Introduction: One of the most common problems in patients with inherited coagulation disorders, especially hemophilia, is joint problems. This study aims to investigate whether temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is affected in patients with hemophilia or other coagulation factor disorders.
Material & Methods: In this study, a patient group and a control group were formed.
Purpose: The goal was to evaluate the effects of Angle class II malocclusion treatment using the Forsus fatigue resistant device (FRD, 3M, St. Paul, MN, USA) on the position and angulation of mandibular third molars and retromolar space.
Patients And Methods: In all, 58 class II patients (mean age 13.
Purpose: There are very few studies evaluating the knowledge of dentists about infection precautions in oral radiology. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the modified form of a developed questionnaire and to apply this questionnaire to Turkish dentists.
Materials And Methods: The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 250 dentists for the scale development [200 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and 50 for control] and 173 dentists for the implementation of the scale.
Purpose: Mental index (MI) and panoramic mandibular index (PMI) are important radiomorphometric indices used for assessing the quality of the mandibular bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effect of mandibular posterior tooth/teeth loss in young adults on the MI and PMI (superior panoramic mandibular index: PMI-s, and inferior panoramic mandibular index: PMI-i).
Materials And Methods: Digital panoramic radiographs belonging to 253 patients aged between 18-35 years old were examined.
