    Anatomical variations of the lateral pterygoid plate and their implications for temporomandibular disorders: A CBCT study
    (Elsevier, 2024) Eberlikose, Hacer; Ozturk, Kubra; Akyol, Ridvan; Bilecenoglu, Burak
    Objective: TMD is a multifaceted condition with various contributing factors, but the actual impact of the lateral pterygoid plate on the development of TMD remains uncertain. This research aims to investigate the relationship between anatomical variations of the lateral pterygoid plate (LPP), including its angle and proximity to the condyle, and the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic approaches for TMD. Materials & Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 189 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of individuals aged 18 to 45. Inclusion criteria were based on definitive diagnoses of degenerative joint disease, excluding individuals with orthodontic treatments, injuries, or craniofacial disorders.Participants were divided into TMD and control groups using standardized DC/TMD protocols for assessment. A radiologist, blinded to the patient's clinical status, then analyzed the CBCT images. LPP dimensions, angles, and condyle distances were measured using OnDemand 3D Imaging Software. Results: The study found a statistically significant higher average LPP length in females compared to males (right LPP p < 0,001, left LPP p = 0,004), with no significant differences in LPP-condyle distances and angles between genders. Comparing the TMD and control groups revealed a positive correlation between lateral plate angles and TMJ disorders (p = 0,044), suggesting a potential biomechanical linkage. Conclusion: Conclusively, the study challenges the assumption that LPP anatomical variations significantly impact TMD while underscoring a potential link between LPP angle and TMD. The novel insight into the potential role of the LPP angle in TMD provides a new direction for research and clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of considering subtle anatomical differences in the management of TMD.

    Peri-implant bone microstructural analysis and comparison of resonance frequency analysis before prosthetic placement: a retrospective study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Ozturk, Kubra; Kis, Hatice Cansu
    Objectives Fractal analysis is a mathematical method used for the calculation of bone trabeculation and lacunarity. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and fractal dimension (FD) of peri-implant bone to determine the preload stability of implants. Materials and methods In this study, the results of the fractal analysis calculated from the resonance frequency analysis results taken in the 3rd month of the patients who underwent 2-stage implant by the same doctor and the radiographs taken in the same session were evaluated. A hundred implants in 20 patients were applied in this study. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of the implants and fractal dimension values of the peri-implant bone were calculated. Results The findings showed that the ISQ1 (p = 0.008), ISQ2 (p = 0.038), R012 (p = 0.013), and R013 (p < 0.001) values were statistically significantly higher in men than women. The ISQ1 (p = 0.003), ISQ2 (p = 0.013), ROIL (p = 0.011), and R013 (p < 0.001) of the mandible were statistically higher than the maxilla. The fractal dimension cut-off value to assess prosthetic loading was found 1.198. Conclusion Fractal analysis is a non-invasive method that can be used in conjunction with clinical examination in the prosthetic loading decision of implants. It is a valuable parameter that can be used without the need for an extra device when it is necessary to reduce the clinical study time.

    The effect of temporomandibular joint dysfunction on the craniocervical mandibular system: A retrospective study
    (Wiley, 2024) Ozturk, Kubra; Danisman, Hikmetnur; Akkoca, Fatma
    Background: Temporomandibular disorders are the most common condition affecting the orofacial region, resulting in pain and dysfunction.Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the ambiguous association between cervical features and temporomandibular disorders by measuring the rotations between the skull-atlas, atlas-axis and mandible-atlas and examining the relationship between these rotations and temporomandibular disorders.Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from 176 patients, 97 females and 79 males with an average age of 25.7 years were used in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: those with joint dysfunction (n = 88) and those without (n = 88). The study employed various methods to determine rotations in the skull-atlas, atlas-axis and mandible atlas based on anatomical landmarks and measurements. These methods include the use of specific planes, angles and distances to identify and measure rotation. Data analysis was performed using the TURCOSA statistical software (Turcosa Analytics Ltd Co, Turkey, www.turcosa.com.tr).Results: The results showed that the degree of rotation between the skull and the atlas was higher in the TMD group than in the control group (p < .001). Similarly, Atlas-axis rotation was significantly higher in the TMD group (p < .001). However, no significant difference was found between mandible atlas rotations in the two groups (p = .546). The study also found a significant difference between the direction of rotation between the atlas and axis and the direction of mandible atlas rotation (p < .001) as well as between skull and atlas rotations and mandible-atlas rotations (p < .001).Conclusion: Overall, the study suggests that there is a relationship between the skeletal structures of the cranio-cervico-mandibular system and TMD. Skull-atlas and atlas-axis rotations may play an important role in the aetiology of TMD in individuals with TMD. Therefore, it is important to evaluate rotations in the skull-atlas-axis region for the treatment of TMD.
