Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported on 31 December 2019 and has rapidly been spreading day by day. Dental patients professionals have a high risk of the coronavirus infection also huge responsibility to prevent its spread during emergency dental treatment over period COVID-19 outbreak.

Introduction: The global elderly population is increasing and becoming more susceptible to oral systemic diseases. Therefore, comprehensive clinical histopathological examinations of the maxillofacial area assess health this are crucial. This study aimed increase knowledge base regarding prevalence biopsied lesions among a sample Turkish (≥ 65 years age). Materials Method: records geriatric patients ≥ age, who underwent biopsy for pathological formation(s) in region between January 2017 2020...

Hypothyroidism has been associated with atherosclerosis. The mechanisms of atherosclerosis in patients thyroid failure remain controversial. Hypofibrinolysis might be a risk factor for thromboembolic disease subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). We measured fibrinolytic activity SH before and after levothyroxine (LT4) treatment compared it to those controls. prospectively included 35 30 healthy treated LT4 until almost 6 months the euthyroid state achieved. fibrinogen, D-dimer, antithrombin III...

Background: High levels of homocysteine and oxidative stress are known to be associated with premature vascular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim this study was estimate oxidant-antioxidant status determine the relationship between them diabetic patients without microalbuminuria. Methods: Fasting blood samples were obtained from 48 (17 31 microalbuminuria) 20 healthy subjects. Serum total (tHcy), plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) peroxidase (GPx)...

This study investigated the protective effects of carvedilol, a potent antioxidant, in rat model tourniquet-induced ischaemia-reperfusion injury hind limb. Thirty rats were divided equally into three groups: control group (group 1) was only anaesthetized, without creating an injury; 2 submitted to ischaemia (4 h), followed by 2-h reperfusion period; and 3 pre-treated with carvedilol (2 mg/kg per day) for 10 days prior ischaemia-reperfusion. Ischaemia-reperfusion produced significant decrease...

Objective: The oxidant–antioxidant balance plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD. aim present study was to evaluate effects exercise, as oxidative stress factor on and investigate whether short‐term antioxidant treatment affects lipid peroxidation products. Methodology: Twenty‐one stable COPD patients 10 control subjects were included study. Symptom‐limited exercise tests performed by all subjects. Blood collected before 1 h after before, 3 patients, for analysis...

Abstract Background The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effectiveness concentrated growth factors (CGF) in preventing development alveolar osteitis (AO) after extraction partially-erupted mandibular third molars. Methods Seventy patients (26 men and 44 women) 18 years or older (mean age 25.86; range 18–35) underwent 140 molar extractions. All presented with bilateral, molars surgical In each case, one socket received CGF other served as a control. predictor variable...

Reperfusion injury is a consequence of inadequate energy supply and acidosis in ischemic tissues chain events triggered by oxygen-derived free radicals released response to exposure oxygen. In this study, we aimed assess the effects clopidogrel, an antithrombotic agent, on experimental ischemia-reperfusion model rats. The ischemia was performed blockade circulation right lower extremity at trochanter major level for 6 hours. Then, reperfused 4 Another group rats pretreated with clopidogrel...

An insufficient bone volume at the maxillary anterior region often restricts dental implant treatment and commonly leads to poor aesthetic outcomes. The defective site requires grafting as an initial surgical intervention before placement. In implantology, reconstructing osseous defects using autologous block grafts, biomaterials, or a combination of both is routine procedure. This study aims evaluate efficacy autogenous, symphyseal, ring grafts after augmentation sockets clinical...

This study evaluated changes of lipids and lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] as atherosclerotic risk factors the effects levothyroxine (LT4) treatment on these parameters in patient with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH), defined by increased concentrations thyrotropin (TSH) normal thyroid hormone concentrations. We prospectively included 35 female patients SH 30 healthy controls. Serum lipid measurements clinical score well fT3, fT4, TSH levels were assessed at baseline. Body mass index (BMI) was also...

Aim: To evaluate the effect on vertical bone augmentation of screw tent-pole technique using particulate allograft in combination with injectable platelet-rich fibrin, and to compare this autogenous block graft. Materials Methods: This split-mouth randomized controlled study involved patients bilateral partial edentulism loss posterior mandible. In each patient, control side was treated graft harvested from mandibular ramus and, test side, employed, fibrin. All augmented sites were covered...

Ischemia and reperfusion injury is a pathologic process with serious consequences, arising due to interruption of arterial blood flow. Restored flow achieved after the ischemic period causes formation oxygen radicals by activation variety substances systems. In this study, we investigated effect clopidogrel, an antithrombocyte agent, on tissue nitric oxide (NO) levels in experimental ischemia model. For purpose, 6 hours 4 subsequent were applied right lower extremities subjects. Clopidogrel...

Respiratory viruses (RVs) are frequently present in the airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) during pulmonary exacerbations (PEx).This prospective, longitudinal study was performed to examine role RVs acute children CF. Sputum samples or additional midturbinate swabs were tested from all using a polymerase chain reaction panel. The primary aims determine prevalence and etiologic CF compare changes RV-positive RV-negative infections. secondary predictive factors for RV-related...

Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of benign odontogenic lesions that associated with crown an unerupted or impacted tooth. They constitute second cystic lesion jaws, after radicular cysts. cyst surrounding teeth often displace these into ectopic positions. Ectopic eruption regions other than oral cavity is but dentigerous within maxillary sinus fairly rare. The diagnosis usually made by panoramic radiography. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) indicated when tooth antral mass and...

Amaç: Günümüzde dental implant uygulamaları, yük- sek başarı oranı nedeniyle diş hekimliği kliniğinde rutin bir tedavi seçeneği haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; 2010-2015 yılları arasında ağız ve çene cerrahisi uygulanan farklı ticari markalara ait implantların oranlarının geriye dönük değerlendirilmesinin yapılarak başarısızlık nedenlerini açıklayabilmektir. Gereç Yöntem: çalışmada; Ege Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız Çene Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı'na başvuran 271 hastaya...
