Oral surgical procedures cause high-pain expectation and consequent anxiety in patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Er, Cr: YSGG laser and scalpel method on dental anxiety level during second-stage implant surgery. 96 patients with 304 osseointegrated implants were divided into two groups. Implants embedded under the oral mucosa were exposed with scalpel or laser surgery. Before the operation the patients were asked to fill the STAI and DAS while resting in the waiting room. In addition, postoperative daily analgesic use, VAS scores perioperativly and on the postoperative 1st, 2nd and 3rd days and demographic information such as age and gender were also recorded. There was no statistically significant relationship between surgical method and anxiety levels (p>0.05. Also, the differences between the scalpel and laser groups in terms of total DAS and STAI scores were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). But statistically significant difference was found between surgical method and the analgesic consumption (p<0.05). A higher rate of analgesic consumption was observed in the scalpel group. The use of Er,Cr;YSGG laser could reduce pain during minor oral surgical procedures but had no significant effect on dental anxiety. Different modalities that could provide additional benefits in overcoming this situation should be investigated. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.

(Termedia Publishing House Ltd., 2023) Akyol, G.D.; Kolcu, M.I.B.; Alpaslan, N.Z.; Taşpınar, F.; Mızrak, R.Y.; Tunç, S.K.; İnanç, B.
Introduction: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is one of the most popular and convenient material among current endodontic materials. In addition to MTA advantages, there are also features that need to be improved. Color stability and consistency are notorious concerns in MTA, and materials need improvement regarding theses aspects. There are companies, which work on these contents. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the cyto-toxicity of Biodentine, Angelus MTA, BIOfactor MTA on 3T3L-1 fibroblast, and Saos-2 osteosarcoma cell lines with different dilution of all products. Material and methods: 3T3-1 fibroblast was applied to stimulate pulp cells in cell viability test. In order to generate an osteoblastic cell-like model, only Saos-2 cells were used. MTT test was utilized to measure cell cytotoxicity in different dilution of all MTA products. SPSS package program was applied to perform Kruskal-Wallis, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA tests. Results: According to results, while Biodentine, Angelus MTA and BIOfactor MTA showed cyto-toxic effects in 1: 1 and 1: 2 dilutions, they were not cyto-toxic in 1: 4 and 1: 8 dilutions. Conclusions: MTA products have similar cyto-toxicity. BIOfactor MTA has a cyto-toxic effect as other similar products. © 2023 Polish Dental Association.
