Prevalence of hypercementosis and frequency of possible etiological factors in a Turkish subpopulation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and types of hypercementosis and the frequency of possible etiological factors in a large sample of Turkish central Anatolian population.

Subjects And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using panoramic radiographs of 1176 randomly selected adult patients with an age range of 18-96 years, who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology of the Faculty of Dentistry, Cumhuriyet University (Sivas, Turkey) for dental care. Patients were questioned about the presence of systemic diseases.

Optimization of an ultrasound-assisted alcohol-based deep eutectic solvent dispersive liquid-phase microextraction for separation and preconcentration of quercetin in wine and food samples with response surface methodology.

We optimized ultrasound-assisted alcohol-based deep eutectic solvent dispersive liquid-phase microextraction for separation and preconcentration of quercetin in wine and food samples by experimental design based on central composite design. Five different alcohol-based deep eutectic solvents were prepared and tested for quercetin extraction. The effect of important parameters and matrix components were optimized.

Towards green analysis of curcumin from tea, honey and spices: Extraction by deep eutectic solvent assisted emulsification liquid-liquid microextraction method based on response surface design.

A fast, cheap and green analytical method was developed for the determination and extraction of curcumin in tea, honey, and spices using deep eutectic solvent-assisted emulsification liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DES-ELLME) coupled to UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Quantitative extraction of curcumin from the sample was obtained by the DES, which was prepared by mixing choline chloride and maltose in a 1:3 molar ratio. Response surface design was used for the optimisation of significant experimental parameters including sample pH, amount of extraction solvent, amount of emulsifier solvent and vortex time.

Development of a chemometric-assisted deep eutectic solvent-based microextraction procedure for extraction of caffeine in foods and beverages.

In this research article, a novel and green deep eutectic solvent-based microextraction (DES-ME) procedure based on chemometric-assisted (CA) optimization was developed for the extraction of caffeine in foods and beverages prior to its spectrophotometric determination. Ultrasound was used to accelerate the extraction of caffeine. Deep eutectic solvents (DES), prepared in an ultrasonic bath at 20-60 min for 60-80°C, were used as extraction solvents.

[Is there any relation between type 1 halitosis and oral candida colonisation?].

Pathologic halitosis has been classified into 5 types: oral, airway, gastroesophageal, blood-borne and subjective, respectively. Type 1 (oral) halitosis mostly takes origin from anaerobic bacterial activities on oral surfaces. The role of anaerobic bacterial activities is clearly demonstrated, but despite the large number of anectodal claims, the role of Candida in patients with halitosis has not been adequately investigated.
