Comparison of zygoma plates and infrazygomatic crest miniscrews used open bite treatment: A 3-dimensional finite element study
Arslan Çarpar, Kübra
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate infrazygomatic crest (IZC) miniscrews, which represent a new approach to maxillary posterior tooth intrusion and extra-alveolar skeletal anchorage, using 3-dimensional f inite element stress analysis to predict the clinical usability instead of zygoma plates. Methods: Six different models were developed. The direction of the intrusion force was generated parallel to the maxillary first molar, and the posterior bite-block intrusion appliance was connected with 2 steel arches. A zygoma plate, stainless steel (SS)-IZC miniscrew, and a titanium alloy (TiA)-IZC miniscrew were used as anchorage units, and 200 g and 400 g of intrusion forces were applied. The cortical bone, spongious bone, stress values, and displacements in the anchorage unit were exami...

Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of orthodontics, a specialty of dentistry,amongst Medical Students. Materials and Method: A sample of 550 students (279 female, 226 male aged between 18 and 36 years) were attented.Of the subjects, 58.6% (n = 296) were preclinical students, while 41.4% (n = 209) were clinical students. The students were informed about the questionnaire and asked to fill in the questionnaire forms. For the comparison of data between groups (gender, level of education), the chi-square test was used. A chi-square test was used for statistical evaluation and the p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: 385 students (76.2%) had heard the term orthodontics although 41.2% of the subjects knew that orthod...
Ağız Kokusunun Teşhisi, Tedavisi ve Ortodonti ile İlişkisi
Arslan Çarpar, Kübra
ÖZET : Ağız kokusu, çoğu insanın önlemeye çalıştığı hoş olmayan bir problemdir. Ağız kokusu nüfusun çoğunluğunda bulunur ve bu durumdan muzdarip olan bireylerde sosyal ve psikolojik problemlere, sosyal ve kişisel izolasyona neden olabilir. Bu nedenle ağız kokusu ile ilgili çalışmaların varlığı oldukça önem kazanmaktadır. Ağız kokusunun oluşumunda bakteriler önemli rol üstlenmektedir. Bakteriler ağız kokusunun ana nedeni olan uçucu sülfür bileşiklerinin oluşumuna neden olmaktadırlar. Sülfür bileşiklerinin ve diğer organik bileşiklerin değerlendirilmesinde birçok yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Subjektif metodlar bulunduğu gibi özellikle ölçüm yapan kişinin koku duyarlılığından etkilenmeyecek olan objektif metodların kullanımı daha çok tercih edilmektedir. Ağız kokusu tespiti yapı...
