Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural microporosity (MP) and marginal gap (MG) of different flowable composite resins placed with different instruments using micro-computed tomography (μCT). Materials and Methods: Standard Class II MOD cavities were prepared on 108 lower third molar teeth. Three different flowable composite resins; Filtek Bulk-fill, SDR Bulk-fill and I-Flow conventional flowable composite resin were applied to the cavities using a sharp explorer, a microbrush or an injector. After they were covered with a paste-like nanohybrid composite resin, μCT images were examined in terms of MP and MG. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests. Results: MP was observed less in explorer group than microbrush and injector groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between microbrush and injector groups (p > 0.05). i-FLOW flowable composite resin showed the highest MP rate compared to the other two groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between SDR and Filtek Bulk-fill in MP (p > 0.05). In terms of MG, i-FLOW presented higher MG values than other two materials (p < 0.05), while the instruments showed similar results (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Additional occluso-gingivally vibration of flowable materials with an explorer may be useful in the placement. Bulk-fill composite resins are better than conventional flowable composite resin in terms of MP and MG.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using toluidine blue O (TBO), curcumin (CUR) and methylene blue (MB) photosensitizers on root canal dentin microhardness by comparing it with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) + ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Materials and methods: The root canals of 100 human premolar teeth were shaped by the R25 file (Reciproc; VDW, Munich, Germany). The working length of the teeth was determined by using a #10 K-file, keeping it 1mm shorter than the tooth apex. The R25 file was used to prepare the root canals. After every three pecking motions, irrigation was performed and a total of 10 mm of distilled water was used. The specimens were randomly distributed according to the disinfection method; NaOCl+EDTA, PDT with TBO, PDT with CUR, PDT with MB and distilled water (DS) (n=20). Grooves were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of the prepared teeth, parallel to the long axis of the tooth, without touching the root canals. The roots were divided into two parts by means of a cement spatula placed in these grooves. Root canal dentin microhardness was evaluated by the Vickers test method. Three measurements were made by applying 300 g of force for 15 seconds and the average was calculated. It was recorded as the Vickers hardness value. The data were analyzed by using the one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post hoc tests (α=0.05). Results: All photosensitizer groups showed significantly higher microhardness value than the groups of DS and NaOCl + EDTA (p0.05). Conclusions: PDT with CUR obtained the highest radicular dentin microhardness.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the simulated canal shaping efficiencies of five different NiTi rotary file systems. Materials and Methods: In the study, 100 transparent resin blocks with J-shaped canals were randomly divided into five groups (n=20). Simulated canals were shaped with VDW.Rotate (VR), TruNatomy (TRN), HyFlex CM (HF), EdgeFile X7 (EF), or ProTaper Next (PTN) files. Ten measuring points were detected on the pre- and post-preparation images taken from the blocks and superimposed. After preparation, the total canal width and the amount of transportation were calculated for the determined measuring levels. Zipping and ledge formation, instrument fracture and deformation, and change in working length were evaluated. The data were statistically analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey test, Chi-Square test, and a Monte Carlo version of the Fisher Exact tests. The error level was taken as 0.05. Results: There were significant differences between the groups at all measuring levels in terms of total canal width after instrumentation (p = 0.001). Significant differences in the amount of transportation were found between the groups (p = 0.001) except at levels 4 (p = 0.169) and 10 (p = 0.054). Zip and instrument fractures did not occur in any group. 3 EF size 25/.04 files were deformed (p = 0.021). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of ledge formation and working length change (p > 0.05). Conclusions: According to findings obtained in the study, transportation occurred at all 10 measuring levels with all file systems used. HF and EF systems were found to be more reliable in terms of transportation in the middle and coronal regions. Wider canal preparation was obtained with the PTN system in the middle and coronal regions.

Abstract Objectives: The novel coronavirus pandemic has become a real challenge for provision of dental education. The aim of this survey study was to evaluate the opinions of dental faculty educators and students about online education after e-learning experience. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted on educators and 4th and 5th grade students at XXXXX University, Faculty of Dentistry. Questionnaire items for educators and students were categorized into the following factors: educators’/students’ personal and professional skills and attitudes towards online education, online theoretical education, online practical training, online exams, handling and quality of education during pandemic. The data obtained was recorded as percentage (%) and interpreted. Results: 52 (73%) educators participated in this survey study. 50% of them said online courses were not as successful as face-to-face learning. Moreover, 40% of the educators stated that shortened class times were not sufficient to convey the course content. 74% of the participants expressed belief that online exams do not properly gauge students’ lesson comprehension. In addition, 281 students (75%) participated in this survey study. 32% of the students stated that they easily adapted to online education conditions. However, 84% of the students stated that they do not think that online education increased their clinical skills. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that academicians hold a negative view of distance learning as they think online theoretical courses, practical training and exams impaired the quality of learning. On the other hand, dentistry students have a positive attitude towards online theoretical education but are concerned about clinical skill acquisition.

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a pathologic condition of multifactorial nature. The diagnosis of the same has been limited to clinical and radiographic aids with very little significance to assess its inflammatory component. objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the role of leptin, an adipocytokine as a non-invasive inflammatory biomarker in ECC. Materials and Method: A total of 60 children between the age of (3-5) years were selected for the study. The study subjects were divided into three groups of 20 each including Group 1 as control, Group 2 with mild to moderate ECC and Group 3 with severe ECC. Saliva samples were taken from all subjects and collected again after 2 months following rehabilitative intervention. Levels of salivary leptin were determined using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: Levels of salivary leptin were significantly associated with severity of dental caries. The intragroup comparisons of pre and post treatment levels of salivary leptin showed significant reductions in both mild to moderate ECC and severe ECC groups following caries control. Inter group evaluation between mild to moderate ECC and severe ECC post treatment showed statistically significant decline of leptin levels in comparison to baseline values. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant decline in salivary leptin levels between the mild moderate and severe ECC group, after 2 months following caries control. Thus, leptin holds a potential to be recognized as a reliable future prognostic and diagnostic inflammatory marker in early childhood caries.

Objectives: Cysts seen in the jaws may be odontogenic or non-odontogenic, depending on the tissue of origin. Although there are different methods to diagnose these lesions, histopathological examination of tissue biopsy of the lesion is accepted as the 'gold standard' in cases where the diagnosis is insufficient. Although there are different methods to diagnose these lesions, histopathological examination of tissue biopsy of the lesion is accepted as the 'gold standard' in cases where the diagnosis is insufficient. Materials and Methods: Pathology results of 436 patients who applied to Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic between 2016-2021 for any reason and underwent biopsy were retrospectively scanned using digital archives. While classifying the cyst, the criteria published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 were taken into account. Obtained results were recorded for statistical analysis. SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program (SPSS 22.0 Software Package Program, Inc. Chicago, IL, USA) was used as statistical software in the study. Results: Of the 436 patients included in the study, 250 (57.3%) were male and 186 (42.7%) were female. The ages of the patients ranged between 7 and 82 years, and the mean age of the patients was 35.5±15.8. As a result of the findings, it was determined that the most common cysts were radicular cysts (53.7%). Radicular cysts were most commonly located in the posterior mandible and anterior maxilla anatomically. Conclusions: In addition to clinical and radiological examination, histopathological examination of biopsy samples taken from tissues is of great importance in the correct diagnosis and treatment planning of jaw cysts.

Objectives: To provide pediatric nurses with knowledge and skills on oral and dental health and to increase their awareness. Material and Methods: In the first phase of the study, pre-tests were given to pediatric nurses in Trabzon and Rize central and district hospitals. A Whatsapp group was created with the nurses who completed the tests, and the training video prepared by the researcher was shared. In the second phase of the study, the same questions were applied again as the post-test. Jamovi (Version 1.0.4) software was used for statistical analysis. P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant in all analyses. Results: Of the 91 nurses who completed both the pre-test and the post-test, 83 (91.2%) were female and 8 (8.8%) were male. In all sections in the test category consisting of six different sections (Tooth Decay, Risk Factors in Dental Caries, Prevention of Dental Caries, Oral and Dental Injuries, Children with Special Care Needs, What to Do - How to do?), the success rate was significantly higher in the post-test ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: Research emphasizes that neonatal nurses, pediatric nurses and health professionals working in community health centers should be activated and empowered in order to prevent oral and dental health problems of children, and awareness should be increased with scientifically valid educational guidelines. The results of the present study support these views and emphasize the importance of education by showing significant improvement with the training provided to nurses who had insufficient knowledge and awareness about the subject.

Amaç: Bu anket çalışmasının amacı; stajlarda çocuk hasta bakan diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerinin, koruyucu diş hekimliği de içerisine alan çocuk diş hekimliğine yaklaşımını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Amaca yönelik olarak 20 sorudan oluşan bir anket formu hazırlandı ve anket, öğrencilere sınav ortamından uzak stressiz bir ortamda online olarak uygulandı. Veriler bilgisayar ortamında kodlandı ve analiz edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %55,9’u çocuk hasta bakmayı sevdiklerini belirtmişlerdir. %72,8’i çocuk hasta bakarken tedirgin olduğunu belirtirken, %16,9’u çocuk, %83,1’i yetişkin hastayı tedavi etmeyi tercih etmektedir. . Mezuniyet sonrasında meslek hayatlarında rutin olarak çocuk hasta tedavi etmeyi, %67,6’sı çok sık olmamakla birlikte düşünebilirim yanıtını verirken, %25’i evet, %7,4’ü ise mecbur kalmadıkça kesinlikle düşünmüyorum yanıtını vermiştir. Çocuk hasta bakarken kadınların daha tedirgin olmasına rağmen, çocuk hasta bakmayı erkelere göre daha çok tercih etmektedir (p0,05). Katılımcıların sınıflarına ve cinsiyete göre çocuk diş hekimliği hizmetinin en iyi verildiğini düşündükleri kurumlara ilişkin değerlendirmelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır (p>0,05). Her iki sınıf ve cinsiyet için en sık verilen yanıt diş hekimliği fakülteleri olmuştur. Sonuç: Ülkemizde çocuk ve genç nüfusunun fazla olmasına rağmen, geleceğin diş hekimi adayları, bu tedavilerde yeteri kadar istekli olmadıkları görülmüştür. Öğrenimleri süresince çocuk hastaları tedavi etmeye yönelik bilgi ve tecrübelerinin arttırılması, ileride daha çok sayıda çocuk hastayı tedavi edilebilmelerine yardımcı olacaktır.
