2021; AAQ-4792-2020Background. Patients with end-stage renal disease have a lower quality of life compared to the general population. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is of particular interest as good oral health could influence general health. This study aimed to compare dental and periodontal health status, OHRQoL, and general health perception of renal transplant (TX) and hemodialysis patients (HD) with that of healthy controls. Methods. The study included 64 TX, 63 HD, and 61 healthy patients. TX patients were also grouped according to the time elapsed after transplantation and currently use of immunosuppressive agents. The numbers of decayed, missing, and filled teeth were recorded as DMFT, and periodontal health status was evaluated. Patients' general health perceptions and OHRQoL were assessed using Short Form-36, Oral Health Impact Profile-14, and OHRQoL-United Kingdom questionnaires. Results. The HD groups presented significantly higher DMFT scores and periodontal scores than TX and control groups. OHRQoL-United Kingdom total scores of TX and HD groups were lower than controls (P < .05). Oral Health Impact Profile-14 total scores revealed that HD groups' OHRQoL was significantly lower than TX and control groups (P < .05). Perceptions of general health of TX patients were higher than in the HD group. Conclusions. Renal transplantation has shown to increase quality of life and OHRQoL compared to hemodialysis therapy. Neither the immunosuppressive agent nor the time elapsed after transplantation were observed to be significant factors affecting OHRQoL.Item Evaluation of patients' perception of gingival recession, its impact on oral health-related quality of life, and acceptance of treatment plan(2020) Yilmaz, Merve; Oduncuoglu, Bahar Fusun; Nisanci Yilmaz, Mediha Nur; 0000-0003-0647-9481; 0000-0002-6410-2060; 32379509; AAQ-4792-2020Objective: Gingival recessions (GR) may cause aesthetic and hypersensitivity complaints which might affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the patients' awareness of their own GR, the impact of GR on OHRQoL and the acceptance of suggested treatment modalities. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 205 patients. The demographic variables were recorded and patients' perception of GR was questioned. Full-mouth examination was carried out and clinical parameters were recorded. Gingival recessions, GR related complaints were evaluated and GR treatments were suggested and acceptance were also recorded by the examiner. The patients filled out OHRQoL-United Kingdom (OHRQoL-UK) questionnaire regarding to their GR and were asked if GR have/would have impact on oral health and if the GR will/would get worsen. Data was analysed with independent t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: 4819 teeth were evaluated and 733 GR examined in 147 patients. Fifty-seven patients were unaware of their GR. A strong belief that GR have impact on oral health (88.78%) and GR will progress (86.34%) was detected. Acceptance of treatment was increased and non-invasive modalities were preferred if patients had complaints. The awareness of GR status increases and the misperception decreases the OHRQoL-UK scores. The results revealed that hypersensitivity decreases the OHRQoL-UK scores and aesthetic concerns and hypersensitivity decreases the OHRQoL-UK physical scores significantly (p < .05). Conclusions: The results indicated that the patients might be unaware of their GR and the GR related factors may lead to poorer OHRQoL.Item Methodological evaluation of gingival crevicular fluid volume and neutrophil elastase levels: sequential sampling, length of sampling time and two different sampling methods(2019) Kayar, Nezahat Arzu; Oduncuoglu, Bahar Fusun; Haliloglu, Seyfullah; Serpek, Behic; Ataoglu, Tamer; Alptekin, Nilgun Ozlem; 0000-0003-0647-9481; 31852321; AAH-5405-2020; AAQ-4792-2020Objectives: The mechanisms underlying the formation and composition of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and its flow into and from periodontal pockets are not understood very well. The aim of this study was to evaluate the length of sampling time and sequential sampling of GCF neutrophil elastase (NE) enzyme levels by using intracrevicular and orifice methods. Material and methods: Twenty adults (mean age of 41.8 years, ranged 31-60 years, 18 males and 2 females) with chronic periodontitis were enrolled and all completed the 3-d study. GCF was collected by both intracrevicular and intrasulcular methods, 720 samples of GCF were collected. In first, second and third day, the length of sampling time in seconds (s) and order were '5- 10-30-s'; '10- 30- 5-s' and '30- 5- 10-s,' respectively. GCF elastase levels were determined by hydrolysis of neutrophil specific substrate N-methoxysuccinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-p-nitroanilide. Results: NE activity (mu U) and NE activity/volume (mu U/mu l) were significantly different for order of sampling (p < .05), but not for the length of sampling time (p>.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, the choice of sampling technique in GCF-profile studies seems to be a critical decision as it has the potential to affect the GCF volume and NE activity.
