Publication Open Access Caries Preventive Effects of Theobromine Containing Toothpaste on Early Childhood Caries: Preliminary Results(UNIV ZAGREB, SCH DENTAL MEDICINE, 2021-03-15) KARGÜL, BETÜL; Durhan, Muesser Ahu; Bisel, Seda Ozsalih; Gokkaya, Berna; Yildiz, Pinar Kulan; Kargul, BetulObjective: Enamel remineralizing effects of theobromine have received much attention from the clinicians. The aim of this study was to investigate the caries preventive effect of theobromine containing toothpaste on children with early childhood caries (ECC). Materials & Methods: Salivary pH, buffering capacity and frequency of Streptococcus mutans (SM) levels were measured. Each child was assigned either fluoridated or theobromine containing toothpaste. The changes were analyzed using Laser Fluorescence system. Statistical analyses were performed. Results: We included 13 children (mean age 4.25) with 145 teeth in the fluoridated toothpaste (Colgate Kids toothpaste) group; 13 children (mean age 4.46) with 115 teeth in theobromine containing toothpaste (Theodent (TM) Kids toothpaste) group. Both toothpastes demonstrated enamel remineralization and were effective in increasing the buffering capacity and pH (p < 0.05). A statistically significant decrease in S. mutans levels was found in both toothpaste groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both toothpaste group showed a statistically significant amount of enamel remineralization. Since theobromine had the added benefits of increasing the salivary pH and decreasing the S.mutans levels, theobromine containing toothpastes can be considered effective agents in remineralizing white spot lesions and can be used in prevention of early enamel lesions.Publication Open Access The Plaque Removal Effectiveness of Powered and Manual Tooth Brush in Children: A Pilot Study(2018-12-30) KARGÜL, BETÜL; Durhan, Muesser Ahu; Uluakay, Merve; Kargul, BetulPublication Open Access 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.Publication Open Access A Quantitative Analysis of a Probiotic Storage Media for Avulsed Teeth(UNIV ZAGREB, SCH DENTAL MEDICINE, 2015-03-15) KARGÜL, BETÜL; Esber, Caglar; Sertac, Peker; Ahu, Durhan Muyesser; Pinar, Kulan; Onder, Kuscu Ozgur; Rabia, Pisiriciler; Enis, Ak Caliskan; Betul, Kargul; Nuket, SandalliAim: The aim of the present in vitro study was to investigate the potential of a storage medium, probiotic yogurt (Bifidibacterium animalis DN 173010) in comparison with Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), saline and milk in maintaining viable periodontal ligament (PDL) cells on simulated avulsed teeth. Materials and methods: Thirty-six freshly extracted single-rooted human teeth with closed apices were divided into six experimental groups (N=6). The teeth were extracted as atraumatically as possible and washed in sterile saline solution to eliminate residual blood. Following extractions, the coronal 3 mm of PDL tissues were scraped with a #15 scalpel to remove cells that may have been damaged. The positive and negative controls corresponded to 0 minutes and an 8-hour dry time, respectively. After extraction, the positive control teeth were immediately treated with dispase and collagenase. The negative control teeth were bench-dried for 8 h, with no follow-up storage solution time, and then placed in the dispase and collagenase. The number of viable protective least significant difference PDL cells were counted under a light microscope with a hemocytometer at 20x magnification and analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was accomplished using Nonparametric ANOVA complemented by Kruskal-Wallis Test and Dunn's Multiple Comparisons Test. Results: Positive control was found to be significantly better than the others, there were statistically significant differences between positive control and other test groups (p=0.000). The teeth stored in positive control demonstrated the highest number of viable PDL cells followed in order by probiotic yogurt, HBSS, saline and milk. Conclusion: Bifidibacterium animalis DN 173010 seems to be an alternative for the temporary storage of avulsed teeth, due to high number of viable PDL cells. Probiotics may be suitable transport media for avulsed teeth, but further research is warranted using the commercially available products.Publication Open Access The effect of a novel toothpaste in children with white spot lesions(2022-11-01) YILMAZ, MÜESSER AHU; KARGÜL, BETÜL; YILMAZ M. A. , Yildiz P. K. , Gokkaya B., Bilsel S. O. , KARGÜL B.Objective: To investigate the effect of a novel mineral containing toothpaste in comparison to a fluoride toothpaste in children with white spot lesions.Publication Open Access 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.
