Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on diabetes-related oral complications.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which lead to end-organ damage. While the diagnosis and treatment of its complications have been extensively studied, the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) on diabetes-related oral complications remains unexplored.

Aim: This prospective clinical study aims to investigate the effect of HBO on diabetes-related oral complications.

Barodontalgia during hyperbaric oxygen therapy of an 8-year-old male: A case report.

Barodontalgia, barometric pressure-induced dental pain, may occur during hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy due to pressure changes. This case report presents an 8-year-old male patient with barodontalgia. The patient declared a severe toothache during HBO therapy.

Evaluation of maxillary sinus volumes and pathologies in children with and without cleft lip and palate using cone beam computed tomography.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the maxillary sinus (MS) volume and pathologies, nasal septum (NS) deviation, and MS septa formation in children with and without cleft lip and palate (CLP); also to investigate the possible causes of MS pathologies.

Materials And Methods: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of 200 (100 CLP, 100 control) children (5-18 years old) were evaluated from the computer database of Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry. Children with a history of maxillofacial trauma, diseases that affect bone metabolism, orthognathic surgery, extrinsic pathologies of the MS, and accompanying syndromes were excluded.

Incidence of dental barotrauma and temporomandibular joint problems of divers in Turkey.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to examine dental barotrauma and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complaints in a large group of divers.

Methods: This survey study included scuba divers older than 18. The questionnaire contained 25 questions about the demographic characteristics of divers, dental health behaviors, and diving-related dental, sinus and/or temporomandibular joint pain.

A diving physician's experience of dental barotrauma during hyperbaric chamber exposure: case report.

Previous cases of dental barotrauma have been reported in pilots and divers. We report a case of dental barotrauma and barodontalgia in a diving physician accompanying patients during hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and due to pressure changes in the hyperbaric chamber. The physician developed sharp pain localised to the right maxillary molars but radiating to the face, ear and head during decompression from 243 kPa (2.

Prevalence of bifid mandibular canal according to gender, type and side.

Background/purpose: An awareness of mandibular canal variations may help prevent complications due to nerve damage that can occur during surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the variations of mandibular canal distribution and frequency via cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), retrospectively, in a Turkish population.

Materials And Methods: The study population comprises 500 (250 female, 250 male) randomly selected participants between the ages of 14 and 79 years.

Evaluation of Distolingual Canal/Roots in Mandibular Molars and Mesiobuccal Canals in Maxillary Molars by CBCT.

Background/purpose: The objectives of this study were to identify the bilateral distolingual (DL) canals / roots of the mandibular first molars and second mesiobuccal (MB2) canals of the maxillary first molars in the same Turkish individuals using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: A total of 150 CBCT images including all mandibular and maxillary first molars were retrospectively investigated in a Turkish subpopulation. The patient age, sex and presence of roots and root canals were assessed.

Effect of Septal Deviation, Concha Bullosa and Haller's Cell on Maxillary Sinus's Inferior Pneumatization; a Retrospective Study.

Maxillary sinus's inferior pneumatization is a physiological process, which increase with time and accelerates following extraction. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of nasal septal deviation (NSD), concha bullosa (CB), and Haller's cells (HC) and to examine the correlation of maxillary sinus inferior pneumatization (MSIP) with these anatomical variations. Material and Methods : 300 (150 m, 150 f) CBCT scans taken at the Marmara University School of Dentistry from 2011 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of CB, NSD, HC and MSIP.

A study of impacted love: kissing molars.

Introduction: "Kissing" or "rosetting" of molars refers to contacting occlusal surfaces of impacted permanent mandibular second, third, and, very rarely, fourth molars. It is a rare phenomenon.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, dental involvement type, associated pathologies and treatment outcomes of kissing molars in all patients who underwent lower third molar surgery between March 2008 and October 2011, at a military hospital in Turkey.

Diagnostic importance of MRI and CT scans for synovial osteochondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint.

Since synovial chondromatosis (SC) clinically mimics symptoms of internal derangements of the TMJ, the diagnostic value of MRI and CT, overlooked for years, is discussed in the presented case. Multiple amorphous calcifications in the left infratemporal fossa and upper synovial compartment of the TMJ were detected on the CT and MRI scans. The patient underwent open TMJ arthrotomy and removal of 15 calcified loose bodies.
