The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a basic first aid course given at the Faculty of Dentistry of a university. Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of the study consisted of students (N=67) who took the Basic First Aid elective course at the Faculty of Dentistry of a university in the 2023-2024 academic year. 'Socio-Demographic Form' and 'Basic First Aid Knowledge Questionnaire' developed by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and chi-square test in paired groups were used. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 18.98±1.46 years, 56.7% were female and 65 of them (97%) were single. In the post-training period, the correct response rates of the students to the questions related to first aid increased. The highest increases in the correct response rates were observed in the answers given to questions related to bleeding, loss of consciousness disorders, fractures, burns and sprains (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, students who receive first aid training will act more calmly and confidently in emergency situations and intervene correctly. Therefore, first aid training should be compulsory in the curricula of dental faculties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Meta-analysis is a statistical method that allows reaching a general conclusion by combining the results of studies. In dentistry, universal adhesives can be used in two application modes: etch&rinse and self-etch. However, there are no definitive results regarding which application technique universal adhesives are more successful. The study aimed to provide information about the meta-analysis and to make a meta-analysis application on the clinical performance of universal adhesives. Material and Method: Fifteen studies evaluating the clinical performance of universal adhesives with modified USPHS criteria were selected as material according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 29.0 package program. The Egger regression test and funnel plot were used to estimate publication bias. The heterogeneity was evaluated using Cohran's Q test and I2 statistics. The fixed effect model was used in general effect size calculations because there was no heterogeneity. Results: It was determined that there was no publication bias among the studies included in the meta-analysis (p>0.05). The heterogenicity was not detected (p>0.05). The average effect size for marginal coloration was 0.136 (p=0.790); 0.027 for marginal adaptation (p=0.958); 0.927 for retention (p=0.009); 0.091 for fracture (p=0.856); 0.204 for sensitivity (p=0.689); for caries, it was found to be 0.127 (p=0.803). Conclusions: It can be said that there is no difference between the use of universal adhesives in etch&rinse and self-etch application mode according to the criteria of marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, fracture, sensitivity, and caries. However, there is a difference according to the retention criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder with serious complications. Considering the association of untreated OSA with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, some types of cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, early diagnosis is clinically vital for this disease. Polysomnography (PSG) is the most definitive approach to detect OSA, but it requires expert technical service, is considered a costly procedure, and is not readily available. Thus, simpler and inexpensive screening tools are necessary. There is a growing interest in the use of portable home sleep apnea testing devices for the diagnosis of OSA in recent years, but the efficacy of evaluation and testing with these portable devices is still debatable. Considering the high cost of PSG, which is the most reliable method for OSA diagnosis, an approach with lower cost and high sensitivity to detect OSA is required. The head and neck region and oral cavity enclose clinical parameters associated with OSA, which may enable dental practitioners to play an important role in referring patients at risk of OSA to clinics for early diagnosis. In the present review, the risk factors of OSA are evaluated with clinical findings, many clinical and radiological parameters associated with OSA in the head and neck region are presented together with current literature information, and the auxiliary diagnostic methods that can be utilized by dental practitioners to determine the risk of OSA are presented.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of dentists working in a dental faculty in Türkiye about rational drug use. Methods: In this observational study, a 20-question questionnaire measuring participants' knowledge and attitudes towards rational drug use was administered face-to-face to 59 dentists working in a university hospital in Afyonkarahisar. The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS-20 program. Results: Fifty-two dentists (16 academics, and 36 research assistants) participated in the study (The participation rate was 89.65%). The most frequently used information sources by the participants while prescribing drugs were the internet (27.56%) and colleagues (24.35%), respectively. Allergic status and pregnancy status were the most frequently asked questions by the participants in the anamnesis of the patients while prescribing drugs (94.2%). approximately one-third (32.7%) of the dentists stated that they did not inform the patient about the "side effects of the drug". The subjects that the participants felt most inadequate about the drugs were price information, bioequivalence, drug interactions and side effects, respectively. 63.5% of the participants think that both the level of medical drug knowledge and the level of knowledge about rational drug use are insufficient. Conclusion: This study revealed the knowledge gaps and the need for training on rational drug use among dentists. to dentists. Rational pharmacotherapy training should be given to dentists before and after graduation. Keywords: Rational drug use; drug prescribing; survey; dentistry; dentist.

Introduction: Inappropriately prescribed antibiotics accelerate the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This circumstance creates a problematic situation in terms of public health. This study aims to measure dentists' antibiotic/prophylaxis knowledge and awareness of antibiotic resistance in Turkey based on two case scenarios. Materials Methods: Dentists in Turkey are invited by open invitation posts on various social media applications for our twelve-question online survey. The scoring was shaped based on answers to measure antibiotic/prophylaxis knowledge. The collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS Statistics 22. Results: 321 participants answered all questions included in the study. The statistical analyses showed a significant difference in the evaluations according to gender, title, graduation time, and workplace. Conclusion: Inappropriate antibiotic prescription by dentists is common in Turkey. Dentists should receive more undergraduate lessons, and taking reminder antibiotic courses at regular intervals after graduation can contribute to keeping their knowledge up to date.

Background: Oral health problems occur if the dry mouth of individuals is not controlled. However, their diet and quality of life are adversely affected. In this study, we aimed to find out the effects of radioactive iodine used on the submandibular glands and to what extent the function changes in the glands would be. Materials and Methods: Among the patients who applied to the nuclear medicine unit of the training and research hospital in 2022, patients who received high-dose (100 mCI RAI) RAI after total thyroidectomy due to differentiated thyroid cancer and were hospitalized in our clinic were included in our study. Among these patients, the salivary gland scintigraphies of those with dry mouth were removed from the system and the submandibular glands were examined. The obtained data were statistically evaluated in IBM SPSS 21.0 for windows program. Results: In this study, 15 patients who received 100 mCI were identified and the conditions of the submandibular glands were examined by scintigraphy. Dry mouth was observed in all of these patients. The function of the submandibular glands was found to be normal in 9 of 15 patients. In 6 patients, varying degrees of loss of f unction w ere d etected. Mann W hitney U t est a nd C hi-square (χ2) test analysis were used for the intergroup comparison of qualitative variables. Spearman correlation test was used to determine the relationships between the variables. The hypotheses were two-sided and a statistically significant result was accepted if p≤0.05. Conclusions: It was determined that dry mouth developed in patients who received high-dose Radioactive Iodine (RAI) 131 treatment for thyroid ca. In 6 of the patients, loss of function of the submandibular glands was observed. Recommendations were made to the patients regarding the symptoms occurring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Homeopathy is an alternative treatment approach that has been widely used for over 200 years. It is popularized as a safe and cost-effective alternative to allopathy. For a holistic approach, homeopathic remedies are used to improve not only patients' physical condition but also psychological or emotional condition. In dentistry, homeopathy has been used as an adjunct to conventional treatment since 18th century. Many studies indicate that the effect of homeopathic remedies is not different or superior to that of placebo. Institutions such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Drug Administration have not yet approved the ethics and safety of homeopathy as a treatment form. In recent years, regulations on homeopathy by many institutions have been increased, and its prevalence has been limited. Further clinical research is needed to elucidate whether homeopathic remedies can effectively treat conditions that appear to be linked to patients' spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical conditions, and whether this has a placebo effect. This review aimed to introduce the basics of homeopathy, which has been accepted as part of the Traditional and Complementary Medicine by the Turkish Ministry of Health as of 2016, and to discuss its possible applications in pediatric dental practice.

AMAÇ: Bu anket çalışmasının amacı Gazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde eğitim gören 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin pandemi dönemindeki mesleki deneyimleriyle ve mezuniyetlerinden sonraki planlarıyla ilgili geribildirimlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmanın örneklemi çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü, COVİD-19 pandemi döneminde diş hekimliği klinik staj eğitimine belli düzenlemelerle devam eden 4. ve 5. sınıfta eğitim gören 220 lisans öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Anket sorularında klinik staj eğitimi ile ilgili öğrencilerin görüşleri ve pandemi sürecinin; öğrencilerin klinik staj eğitimi sırasındaki hasta bakma deneyimlerine ve mezuniyet sonrasındaki planlarına etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analiz için Ki-Kare testi ve Fisher Freeman Halton Exact Ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Öğrencilerin % 59.1’i pandemi döneminde uygun şartlar sağlandığında hasta bakma imkanı verildiği için memnun olduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin % 55.5’i klinik staj eğitimi sırasında daha fazla sayıda hasta bakmak istediğini, % 55.5’i pandemi sürecinin; mezuniyetlerinden sonraki planlarında değişime sebep olduğunu ve % 60.5’i ise mezuniyetten sonra uzmanlık yapmak istediğini belirtmiştir. SONUÇ: Veriler, diş hekimliği 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin büyük çoğunluğunun klinik staj eğitimi sırasında fazla sayıda hasta bakılmasının eğitimleri açısından iyi olacağını düşündüklerini ve mezuniyetlerinden sonra uzmanlık eğitimi almak istediklerini göstermektedir. Bu veriler ışığında pandemi gibi olağanüstü durumlarda diş hekimliği gibi pratik eğitimin çok önemli olduğu bir meslek dalında eğitimin etkilenmemesi adına bazı düzenlemelerin yapılması düşünülebilir.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı iki farklı fakülte (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi ve Atatürk Üniversitesi) de eğitim gören öğrencilerin Restoratif Diş Tedavisi uzmanlığına ilişkin görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesinden 306 öğrenci ve Atatürk Üniversitesinden 428 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 734 öğrenci katıldı. Çalışmaya birinci sınıf öğrencileri dahil edilmedi. Öğrencilere demografik bilgileriyle ilgili, restoratif diş tedavisinin preklinik, klinik ve uzmanlık konularıyla ilgili ve diğer bölümlerle kıyaslanmasıyla ilgili sorular içeren 24 soruluk bir anketi doldurmaları istendi. Verilerin incelenmesinde tanımlayıcı ve frekans analizleri ve ki kare, bağımsız örneklem t testi, tek yönlü ANOVA testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin Restoratif Diş Tedavisini tercih ettikleri sıralama iki fakülte öğrenciler arasında farklılık göstermedi (p > 0.05). Ancak öğrencilerin okudukları dönem ile tercih sıralaması arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p < 0.05) ve dönem artıkça tercih sıralaması olumsuz etkileniyordu. Sonuç: Öğrenciler Restoratif Diş Tedavisi uzmanlığına kişisel olarak ilgi duysalar da maddi gelir nedeniyle üst sıralarda tercih etmemektedirler. Ayrıca fakülteler arasındaki çeşitli farklılıklarda Restoratif Diş Tedavisiyle ilgili görüşü olumlu ya da olumsuz olarak etkiler.

Objective: This study aimed to bibliometrically characterize the top 100 most cited (T100) dental articles about COVID-19. Materials and Method: In the present study, the Web of Science core collection database was used to identify the T100 dental articles on COVID-19 in the category of "Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine'' on May 19, 2021. Among the included top most cited articles, the following parameters were recorded and bibliometrically analyzed as article title, publication date, authorship, institution and country of origin, journals, with its impact factor (IF) and quartile, number of citations, study design, study topic, and level of evidence (LOE). Results: The mean citation count of the T100 dental articles on COVID-19 was 32.77 ± 97.31. The T100 dental articles were published in 43 different journals. The number of citations was positively correlated with journal IF (p
