    Dens evaginatus on maxillary first premolar: Report of a rare clinical case
    (2012) Çolak H.; Aylikçi B.U.; Keklik H.
    Dens evaginatus (DE) is an odontogenic developmental anomaly that can be defined as a tubercle or protuberance from the involved surface of the affected tooth consisting of an outer layer of enamel, a core of dentin, and may contain a slender extension of pulp tissue. Early diagnosis and management of DE is important in order to prevent occlusal interference, compromised esthetics, carious developmental grooves, periodontal problems due to excessive occlusal forces, or irritation of the tongue during speech and mastication. DE usually affects the mandibular second premolars as an accessory cusp or a protuberance between the buccal and lingual cusps. Reports of DE on maxillary premolar are rare in the literature. We report one such extremely rare case of DE on maxillary first premolar.

    Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome knowledge among high school students in Kirikkale province of Turkey
    (2013) Aylikçi B.U.; Bamise C.T.; Hamidi M.M.; Turkal M.; Çolak H.
    Background: The purpose of the present study was to assess the existing level of knowledge of high school children about human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and the sources of their information. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in two high schools in Kirikkale, Turkey and data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to obtain a representative sample. Results: Four hundred and seventy three participants; 230 males and 243 females were analyzed. Their ages ranged from 15 to 19 years with a mean age of 16.81 ± 1.27. 92.2% of the students claimed to have heard about HIV/AIDS prior to the study with slightly more females than males. Although with some misconceptions, majority of the participants knew that HIV is not transmitted by sharing meals, casual contact, and sleeping in the same room and using the same bathroom. 93.4% identified HIV/AIDS as a life-threatening disease and 27% believe that there is a cure for AIDS. 64% and 22.8% respectively believed that the people can protect themselves by using condoms and by avoiding sexual contact. Internet was preponderantly claimed as the most important source of information about HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: Empirical evidence from this study suggests that the students have a fairly high knowledge of HIV/AIDS. This is not without some misconceptions about the prognosis of the disease. Internet was the major source of HIV/AIDS information.

    One-year clinical evaluation of Quixfil and Gradia Direct composite restorative materials in posterior teeth.
    (2013) Doğan D.; Ercan E.; Hamidi M.M.; Aylikçi B.U.; Colak H.
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the 12 month clinical performances of two different posterior composites in Class I and Class II restorations. Class I and class II cavities of 62 patients, 74 Quixfil (Dentsply/ Xeno V) and 68 Gradia Direct (GC America/G bond) composite restorations were placed by two dentists. Only small and medium-sized cavities were included in the study. Independent evaluations were performed at baseline (one week), after three months, six months, and one year, by one trained examiner using the modified U.S. Public Health Service rating criteria. Color match, marginal integrity, anatomical form, surface roughness, marginal or interfacial staining, postoperative sensitivity, and secondary caries were evaluated. Both restorative materials showed only minor changes, and no differences were detected between their performance at baseline and after 12 months. Postoperative sensitivity was observed in only one Quixfil restoration. In regard to the clinical performance, there was no statistically significant difference between the materials used. Both materials showed good clinical results with dominant alpha scores at the end of 12 months.
