    This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of different fluoride ion (F) varnish formulations for controlling the carious development of enamel subsurface lesions and the F release into artificial saliva for 2 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr, and 7 days. Artificial enamel carious lesions were created and divided into 6 groups (5 varnish groups and a control group). Varnishes were applied to enamel specimens and then the specimens were incubated in artificial saliva, with the artificial saliva replenished daily. Varnish was removed and lesions were remineralized in artificial saliva for 24 hr. Surface microhardness was measured three times: (i) initially, (ii) after creating the artificial enamel lesions, and (iii) after applying the varnishes. The F release was analyzed after 2 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr, and 7 days of exposure using an ion-selective electrode. Data were analyzed using a One-way Analysis of Variance with the Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons test and the Kruskal-Wallis test with the Dunns Multiple Comparisons test. The highest percentage surface microhardness recovery was found for the treatment with the MI Varnish. According to the percentage surface microhardness recovery results, a statistically significant difference was found between the varnishes and the control group (p < 0.05 and < 0.001). All varnishes released measurable levels of fluoride ions. However, the release of F was the highest in the MI Varnish group (p < 0.01). Duraphat, Enamel Pro Varnish, and MI Varnish released the most F into artificial saliva. Calcium phosphate-based F varnishes improve the capacity of the enamel surface re -hardening. CPP containing F varnish had the highest release of F as compared to the other F releasing varnishes. Further in vivo investigations are also required to prove the clinical applications of the different ingredients containing varnishes.

    Randomized clinical trial of heated high viscosity glass ionomer class ii restorations in deciduous molars: 12 months follow up
    (2022-06-01) EREN GİRAY, FİGEN; KARGÜL, BETÜL; YILMAZ, MÜESSER AHU; YILMAZ M. A., EREN GİRAY F., Ince E. B. T., TÜZÜNER T., AYKUT YETKİNER A., ERSİN N., KARGÜL B.
    Objective: New generation High Viscosity Glass Ionomer Cements (HVGICs) have enhanced physical and mechanical properties. By effectively closing the restoration margin, it ensures that the restorations will last longer. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical performances of heat-cured versus non heated HVGIC in class II restorations of deciduous molars.

    Retrospective evaluation of traction time for impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisors in mixed dentition
    (2023-04-01) ŞEN YAVUZ, BETÜL; YILMAZ, MÜESSER AHU; HAZNEDAROĞLU, EDA; UĞURLU, FAYSAL; MENTEŞ, ALİ RECAİ; Şen Yavuz B., Yılmaz M. A., Haznedaroğlu E., Sezer B., Okutan A. E., Sezgin B. I., Özçelik M., Sezgin G. İ., Uğurlu F., Menteş A. R.
    PurposesThis study aimed to contribute to understanding the factors affecting the time of traction treatment of impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisors.MethodsThis retrospective study included children aged 8 – 11 years with a history of trauma, who applied to the pediatric dentistry clinics of Marmara University, School of Dentistry, between December 2013 and December 2019, and were treated for unilateral impacted dilacerated maxillary upper central incisors. Children\"s age, sex, digital panoramic radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography, and intraoral photographs were retrieved from electronic dental health records. The effects of children\"s age, sex, the direction of impacted teeth, distance of the teeth to the top of the alveolar crest, and root dilaceration level on traction time were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman\"s rank correlation coefficient test.ResultsThe inverse position of the incisors significantly increased the traction time (P = 0.012). However, the traction time did not differ according to the sex of the children (P = 0.707) or the level of root dilaceration (P = 0.429). No correlation was observed between the traction time and the age of children (P = 0.644) or the distance of the incisors from the top of the alveolar crest (P = 0.397).ConclusionsIn cases of the forced eruption of for the impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisors, the direction of the teeth should be evaluated when deciding on the treatment plan, as it may affect the treatment time.

    Assessment of Relationship between Intelligence Quotient and Orthodontic Treatment Need Procjena odnosa između kvocijenta inteligencije i potrebe za ortodontskom terapijom
    (2023-09-01) YILMAZ, MÜESSER AHU; YILMAZ, HANİFE NURAY; AĞRALI, ÖMER BİRKAN; KARGÜL, BETÜL; Yavuz B. S., YILMAZ M. A., YILMAZ H. N., AĞRALI Ö. B., Bilsel S. O., KARGÜL B.
    Objective: Low cognitive ability may reduce the ability to understand the importance of oral health and to perform the necessary practices to maintain proper oral hygiene. Early loss of primary teeth following high caries risk may lead to malocclusion of permanent dentition. This study aimed to eval-uate the relationship between the cognitive levels of adolescents and their orthodontic treatment needs. Material and Methods: Between January 2018 and May 2018, 200 adolescents aged 10 – 15 who applied to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Marmara University and sought orthodontic treatment were invited to participate in the study. The orthodontic treatment needs of 150 adolescents who agreed to participate were evaluated with the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Aesthetic Component and their cognitive levels were evaluated with the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) Test. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age (± standard deviation) of 126 adolescents (77 females and 49 males) who completed the SPM test was 11.8 (± 1.3). There was no consistency between the intellectual level and the need for orthodontic treatment (Kappa value = 0.071, p-value = 0.081). There was no correlation between malocclusion sever-ity and intelligence quotient scores of adolescents (ρ [rho] =-0.089, p = 0.322). According to Mul-tiple logistic regression results, there was no difference between ‘borderline need’ (p = 0.059) and ‘great need’ (p = 0.881) from ‘no need’ for orthodontic treatment in adolescents with different intelligence quotients. Conclusions: The results showed no evidence for an association between maloc-clusion and intelligence quotient.
