Öğe Preparation of the abutment teeth for removable partial dentures(Springer International Publishing, 2024) Ateş, MuzafferOne of the important steps of the mouth preparation is the preparation of the abutment teeth. Before starting preparations, the dentist should make sure that the other stages of the mouth preparation are completed. Usually, tooth decay and periodontal destruction on the abutment teeth of removable partial denture (RPD) wearers are observed. However, studies show that a well-planned removable denture does not cause any damage to the abutment teeth and the periodontal tissues. Actually, the space between the denture and the supporting teeth is a favorable place for food retention. Therefore, dentists claim that the patients are also responsible for tooth loss since they do not pay enough attention to their oral hygiene. Although this assertion may hold true in many instances, should the dentist not be held accountable if they fail to take appropriate precautions? This chapter focuses on providing the necessary information to the dentist who will fabricate the RPD regarding the preparation of supporting teeth.Öğe Oral health during pregnancy and the lactation(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Çukurova Yılmaz, Zeynep; Altaş, NurcanOral health is an integral part of overall health, and its deterioration negatively affects the general health and the quality of human life. Therefore, the relationship between pregnancy and oral health has been frequently investigated, and possible mechanisms are discussed. The purpose of this chapter is to briefly discuss this relationship and shed light on the importance of preserving oral health during pregnancy.Öğe Conductive hearing loss associated with dentofacial deformities and orthodontic treatment modalities(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2011) Oktay, Hüsamettin; Kılıç, NihatThe stomatognathic system consists of mouth, teeth, upper respiratory tract, pharynx, and other structures related with mastication, deglutition, respiration and speech. This system consists of 27 bones including maxilla and mandible which constitute two main skeletal parts of face. Congenital and/or developmental disorders in any hard and/or soft tissues of stomatognathic system and/or functional aberrations will affect the other components of this system. The stabilization of various parts of the stomatognathic system together with its functional and anatomic integrity has been the center of interest among orthodontists for years. It has been documented in clinical and experimental studies that a close relationship exists between respiratory disturbances and dentofacial growth and development. Mouth breathing leads to develop some pathologic adaptations in postural and morphological characteristics of the stomatognathic system, and these abnormal habits cause serious negative effects on the normal development of nasomaxillary and dentofacial structures during the growth period. Maxillary deficiency or constriction of the maxillary dental arch, concomitant with a high palatal vault, is one of the most common orthodontic problems seen in the maxillofacial region. Main orthodontic manifestations of this skeletal development syndrome are palatal constriction and deficiency, deep palatal vault, narrowed maxillary arch, and posterior crossbite. Simultaneous presence of this syndrome and abnormal breathing pattern can lead to serious problems such as obstructive sleep apnea, recurrent otitis media, and conductive hearing loss related with Eustachian tube dysfunctions. Congenital deformities such as cleft lip and palate are also serious problems seen in dentofacial region. The cleft patients generally have posterior crossbite, narrowed maxillary arch, deep palatal vault, abnormal breathing pattern, increased nasopharyngeal and middle ear infections as well as Eustachian tube dysfunctions, which cause conductive hearing loss. This chapter aims to evaluate conductive hearing loss associated with dentofacial deformities including the skeletal development syndrome and cleft lip and palate. The present chapter will also assess the effects of dentofacial orthodontic/orthopedic treatment procedures such as semi-rapid or rapid maxillary expansions on conductive.
