Diş Eti Fenotipi ve Diş Hekimliğinde Oynadığı Rol

Diş eti taşıdığı kendine has özellikleri ile oral yapının önemli temel yapı taşlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Literatür incelendiğinde diş eti fenotipinin farklı şekillerde tanımlandığı görülmektedir. Her tanımlamanın kendine has özellikleri ve kendine has avantaj ve dezavantajları vardır. Bu tanımlama girişimsel ve girişimsel olmayan yöntemler ile yapılmaktadır. Klinikte izlenen diş eti yapısının beraberinde getirdiği olumlu-olumsuz yönleri bulunmaktadır. Diş eti yapısı; yaş, cinsiyet, alveoler kemik yapısı, diş yapısı, yüz yapısı, ortodontik durumlar gibi durumlarda değişiklik göstermektedir. Ama halen birçok konuda ve terminolojide bir görüş birliği sağlanamamıştır. Periodontal, restoratif, protetik ve implant uygulamalarında diş eti yapısı önem kazanmaktadır. Bu derlemede diş eti fenotipi tartışılacak olup, fenotipin klinik uygulamalarda oynadığı rol üzerinde durulacaktır

Effect of sumac extract on serum oxidative status, RANKL/OPG system and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats

Objectives Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) is widely used spice which has several properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. The purpose of this animal study was to evaluate the effects of sumac extract on levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression, serum oxidative status, and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis. Material and Methods Twenty-four Wistar rats were separated into three groups: non-ligated (NL, n=8), ligature only (LO, n=8), and ligature and treated with sumac extract (S, n=8) (20 mg/kg per day for 11 days). A 4/0 silk suture was placed around the mandibular right first molars subgingivally; after 11 days, the rats were sacrificed, and alveolar bone loss was histometrically measured. The detection of RANKL and OPG were immunohistochemically performed. Levels of serum total antioxidant status (TAS)/total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were also analyzed. Results Alveolar bone loss was significantly greater in the LO group compared to the S and NL groups (

Determination of Internet and Digital Game Addiction Level of Students According to the Opinions of Parents, Teachers and Students

Due to the effect of COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technology and internet has taken place widely in all areas of life of individuals and provided positive benefits to individuals in various fields. Although the use of internet and technology provides many benefits, spending excessive time on internet due to the pandemic conditions has detrimental effects such as internet addiction that has been wide-spreading in human life. In this context, in this study, it has been tried to determine the digital game addiction levels of the students, which has become prevalent with the internet and internet addiction. 66 parents, 207 teachers, and 978 students participated in this study in which a mixed research method was used. The results acquired through the research demonstrate that the students are addicted to internet and digital games. The majority of the participant parents state that their children spend 3 hours or more on the internet a day with the purpose of playing games. Parents state that they have concerns whether their children are aware of the internet safety risks and they feel discomfort with the time their children spend on internet. Similarly, the majority of teachers participating in the research believe that students are addicted to digital games. Another result obtained from the research is that the majority of the participant students spend 3 hours or more a day, especially for playing digital games. However, contrary to their teachers and parents, students do not consider themselves as internet and game addicts.</p

Conversion in Turkish : an overview

This paper presents an overview of possible cases of conversion in Turkish. I argue that apparent cases of conversion between nouns and adjectives are cases of syntactic transposition, and apparent cases of conversion between nouns/adjectives and verbs are end products of phonological changes in the history of the language, which resulted in pairs of lexemes that are formally identical synchronically, but not historically. This does not mean that no cases of morphological conversion can be traced in the language. I will present two cases of secondary word-class conversion from derived, inflected and uninflected words to toponyms which might be taken as instances of morphological conversion or derivation by zero-affixation
