Öğe A technique for fabricating single screw-retained ımplant-supported ınterim restoration by using the crown of extracted tooth(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Üşümez, AslıhanAt the esthetic anterior region, horizontal root fracture is a complex and subversive situation for both the patient and dental practitioner. Due to enabling rapid prosthetic rehabilitation, decreasing treatment time, morbidity and the number of surgical procedures required, immediate implantation of a single implant may be a more preferable treatment option. In the presenting treatment modality, a single implant-supported provisional crown was produced right after extraction and implant placement surgery, using the patients extracted tooth crown. The use of the crown part has substantially fulfılled the patient’s expectations both aesthetically and psychologically. Besides fixed provisional crown restoration advanced biologically and esthetically convenient soft tissue emergence for the permanent restoration.Öğe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Nigeria: the ımpact on age and sex distributions(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Abulude, Francis Olawale; Abulude, Ifeoluwa AyodejiThe paper was on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic of Nigeria as well as the effect on age and sex distributions. The assessment of this particular effort was based on the data generated on confirmed deaths, and active cases by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) between February and June 2020. The information as of June 2020, revealed that the death cases was 506, even though the confirmed active cases figure was 19808. The confirmed cases for the states followed this particular order: Lagos, FCT, Kano, Rivers, and down to Kogi (probably the least figure recorded), while death rates followed this order: Lagos, FCT, Edo, Oyo, and down to Adamawa State (probably the least figure). The sex distributions of SARS-CoV-2 of the confirmed cases showed that male had a higher number in comparison to female, while in the age distributions, it was noticed that the age groups most affected were: 21 - 30, 31 - 40, 41 - 50, 51 - 60 for each male and female. Approximately 4% (male) as well as 5% (female) had been captured for ages under 10 years old. The sex and age distributions found in Covid-19 vulnerability depict the value of a more clear understanding of the effect of age and sex on incidence as well as case fatality of the virus and also in order to tailor therapy based on age and sex.Öğe Median nerve decompression using mini-skin ıncision in carpal tunnel syndrome: surgical technique and clinical results(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Bulut, GürayCompression of the median nerve at the wrist level is the most common entrapment neuropathy and known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In this study, in patients who were operated because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; in order to reduce scar sensitization and pilar pain, surgical treatment was performed with a mini palmar incision the results and surgical technique were evaluated. A total of 103 patients (97 females, 6 males; mean age 49.4 years) who underwentsurgery with mini-open skin incision in our clinic between 2014 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Pain and functional evaluation of the patients after surgery were performed using visual analog scale (VAS) and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ). Patients were also evaluated for complications. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Scale and Visual Analog Scale showed statistically significant improvement (p <0.05). In one patient, pain and immobility in the joints of the fingers due to not using hand, improved after physical therapy. No patient was reoperated. It was observed that the patients started their daily activities on the second day, and the employees returned to work in the second week. The distal mini-open surgical approach for treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has less scar tissue and tenderness on the incision side and allowing patients to return to their daily activities earlier.
