    Nasopharynx evaluation in children of unilateral cleft palate patients and normal with cone beam computed tomography
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Temiz, Mustafa; Duman, Suayip Burak; Abdelkarim, Ahmed Z.; Bayrakdar, Ibrahim Sevki; Syed, Ali Z.; Eser, Gozde; Celik Ozen, Duygu
    Objective:This study aimed to examine the morphological characteristics of the nasopharynx in unilateral Cleft lip/palate (CL/P) children and non-cleft children using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods:A retrospective study consisted of 54 patients, of which 27 patients were unilateral CL/P, remaining 27 patients have no CL/P. Eustachian tubes orifice (ET), Rosenmuller fossa (RF) depth, presence of pharyngeal bursa (PB), the distance of posterior nasal spine (PNS)-pharynx posterior wall were quantitatively evaluated. Results:The main effect of the CL/P groups was found to be effective on RF depth-right (p < 0.001) and RF depth-left (p < 0.001). The interaction effect of gender and CL/P groups was not influential on measurements. The cleft-side main effect was found to be effective on RF depth-left (p < 0.001) and RF depth-right (p = 0002). There was no statistically significant relationship between CL/P groups and the presence of bursa pharyngea. Conclusions:Because it is the most common site of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the anatomy of the nasopharynx should be well known in the early diagnosis of NPC.

    Radiographic assessment of the relationship between alveolar bone loss and overhanging margins of posterior dental restorations in diabetic patients: a retrospective study
    (Springer, 2026) Sarici, Tuba; Celik Ozen, Duygu
    Objective As no previous study has focused on the effect of overhanging restorations on alveolar bone loss in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals, this study aimed to compare alveolar bone loss between these groups using panoramic radiographs. Methods A total of 212 patients (106 diabetic, 106 non-diabetic) who met the inclusion criteria were retrospectively selected from panoramic radiographs taken between January 2023 and July 2025 at Inonu University Faculty of Dentistry. Marginal bone loss adjacent to overhanging restorations was measured as the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the alveolar crest, with contralateral intact or solely occlusally restored teeth serving as controls. All measurements were performed by a restorative dentistry specialist, and intra-observer reliability was confirmed (Cohen's Kappa > 0.80). Data were analyzed using appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical tests, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results Overhanging restorations were more frequently observed in molars compared with premolars and on distal surfaces compared with mesial surfaces. No significant difference in alveolar bone loss was found between amalgam and composite restorations. The levels of alveolar bone loss were significantly higher in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic individuals; the median CEJ-crest distances on the sides with overhanging restorations were 2.71 mm and 2.07 mm, respectively (p < 0.001), while on the contralateral control surfaces, they were 1.76 mm and 1.44 mm, respectively (p = 0.003). Conclusion Overhanging restorations are associated with increased alveolar bone loss, and this effect was significantly greater in diabetic patients. These findings highlight the importance of detecting and correcting overhanging restorations, particularly in patients with systemic risk factors such as diabetes, to prevent periodontal destruction.
