    Objectives: To assess differential effects of different materials combined with allograft on bone-to-implant contact and newly formed bone formation in dental implants with coronal defects histomorphometrically. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 24 male New Zealand white rabbits. Dental implants (3.0 × 10 mm) were placed at the center of defects (9 mm diameter, 4 mm depth) created in the tibial bones of the rabbits. Graft (GF, n=8), graft + rifamycin (GR, n=8), and graft + black cumin oil via orogastric route (GB, n=8) were applied on the coronal aspects of the implants for 28 days. Undecalcified histomorphometric analyses were conducted on slides stained with toluidine blue. Results: Bone-to-implant contact was 46.57% ± 3.59% in the graft, 67.12% ± 3.64% in the graft+rifamycin, and 55.62% ± 4.37% in the graft+black cumin oil groups. The percentage of new bone formation at the defect area was 34.71% ± 4.11% in the graft, 55.37% ± 4.89% in the graft + rifamycin, and 45.75% ± 3.69% in the graft + black cumin oil groups. In terms of new bone formation and bone-to-implant contact, graft + rifamycin and graft + black cumin oil groups were significantly different from the graft group. The differences between the graft + rifamycin and graft + black cumin oil groups were also statistically significant. Conclusion: Allogreft + rifamycin and orogastric black cumin oil were found to have positive effects on bone healing at sites with coronal defects. Rifamycin showed significantly greater favorable effects on bone-to-implant contact and new bone formation compared to black cumin oil

    Since glass fiber reinforced composite (FRC) fixed partial dentures have aesthetic and economic superiorities, are easy to repair and require no preparation on sound teeth, they present an alternative treatment and advantage choice both for patient and the clinician. Today FGK restorations are becoming more popular with developing of the mechanical and esthetics characteristic since its introduction. FGK prosthesis can be fabricated either by a dental technician in the dental laboratuary or by a dentist in chairside. FGK restorations contain a fiber reinforced composite substructure and a special composite material covering it. When compared with metal substructures, their advantages are translucency, good adhesion, easy repair capability and non-corrosiveness. This case report describes treatment of a patient with unaesthetic appearance because of the maxillary missing left lateral and cross occlusion the maxillary left canin teeth using fiber reinforced composite resin-fixed partial denture. This treatment choice eliminated the longtime orthodontic treatment and preparation on sound teeth. ÖZET Günümüzde fiberle güçlendirilmiş kompozit (FGK) sabit parsiyel protezler estetik ve ekonomik olmaları, kolay tamir edilebilmeleri ve destek dişlerde fazla preperasyon gerektirmemeleri sayesinde hem hasta hem de hekim açısından alternatif ve avantajlı bir tedavi seçeneği sunmaktadır. FGK’ler geliştirilen mekanik ve estetik özellikleri ile daha popüler bir hale gelmiş ve FGK sistemlerin restoratif diş hekimliğinde kullanımları ilk üretildikleri günden bugüne artmıştır. FGK sabit parsiyel protezler, diş teknisyeni tarafından laboratuarda veya diş hekimi tarafından hasta başında hazırlanabilmektedirler. FGK sabit parsiyel protezler, fiberle güçlendirilmiş bir kompozit altyapıyı ve onu kaplayan özel kompozit materyalini içerirler. Metal alaşımlarla kıyaslandıklarında translüsent olmaları, iyi bağlanabilme özelliklerinin olması ve tamir edilebilmelerinin kolay olması yanında koroziv olmamaları gibi dişer avantajları da bulunmaktadır.

    In this study, the long-term suitability of the area proposals for winter recreation activities in the Sey-han Basin (Türkiye), which is located in the Mediterranean and Central Anatolia regions and includes alargepartoftheTaurusMountains,wereexaminedecologically.Forthispurpose,thepredictedglobal warming scenarios in the basin and the anthropogenic impacts arising from the planned rec-reation areas were evaluated for the upper basin (recreation areas) and lower basin (water resources, agricultural lands, and settlements) using a hypothetical risk analysis. For this purpose, multispectral images were obtained by using Landsat 8 Oli Multispectral images of the snow areas in the region in January-February-March 2019, and a hypothetical ecological risk analysis was created considering a total of 5 pressure factors originating from global climate change and anthropogenic effects. These possiblefactorsweredeterminedasflood(S1),drought(S2),sedimentation(S3),aquaticnutrients(S4), and tourist density (S5). The effects of these factors on a total of four features (C1: water quality, C2: fauna-flora, C3: agricultural areas, and C4: settlements) in the region were evaluated by hypothet-ical grading based on the literature. According to the hypothesis results obtained by the formula and statistical calculations, it was determined that the flood factor (S1) that will occur due to possible snow melt due to global climate change in the winter recreation areas in the studied region is the most significant factor limiting the sustainable usage of the Basin. For this reason, it has been emphasized in this study that the possibility of regions being exposed to the effects of climate change in the fu-ture should be taken into account, especially when planning for winter recreation areas. At the end of this study, it was concluded that the ecological balance analysis of basins is important, especially in terms of ensuring the long-term sustainable use of winter recreation areas

    The dominant industrial development model of presentday, based on a linear output process. During this period that lots of energy and resources are consumed, the production of waste is so much and the most of these waste can not be recycled. As a result of that, there is a rising of the environmental problems. Unlike the linear (take-make-waste) consumer model, nature trying to create completely non-waste/zero waste systems and it depends on the understanding of holistic system. To minimize the negative effects that produced by the built environment beyond the construction industry in terms of creating positive outcomes experienced the need for a paradigm shift occurs. In this context, the general aim of the study is trying to exhibit the understanding of the processes that occur in nature and how to take advantages from these process in construction industry. As a working method, natural environment and construction industries are analyzed comperatively in terms of use of materials and waste management. With a comparative study it is tried to understand that, how today's construction industry and natural processes have different points, and also what is necessaried by approach based on nature and how it is applied on building and building environment
