Öğe Case Report of a Patient with Different Types of Calcifications in the Head and Neck Region(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2024) Ertas, G.; Aydogdu, M.; Adisen, M. Z.The deposition of calcium minerals in soft tissue leads to soft tissue calcification or ossification. Calcifications observed in the head and neck region are usually asymptomatic and are detected by chance during routine radiographic examinations. It is essential to identify and differentially diagnose these calcifications to determine appropriate treatment and identify any underlying systemic diseases that may be responsible. Conventional radiographs and advanced imaging techniques can be utilized to locate the calcifications and evaluate their local relationships with anatomical structures. Panoramic radiography is useful in detecting calcifications in the head and neck region but may be insufficient due to several limitations. This unique case report focuses on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of a patient with six different types of calcifications incidentally detected in the head and neck region during a dental examination. Localizations, similarities, and differences in calcification types were evaluated by 3D imaging.Öğe Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia in a dental hospital; report of a case with severe gingival hypertrophy(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2015) Misirlioglu, M.; Adisen, M. Z.; Yilmaz, S.Acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) are aggressive hematopoietic neoplasms that, if untreated, can lead to death within days. Owing to its high morbidity rate, early diagnosis and appropriate medical therapy is essential. Oral lesions may be the presenting feature of acute leukemias and are, therefore, important diagnostic indicators of the disease. Erythematous or cyanotic gingival hyperplasia with or without necrosis is reported to be the most consistent symptom leading to a diagnosis of acute leukemia that directs the patient to seek early dental consultation. This report refers to a patient with AML that was provisionally diagnosed in the dental hospital due to severe gingival enlargements.Öğe The Importance of Early Diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome in Dental Examination(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2018) Adisen, M. Z.; Okkesim, A.; Misirlioglu, M.Gardner syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder. Dentists play an important role in diagnosis considering that craniomaxillofacial osteomas are a major criteria for GS. We report a 26-year-old male patient who referred to our department with toothache. On routine panoramic radiographic examination, multiple radiopaque masses were detected incidentally. In addition, on extraoral examination, a soft tissue tumor was detected on his shoulder. The patient was referred to the gastroenterology department and intestinal polyps were detected in the colon. Histopathology report revealed malignant changes in the intestinal polyps. Early colectomy, which is a life-saving operation, was possible because of our early diagnosis.Öğe A possible association between medial depression of mandibular ramus and maximum bite force(Via Medica, 2018) Adisen, M. Z.; Okkesim, A.; Misirlioglu, M.Background: Medial depression of the mandibular ramus (MDMR) is an anatomical depression with unknown aetiology and described as a result of a slender mandibular ramus in the area of the mandibular notch. It is suggested that MDMR may be due to variations in muscle functions. The aim of this study is to compare the bite force of patients with and without MDMR detected on panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods: One hundred and ten patients (55 women and 55 men; mean age 22.69 +/- 2.85 years) participated in this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of MDMR. Bite force of 55 patients with MRMD and 55 patients without MDMR were determined using a bite force sensor. Non-parametric tests were used to assess differences between groups. Results: Measurements showed statistically significant differences in bite force between genders (p = 0.00) with men having higher values (535.98 +/- 187.85 N) than women (363.59 +/- 139.56 N). The mean bite force in the sides with and without MDMR was 538.19 +/- 196.94 N and 396.22 +/- 157.69 N, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between groups with and without MDMR (p = 0.00). There was no statistically significant difference in bite force between groups according to Angle's classification (p = 0.581). Conclusions: This study suggests that the presence of MDMR may be an indicator of high muscle activity. Patients with MDMR should be carefully examined for the risk of relapse prior to any surgical intervention.
