Objectives: We evaluated the in vitro detection sensitivity of orthodontic materials (serving as foreign bodies) using panoramic radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography.
Methods: Five different orthodontic materials served as foreign bodies: titanium-molybdenum alloy wire (TMA; ORMCO, Orange, CA, USA; 0.017 × 0.
Background/purpose: Bruxism affects the stomatognathic system and causes tissue damage by the excessive jaw movements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of sleep bruxism on jaw bone density, mineralisation and morphology by comparing bruxers and non-bruxers.
Materials And Methods: 60 bruxers and 60 non-bruxers (control) patients were included in the analysis.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm the detection of proximal caries using near-infrared light transillumination (NILTI) (DIAGNOcam) device, and to compare the diagnostic performance of the device with other caries detection methods, including visual examination using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), bitewing radiography (BW), an LED-based device (Midwest Caries I.D.), and a laser fluorescence device (LFpen).

Materials And Methods: Forty non-cavitated and restoration-free human premolars and molars ranging from sound to various grades of lesions without cavitations were assigned to 13 groups with different combination of fix appliance equipment. CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) (Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid, Helsinki, Finland) images were obtained using combinations of three orthodontic bracket materials and two orthodontic archwire with small and large FOVs and with and without AR activation.
Objectives: To investigate the influence of orthodontic materials on the assessment of proximal caries using periapical radiography.
Methods: Forty non-cavitated and restoration-free human premolars and molars ranging from sound teeth to teeth containing various grades of lesions were embedded with approximal contacts into silicon blocks. Periapical radiographs were obtained using combinations of two orthodontic materials (three bracket and two archwires).
Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging is widely used in children; however, it remains controversial because of the health effects of radiation.
Aim: This retrospective study investigated the indications for CBCT and dentomaxillofacial pathologies in paediatric patients.
Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 329 paediatric patients (i.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare cephalometric variables of subjects with normal and cesarean births.
Materials And Methods: Ninety age- and gender-matched patients, who were treated in Gaziantep University, Faculty of Dentistry Orthodontics Department were equally divided into normal and cesarean groups according to the birth methods reported by their mothers. To eliminate the negative effects of being different in terms of age and gender among parameters, control, and patient groups were matched in the present study.
Purpose: We determined actual bucco-lingual angulation values and morphological variations of residual bone in the mandibular posterior edentulous region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic radiography. A second aim was to investigate whether it was possible to predict bone morphology from panoramic radiographs.
Methods: Data were collected from 77 consecutive patients referred for both CBCT and panoramic radiography in our department.
