Evaluation of Airway Volume in Cleft Lip and Palate Following Nasoalveolar Molding
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018) Astani, Seyed Amirhossein; Yilmaz, Hanife Nuray; Nevzatoglu, Sirin; Demirkaya, Arzu Ari; Acar, Zeynep Ahu; Ortodonti / Orthodontics
Patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) have commonly reduced nasal airways and are more prone to snoring, mouth breathing and hypopnea during sleep. Therefore, the morphometric evaluation of pharyngeal airway in patients with CLP is crucial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharyngeal airway volumes of patients with CLP who underwent nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and to compare them with a well-matched control group without NAM. The study consisted of 40 patients with CLP divided into 2 main groups (26 with NAM; 14 without NAM) and 4 subgroups (15 unilateral CLP [UCLP] with NAM, mean age: 10.13 +/- 1.30 years; 11 bilateral CLP [BCLP] with NAM, mean age: 10.55 +/- 1.51 years; 7 UCLP without NAM, mean age: 9.86 +/- 1.68 years; 7 BCLP without NAM, mean age: 10.28 +/- 1.89 years). Nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and total airway volumes of all the patients were calculated 3-dimensionally with cone-beam computed tomography. There were statistically significant differences in nasopharyngeal volume (P< 0.05) of NAM group compared to control group; however, volumetric differences in oropharyngeal and total pharyngeal airway were not significant (P> 0.05). The amount of nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and total pharyngeal airway size in the BCLP with NAM group was significantly larger compared to BCLP without NAM group (P< 0.05). However, UCLP did not show any significant difference in NAM group (P> 0.05). This study implies that NAM can effectively enlarge the nasopharyngeal airway size in patient with CLP. In addition, the pharyngeal airway volume enlargement is more apparent in BCLP than UCLP individuals.

Evaluation of Internet Information about Lingual Orthodontics Using DISCERN and JAMA Tools
(Aves, 2018) Olkun, Hatice Kubra; Demirkaya, Arzu Ari; Ortodonti / Orthodontics
Objective: To investigate the quality and reliability of websites providing information about lingual orthodontics in Turkish. Methods: An internet search was conducted on March 6th, 2017, using popular search engines in Turkey: Google (TM), bing (TM), YAHOO !(R), and yandex (R) for the keywords "lingual ortodonti, gorunmeyen braketler, and gorunmeyen teller". The top 10 websites for each keyword and search engine were examined, and duplicates, irrelevant websites, websites showing scientific articles, and orthodontic supplies market sites were excluded. The remaining 58 sites were assessed using the DISCERN instrument and JAMA benchmarks. Results: The authors of the remaining sites were orthodontists (48%) and dentists (5%), while 46% of the websites did not state author names. Ninety-one percent lacked references, and 87% lacked a date. Only 30% were balanced and unbiased.The mean overall DISCERN score was very poor (43%) or poor (40%). Of the 58 websites, 48% (28 sites) met authorship, 7% ] sites) attribution, 71% (41 sites) disclosed website ownership, and 3% (2) currency benchmarks of ]. Conclusion: Information on the internet related to lingual orthodontics is poor. Clinicians should warn patients that information on the internet about lingual orthodontics might be inadequate, and they should direct patients to higher-quality websites.

The quality of Internet information on lingual orthodontics in the English language, with DISCERN and JAMA
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019) Olkun, Hatice Kubra; Demirkaya, Arzu Ari; Aras, Banu; Ortodonti / Orthodontics
Objectives: This study investigated the quality of Internet information in the English language about lingual orthodontics. Design: A cross-sectional study Materials and Methods: An Internet search using the keywords 'lingual orthodontics', 'lingual braces', 'lingual treatment' and 'lingual brackets' was conducted on the four most popular search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing and AOL) on 4 February 2017. The first 10 websites for each keyword and search engine were screened. After excluding duplicates and irrelevant websites, the remaining were assessed using the DISCERN tool and JAMA benchmarks. Results: Of the original 160 websites found, 132 were excluded (102 duplicates, 30 unrelated). The authors of the remaining 28 websites were orthodontists (39.2%), professional organisations (21%), unspecified (17.8%), dentists (7.1%), dental hygienists (7.1%) and patients (7.1%). The mean overall DISCERN score for the 28 websites was poor (36.3). Only 1/28 websites met all four principles of JAMA, four websites met three criteria, 10 websites met two criteria and 13 websites met one criterion. Conclusion: Online information on lingual orthodontics was of poor quality; moreover, unbiased and balanced information was rare. Orthodontists should be aware that the average quality of information on the Internet about lingual orthodontics might be inadequate and should direct patients to higher-quality websites.
