Publication Metadata only Analyses of herbal toothpaste's antimicrobial efficacy: in-vitro study(2022-09-15) MEŞELİ, SİMGE; AKSU, MEHMET BURAK; ALKAN, ELİF; TAĞTEKİN, DİLEK; MEŞELİ S., AKSU M. B., ALKAN E., KORKMAZ N., TAĞTEKİN D., YANIKOĞLU F.Publication Metadata only Can intraoral scanning an alternative to clinical visual assessment in dental plaque scoring(2023-05-12) MEŞELİ, SİMGE; KORKUT, BORA; TAĞTEKİN, DİLEK; MEŞELİ S., KORKUT B., TAĞTEKİN D., YANIKOĞLU F.Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical visual examination and intraoral scanning methods for the assessment of dental plaque scores. And also to assess the effect of plaque staining on the scores. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight volunteers between the age of 18-45 were included in the study. The volunteers were divided into two groups according to DMFT (D: Decayed, M: Missing, F: Filling T: Teeth) scores [low DMFT group (scores under 4), high DMFT group (scores over 10)].The level of dental plaque on buccal and lingual surfaces of all teeth was scored by using clinical visual examination with and without staining and also by intraoral scanning (iTero Element Flex, Align Technologies, San Jose, California) with staining. Dental plaque scoring was performed with the Turesky Modified Quigley Hein Plaque Index through the clinical visual examination and the scanned intraoral images. The comparisons between the clinical visual examination and intraoral scanning scores were analyzed by Mann Whitney U and Friedman Tests using the IBM SPSS Statistics V23. The deem significance was set at p<0.05. Results: In low DMFT group, In the low DMFT group, unstained clinical visual examination scores were significantly lower than stained visual examination scores and intraoral scanning scores (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference among all the three imaging methods regarding the high DMFT group, in terms of the plaque scores (p=0.441). Conclusion: The staining of dental plaque might have a positive effect for the determination of the plaque clinically, for the patients with low DMFT scores. The intraoral scanningmay be used as an alternative method to the conventional clinical plaque indices which are used through the clinical visual examination, and also to educate and motivate thepatients about the plaque control and the oral care.Publication Metadata only Assessment of highly-filled flowable composite and different surface treatments for composite repair(2021-10-31) KANAR, ÖZLEM; MEŞELİ, SİMGE; KORKUT, BORA; TAĞTEKİN, DİLEK; KANAR Ö., MEŞELİ S., KORKUT B., KÖKEN S., TAĞTEKİN D., YANIKOĞLU F.Publication Metadata only DMFT related dental plaque scoring by using different imaging systems(2023-07-10) MEŞELİ, SİMGE; KORKUT, BORA; TAĞTEKİN, DİLEK; MEŞELİ S., KORKUT B., TAĞTEKİN D., YANIKOĞLU F.Publication Open Access Diagnostic performance of different fluorescence systems on occlusal caries of permanent teeth(2023-11-01) ALKAN, ELİF; MEŞELİ, SİMGE; KARGÜL, BETÜL; TAĞTEKİN, DİLEK; ALKAN E., Akça A.

Many toothpastes contain SLS and it is responsible for the formation of foam when brushing. However SLS may also irritate sensitive teeth and gums. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is defined as an autoxidation process that is induced through the attack of free oxygen radicals leading to oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of various diseases. LPO causes the formation of highly reactive products including different aldehydes, ketones, and alkanes serving as biomarkers of LPO. In our study we aimed to expose zebrafish embryos to SLS and determine LPO in SLS exposed zebrafish embryos. Material and Method: Zebrafish embryos that were dividing normally and which had spherical shapes were chosen and they were exposed to SLS both in low and high concentrations in well plates for 72 hours. Rates of mortality and hatching were determined. The levels of malondialdehyde were evaluated using the Yagi's method as the end products of LPO in the form of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Results: Our findings showed LPO increased significantly in both low SLS (p<0.05) and high dose SLS (p<0.05) exposed zebrafish embryos when they were compared to the control group. Conclusion: It may be suggested that LPO is an early indicator of exposure to SLS during embryogenesis and further studies are required to confirm this finding.
