Long-term effect of diode laser irradiation compared to sodium fluoride varnish in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity in periodontal maintenance patients: a randomized controlled clinical study
Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
Objective: The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate and compare the desensitizing effects of a gallium?aluminum?arsenide (GaAlAs) laser and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish on dentine hypersensitivity (DH) in periodontal maintenance patients. Background data: The use of lasers opens a new dimension in the treatment of DH. Methods: Forty-eight patients with 244 teeth affected by DH were included in the trial. To be included in the study, the subjects had to have 4 or more hypersensitive teeth at different quadrants. Selected teeth were randomly assigned to a GaAlAs laser group, placebo laser group, NaF varnish group, or a placebo NaF varnish group. Laser therapy was performed at 8.5?J/cm(2) energy density. In the placebo laser group, the same laser without laser emission was used. In the...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser application to different surface treatments on the micropush-out bond strengths between glass and quartz fiber posts and composite resin core material. Background data: Different types of lasers have been used as an alternative to airborne particle abrasion and other surface treatment methods to enhance the bond strength of dental materials. However, there is no study regarding the use of Er,Cr:YSGG laser as a surface treatment method for fiber posts in order to improve the bond strength. Materials and methods: Ninety-six quartz and 96 glass fiber posts with a coronal diameter of 1.8 mm were randomly divided into eight groups according the surface...
Use of mineral trioxide aggregate in the treatment of invasive cervical resorption: a case report
Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
Introduction: Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a successful treatment procedure of periodontal reconstructive surgery. Adverse effects can be observed after GTR procedure, but external root resorption is rarely reported at clinical studies. Invasive cervical resorption is a clinical term used to describe a relatively uncommon, insidious, and often aggressive form of external root resorption. Methods: The present case demonstrates an invasive cervical resorption that is a potential late complication of GTR in a maxillary canine of a 59-year-old male patient. After the surgical intervention and root canal treatment, the resorption was subsequently sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate. Results: The 1-year follow-up demonstrates no pathologic changes on clinical and radiographic examinati...

Hastanın molar dişine kanal tedavisi yapılmış ve diş eksiklikleri sabit bölümlü protezlerle rehabilite edilmiştir. 2 yıllık takip sonucunda tedavilerin başarılı olduğu gözlenmiştir.
Dentin hassasiyeti ve tedavi yöntemleri
Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
karşımıza çıkan dentin hassasiyeti (DH) herhangi bir dental defekt veya patoloji ile açıklanamayan, kimyasal, termal, temas, ozmotik veya buharlaştırıcı uyarana karşı ortama açılmış dentin yüzeylerinden yayılan, kısa süreli keskin bir ağrı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Sert doku kaybı veya dişeti çekilmesiyle dentin yüzeyinin açığa ve dentin kanallarının oral kaviteye doğru açılmasıyla DH oluşabilir. Evde veya klinikte uygulanacak tedavinin belirlenmesinden önce tedavi planı etiyolojik faktörler ve hastanın oral hijyen alışkanlıkları da dikkate alınmalıdır. Tedavi ekspoze dentin kanallarını kapatarak tübüllerdeki sıvı akışını azaltmaya ve pulpadaki sinir iletimini bloke eden desensitivite edici birçok kimyasal ya da lazerlerin de dahil olduğu fiziksel ajanların kullanımına dayal...
Effectiveness of Er,Cr:YSGG laser on dentine hypersensitivity: a controlled clinical trial
Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
Aim: Attempts have been made to treat dentine hypersensitivity (DH) with lasers. However, there is limited knowledge on the effects of erbium, chromium-doped:yttrium, scandium, gallium and garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser on DH. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG laser on reduction in DH. Methods: Forty-two patients (146 teeth) were included. Teeth were assigned to an experimental group and irradiated with the Er,Cr:YSGG laser. In the control group same clinical instrument was used without laser emission. DH was assessed for both groups utilizing the visual analog scale. Plaque index (PI) scores were recorded immediately following treatment, at 1 week, 1 and 3 months. Results: The results showed that Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation had a significantly higher desensitizi...
Treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis with Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation: A randomized controlled split mouth clinical study
Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
The present randomized controlled split mouth clinical study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation on pain reduction and healing rate of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. 40 patients with RAS were recruited for this study and RAS ulcerations of each patient were randomly assigned to the control or test group. In the test group, Er,Cr:YSGG laser with non-contact mode was to irradiate RAS lesions. In the placebo group, RAS lesions were irradiated with the same device without laser emission. Pain was evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) while a clinician graded healing of RAS (HRAS). In the placebo group at immediate; scores of VAS presented no statistically significance; in the test group, laser application showed significant pain reducing, at 1st day control. In...

Cengiz Yanardag, Esra
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide (HP) and carbamide peroxide (CP) on the surface roughness of five different composite resins using profilometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thirty-six specimens (1 mm thick, 10 mm in diameter) of five composite resins were fabricated. Each composite group was equally divided into three subgroups as control, CP and HP. In control group, specimens were stored in daily refreshed distilled water during the 14-day testing period. In other groups, 10% HP (Opalescence Treswhite) and 10% CP (Opalescence PF) were applied and surface roughness values (Ra) of each specimen were measured with a profilometer at the end of 14 days. Additionally, SEM analysis was performed to evaluate the surface deformations of composit...
