    Comparison of the Frequencies of Dentistry Examinations Among Chronic Patients at High-Risk for COVID-19 Before and During the Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (2022) Dedeoğlu, Numan; Altun, Oguzhan; Duman, Şuayip Burak; Eser, Gözde; Özen, Duygu Çelik
    Objective: This study aims to evaluate the frequency of dental examinations among chronic patients, a high-risk group for the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), before and during the pandemic. Material and Methods: A total of 27,757 patient records were evalu ated. Patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular (DHC) diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and chronic kidney failure and transplant patients, cancer patients, pregnant women and patients aged above 65 years were accepted as having risky chronic health conditions for COVID-19. However, those with at least 2 or 3 of DHC diseases were considered as a separate group. The frequencies of patient groups’ dental examinations were statistically compared for the period before and during the pandemic. In addition, the frequencies of patient groups dental examinations were also compared by gender for the general pop ulation and patients over 65 years of age. Results: The frequency of den tal examinations statistically significant decreased among both male and female patients, aged over 65 years and general population during the pandemic compared to before period in DHC patients (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant decrease in the frequency of dental ex aminations during the pandemic compared to the previous period in any disease group (except DHC) in the general male population and males over 65 years of age (p?0.05). Conclusion: Risky patients in DHC group were more careful in dental examinations during the pandemic. Men with risky chronic conditions may not have been feel anxious about COVID 19 when they referred to the dentist during the pandemic.

    FIVE-YEAR RADIOGRAPHIC FOLLOW-UP OF ASYMPTOMATIC IMPACTED THIRD MOLAR TEETH WITH COMPLETED APICAL ROOT DEVELOPMENT
    (2023) Dedeoğlu, Numan; Özen, Duygu Çelik
    Third molar teeth can stay impacted due to systemic factors, space deficiency, pathology or an anatomical obstacle. The positions, angles, follicle sizes, and impaction statuses of impacted third molars can change over time. The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in the position, inclination, angle, and follicular width of impacted third molars at the end of a 5-year follow-up on panoramic radiographs. Retrospective analyses of a total of 98 impacted third molar teeth were carried out on panoramic radiographs taken at 5-year intervals for 31 patients who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology at Faculty of Dentistry for various reasons between 2013 and 2021.The mean angle of the examined impacted third molars with the occlusal plane was 26.725±27.31° at the beginning of the 5 -year follow-up and 26.399±28.46° at the end of the follow-up. There was a 5° angular change (inclination) in 4(8.2%) impacted molars. In the examinations of the panoramic radiographs taken at 5-year intervals, no pathologic change around any impacted third molar or resorption in neighboring teeth was observed. There were inclination changes in 2(4%) of the impacted molars and position changes in 11(22.4%).The changes may be occur in the position, inclination, angle, and follicular width of asymptomatic impacted teeth in time. It is important that asymptomatic impacted teeth can be followed radio graphically to evaluate the effects of changes in position, inclination, angle and follicle width over time on the impacted tooth and surrounding tissues and to prevent complications that may occur after a possible impacted third molar extraction.
