Evaluation of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders and incisal relationships among 7-10-year-old Turkish children with sleep bruxism: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To study the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and incisal relationships related to sleep bruxism and parafunctional habits among children.

Methods: The study consisted of 106 children (53 with and 53 without bruxism) between the ages of 7 and 10. A general questionnaire and Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Axis I examination form were used for each child.

The Preventive Effect of Curcumin on the Experimental Rat Epidural Fibrosis Model.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of systemically administrated curcumin on the prevention of peridural fibrotic tissue and adhesion formation in a rat laminectomy model.

Methods: Thirty-two Wistar albino rats were randomly selected and equally divided into 4 groups as follows: negative control group (group I) did not undergo operation; positive control group (group II) underwent laminectomy without treatment; group III (low-dose curcumin; 100 mg/kg); and group IV (high-dose curcumin; 200 mg/kg). Curcumin was administered intraperitoneally per day for 7 days after surgery starting from day 0.

A Retrospective Comparison of Dental Treatment under General Anesthesia Provided for Uncooperative Healthy Patients and Patients with Special Health Care Needs.

This retrospective comparative analysis evaluates the patterns of dental treatment undertaken on uncooperative healthy and special health care needs patients with respect to different age categories. This study reviewed the data from 342 patients (205 male and 137 female), between the ages of 1 and 12 at the time of the treatment, who had received comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia in the operating rooms of the Faculty of Medicine, Cukurova University from January 2016 through December 2018. Patient records were divided into two groups according to the patient's medical and mental conditions.

Clinical evaluation of a self-adhering flowable composite as occlusal restorative material in primary molars: one-year results.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the 1 year clinical performances of a self-adhering flowable composite and a commercially available self-etch adhesive/composite system in occlusal restorations of primary second molars.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-one patients (10 male, 21 female) were recruited into the study. A total of 62 occlusal cavities were restored with either a universal composite or a self-adhering flowable composite according to manufacturers' instructions.

Parent's report on oral health-related quality of life of children with haemophilia.

Introduction: Among children with haemophilia and their caregivers; problems arising from the teeth and the surrounding tissues have an important role in the treatment of this disease and it affects the quality of life of children and their parents.

Aim: Aim of this study is to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life of children with haemophilia from the perspective of their parents.

Methods: Paediatric oral health-related quality of life (POQL) instrument was used in this cross-sectional study for quality of life measurement.

Validity and reliability of a Turkish pediatric oral health-related quality of life measure.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop Turkish measures for Pediatric Oral Health-related Quality of Life (POQL) and evaluate their reliability and validity for use in Turkish children aged 8-14 years (Child Self-Report measure; CSR) and their caregivers (Parent Report-on-Child measure; PRC).

Materials And Methods: The English POQL was translated into Turkish, adapted for the Turkish culture, and tested in 149 children and their caregivers attending the Çukurova University Pediatric Dentistry clinics to assess the reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant and convergent validity of the Turkish version.

Results: The internal consistency of the Turkish POQL evaluated using Cronbach's alpha was 0.

Hispanic parents' reading language preference and pediatric oral health-related quality of life.

Objectives: This study compared scores and psychometric properties from self-identified Hispanic parents who completed Pediatric Oral Health-related Quality of life (POQL) parent report-on-child questionnaires in Spanish or English. The study hypothesized that there were no differences in psychometric properties or POQL scores by parent reading language preference, controlling for dental needs, child's place of birth, age, insurance and use of care.

Methods: POQL scores were computed, and the internal consistency, feasibility, factor structure and construct validity of the Spanish language version assessed.

A unique case of Turner syndrome accompanying prolactinoma and unexpected elongated styloid process: Clinical and cone-beam computed tomographic features.

Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities, with an estimated frequency among female live births of 1/2,000-3,000. The syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome (45,X karyotype). We reported a unique case of a 40-year-old woman with TS accompanying unexpected elongated styloid process specific to Eagle syndrome (ES) and followed up-prolactinoma.
