Assessment of the Change in the Nasal Septum and Nasal Profile After Le Fort I With Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nasal changes and the amount of advancement, impaction, and downward movement of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy.

Methods: The study included 48 patients who underwent Le Fort I surgery and had pre- and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography records. Changes in the nasal septum were evaluated by measuring septal deviation angles and volumes.

Sex estimation by volumetric evaluation of the maxillary canine using cone-beam computed tomographic images.

Background: Teeth can be a reasonable part of sex estimation in case of being the single evidence available or in doubt although they are not as accurate as bones in sex estimation. The size of teeth is greater in males than in females. In this study, it was aimed to determine cut-off values of the tooth volume (TV) and root volume (RV) of the maxillary canines and to evaluate the validity of the method for discriminating between males and females.

Comparison of mechanical stability of mini-screws with resorbable blasting media and micro-arc oxidation surface treatments under orthodontic forces: An in vitro biomechanical study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the primary stability of mini-screws with different surface treatments such as resorbable blasting media (RBM) and micro-arc oxidation (MAO) under in vitro orthodontic forces.

Material And Methods: Thirty-six self-drilling TiAl6V4-ELI grade 23 titanium alloy 1.6×8mm mini-screws were inserted into polyurethane foam blocks and divided into three groups according to surface properties: machine surface (MS), RBM-treated, and MAO-treated.

Determination of the thickness of the safe enamel for laminate veneer preparation and orthodontic stripping by CBCT.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the thickness and limitation of the safe enamel for laminate veneers and orthodontic stripping applications. Enamel thickness (ET) was determined in detail for each tooth and also it was examined whether there was a relationship between the mesiodistal crown width of the teeth and the thickness of the enamel and whether there was a sexual dimorphism.

Subjects And Methods: CBCT records of 101 subjects (mean age: 20.

Does audiovisual information affect anxiety and perceived pain levels in miniscrew application? - a within-person randomized controlled trial.

Background: Anxiety can cause difficulties during surgical procedures. The main objective of this study was to evaluate changes in patients' anxiety and perceived pain levels after receiving audiovisual and verbal information about miniscrew application.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-eight patients (30 males and 58 females) with a mean age of 18.
