    Knowledge and Attitudes of Pregnant Women with and without Children about Fluoride and Herbal Toothpastes
    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Celik, Zeynep Ceren; Cubukcu, Cigdem Elbek; Celik, Halil; Ata, Gul Dinc
    Objective: Objective: Pregnant women may be vulnerable to dental caries due to their inability to fully implement oral hygiene practices. Toothpastes are main component of oral hygiene and the most important tool for the primary prevention of caries. The study aimed to examine the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women with children (PC) and without children (PNC) about fluoride and herbal toothpastes.Methods: A self-administered and validated 20-item questionnaire was completed by a total of 219 pregnant participants, 85 PC and 134 PNC. Statistical analyses were performed using the SciPy v1.2.3. program.Results: Most of the PC (57.65%; 69.41%) and PNC (72.39%; 47.76%) participants responded with no idea when asked about fluoride sources and the optimal amount of fluoride added to tap water by local health authorities (p= .006). The majority of the PC (62.4%) and the PNC (47.0%) had no preference for herbal toothpastes during pregnancy (p= .03). In addition, 86.6% of the PNC showed low knowledge about the nonfluoride content of herbal toothpastes (p= .023). While 51.5% of the PNC responded with no idea about a preference for herbal toothpastes for their children, 56.47% of the PC stated that they might not prefer using herbal toothpastes for their children's routine oral hygiene.Conclusion: The findings show that both PC and PNC participants had little knowledge of toothpastes and their contents. Considering that toothpastes are the most common self-applied oral hygiene tools, knowledge and awareness of fluoride and herbal toothpastes should be raised via antenatal programs.

    Surface characteristics and wettability of novel gingival col designed 3-D printed dental sectional matrices
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2024) Celik, Zeynep Ceren; Elbek Cubukcu, Cigdem; Celik, Halil
    Objective: The physical properties and wettability of 3-D printed Polyethylene terephthalate - glycol (PET-G) and Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) dental sectional matrices were investigated. Methods: Experimental matrices was designed in a rectangular shape one-side depression corresponds to gingival col and without sharp edges and printed on FDM machine Ender Pro 3 (Creality((R)), Shenzhen, China). The physical textures, thicknesses, water contact angles were compared to conventional stainless steel (SS) matrix. Results: PETG and PLA sample matrices were clinically single-side smooth compared to SS matrix. PETG specimens had uniformly 0.055 mm whereas PLAs were non-uniformly similar to 0.065-0.075 mm in thickness. The mean +/- standard deviation (SS) of contact angle for SS was 78.29 +/- 0.18, for PETG was 72.09 +/- 0.94, for PLA was 73.03 +/- 1.17. Conclusion: PETG and PLA dental matrices might have desirable properties: being hydrophobic, non-charged, easy to manufacture and mimicking the gingival col depression in the dental interproximal contact area.
