Evaluation of Pain Felt by Patients During Orthodontic Diagnostic Material Collection and Direct Bonding Procedures
(AVES, 2022) Ciğerim, S.Ç.; Karaman, A.
Objecti̇ve: The aim of this study to evaluate pain felt by patients during orthodontic diagnostic material collection and direct bonding procedures Methods: A total of 400 individuals (250 females, 150 males) between the ages of 11 and 20. The pain values of the patients during the orthodontic diagnostic material collection and the direct bonding procedures were recorded using the VAS (Visual analogue scale). Results: The mean values of the pain felt during the taking dental impression procedure was found to be higher than the mean value of the pain felt during dental radiography. Values of the pain felt during taking dental impression, lip/cheeck retractor placement, polishing, acid etching and sealing, and bracket bonding procedures differed by age groups and the mean pain values were higher in the younger age group. There was no statistically significant difference between the pain felt during intraoral photographing and the pain felt during the lip/cheeck retractor placement in the bonding procedure. Conclusion: It was determined that patients felt more pain at various stages of orthodontic diagnostic material collection and direct bonding procedures. © 2022, AVES. All rights reserved.
Fixed Orthodontic Treatment of a Patient With Skeletal Class Ii Malocclusion With Infrazygomatic Anchorage and En-Masse Retraction
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2020) Ciğerim, S.Ç.; Kotan, S.; Dinç, G.
Treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusions is difficult anomalies in orthodontics. The treatment of skeletal Class II anomalies varies according to the jaw and the growth period of the anomalies. Adult individuals whose growth is over are treated with fixed orthodontic mechanics or orthognathic surgical approaches. If skeletal class II anomaly is not severe and does not constitute a problem aesthetically, camouflage treatment can be done with fixed orthodontic mechanics. This case report presents the results of orthodontic camouflage treatment and treatment applied to a skeletal Class II malocclusion female patient with chronological age of 18 years and skeletally in the Ru period. The molar relationship of the patient with a slightly convex profile is Angle Class II. In cephalometric examination, skeletal class II problem was detected (ANBº = 6º). At the end of the treatment, angle class II relation in the molar region, angle class I relation in the canine region and a smooth soft tissue profile were obtained. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
