Ortodontik tedaviye olan isteğin her geçen gün artması birçok yeniliği de beraberinde getirmiştir. Eskiden dişler üzerine siman ile yapıştırılıp kuvvet uygulanabilen bantlar hem estetik değildi hem de detaylı diş hareketleri yaptırmak zor ve yorucuydu. Yıllar içinde bantlar yerini braket sistemlerine bıraktı ve ortodonti alanında braketlerin diş yüzeyine tatmin edici bir şekilde bağlanabilmesi önemli bir konu haline geldi. Yeni geliştiren adeziv sistemler, braket çeşitleri, braket taban yapıları, farklı mine yüzeyi pürüzlendirme yöntemleri, kullanılan polimerizasyon cihazlarındaki gelişmeler diş braket arasındaki bağlanma kuvvetini daha ileri seviyelere taşımaya yardımcı oldu. Bütün bu gelişmeler ortodontistin tedavi sürecinde daha az sıkıntı ile karşılaşmasını ve daha hızlı tedaviler yapabilmesini sağladı.

STAIC was used to assess the anxiety levels of the children. Salivary samples were collected for stress hormone determination. Visual Analog Scale was used for pain determination. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured by using algometer. Data collection was performed a week before RME treatment (T0), at the day of the expansion appliance was bonded (T1), at the days of 1st, 4th, 7th, 14th, 25th, 36th activations of expansion screw (T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7) and after the retention period of 3 months (T8). The results of this study showed that the differences were statistically significant within-day (P < 0AE001) and within-hours (P < 0AE001) in cortisol levels during treatment. PPT levels were statistically significant within sex differences and skeletal maturity stages (P < 0AE05). State-trait anxiety scale scores were similar with respect to gender (P > 0AE05). There were statistically significant differences of state-trait anxiety levels between pre and post-treatment stages (P < 0AE05). The maximum number of patients reporting pain were days at T3 and T4. From day T5 the percentage of patients reporting pain then gradually reduced. Based on the findings of this study, it has been shown that RME leads to changes in patients' state-trait anxiety and cortisol levels.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the cooperation level of Class III malocclusion patients with orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods: This study followed a cross-sectional style; the targeted population was patients with Class III malocclusion who were treated with three different types of orthopaedic appliances. Four questionnaires were delivered to the patient, patient's parents, and orthodontists. Statistical analyses of the study were performed with SPSS 20.0 software. Descriptive analyses were presented using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Results: The study included a total of 183 orthodontic patients in the final analysis. Slightly more than half of the participants were females (52.46%; n=96) and the rest were male (47.54%; n=87). The highest frequency according to the device type was FM (50.8%) followed by CC (31.1%) while FM+RME wearer was 18.1%. Male expressed significantly higher (p <0.05) cooperation and tendency levels towards treatment than females. Cooperation level was also significantly associated with the parents' monitoring and motivation. Conclusion: Males had higher levels of treatment desire and cooperation than females during the treatment of Class III malocclusion. In addition, results emphasized the role of the motivational effect of the parent on the positive cooperation of the patients.

A prospective single-center study was conducted in 118 adults, aged between 13-19 years, living in Isparta, Turkey. Participants who had been treated with fixed orthodontic treatment for six months were included. Demographic features of the patients were recorded with a questionnaire. All the nutrients were asked via a 52-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Bleeding Index (BI), Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI), Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) were measured for the evaluation of periodontal status. The independent sample T test was used to determine whether there were any differences between the two independent groups and p<0.05 was considered significant in all values. In terms of the frequency of food consumption, it was seen that there was a statistically significant difference between semi-fat/non-fat milk, probiotic, cereal, cola drinks and potatoes according to BI and OPI likewise freshly squeezed juice drinks according to CPITN. These study results emphasize the need to develop programs to improve the dietary habits and periodontal status of adolescents, particularly before long orthodontic treatments. Multidisciplinary approach giving importance to healthy nutrition applications will be useful for the success of the orthodontic treatment.

Dudak ve damak yarıklı bireylerde solunum, işitme ve konuşma gibi fonksiyonel ve psikososyal sorunlar meydana gelmekte ve bu nedenle de bu bireyler multidisipliner tedavilere gereksinim duymaktadır. Dudak ve damak yarıklarının onarımı sonrası iyi bir fonksiyon, estetik ve yumuşak doku rekonstrüksiyonu elde etmek için erken yaşta alveolar yarıkların onarılması gerekmektedir. Alveolar kemik grefti uygulanan cerrahi işlemler, kemik formasyonunu oluşturur; oronasal fistülü ortadan kaldırır, ortodontik problemin nüksetmesini önler ve protetik tedavileri kolaylaştırır. Bu cerrahi işlemler, avantajlarına rağmen dudak damak yarıklı bireylerde skar oluşumuna sebep olur. Bu skar dokusu maksillanın sagital, vertikal ve transversal gelişimini ve pozisyonunu olumsuz yönde etkiler. Dolayısıyla maksiller diş kavsi daralır ve bu durum posterior çapraz kapanışa neden olur. Maksillanın genişletilmesi (maksiller genişletme apareyleri ile) ve ilerletilmesi (yüz maskesi ile) oluşan pozisyonel ve gelişimsel yetersizliklerin giderilmesinde kullanılır. Bu derlemenin amacı; tek veya çift taraflı dudak ve damak yarıklı bireylerin genişletme ve ilerletme uygulamaları sonucunda fasiyal morfolojilerinde meydana gelen iskeletsel, dentoalveolar ve yumuşak doku değişikliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir.

Given the gradual development and indirect accumulative effect of occlusal disharmonies, functional analysis could be considered the only method that can demonstrate malocclusions and their possible connections with functional disturbances and disorders. Thus, analysis of the functional units of the stomatognathic system should follow the clinical examination of the various components of the craniofacial complex in static and dynamic relationship, to achieve a comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Assessment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is one of the major elements of the functional analysis, and one of the long-term objectives of orthodontic treatment is to obtain an optimal function and health of the TMJs and masticatory system. Therefore, many studies discuss the condition of the TMJs in the pre-and post-treatment phases, regarding the disorders that may be present or will develop in the future. In this context, the objective of this literature overview is to explain the need of the functional analysis in modern orthodontics and the parts and components involved in the examination of the functional units of the stomatognathic system.

The demand for orthodontic treatment has increased with every passing day and brought many innovations together. In the past, the bands that were pasted with cement on the teeth and applied force were not both aesthetic and difficult to get detailed tooth movements and tired. Over the years, the bands have left their place to bracket systems and it has become an important issue to be able to connect the brackets to the tooth surface satisfactorily in the field of orthodontics. New developments in adhesive systems, bracket types, bracket base structures, different enamel surface etching methods, improvements in the used polymerizers have helped to improve the bonding strength between tooth and bracket. All these developments enabled the orthodontist to meet less difficulty in the treatment process and to perform faster treatments.

PAR indeksi, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası alçı modeller kullanılarak tedavi sonucunu değerlendirmek hedefiyle oluşturulmuş bir indekstir. Çalışmamızda Sınıf II Divizyon 1 maloklüzyonu olan bir vakanın çekimsiz tedavisi Headgear ile yapıldı. Tedaviye bağlı olarak oklüzyonda meydana gelen değişiklikleri hesaplamak için (Ağırlıklı PAR puanı yüzdesindeki azalma-PAR %)'nın yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ortodontik tedavi iyileşmesinin tespit edilmesinde PAR (%) yönteminin, tedavi öncesi PAR puanına göre değişikliği yansıttığı bilinmektedir. Olgumuzun PAR değerleri; PARbaşı 29, PARson 8'e düştü, PARfark 21 puanlık bir düşüş gösterdi ve PAR % = %72 hesaplandı ve bu durumda, PAR %, %70'ten daha büyük olduğu için "büyük ölçüde iyileştirmiş-çok başarılı" olarak kabul edildi.

Materials and methods: This study followed a cross-sectional style; the targeted population was patients with Class III malocclusion who were treated with three different types of orthopaedic appliances. Four questionnaires were delivered to the patient, patient's parents, and orthodontists. Statistical analyses of the study were performed with SPSS 20.0 software. Descriptive analyses were presented using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Results: The study included a total of 183 orthodontic patients in the final analysis. Slightly more than half of the participants were females (52.46%; n=96) and the rest were male (47.54%; n=87). The highest frequency according to the device type was FM (50.8%) followed by CC (31.1%) while FM+RME wearer was 18.1%. Male expressed significantly higher (p <0.05) cooperation and tendency levels towards treatment than females. Cooperation level was also significantly associated with the parents' monitoring and motivation. Conclusion: Males had higher levels of treatment desire and cooperation than females during the treatment of Class III malocclusion. In addition, results emphasized the role of the motivational effect of the parent on the positive cooperation of the patients.

A prospective single-center study was conducted in 118 adults, aged between 13-19 years, living in Isparta, Turkey. Participants who had been treated with fixed orthodontic treatment for six months were included. Demographic features of the patients were recorded with a questionnaire. All the nutrients were asked via a 52-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Bleeding Index (BI), Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI), Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) were measured for the evaluation of periodontal status. The independent sample T test was used to determine whether there were any differences between the two independent groups and p<0.05 was considered significant in all values. In terms of the frequency of food consumption, it was seen that there was a statistically significant difference between semi-fat/non-fat milk, probiotic, cereal, cola drinks and potatoes according to BI and OPI likewise freshly squeezed juice drinks according to CPITN. These study results emphasize the need to develop programs to improve the dietary habits and periodontal status of adolescents, particularly before long orthodontic treatments. Multidisciplinary approach giving importance to healthy nutrition applications will be useful for the success of the orthodontic treatment.

Dudak ve damak yarıklı bireylerde solunum, işitme ve konuşma gibi fonksiyonel ve psikososyal sorunlar meydana gelmekte ve bu nedenle de bu bireyler multidisipliner tedavilere gereksinim duymaktadır. Dudak ve damak yarıklarının onarımı sonrası iyi bir fonksiyon, estetik ve yumuşak doku rekonstrüksiyonu elde etmek için erken yaşta alveolar yarıkların onarılması gerekmektedir. Alveolar kemik grefti uygulanan cerrahi işlemler, kemik formasyonunu oluşturur; oronasal fistülü ortadan kaldırır, ortodontik problemin nüksetmesini önler ve protetik tedavileri kolaylaştırır. Bu cerrahi işlemler, avantajlarına rağmen dudak damak yarıklı bireylerde skar oluşumuna sebep olur. Bu skar dokusu maksillanın sagital, vertikal ve transversal gelişimini ve pozisyonunu olumsuz yönde etkiler. Dolayısıyla maksiller diş kavsi daralır ve bu durum posterior çapraz kapanışa neden olur. Maksillanın genişletilmesi (maksiller genişletme apareyleri ile) ve ilerletilmesi (yüz maskesi ile) oluşan pozisyonel ve gelişimsel yetersizliklerin giderilmesinde kullanılır. Bu derlemenin amacı; tek veya çift taraflı dudak ve damak yarıklı bireylerin genişletme ve ilerletme uygulamaları sonucunda fasiyal morfolojilerinde meydana gelen iskeletsel, dentoalveolar ve yumuşak doku değişikliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir.

Given the gradual development and indirect accumulative effect of occlusal disharmonies, functional analysis could be considered the only method that can demonstrate malocclusions and their possible connections with functional disturbances and disorders. Thus, analysis of the functional units of the stomatognathic system should follow the clinical examination of the various components of the craniofacial complex in static and dynamic relationship, to achieve a comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Assessment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is one of the major elements of the functional analysis, and one of the long-term objectives of orthodontic treatment is to obtain an optimal function and health of the TMJs and masticatory system. Therefore, many studies discuss the condition of the TMJs in the pre-and post-treatment phases, regarding the disorders that may be present or will develop in the future. In this context, the objective of this literature overview is to explain the need of the functional analysis in modern orthodontics and the parts and components involved in the examination of the functional units of the stomatognathic system.

The demand for orthodontic treatment has increased with every passing day and brought many innovations together. In the past, the bands that were pasted with cement on the teeth and applied force were not both aesthetic and difficult to get detailed tooth movements and tired. Over the years, the bands have left their place to bracket systems and it has become an important issue to be able to connect the brackets to the tooth surface satisfactorily in the field of orthodontics. New developments in adhesive systems, bracket types, bracket base structures, different enamel surface etching methods, improvements in the used polymerizers have helped to improve the bonding strength between tooth and bracket. All these developments enabled the orthodontist to meet less difficulty in the treatment process and to perform faster treatments.

PAR indeksi, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası alçı modeller kullanılarak tedavi sonucunu değerlendirmek hedefiyle oluşturulmuş bir indekstir. Çalışmamızda Sınıf II Divizyon 1 maloklüzyonu olan bir vakanın çekimsiz tedavisi Headgear ile yapıldı. Tedaviye bağlı olarak oklüzyonda meydana gelen değişiklikleri hesaplamak için (Ağırlıklı PAR puanı yüzdesindeki azalma-PAR %)'nın yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ortodontik tedavi iyileşmesinin tespit edilmesinde PAR (%) yönteminin, tedavi öncesi PAR puanına göre değişikliği yansıttığı bilinmektedir. Olgumuzun PAR değerleri; PARbaşı 29, PARson 8'e düştü, PARfark 21 puanlık bir düşüş gösterdi ve PAR % = %72 hesaplandı ve bu durumda, PAR %, %70'ten daha büyük olduğu için "büyük ölçüde iyileştirmiş-çok başarılı" olarak kabul edildi.
