In individuals with skeletal Class I malocclusion, skeletal Class II malocclusion due to mandibular insufficiency, and skeletal Class III malocclusion due to mandibular excess, measurements of frontal sinus length and height as well as S-N, Co-A and Co- Gn lengths, ANB0, FMA0, SN-GoGn0 angles values were performed. The length between the highest point and the lowest point of the frontal sinus was calculated as the height of the frontal sinus, and the length between the most anterior and the most posterior points of the frontal sinus was calculated as the length of the frontal sinus.Results: The frontal sinus length and height were found to be higher in skeletal Class III individuals than in skeletal Class I and skeletal Class II individuals, however, there was no significant difference between skeletal Class I and Class II individuals.Conclusion: The increase in frontal sinus height and length correlated positively with the decrease in the ANB angle and the increase in the SN and Co-Gn lengths. The dimensions of the frontal sinus may be an indicator for the remaining mandibular growth potential.","PeriodicalId":41993,"journal":{"name":"European Oral Research","volume":"56 3","pages":"130-135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9826703/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9103299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, chi-square, Student's t-test and ANOVA and Odds ratio methods were used.Results: In this cross-sectional study, 66% of the group were female, age range was 18-30 (mean±SD= 21.2 ± 1.7). The most common reasons for choosing dentistry were \"financial benefits\", \"job security\" and \"professional status\". \"Undertake specialist training\" (80.2%) was the most common short-term expectation after graduation; two most common long-term expectations were \"having a private clinic\" (57.9%) and \"completing specialization training\" (56.0%). The most important factors affecting the post-graduation working plans were work-life balance and economic stability.Conclusion: It is recommended to provide adequate counseling and guidance to students about potential career paths to maximize a balanced and widely accessible oral health service delivery across the country with more motivated dentists. Qualitative research may improve our understanding of how dental education can be improved to fulfill students' expectations from school, and to motivate dental students towards general practitioning in the future.","PeriodicalId":41993,"journal":{"name":"European Oral Research","volume":"56 2","pages":"88-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/b1/a6/eor-056-088.PMC9377771.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40637179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This invitro study was done to assess the effect of reinforcement with nanoparticles of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), zirconium oxide (ZrO2) and its mixture on flexural strength of polymethylmeythacrylate resin.Materials and methods: A total of 60 acrylic resin specimens measuring 65 mm × 10 mm × 2.5 mm were fabricated. The specimens were divided in to fifteen specimens in each group [control group (C), 3wt% PEEK group (P), 3wt% zirconia group (Z), and hybrid reinforcement of 1.5wt% PEEK and 1.5wt% ZrO2 group (P-Z)]. The flexural strength of the specimens was evaluated using a three-point bending test on a universal testing machine. The statistical analysis was done using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the intergroup comparison was done using Tukey's post hoc analysis.Results: The mean flexural strength was maximum in group P-Z (98.73MPa) followed by group P (86.22 MPa) and group Z (84.48 MPa). The mean flexural strength was least in the control group (74.86MPa). One-way ANOVA revealed a highly significant (P<0.01) difference among the groups. Pairwise comparison among groups showed a significant difference (P<0.05) among all the groups except in between groups P and Z where no significant difference was found (P=0.406).Conclusion: Hybrid reinforced PEEK and zirconia could be used as an effective reinforcement material for denture base resin. The hybrid PEEK and zirconia reinforced resin can be an alternative treatment option in patients with heavy occlusal forces and for patients who have previous experience of multiple denture fractures.","PeriodicalId":41993,"journal":{"name":"European Oral Research","volume":"56 2","pages":"61-66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d5/53/eor-056-061.PMC9377774.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40653158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After evaluation with the sleep monitor, an improvement of sleep-breathing was found in children from the activator group (p<0.05).Conclusion: The activator not only provides a harmonious occlusion and proper development of the mandible, but it also helps improve the quality of sleep-breathing through widening of the upper airway and reducing the number of disordered breathing events in children that undergo this therapy.","PeriodicalId":41993,"journal":{"name":"European Oral Research","volume":"56 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/36/ab/eor-056-001.PMC9012217.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10596273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
