Evaluation of mental foramen location in the 10-70 years age range using cone-beam computed tomography S Guven, E Gungor, OS Aglarci, M Unal, MS Dogan Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2017 Introduction: Mental foramen (MF) locations were determined according to gender and age in terms of the vertical distance from the surrounding anatomical structures and the vertical and horizontal size of the MF. Materials and Methods: One hundred-seven male and 103 female patients in the age group between 10 and 70 years were included in our retrospective study and were examined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The right and the left MF locations were determined from panoramic and cross-sectional images. On the cross-sectional CBCT images, the distance of the MF upper limit from the alveolar crest edge, the distance of the MF lower limit from the lower edge of the mandible, and vertical size of the MF were measured. Results: MF location differed in males and females (P < 0.001); it was generally located at the first and second premolar in females, and at the level of the second premolar in males. However, the MF location was not different on the right and left sides (P = 0.436). The distance of the MF from the surrounding anatomic structures were found to be lower in females than in males in all measurements (P < 0.001). The horizontal size of the MF was found to be less on the left side (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Knowing both the position and the distance of the MF from the surrounding anatomical structures is not only useful information for surgery, but will also help avoid complications such as paresthesia.

Root canal morphology analysis of maxillary permanent first and second molars in a southeastern Turkish population using cone-beam computed tomography Mustafa Altunsoy, Evren Ok, Bilge Gulsum Nur, Osman Sami Aglarci, Enes Gungor, Mehmet Colak Journal of Dental Sciences, 2015 The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first and second molars in a Turkish subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images of 417 women and 410 men aged 14–70 years were examined. A total of 1158 maxillary permanent first molars and 1305 maxillary permanent second molars were analyzed. The number of root canals and canal configurations were investigated and classified according to Vertucci's classification. The data were analyzed using Pearson's Chi-square test. In both first and second maxillary molars, the presence of three roots was the most common occurrence. The prevalence of additional canals (type II, III, or greater) in mesiobuccal roots of maxillary first and second molars was approximately 62% and 37.5%, respectively. Type I canal configuration was the most prevalent in the distobuccal (99.6%) and palatal (99.8%) roots of maxillary first molars, and in the distobuccal (99.7%) and palatal (99.2%) roots of maxillary second molars. The incidence of the number of root canals and the configurations of maxillary first and second molars did not statistically differ with sex (P > 0.05). The high prevalence of additional canals in the mesiobuccal roots of maxillary first and second molars is noteworthy. CBCT is an effective method to study the external and internal morphology of dental tissues.
Fabricating Complete Dentures with CAD/CAM and RP Technologies Mehmet Selim Bilgin, Ali Erdem, Osman Sami Aglarci, Erhan Dilber Journal of Prosthodontics, 2015 Two techological approaches for fabricating dentures; computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and rapid prototyping (RP), are combined with the conventional techniques of impression and jaw relation recording to determine their feasibility and applicability. Maxillary and mandibular edentulous jaw models were produced using silicone molds. After obtaining a gypsum working model, acrylic bases were crafted, and occlusal rims for each model were fabricated with previously determined standard vertical and centric relationships. The maxillary and mandibular relationships were recorded with guides. The occlusal rims were then scanned with a digital scanner. The alignment of the maxillary and mandibular teeth was verified. The teeth in each arch were fabricated in one piece, or set, either by CAM or RP. Conventional waxing and flasking was then performed for both methods. These techniques obviate a practitioner's need for technicians during design and provide the patient with an opportunity to participate in esthetic design with the dentist. In addition, CAD/CAM and RP reduce chair time; however, the materials and techniques need further improvements. Both CAD/CAM and RP techniques seem promising for reducing chair time and allowing the patient to participate in esthetics design. Furthermore, the one-set aligned artificial tooth design may increase the acrylic's durability.
Evaluation of the radiopacities of bulk-fill restoratives using two digital radiography systems E Yasa, B Yasa, OS Aglarci, ET Ertas Operative Dentistry, 2015 SUMMARY This study investigated the radiopacity values of bulk-fill restoratives by using two digital radiography systems. Nine bulk-fill restoratives and a conventional composite were used in the study. Six disc-shaped specimens were prepared from each of these materials, three each at thicknesses of 1 mm and 2 mm, and tooth slices with these same thicknesses were obtained. As a control, an aluminum step wedge varying in thickness from 0.5 to 10 mm in was used. Three specimens of each of the materials, together with the tooth slice and the aluminum step wedge, were placed over a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and a storage photostimulable phosphor (PPS) plate system and exposed using a dental x-ray unit. The images were analyzed using a software program to measure the mean gray values (MGVs). Five measurements were obtained from each of the restorative materials, the enamel, the dentin, and the stepwedge. The MGVs were converted to the equivalent aluminum thicknesses. Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significance of the differences among the groups. A Tukey test was applied for pairwise comparisons (p&lt;0.05). All composite-based restoratives were found to have greater radiopacities than enamel or dentin. Equia Fil had the lowest radiopacity value. Radiopacity increased as the thicknesses of the restorative material increased. The CMOS system showed significantly higher radiopacity values than the PSP system. In conclusion, all investigated bulk-fill restoratives passed the International Organization for Standardization and American National Standard Institute/American Dental Association requirements for radiopacity values when evaluated with the two digital radiography systems.
Diagnosis, PET/CT imaging, and treatment of extranodal non-hodgkin lymphoma in keratinized gingiva: A case report Cüneyt A. Aral, Osman S. Ağlarcı, Hasan H. Yılmaz, Funda Taşlı, Serap Karaarslan, Filiz Hatipoğlu, Mustafa S. Sanal Journal of Oral Science, 2015 A 58-year-old patient who smoked and had uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred to our clinic. The patient had a suspicious asymptomatic lesion that was diagnosed as B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Immunohistochemistry revealed intense and diffuse expression of CD20, CD10, BCL-6, and Ki-67. A positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan showed focal pathological uptake of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose only in the subcutaneous tissue anterior to the left maxillary sinus. After lesion excision and five courses of chemotherapy, PET/CT scans demonstrated complete resolution of the lesion. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and periodontal disease might be predisposing factors for oral NHL.
The economic impact of early tooth loss in turkish children and adolescents M. Bilgin, A. Erdem, Erhan Dilber, O. S. Ağlarci, Ebru Nur Baytaroğlu Cumhuriyet Dental Journal, 2015 Objectives: We sought to measure the financial burden on the Turkish government from early tooth loss and tooth impaction requiring prosthetics in 6–22-year-olds. Material and Methods: We evaluated 28784 teeth from 1028 patients (379 males and 649 females) between the ages of 6 and 22 and assessed the indications for prosthodontic treatment. As the study age range is not reliable for the presence of third molars, third molars were ignored. We divided the patients into pediatric and young adult groups. The homogeneity of data was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Differences between the genders and groups were evaluated with Pearson’s Chi-squared test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Results: Missing permanent teeth predominated in the young adult group (1.61) %, while impacted permanent teeth predominated in the pediatric group (0.81 %). Applying these rates to the population as a whole, 1.8 million pediatric and 6.2 million young adult cases of missing teeth may be extant in Turkey. Conclusion: Making dental hygiene information available to all socioeconomic groups would require an initial outlay of expenses, but savings would be realized both from preventing lost work and school time and from avoiding the need for prosthetic work in millions of Turkish citizens.
