    Biostimulation with diode laser positively regulates cementoblast functions, in vitro
    (SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2017) Bozkurt, Serife Buket; Hakki, Erdogan E.; Kayis, Seyit Ali; Dundar, Niyazi; Hakki, Sema S.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diode laser biostimulation on cementoblasts (OCCM. 30). A total of 40 root plates were obtained from healthy third molar teeth and assigned to the following two groups: (1) control group and (2) laser-treated group. Root plates were placed into the cell culture inserts, and OCCM. 30 cells were seeded onto root plates. Cells were irradiated with a low level of diode laser (power: 0.3 W in continuous wave, 60 s/cm(2)). Proliferation and mineralized tissue-associated gene's and BMP's messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of cementoblasts were evaluated. Total RNAs were isolated on day 3 and integrin-binding sialoprotein (Ibsp), bone gammacarboxyglutamate protein (Bglap), Type I collagen (Col1a1), osteoblastic transcription factor, runt-related transcription factor (Runx2), and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)-2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 mRNA expressions were determined using quantitative RT-PCR. von Kossa staining was performed to evaluate biomineralization of OCCM. 30 cells. In the proliferation experiment, while there was no significant difference until 96 h, laser irradiation retarded the decrease in cell proliferation trend after 96 h compared to the untreated control group. Statistically significant increase in Ibsp, Bglap, and BMP-2,3,6,7 mRNA expressions were noted in the laser groups when compared to the untreated control group (p < 0.05). Laser irradiation induced mineralized nodule formation of cementoblasts. The results of this study reveal that the biostimulation setting of diode laser modulates the behavior of cementoblasts inducing mineralized tissue-associated gene's mRNA expressions and mineralization. Therefore, biostimulation can be used during regenerative periodontal therapies to trigger cells with periodontal attachment apparatus.

    Boron enhances strength and alters mineral composition of bone in rabbits fed a high energy diet
    (ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2013) Hakki, Sema S.; Dundar, Niyazi; Kayis, Seyit Ali; Hakki, Erdogan E.; Hamurcu, Mehmet; Kerimoglu, Ulku; Baspinar, Nuri
    An experiment was performed to determine whether boron had a beneficial effect on bone strength and composition in rabbits with apparent adiposity induced by a high energy diet. Sixty female New Zealand rabbits, aged 8 months, were randomly divided into five groups with the following treatments for seven months: control 1, fed alfalfa hay only (5.91 MJ/kg); control 2, high energy diet (11.76 MJ and 3.88 mg boron/kg); B10, high energy diet + 10 mg/kg body weight boron gavage/96 h; B30, high energy diet + 30 mg/kg body weight boron gavage/96 h; B50, high energy diet + 50 mg/kg body weight boron gavage/96 h. Bone boron concentrations were lowest in rabbits fed the high energy diet without boron supplementation, which suggested an inferior boron status. Femur maximum breaking force was highest in the B50 rabbits. Tibia compression strength was highest in B30 and B50 rabbits. All boron treatments significantly increased calcium and magnesium concentrations, and the B30 and B50 treatments increased the phosphorus concentration in tibia of rabbits fed the high energy diet. The B30 treatment significantly increased calcium, phosphorus and magnesium concentrations in femur of rabbits fed the high energy diet. Principal component analysis of the tibia minerals showed that the three boron treatments formed a separate cluster from controls. Discriminant analysis suggested that the concentrations of the minerals in femur could predict boron treatment. The findings indicate boron has beneficial effects on bone strength and mineral composition in rabbits fed a high energy diet. (C) 2012 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

    Clinical and biochemical effects of diode laser as an adjunct to nonsurgical treatment of chronic periodontitis: a randomized, controlled clinical trial
    (SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2014) Saglam, Mehmet; Kantarci, Alpdogan; Dundar, Niyazi; Hakki, Sema S.
    The aim of this randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial was to examine the clinical and biochemical efficacy of diode laser as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP). Thirty chronic periodontitis patients were randomly assigned into two groups to receive SRP alone (control) or SRP followed by diode laser (test). Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. The gingival crevicular fluid levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Test group showed significantly a better outcome compared to the control group in full-mouth clinical parameters. MMP-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-1 showed significant differences between groups after treatment compared to baseline (p < 0.05). The total amount of IL-1 beta, IL-6, MMP-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-1 decreased (p < 0.05) and IL-8 increased after treatment in both test and control groups (p < 0.05). Diode laser provided significant improvements in clinical parameters and MMP-8 was significantly impacted by the adjunctive laser treatment at first month providing an insight to how lasers can enhance the outcomes of the nonsurgical periodontal therapy.

    Dietary boron does not affect tooth strength, micro-hardness, and density, but affects tooth mineral composition and alveolar bone mineral density in rabbits fed a high-energy diet
    (ELSEVIER GMBH, 2015) Hakki, Sema S.; Malkoc, Siddik; Dundar, Niyazi; Kayis, Seyit Ali; Hakki, Erdogan E.; Hamurcu, Mehmet; Baspinar, Nuri
    The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary boron (B) affects the strength, density and mineral composition of teeth and mineral density of alveolar bone in rabbits with apparent obesity induced by a high-energy diet. Sixty female, 8-month-old, New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned for 7 months into five groups as follows: (1) control 1, fed alfalfa hay only (5.91 MJ/kg and 57.5 mg B/kg); (2) control 2, high energy diet (11.76 MJ and 3.88 mg B/kg); (3) B10, high energy diet + 10 mg B gavage/kg body weight/96 h; (4) B30, high energy diet + 30 mg B gavage/kg body weight/96 h; (5) B50, high energy diet + 50 mg B gavage/kg body weight/96 h. Maxillary incisor teeth of the rabbits were evaluated for compression strength, mineral composition, and micro-hardness. Enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue were examined histologically. Mineral densities of the incisor teeth and surrounding alveolar bone were determined by using micro-CT. When compared to controls, the different boron treatments did not significantly affect compression strength, and micro-hardness of the teeth, although the B content of teeth increased in a dose-dependent manner. Compared to control 1, B50 teeth had decreased phosphorus (P) concentrations. Histological examination revealed that teeth structure (shape and thickness of the enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp) was similar in the B-treated and control rabbits. Micro CT evaluation revealed greater alveolar bone mineral density in B10 and B30 groups than in controls. Alveolar bone density of the B50 group was not different than the controls. Although the B treatments did not affect teeth structure, strength, mineral density and micro-hardness, increasing B intake altered the mineral composition of teeth, and, in moderate amounts, had beneficial effects on surrounding alveolar bone.

    The effect of different cleaning methods on the surface and temperature of failed titanium implants: an in vitro study
    (SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2017) Hakki, Sema S.; Tatar, Gulsah; Dundar, Niyazi; Demiralp, Burak
    The aims of this in vitro study are to compare the efficacy of different cleaning methods in removing debris of failed implants and to detect thermal changes of the implants treated by various scaling instruments. Twenty-seven failed implants and two unused implants as control were included to this study-group 1: plastic curette (P), group 2: titanium curette (T), group 3: carbon curette (C), group 4: titanium brush (TB), group 5: Er:YAG laser (laser 1 (L1) 100 mJ/pulse at 10 Hz), group 6: Er:YAG laser (laser 2 (L2) 150 mJ/pulse at 10 Hz), group 7: Er:YAG laser (laser 3 (L3) 200 mJ/pulse at 10 Hz), group 8: ultrasonic scaler appropriate for titanium (US), group 9: air abrasive method (AA) + citric acid, and group 10: implantoplasty (I). The changes on the treated/untreated titanium surfaces and remnant debris were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Temperature of the implants before and after treatment was detected using a thermocouple. The use of air abrasive and citric acid combination and Er:YAG laser groups was found as the best methods for the decontamination of titanium surfaces of failed implant. When the hand instruments were compared, titanium curette was found better than both the plastic and the carbon curettes which leave plastics and carbon remnants on the titanium surface. The temperature was higher after hand instrumentation when compared to other experimental groups (p < 0.05). Within the limitations of the present in vitro model, it can be concluded that the best method for decontamination of the implant surface is the use of air abrasives and Er:YAG laser.

    MMP-1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels in oral lichen planus patients with gingivitis or periodontitis
    (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) Ertugrul, Abdullah Seckin; Dursun, Recep; Dundar, Niyazi; Avunduk, Mustafa Cihat; Hakki, Sema Sezgin
    Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. The aim of this study was to investigate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-9, and MMP inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and to investigate MMP-1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels in gingival tissue by immunohistochemical staining of samples from patients with and without OLP. Design: Twenty-seven patients with OLP (gingivitis, OLPG; chronic periodontitis, OLPP) and thirty healthy non-OLP patients (gingivitis, HG; chronic periodontitis, HP) were included in this study. The MMP-1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels in GCF were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The MMP-1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels in gingival tissue were determined by immunohistochemical staining. Results: The mean levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9 in the GCF of OLPP patients were significantly higher and TIMP-1 was significantly lower than in HP patients; similarly, the mean levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9 were higher and TIMP-1 was significantly lower in OLPG patients than in HG patients. Our findings illustrate that tissue MMP-9 levels were statistically higher and TIMP-1 level were significantly lower in the OLPP group in comparison to the HP group, and the OLPG group in comparison to the HG group. The tissue MMP-1 level in the non-OLP group was found to be lower when compared with the OLP groups. But not statistically significant. Conclusions: Increased levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9 with decreased levels of TIMP-1 in GCF and increased MMP-1, MMP-9 levels and decreased TIMP-1 levels in the gingival tissue of OLP patients in combination with poor oral hygiene may cause increased tissue breakdown. The results of our study provide information about the effects of the periodontal status on the enzyme profiles in GCF and gingival tissue of OLP and non-OLP patients. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    Netrin-1 and its receptor Unc5b as markers of periodontal disease
    (WILEY, 2019) Gunpinar, Sadiye; Meraci, Bilge; Dundar, Niyazi
    Objectives The aim of this present study was to evaluate the levels of Netrin-1 and Unc5b in periodontal health and disease. Background Netrin-1, acting via its receptor UNC5b, regulates the inflammatory response and takes apart in bone destructive diseases. Methods Samples of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), whole saliva, and serum were taken from systemically healthy, nonsmoking 20 periodontitis , 20 gingivitis patients, and 20 periodontally healthy subjects at baseline and 4 weeks after nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT). Whole-mouth and site-specific clinical periodontal parameters were recorded. Netrin-1 and Unc5b levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were analyzed by nonparametric tests. Results Total amount of Netrin-1 in GCF was significantly higher in periodontitis than the others, and the levels were significantly reduced after NSPT. Salivary and serum concentrations of Netrin-1 were significantly different among the study groups (P = .000), and NSPT significantly increased the concentration levels of both salivary and serum Netrin-1 (P < .05). Healthy subjects had significantly lower GCF (P = .001) and conversely, higher salivary and serum levels of Unc5b than the other groups (P = .002). The GCF levels of Unc5b were significantly reduced (P < .01), and conversely, serum concentrations were significantly increased after NSPT (P < .05). GCF Netrin-1 and Unc5b total amounts were positively correlated with clinical parameters (P P < .05) whereas salivary Netrin-1 and Unc5b concentrations were negatively correlated with clinical parameters (P P < .05). Conclusions The results of this study indicate that Netrin-1 and its receptor Unc5b may have essential roles in periodontal inflammation and those can be assumed as useful therapeutic agent to control inflammation and periodontal breakdown.

    Nonsurgical periodontal therapy with/without diode laser modulates metabolic control of type 2 diabetics with periodontitis: a randomized clinical trial
    (SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2016) Kocak, Emrah; Saglam, Mehmet; Kayis, Seyit Ali; Dundar, Niyazi; Kebapcilar, Levent; Loos, Bruno G.; Hakki, Sema S.
    In order to evaluate whether nonsurgical periodontal treatment with/without diode laser (DL) decontamination improves clinical parameters, the levels of IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) in gingival crevicular fluid and metabolic control (HbA1c) in chronic periodontitis (CP) patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Sixty patients with DM2 and CP were randomly assigned into two groups to receive scaling and root planing (SRP, n = 30) or SRP followed by diode laser application (SRP + DL, n = 30). Clinical periodontal and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) parameters were assessed at baseline, 1, and 3 months after periodontal treatment. HbA1c levels were evaluated at baseline and 3 months post-therapy. Total amounts of cytokines and molecules were analyzed by ELISA. Nonsurgical periodontal treatment with/without DL appeared to improve clinical, biochemical parameters, and glycemic control in DM2 patients (BMI < 25 kg/m(2)) with CP. The SRP + DL group provided better reductions in probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) parameters compared to the SRP group (P < 0.05). Significant reductions were found in the total amounts of GCF levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM, and VCAM after treatment (P < 0.05). HbA1c levels decreased significantly at 3 months after treatment (P < 0.05). SRP + DL reduced HbA1c levels more significantly compared to SRP alone (0.41 vs. 0.22 %, P < 0.05). SRP, especially in combination with DL, shows improvement of glycemic control for DM2 patients with CP.
