Öğe Accidental Displacement of Dental Implants Into Both Maxillary Sinuses During Surgery(Allen Press Inc, 2015) Eltas, Abubekir; Dundar, Serkan; Eltas, Seydanur Dengizek; Altun, Oguzhan; Yolcu, Umit; Saybak, Arif[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Agresif ve kronik periodontitisli hastalarda ağız kokusunun karşılaştırılması(İnönü Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Yücel, Sinan ErişBu çalışma kronik periodontitisli (KP) ve generalize agresif periodontitisli (GAgP) bireylerde ağız kokusunun karşılaştırılmasını amaç edindi. Bu çalışmanın katılımcıları 25-40 yaş arasındaki 25 KP ve 25 GAgP’li hastadan oluştu. Her bir bireyin periodontal durumunu saptamak amacıyla plak indeksi (Pİ), sondalamada kanama (SK), klinik ataçman seviyesi (KAS) ve sondalama derinlikleri (SD) kullanıldı. Ağız kokusu ölçümleri taşınabilir bir sulfur monitor kullanılarak yapıldı (Halimeter Interscan, Chatsworth, CA, USA). KP’li grupta PI’nin GAgP gruptan daha fazla olduğu görülürken (p<0.05), SD, KAS, SD>4 mm bölgelerin yüzdesi ve KAS>4mm olan bölgelerin yüzdesi ise GAgP’li grupta daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Halimeter ölçüm değerleri de GAgP’li grupta KP’li gruptan daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Halimeter ölçüm değerleri ile SD, KAS, SD>4 mm bölgelerin yüzdesi ve KAS>4mm olan bölgelerin yüzdesi arasında pozitif ilişki bulundu (p<0.05). Bu çalışmada periodontal hastalığın şiddetinin ağız kokusunu etkileyebileceği, ayrıca GAgP’li hastalarda ağız kokusunun KP‘li bireylerden daha yüksek olduğu görüldü.Öğe ASSESSMENT OF ORAL HEALTH IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT DIABETES MELLITUS(Multimed Inc, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Tozoglu, Ummuhan; Keles, Mustafa; Canakci, VarolThe incidence of chronic renal failure continues to rise worldwide, and although the oral and dental changes in individuals with this condition have been examined, investigations with diabetic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are limited. We therefore examined salivary pH, dry mouth, taste change, and mucosal ulceration in diabetic and nondiabetic uremic patients receiving PD. A total of 49 patients undergoing PD therapy were allocated to either the diabetic or the nondiabetic group. Salivary pH, dry mouth, taste change, and mucosal ulceration were determined for both groups. Salivary flow rate and pH were both lower in the diabetic group. Buffer capacity, dry mouth, taste change, and mucosal ulceration were all increased in that group. These findings were associated with level of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c. Our observations indicate that, compared with nondiabetic PD patients, patients with diabetes exhibit more severe oral uremic symptoms, including dry mouth, burning mouth syndrome, taste change, and mucosal ulcerations. The oral health in these patients should be followed.Öğe Association of Oral Health-related Quality of Life with Periodontal Status and Treatment Needs(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, 2016) Eltas, Abubekir; Uslu, Mustafa Ozay; Eltas, Seydanur DengizekPurpose: To evaluate the association of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) with periodontal parameters and treatment needs in a Turkish population and compare the OHRQoL of patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. Materials and Methods: The present study had a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 404 patients with periodontitis (n = 130), gingivitis (n = 141) or periodontal health (n = 133). Patients' sociodemographic information as well as periodontal parameters such as plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and the community periodontal index of treatment needs were recorded. The impact of oral health on the patients' quality of life was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Results: The OHIP-14 scores in subjects with gingivitis and periodontitis were higher than in periodontally healthy individuals (p < 0.05). Although the total OHIP-14 scores in subjects with periodontitis were higher than those for the subjects with gingivitis, no statistically significant difference existed between the gingivitis and periodontitis groups (p > 0.05). When characterised according to periodontal treatment needs (TN), the total and individual domain OHIP-14 scores were highest in subjects at the TN3 level. The total OHIP-14 scores of subjects correlated with periodontal status, BOP, PD >= 4 mm (% of sites), CAL >= 4 mm (% of sites) and TN. Conclusions: Our results disclosed that the adverse effects on OHRQoL perceived by patients were similar in subjects with gingivitis and periodontitis. When planning treatment, it should be kept in mind that the pain and physical discomfort domains of the individual subscales are of primary importance to the patients. However, longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the relationship between periodontal status and OHRQoL.Öğe Cerrahi olmayan periodontal tedavide Nd:YAG lazer kullanımı(İnönü Üniversitesi, Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, Periodontoloji Anabilim Dalı, Malatya, Türkiye, 2013) Eltas, Abubekir; Orbak, RecepÖz: Periodontal tedavinin amacı hastalığın ilerlemesini dur- durmak için bakterilerin uzaklaştırılmasıdır. Bu yüzden, subgingival plağın temizlenmesi iltihabi periodontal has- talıkların tedavisinde esas amaç olmalıdır. Bununla birlikte periodontal ceplerdeki ve kök yüzeyindeki bakterilerin ve toksinlerinin geleneksel mekanik tedavilerle tamamen kal- dırılabileceği kesin değildir. Lazer ışınları antibakteriyel ve biyostimülatif etkileri ile cerrahi olmayan periodontal te- davide umut verici yeni teknolojilerden birisidir. Bu derle- menin amacı, cerrahi olmayan periodontal tedavide Nd: YAG lazer uygulamaları ile ilişkili temel araştırmaların ve klinik çalışmaların sonuçlarının özetlenmesidir.Öğe Clinical Effects of Nd:YAG Laser Applications During Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment in Smoking and Nonsmoking Patients with Chronic Periodontitis(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Orbak, RecepObjective: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of nonsurgical periodontal treatment with and without Nd:YAG laser (NDL) applications in smoking and nonsmoking patients with moderate chronic periodontitis (CP). Materials and methods: The study population consisted of 52 patients with generalized moderate CP. The study compared the clinical effects of scaling and root planing (SRP) and SRP plus NDL in periodontal pockets measuring between 4 and 6 mm of smoking and nonsmoking patients with CP. The study patients were divided into four groups: Group 1: test teeth in smoker patients (ST; n = 52 teeth); Group 2: placebo teeth in smoker patients (SP; n = 52 teeth); Group 3: test teeth in nonsmoker patients (NST; n = 52 teeth); and Group 4: placebo teeth in nonsmoker patients (NSP; n = 52 teeth). Clinical examinations were performed immediately before SRP (the baseline) as well as 1 month (R1) and 6 months (R2) after treatment. Results: The recovery for pocket depth (PD), gingival index (GI), and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume in the NST group was higher than in both smoker groups (p < 0.05). Additionally, the changes for each of these parameters in the NSP group were higher than for the SP group (p < 0.05) at R1 and R2. SRP plus NDL application versus SRP application alone did not lead to significant differences in any clinical parameters or in GCF volume between the two groups of patients who smoked (p > 0.05), whereas statistically significant differences existed for PD between nonsmoker groups at R1 and R2 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results supported the idea that NDL applications provide additional benefits in the periodontal treatment of smokers.Öğe Dental implant başarısının ve hasta profilinin değerlendirilmesi: Retrospektif bir çalışma(Atatürk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Dergisi, 2013) Eltas, Abubekir; Dündar, Serkan; Uzun, İsmail Hakkı; Arslan, Meral MalkoçÖz: Amaç: Bu çalışma 2010-2011 yıllarında yapılmış Straumann ve Xive dental implantların implant başa- rısızlığını etkileyen faktörlere göre değerlendirilmesini ve implant yaptıran hastaların profilinin belirlenmesini amaçladı. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2010-2011 yıllarında 79 hastaya dental implant tedavisi için risk oluşturacak para- metreler değerlendirilerek (sistemik hastalık, sigara, implantın boyutları, diş kayıp nedeni, implantın yerleştirildiği çene ve bölge, ilave cerrahi işlemler) 193 implant yerleştirildi. Klinik ve radyografik değerlendir- meler hastaların kontrol seanslarında kaydedildi. İmplant başarısı ağızda kalım oranı olarak değerlen- dirildi. İmplantın yerleştirilmesi ve son kontrol arası süre veya implantın kaybedildiği zaman aralığı imp- lantın ağızda kalım süresi olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada toplam 79 hastaya yapılan 193 implant değerlendirildi. Hastaların 6’sı tam dişsiz iken, 73’ü kısmi dişsizliğe sahipti. Kısmi dişsiz hasta- ların 20’sinde tek diş eksikliği, 19’unda dişli sonlanan birden fazla diş eksikliği görüldü. 34 hasta ise dişsiz sonlanan vakalardı. Hasta öykülerinde 50 hastada diş kayıplarının çürük ve endodontik problem nedeniyle, 28 hastada ise periodontal hastalıklar sonucu diş ka- yıplarının meydana geldiği tespit edildi. Bu çalışmada implant kayıp oranı %2.6’dır. Kaybedilen implantların 4’ü periimplantitis nedeniyle yüklemeden önce kaybe- dilirken, 1’i yüklemeden sonra implant boyun kırığı nedeniyle kaybedildi. Sonuç: İmplantların başarı oranı %97,4’dür. Sigara ve periodontal hastalık implant başarısını etkileyen önemli faktörlerdendir. Başlık (İngilizce): Assesement of dental implant success and patient profile: A retrospective study Öz (İngilizce): Objective: This study made in 2010-2011 years and Xive Straumann dental implants and implant failure was evaluated on the factors influencing the determination of the profile of patients who have sought to implant. Material and Methods: At 2010-2011 years 79 patients evaluated pose risks of dental implant treatment in the parameters (systemic disease, smoking, implant dimensions, due to loss of teeth, chin implant is placed and thearea, additional surgical procedures), 193 implants were placed. Patients’s clinical and radiographic evaluations were recorded in control sessions. The success rate of implant survival was evaluated as the mouth. Placement date of the implant and the implant’s lost date or time interval between the last control period was considered to be survival of the implant in the mouth. Results: In this study, a total of 193 implants were evaluated in 79 patients. 6 patients fully edentulous, 73 had partial edentulism. 20 patients with partial edentulous had single tooth loss and 19 patients had was more than one tooth loss . In 34 patients had edentulous dentition finite. 50 patients had lost the tooth due to tooth caries and endodontic problems, 28 patients had lost the tooth as a result of periodontal disease occurred in were identified. İn this study the implant loss rate is 2.6%. 4 implants had lost because of the periimplantitis before loading, and 1 had lost after installing. Conclusion: In this study the success rate of implants is 97.4%. Smoking and periodontal disease are important factors affecting the success of the implant.Öğe Dietary arginine silicate inositol complex inhibits periodontal tissue loss in rats with ligature-induced periodontitis(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2016) Dundar, Serkan; Eltas, Abubekir; Hakki, Ema S.; Malkoc, Siddik; Uslu, M. Ozay; Tuzcu, Mehmet; Komorowski, JamesThe purpose of this study was to induce experimental periodontitis in rats previously fed diets containing arginine silicate inositol (ASI) complex and examine the biochemical, immunological, and radiological effects. Fifty two 8-week-old female Sprague Dawley rats were equally divided into four groups. The control group included those fed a standard rat diet with no operation performed during the experiment. The periodontitis, ASI I, and ASI II groups were subjected to experimental periodontitis induction for 11 days after being fed a standard rat diet alone, a diet containing 1.81 g/kg ASI complex, or a diet containing 3.62 g/kg ASI complex, respectively, for 8 weeks. Throughout the 11-day duration of periodontitis induction, all rats were fed standard feed. The rats were euthanized on the eleventh day, and their tissue and blood samples were collected. In the periodontitis group, elevated tissue destruction parameters and reduced tissue formation parameters were found, as compared to the ASI groups. Levels of enzymes, cytokines, and mediators associated with periodontal tissue destruction were lower in rats fed a diet containing ASI complex after experimental periodontitis. These results indicate that ASI complex could be an alternative agent for host modulation.Öğe Dişeti enflamasyonun tedavisinde gaz ozonun klinik etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi(İnönü Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Yavuzer, DuyguBu çalışmanın amacı diş yüzeyi temizliğine (DYT) ilaveten uygulanan ozon tedavisinin gingivitisli hastalardaki klinik etkilerini sadece DYT yapılan hastalarla karşılaştırmaktı. Kontrol grubundaki hastalara (n=15) sadece DYT yapılırken, çalışma grubundaki hastalara (n=15) DYT’ne ilaveten ozon uygulaması yapıldı. Araştırma kapsamına alınan hastaların tedaviden önce (TÖ) ve tedaviden 4 hafta (TS) sonra olmak üzere Pİ, Gİ, SDK, SCD ve KAS ölçümleri yapıldı ve kaydedildi. Tedavi sonrasındaki ölçümlerde PI, SCD ve KAS’deki değişimlerde gruplar arasında farklılık yoktu (p>0.05). GI ve SDK’nın ise çalışma grubunda kontrol grubundan daha fazla azaldığı görüldü (p<0.05). Bu çalışmanın sonucunda DYT+ozon gazı uygulamasının sadece DYT’ne oranla dişeti enflamasyonunun iyileşmesinde daha etkili olduğu görüldü.Öğe Effect of 1,064-nm Nd:YAG laser therapy on GCF IL-1? and MMP-8 levels in patients with chronic periodontitis(Springer London Ltd, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Orbak, RecepThe aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of a combined periodontal treatment of scaling and root planing (SRP) and Nd:YAG laser (NDL) in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients. This was accomplished by determining the periodontal indices and the interleukin-1beta (IL-1 beta) and matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) levels of the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). This study was performed according to a random split-mouth-design, controlled clinical trial for sulcular debridement on 40 teeth from 20 patients with generalized moderate chronic periodontitis. The periodontal healing outcomes were compared after periodontal treatment with either SRP + NDL at 1 W (test side) or SRP (control side). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded, and samples of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were taken at baseline and post-therapy (3 and 9 months after treatment). The GCF samples were analyzed for IL-1 beta and MMP-8. There was postoperative improvement of all clinical parameters in both groups, but test side GI, PPD, and CAL recovery was higher than that of the control side (p < 0.05). Although levels of IL-1 beta and MMP-8 in GCF after treatment were lower in the test side than the control side, there was not a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). In the long term, we found that SRP + NDL treatment of periodontal pockets was more effective than SRP alone in reducing PPD, CAL, GI, and GCF values.Öğe The effect of periodontal treatment in improving erectile dysfunction: a randomized controlled trial(Wiley, 2013) Eltas, Abubekir; Oguz, Fatih; Uslu, Mustafa Ozay; Akdemir, EnderObjective The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF) score following periodontal treatment in patients who had severe or moderate erectile dysfunction (ED) and chronic periodontitis (CP). Materials and methods The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. The study population consisted of 120 patients with severe or moderate ED and CP. The treatment group (n = 60) comprised patients who received periodontal treatment, whereas the control group (n = 60) comprised patients who did not receive periodontal treatment. The clinical assessments were recorded at baseline, and at 1 month (R1) and 3 months (R2) after intervention for both groups. The periodontal examination involved assessment of the plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth and clinical attachment level. The IIEF questionnaire was used to assess the severity of ED. Results In the treatment group, the improvement in all clinical periodontal parameters was greater than that in the control group, at both R1 and R2 (p < 0.05). The increase in the IIEF scores of the treatment group at R2 was higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05), whereas the IIEF scores were similar for both groups at R1 (p > 0.05). Conclusion The findings of the study suggest that periodontal treatment can provide additional benefits in the improvement of ED. However, further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of interaction between these diseases.Öğe Effects of diode laser application on inflammation and mpo in periodontal tissues in a rat model(Univ Sao Paulo Fac Odontologia Bauru, 2018) Uslu, Mustafa Ozay; Eltas, Abubekir; Marakoglu, Ismail; Dundar, Serkan; Sahin, Kazim; Ozercan, Ibrahim HanifiObjective: In this study, we aimed to histologically and immunologically evaluate the effect of diode laser treatment when applied adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) in an experimental periodontitis model. Materials and methods: We used Wistar-Albino rats (n=60) with average weight of 230 g. Experimental periodontitis was induced by ligature at the right and left first mandibular molar teeth in all rats. After 11 days, the ligature was removed and rats were divided into two groups. The control group (n=30) received only SRP treatment, while the laser group (n=30) received a diode laser (GaAlAs, 810 nm, 1 W, 10 J, 20 s) treatment adjunctive to SRP. Ten rats in each group were sacrificed after 7, 15, and 30 days. Histopathological examination was performed in the left mandible of rats. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) was evaluated by western blot in the gingival specimens from the right mandible. Results: MPO levels in the laser group were statistically significantly lower compared with the control group (p <= 0.05). There was no statistically significance at any time between MPO levels in the control group (p>0.05). MPO levels in the laser group at the 7th day were statistically significantly higher compared to the 15th (p <= 0.05) and the 30th day (p <= 0.05). Inflammatory cell infiltration decreased over time in both groups and was statistically significantly lower in the laser group than in the control group at all times (p <= 0.01). Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, we suggest that diode laser application is an adjunctive treatment because it reduced inflammation and MPO when applied in addition to SRP. On the other hand, more studies are needed for the assessment of the effects of diode laser application to periodontal tissues.Öğe Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy as an Adjunct to Standard Therapy in Acute Pericoronitis, and its Impact on Oral Health-Related Quality of Life(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2012) Sezer, Ufuk; Eltas, Abubekir; Ustun, Kemal; Senyurt, Suleyman Ziya; Erciyas, Kamile; Aras, Mutan HamdiObjective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjunct to standard therapy in acute pericoronitis. Methods: Eighty acute pericoronitis patients were randomly assigned to one of four LLLT groups: (neodymium: yttrium-aluminum garnet [Nd:YAG] 1064-nm: n = 20, 8 J/cm(2), 0.25W, 10 Hz, 10 sec; 808-nm diode: n = 20, 8 J/cm(2), 0.25W, continuous mode, 10 sec; 660-nm diode: n = 20, 8 J/cm(2), 0.04 W, continuous mode, 60 sec; or a placebo laser control group: n = 20). After standard treatment, LLLT or a placebo laser were applied to the treatment area at a distance of 1 cm from the buccal site. Interincisal opening, pain perception, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) were evaluated at baseline, 24 h, and 7 days after laser application. The data were analyzed by the one-way ANOVA test. Results: We found that the trismus and the OHRQoL in the Nd: YAG and the 808-nm diode groups were significantly improved when compared with the 660-nm diode and control groups at 24 h (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were detected on day 7 among the groups with regard to any of the parameters evaluated. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that both the 1064-nm Nd: YAG and the 808-nm diode lasers were effective in improving trismus and OHRQoL in acute pericoronitis. Taking into account the limitations of this study, we conclude that the 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser has biostimulatory effects and improves OHRQoL, making it suitable for LLLT.Öğe Epilepsi tedavisinde uzun dönem fenitoin kullanımının alveolar kemik kaybı üzerine etkisi(Atatürk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Dergisi, 2012) Eltas, Abubekir; Uslu, Mustafa Özay; Kamışlı, ÖzdenYıl: 2012Cilt: 22Sayı: 3ISSN: 1300-9044Sayfa Aralığı: 235 - 241 Metin Dili: Türkçe Öz: Amaç: Epilepsi tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan eski nesil antiepileptik ilaçlardan birisi olan fenitoinin diş eti büyümesi ve kemik metabolizmasında değişiklikler gibi bir takım yan etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı epilepsi hastalarında uzun dönem fenitoin kullanımı ve alveolar kemik kaybı arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma fenitoin (PHT) kullanan epileptik (n=65) ve PHT kullanmayan epileptik olmayan (kontrol grubu, n=65) toplam 130 birey üzerinde yapıldı. Periodontal değerlendirme için plak indeksi (Pİ), sondlama derinliği (SD), sondlamada kanama (SK) ve klinik ataçman düzeyi (KAD) ölçüldü. Kemik miktarını değerlendirmek için ise panoramik ve periapikal radyografiler kullanıldı. Bulgular: PHT kullanan grup ile kontrol grubu arasında Pİ, SK, SD değerleri benzer bulundu (p>0.05). Ayrıca iki grup arasında ortalama KAD’lerinin, KAD>4 mm bölgelerin yüzdesinin, kemik kaybı yüzdelerinin ve DMFT skorlarının da istatistiksel olarak farklı olmadığı görüldü (p>0.05). Kemik kayıplarının periodontal parametrelerle ilişkili olduğu görülürken (p<0.001), PHT kullanımı ve kemik kaybı arasında ilişki bulunmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın bulguları PHT kullanımının alveolar kemik yıkımını artırabileceğini desteklememektedir. Başlık (İngilizce): The effect on alveolar bone loss of long-term phenytoin use in the treatment of epilepsy Öz (İngilizce): Aim: Phenytoin which is one of the older generation antiepileptic drugs frequently used to treat epilepsy, has some side effects such as gingival hyperplasia and bone metabolism alterations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between alveolar bone loss and long term use of phenytoin in patients with epilepsy. Material and Methods: This study was perfomed on a total of 130 individuals using phenytoin (epileptic, n=65) and not using phenytoin (non- epileptic, control group, n=65). Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL) was measured for assessment of periodontal evaluation. Panoramic and periapical radiography were used to evaluate the amount of bone. Results: The mean of PI, PD and BOP found similar between the group using phenytoin and control group (p>0.05). Additionally, the mean of CAL, DMFT scores and percentage of sites with CAL>4mm and the percentage of bone loss were similar for both groups (p>0.05). While bone loss is associated with periodontal parameters, there was no relationship between using PHT and bone loss. Conclusion: Results of this present study not to support that the use of phenytoin may be increase the destruction of alveolar bone.Öğe Evaluation of effects on periodontal health, halitosis and salivary flow of the occlusal splint use(2012) Güngör, Hasan; Eltas, Abubekir; Tozoğlu, ÜmmühanObjectives: Occlusal splints (OS) are often used for the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs),bruxism, and occlusal disturbance, although the splint s effect on oral tissue has not been investigated enough. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of OS on halitosis, periodontal status and salivary flow rate (SFR)in patients with bruxism.Material and Methods: A total of 43 patients with bruxism participated in this study. Plaque index (PI),bleeding on probing (BoP), probing pocket depth (PPD), SFR and halitosis measurement were performedimmediately before treatment and 3 months following the completion of the baseline treatment protocol.Results: The present study saw that the use of OS for three months did not affected the periodontal status. Therewas significant increase in the level of halitosis and also the level of SFR after the use of OS (p <0.001).Statistically significance relationship between halitosis and SFR with the use of OS was found (p <0.05), whilethere was not a correlation between SFR and halitosis (p >0.05).Conclusions: Although occlusal splints have therapeutic benefits, comprehensive clinical examinations areneeded on this issue.Öğe Evaluation of oral health-related quality-of-life in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis(Informa Healthcare, 2013) Eltas, Abubekir; Uslu, Mustafa OzayObjective. This study aimed to assess the association between the quality-of-life and clinical parameters in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis. Materials and methods. The examination included assessing the number of missing teeth; the number of mobile teeth; and periodontal measures such as bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (REC) and plaque index (PI). Patients were asked to rate the impact of their oral health on 16 key areas of oral health-related quality-of-life (OHQoL-UK (c)). Results. In this study, most of the subjects' complaints were missing teeth (85%) and REC (75%), following by bleeding gums (62%), bad breath odor (58%), pain/sensitivity (53%) and mobility (53%). On the other hand all clinical parameters affected the OHQoL-UK (c) (p < 0.05) and the most affected parameters of QoL were missing teeth, BoP, mobility and REC (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The findings of the current study showed that aggresive periodontitis has a deep impact on patients' oral health-related quality-of-life. When setting a treatment plan in aggressive periodontitis patients, clinicians must evaluate the patient perceptions and the effect of treatment options on a patient's entire life.Öğe Familial hereditary gingival fibromatosis: a rare case report(İnönü Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi, 2013) Dündar, Serkan; Uslu, Mustafa Özay; Toy, Vesile Elif; Eltas, AbubekirHereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare genetic condition characterized by varying degrees of growth attached gingiva. It usually develops as an isolated disorder but can be one feature of a multi systemic syndrome. In severe cases resective surgery of the fibromatosis excess tissue is the treatment available however, recurrence is a common feature. In this case a 28-year-old healty male is reported who presented a familial hereditary gingival fibromatosis, characterized with severe gingival overgrowth, involving the maxillary and mandibular arches.Öğe Is There a Relationship Between Chronic Periodontitis and Erectile Dysfunction?(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013) Oguz, Fatih; Eltas, Abubekir; Beytur, Ali; Akdemir, Ender; Uslu, Mustafa Ozay; Gunes, AliIntroduction. Chronic periodontitis (CP) is characterized with inflammation of the gingival tissues, which causes endothelial dysfunction in different organs. Aim. In this study, we investigated the association of CP with the erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods. The study group included 80 male patients with ED and 82 male patients without ED (control), aged between 30 and 40 years. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire was used to assess male sexual function, particularly the presence or absence of ED. Main Outcome Measures. The patients in the study and control groups were statistically compared according to their plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL). Results. In the non-ED and the ED groups, the mean age was 35.7 +/- 4.8 and 34.9 +/- 4.9 years, respectively. Patients' characteristics including body mass index, household income, and education status were similar in both groups (0.05). Nineteen patients (23%) had severe CP in the non-ED group; 42 patients (53%) had severe CP in the ED group. Logistic regression analysis showed a significantly high association between ED and the severity of CP (odds ratio: 3.29, 95% confidence interval: 1.369.55, P<0.01). The mean values of PI, BoP, and the percentages of sites with PD >4mm and sites with CAL >4mm were significantly higher in the ED group than in the control group (P<0.05). The mean values of PD and CAL were not significantly different in the two groups (0.05). The decayed, missing, filled teeth scores were also significantly higher in the ED group than in the non-ED group (P<0.05). Conclusion. Our results have suggested that CP had a high association with ED in young adults at 3040 years. We think that it will be of benefit to consider periodontal disease as a causative clinical condition of ED in such patients. Ouz F, Eltas A, Beytur A, and Akdemir E.

Bu çalışmaya 50 (25 erkek /25 kadın) generalize KP’li hasta dahil edildi. Katılımcılar 2 gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubundaki hastalara (n=25) sadece DYT&KYD (el aletleri ve ultrasonik aletler) yapılırken, çalışma grubundaki hastalara (n=25) DYT&KYD’ne ilaveten 3. ve 5. günlerde ozon gazı uygulaması yapıldı. Periodontal durum plak indeksi (Pİ), sondalamada kanama (SK), klinik ataşman seviyesi (KAS) ve sondalama derinlikleri (SD) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Halitosis ölçümleri için taşınabilir bir sulfur monitor kullanıldı. Tedavi sonrası her iki grupta da tüm klinik periodontal parameteler de iyileşmeler ve halimeter skorlarında azalma tespit edildi (p<0.05). Tedavi sonrası gruplar arasında klinik periodontal parametrelerde ve halimeter skorlarında fark olmadığı görüldü (p>0.05). Cerrahi olmayan periodontal tedaviye ilaveten ozon gazı uygulamasının klinik periodontal iyileşmeyi daha fazla artırmadığı ve halimeter skorlarını etkilemediği görüldü.Öğe Malatya bölgesinde dişeti çekilmesinin yaygınlığının, şiddetinin ve etkenlerinin araştırılması(İnönü Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi, 2013) Toy, Vesile Elif; Eltas, AbubekirBu çalışma Malatya bölgesinde yaşayan 20-65 yaş arasındaki bireylerde dişeti çekilmesi (DÇ)’ninnedenlerini, şiddetini ve yaygınlığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladı. Bu kesitsel çalışma 2012 Mayıs ve Temmuz ayları arasında İnönü Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran 20 - 65 yaş arasındaki 309 erkek ve 378 kadından oluşan toplam 687 hastada gerçekleştirildi. Katılımcıların periodontal durumu plak indeksi (Pİ), sondalamada kanama (SK), sondalama derinliği (SD) ve klinik ataçman seviyesi (KAS) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Dişeti çekilmeleri Miller sınıflamasına göre değerlendirildi. Elde edilen verilerin analizi Ki-kare test ile gerçekleştirildi. Bu çalışmaya dahil edilen bireylerin %78’inde dişeti çekilmesi olduğu görüldü. Yaş artışı özellikle 40 yaşın üzerindeki bireylerde dişeti çekilmesi görülen diş sayısında artışa sebep oldu. Yaş artışı ile birlikte Sınıf III ve IV çekilmelerde artış görüldü. 20-29 yaş arası bireylerde görülen vakaların % 40.8’ini Sınıf III ve IV oluştururken, 30 – 39 yaş arasında %62.3’ünü, 40-49 arasında %76.3’ünü, 50 yaş üzerindeki bireylerde ise %71.9’unu oluşturduğu görüldü. En çok DÇ görülen bölgenin alt keser dişler olduğu görüldü. DÇ için birincil nedensel faktörün periodontal hastalıklar ve yetersiz ağız bakımı olduğu görüldü. DÇ ağız bakım uygulamaları ve ağız sağlığı bilincinin arttırılmasıyla önlenebilir
