    Dyskeratosis congenita: clinical report and review of the literature
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010) Baran, I.; Nalcaci, R.; Kocak, M.
    Dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is an inherited disorder that usually presents in males, consisting of the triad of leukoplakia of the mucous membranes, nails dystrophy and skin pigmentation. Oral and dental abnormalities may also be present. Most cases are X-linked autosomal dominant, but recessive forms have also been reported. This study describes herein a case in which the classic triad of signs was present, along with the development of leukoplakia in the buccal mucosa. Our patient, a 25-year-old man, presented with several characteristic systemic features of this condition, together with the following oral features: hypodontia, delayed dental eruption, short blunt roots, extensive caries, gingival inflammation and bleeding, loss of alveolar bone and buccal mucosa with leukoplakia and irregular ulcers. The patient was given full preventive care. The primary teeth were extracted under local anaesthesia. After establishing optimal oral health, oral hygiene instructions were given to the patient and he was rehabilitated with fixed and removable partial denture. Prosthetic treatments were carried out after establishing optimal oral health. This treatment option appears beneficial in this patient, resulting in rehabilitation of occlusion and less mechanical irritation to the oral mucosa.

    IL-6 and IL-8 levels in GCF of the teeth supporting fixed partial denture
    (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010) Erdemir, E. O.; Baran, I.; Nalcaci, R.; Apan, T.
    Objectives: To evaluate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the clinical parameters of the teeth supporting fixed partial denture (FPD) and the contralateral teeth and to assess the effect of scaling and root planning (SRP) on clinical parameters and the GCF levels of cytokines. Materials and methods: The study population included 23 patients. Probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI) were recorded, and GCF samples were collected for analysis of cytokine levels from the teeth with FPD (Test Group), the contralateral teeth (Control Group) of each participant at baseline. After initial measurements, all participants received primary phase of non-surgical treatment including oral hygiene instruction and scaling and root planning (SRP). At the 1st month and the 3rd month after SRP, these procedures were repeated. Results: In both groups, all clinical parameters and the total amount of IL-8 showed decreases from initial to the 3rd month (P < 0.05), but from the 1st month to the 3rd month; PD, PI, and GI values significantly increased in the test group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The non-surgical periodontal treatment reduced the total amount of IL-8, not IL-6, and the clinical parameters of the teeth with FPD and contralateral teeth. But, there was a trend to the higher levels of PD, PI, and GI in the teeth with FPD. Therefore, a regular program for dental prophylaxis is also important for the maintenance of periodontal health in patients with FPD.
