The purpose of this study was to evaluate the brushing effect on Vickers microhardness of acrylic denture base resins polymerized by different techniques. Material and Methods: One hundred disk-shaped specimens (15 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick) were fabricated from each acrylic resin (Integra and FuturaJet). Five different polymerization techniques were tested (n=20): conventional water-bath polymerization, short autoclave polymerization (60°C for 30 minutes, then 130°C for 10 minutes), long autoclave polymerization (60°C for 30 minutes, then 130°C for 20 minutes), injection-molding polymerization and auto-polymerization. Half of the specimens were subjected to simulated brushing in an automatic brushing machine using 54 000 brush strokes for each specimen. All specimens were then submitted to Vickers hardness test with a 300-g load for 15 s. Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test were used for results analysis, which were statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between the control and brushing groups in all polymerization techniques (p < 0.05). Autopolymerized acrylic resin group showed significantly lower microhardness values than water bath, short and long autoclave polymerized resins in control and brushing groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Autopolymerization technique might has some disadvantages on avoid adverse effects of brushing on the microhardness, therefore tehniques of polymerization should be considered as microhardness of acrylic denture base resins.","PeriodicalId":10781,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Dental Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three images (I) were taken on the same day respectively with dentures completed by conventional technique (I1), dentures completed by neutral zone technique (I2), and with no dentures (I3). Superimposition of the images were evaluated. The cephalometric soft tissue measurements of the present case showed that upper and lower lips were positioned anteriorly in both conventional (L1) and neutral zone techniques (L2) on sagittal plane. These results could be attributed to the fact that the placement of the prosthesis in mouth helps directing lip position with big linear measurements. Volumetric difference between conventional (I1) and no denture (I3) images was more pronounced compared to neutral zone (I2) superposition with no denture (I3).","PeriodicalId":10781,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Dental Journal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: 4 different color adjustment composites and 1 nano hybrid composite are divided into 5 main groups according to their contents. A total of 120 disc-shaped specimens (8 x 2 mm) were prepared, 24 in each group. The prepared samples were sequentially kept in solutions (tea, coffee and cherry juice) for 12 days and randomly divided into 3 subgroups (n=8). Subgroup 1, brushing with distilled water; Subgroup 2, brushing with whitening toothpaste; Subgroup 3, home bleaching agent were applied (14 days). Color measurements were made with a spectrophotometer, ΔE values were calculated using the CIELAB formula. Surface roughness values were made using a profilometer device. Samples from each group were selected for SEM surface analysis. Results: Among the composite groups, the highest coloration was observed in the Omnichroma, while the lowest ΔE values were observed in the Vittra composite group. Although the ΔE values on the 14th day were higher than the 7th day in all groups, the differences between them were statistically insignificant(p>0.05) In all composite groups (except Omnichroma), the ΔE values of brushing with whitening toothpaste at the end of the 14th day were higher than brushing with distilled water(p<0.05). Conclusions: Although the application of home bleaching agent was found to be more effective in a short time in whitening color-adjustment composites; brushing with whitening toothpaste at the end of the 14th day was found to be as effective as the application of home bleaching agent.

This study therefore aimed to evaluate the content and information quality of Instagram® posts about teeth whitening. Materials and Methods; The first 100 posts were included in the three search periods, which started in October 2022 and were carried out at two-week intervals. (n=300) The #teethwhitening hashtag, which was determined as a trend topic in each search period, was used. The content of the posts was analyzed over eight questions, whereas their general information quality was analyzed according to the modified DISCERN analysis on seven questions. The demographic data of the posts were evaluated in two parts: a) account and b) data of the post. The distribution of the user questions and other (#) hashtags mentioned in the posts were also analyzed. Results; 191 posts were excluded from the research. 42% (n=46) of the posts had “low” information content. In addition, the mean value of the content was 2.77 (min 0, max 8/n=109). The mean score in the modified DISCERN score was 11.83 (min 7, max 35/n=109). 53% (n= 57) of the posts were related either to prosthetic treatments alone or to combined treatments that included prosthetic procedures. Most of the posts mentioned the hashtag \"#veneer/s\". Questions such as cost, duration of treatment, and appointment procedures were also asked as comments under the posts. Conclusion; It can be stated that the content and information quality of Instagram® posts about #teethwhitening are insufficient and may direct patients to more interventional invasive treatment options.","PeriodicalId":10781,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Dental Journal","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
