ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effects of verbal and video‐based oral hygiene instructions (OHIs) on improvement status (OHS) in children different age groups mixed dentition period. Methods In total, 202 aged 6–9 10–12 years ( n = 101 each) were included. Before providing OHIs, baseline OHS was determined using Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI‐S). From each group, approximately half participants randomly assigned to 50 51 from 6–9‐year 10–12‐year groups, respectively) or OHI groups....

Bruxism is defined as recurrent masticatory muscle activity. Although there not an agreed treatment method for bruxism, the application of botulinum toxin A (BT-A) has become a reliable lately. This study aimed to evaluate correlation between changes in masseter thickness and clenching habits bruxism patients treated with BT-A.Twenty-five patients, 23 females 2 males, diagnosed possible sleep were included study. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index was applied determine their depression levels both...

Background Inflammation is associated with hydroxyl radical damage to DNA as a result of oxidative stress. 8‐Hydroxy deoxyguanosine (8‐ OHdG ) marker this process and its levels in saliva could be linked the severity periodontal inflammation. The aim study was test sensitivity liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry ( LC ‐ MS / MS) comparison enzyme‐linked immune sorbent assay ELISA) for detection 8‐ patients chronic periodontitis before after treatment. Methods Saliva samples were...

Short implants have become popular in the reconstruction of jaws, especially cases with limited bone height. Shorter implants, those locking tapers and plateau root shapes, tend to longer survival times. We retrospectively investigated cumulative rates Bicon short (<8 mm) according patient variables over a 5-year period.This study included 111 consecutively treated patients 371 supporting fixed or removable prosthetics. Data were evaluated acquire gender, age, tobacco use, surgical...

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels burnout and explore relationships between occupational participation among dentists with teaching responsibilities. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) used evaluate questions on demographic information 155 Age, gender, years experience, academic position were factors affecting level participation. performance score negatively correlated emotional exhausment (r = –.731) depersonalization –.693) while positively personal...

The aim of the present study was to assess presence and course anterior loop in mental foramen region according age gender, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Both right left sides were retrospectively studied 141 patients (n = 282). Axial, sagittal, cross-sectional panoramic images evaluated three-dimensional reconstructed as necessary. morphology, length measured. reliability reproducibility assessed based on intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) variation. An found about 86%...

In the mandibular posterior region, presurgical imaging can provide valuable information of anatomical variants. The aim this study is to evaluate submandibular fossa anatomy in mandible using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.One hundred thirty-two preimplant CBCT examinations were used. Several morphometric measurements performed fossa. Moreover, each patient was classified according Kennedy classification. Statistical analysis used test relationship among measurements, sex, side,...

Radiographic determination of the bone level is useful in diagnosis and severity periodontal disease. Various two- three-dimensional imaging modalities offer choices for pathologic processes that affect periodontium. In recent years, innovative computer techniques, especially artificial intelligence (AI), have begun to be used many areas dentistry are helping increase treatment diagnostic performance. This study was aimed at developing a machine-learning (ML) model assessing extent which it...

Background and Objectives: We aimed to develop a predictive model for the outcome of bruxism treatments using ultrasonography (USG)-based machine learning (ML) techniques. This study is quantitative research (predictive modeling study) in which different treatment methods applied patients are evaluated through artificial intelligence. Materials Methods: The population comprised 102 participants with three groups: Manual therapy, therapy Kinesio Tape or Botulinum Toxin-A injection. USG...

Abstract The developmental biology of Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on table grape (Vitis spp.) leaves (‘Soultanina’) was studied at seven constant temperatures—15, 17.5, 20, 25, 30, 32.5, and 35°C—under laboratory conditions. Developmental time adult longevity were inversely related to temperature. No nymphs hatched from eggs when incubated 15 35°C, whereas no survived 32.5°C. highest egg-to-adult survival (72.09%) found 30°C the lowest (48.80%) 25°C. mean total...
