JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA national oral health pathfinder survey has been conducted by our research team in Turkey, in collaboration with the WHO European Region.
Some of the data obtained by this survey were for CPITN values for age groups above 10 years, and can be summarized as follows :
These findings demonstrate that preventive periodontal therapy and community-based prophylaxis methods, will undoubtedly be of prime importance in future nationwide dental health service planning in Turkey.View full abstractDownload PDF (366K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA study was conducted on the effectiveness of individual maintenance recalls and the long-term effects of surgical therapy on pocket depth and tooth loss in 43 patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease. Sixteen of the patients had periodic control and 27 were uncontrolled. Intervals of periodic recall ranged from 3 to 6 months according to individual needs. Pocket depths were measured from four aspects of each tooth and initially classified as shallow (1-3 mm), moderate (4-6 mm) or deep (7 mm or more). Changes in each pocket depth level were determined after 10 years.
Tenth-year comparisons showed that the uncontrolled group had significantly higher mean pocket depth values. Tooth loss rate was 3.6% in the controlled group, and 14.1% in the uncontrolled group, and the mean numbers of lost teeth were 0.69 and 3.63, respectively, in the ten-year period. It was concluded that periodic recalls were essential for long-term success of periodontal surgery.View full abstractDownload PDF (659K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSToday the ANB angle is commonly used for defining the anteroposterior apical base relationships of the jaws. The factors that influence the ANB angle have been studied by various investigators. The axial inclination of the maxillary central teeth is one of the factors influencing the location of point A.
In this study the relationship between the axial inclination of the upper central incisor and the location of point A was studied. Four criteria that define the location of the maxillary central teeth were used : I (incisal point), Ap (apical point), R (rotation point), and I-SN (angle between I and SN plane).
A significant positive correlation was found between the location of points A and R. We also calculated a regression equation for this relationship.View full abstractDownload PDF (410K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEleven specimens of hyperplastic dental follicles were studied clinicopathologically, with reference to the patient's sex and age at the time of diagnosis, site of the lesions, and histopathology. The patients comprised 6 males and 5 females with an average age of 15.7 years (range 10 to 23 years). Two cases involved multiple lesions, and 9 a single lesion. The lesions were related to impaction of the canine, second premolar, second molar or third molar. Radiographically, the lesions showed various degrees of radiolucency around the crown of the impacted tooth. Most of the cases were diagnosed clinically as dentigerous cyst. The histopathological features of the lesions were similar to those of normal dental follicular tissue around the developing tooth. No tumorous features such as odontogenic fibroma, odontogenic myxoma or myxofibroma were evident in the lesions.View full abstractDownload PDF (2107K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe describe 4 cases of gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine, together with clinical and histological findings. Hyperplasia of the interdental papillae was observed in all cases. Histologic examination showed multilayered epithelial parakeratosis with variations in the width, proliferation, reticulation and elongation of the rete pegs. Substitution of another drug and improvement of oral hygiene led to reduction of the gingival overgrowth without gingivectomy. These treatments are essential for gingival hyperplasia induced by nifedipine.View full abstractDownload PDF (2420K)
