Item Age estimation in Turkish children and young adolescents using fourth cervical vertebra(2020) Gulsahi, Ayse; Cehreli, Sevi Burcak; Galic, Ivan; Ferrante, Luigi; Cameriere, Roberto; 31915966This study aimed to test radiographic projections of the posterior and anterior sides of the C4 vertebral body for age estimation in a cross-sectional sample of Turkish children and adolescents from the Baskent University Faculty of Dentistry. A sample of 232 x-rays from individuals aged between 5 and 15 years (101 boys and 131 girls) was analysed to investigate the correlation of age and changes in the projection ratio of the anterior and posterior sides of the body of the fourth cervical vertebra (Vba) in lateral cephalograms. The Normal Bayesian Calibration (NBC) model for age estimation was used to assess the relationship between Vba and age. The intra-observer repeatability and inter-observer agreement were 0.95 and 0.94, respectively. Age distribution gradually increased as Vba increased up to 14 years in both sexes. The difference between chronological and estimated ages did not increase with the increase in age. Calibration distributions of the dataset by the evaluation of Vba suggested mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 0.879 years and 0.906 years (mean interquartile ranges (MIQRs) 1.290 and 1.435 years)) in boys and girls, respectively. The biases of the estimates (beta(ERR)) were 0.013 and 0.027 for boys and girls, respectively. In conclusion, the NBC method on Vba variable appears to be suitable for age estimation in Turkish children and adolescents.Item THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SKELETAL AND MANDIBULAR/ALVEOLAR BONE QUALITY AFTER SOLID ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION(2020) Oduncuoglu, Bahar; Gulsahi, Ayse; Arhun, Neslihan; Colak, Turan; Haberal, Mehmet A.Item Comparison of mandibular index values determined from standard panoramic versus cone beam computed tomography reconstructed images(2019) Secgin, Cansu Koseoglu; Gulsahi, Ayse; Yavuz, Yasemin; Kamburoglu, Kivanc; 30497908Objective. The aim of this study was to compare mandibular index values, including the mandibular cortical index (MCI), mental index (MI), and panoramic mandibular index (PMI), determined on the basis of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic reconstructed (PR) images. Study Design. PR and CBCT images of 182 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Cross-sectional (CS) and PR images were obtained from CBCT data. The MCI, MI, and PMI were assessed on CS, PR, and panoramic images and evaluated for intra- and interobserver agreements by kappa-value or intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis. Agreement among measurement methods was assessed by using the Bland-Altman method, with CS images as the gold standard for linear measurements. Results. Measurements from PR and CS images agreed with those from panoramic images in 66.7% and 53.8% of C3 classifications of MCI (porous cortices forming many endosteal residues), respectively. Panoramic and CBCT images exhibited good agreement in MI findings (ICC 0.91) and moderate (PR and panoramic images: ICC 0.79) to good (CS and panoramic images: ICC 0.87) agreement in PMI findings. Conclusions. Because of the overlapping of buccal and lingual cortices, panoramic images are especially inadequate for determining the C3 category of MCI. However, CS images obtained from available CBCT data provide better visibility compared with panoramic images and, therefore, can be used for evaluating mandibular indices.Item Evaluation of maxillary trabecular microstructure as an indicator of implant stability by using 2 cone beam computed tomography systems and micro-computed tomography(2019) Kulah, Kivanc; Gulsahi, Ayse; Kamburoglu, Kivanc; Geneci, Ferhat; Ocak, Mert; Celik, H. Hamdi; Ozen, Tuncer; 30595501Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the trabecular microarchitecture of the maxilla by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) ex vivo. Study Design. Seventeen maxillary cadaver specimens were scanned by using micro-CT and CBCT devices. Samples were scanned with 2 CBCT devices at different voxel sizes (0.08, 0.125, and 0.160 mm for 3-D Accuitomo 170; 0.75 and 0.200 mm for Planmeca Promax 3-D Max). Morphometric parameters, such as bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) ratio, trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), and degree of anisotropy (DA) were assessed by using CTAnalyzer software. Bland-Altman limits of agreement and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were performed to evaluate agreement between CBCT and micro-CT in consideration of measured morphometric parameters. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. Results. The BV/TV, Tb.Th, Tb.Sp, and DA values were higher for CBCT images compared with micro-CT images, whereas the Tb. N value was lower with CBCT images than with micro-CT images. The BV/TV and DA parameters showed the highest agreement between CBCT and micro-CT devices (ICC = 0.421 for BV/TV and ICC = 0.439 for DA; P < .01). Conclusions. The BV/TV and DA parameters measured on CBCT obtained at the smallest voxel size were found to be useful for the assessment of maxillary trabecular microstructure.Item External apical root resorption after nonextraction orthodontic treatment with labial vs. lingual fixed appliances(2019) Pamukcu, Hande; Polat-Ozsoy, Omur; Gulsahi, Ayse; Ozemre, Mehmet Ozgur; 31792608Objectives The aim of this retrospective study is to compare external apical root resorption (EARR) after labial and lingual fixed orthodontic treatment, as detected with panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods Sixty subjects were divided into two groups according to the treatment type: lingual (30 patients) and labial (30 patients) fixed orthodontic treatment. Panoramic radiographs which were obtained at the beginning of treatment (T0) and at the end of the treatment (T1) were evaluated. The maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors, as well as canine crown and root lengths were measured for T0 and T1. Crown to root ratios were used to determine EARR. Data were evaluated using analysis of variance and chi(2) analysis. Results In all, 5 patients (16.7%) in the lingual group and 7 patients (23.3%) in the labial group had a minimum of one tooth with severe EARR, while 9 patients (30%) in the lingual group and 14 patients (46.7%) in the labial group had no EARR. A total of 26 teeth (7.2%) in the lingual group and 34 teeth (9.4%) in the labial group developed severe EARR; however, 184 teeth (51.1%) in the lingual group and 202 teeth (56.1%) in the labial group did not reveal any EARR. No statistically significant difference was found for the resorption rates between the treatment groups (p> 0.05). Although not statistically significant, there was a higher percentage of severe EARR in the mandible within the labial group. Conclusions Both lingual and labial orthodontic techniques showed statistically similar root resorption rates. EARR is a multifactorial issue and individual predispositions must also be taken into consideration.
