C. Decker, 2026) Çuğlan, Songül; Gaş, Selin; Bayramova, Nuran; Çolakoğlu, Gizem; Özlü Uçan, GülfemObjective: Anatomic safety and aesthetic harmony are of critical importance in facial aesthetics and surgical procedures. This study aims to evaluate whether the distance ratios among the supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina conform to the golden ratio (φ = 1.618). Methods: In this retrospective study, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 88 patients aged 18 to 33 years (42 males and 46 females) were analyzed. The distances between the supraorbital foramen/notch (SOF), infraorbital foramen (IOF), and mental foramen (MF) (SOF-IOF, IOFMF, and SOF-MF) were measured bilaterally. The conformity of the SOF-MF/SOF-IOF ratio to the golden ratio (1.618) was statistically assessed using (SPSS version 26.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results: In our study, the distance between SOF and IOF was 45.40 ± 2.81 mm on the right side and 45.47 ± 3.11 mm on the left side. In addition, the distance between IOF and MF was 66.01 ± 5.01 mm on the right side and 65.21 ± 5.14 mm on the left side. The SOF-MF/SOF-IOF ratio was 1.522 on the right side and 1.418 on the left side in men; in women, it was 1.400 on the right side and 1.402 on the left side. In addition, the overall average was 1.459 on the right side and 1.440 on the left side. All measurements showed a significant difference compared with the golden ratio (1.618) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study provides morphometric data on distance ratios between the supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina, which may serve as a reference for anatomic planning and localization of neurovascular structures in aesthetic and surgical procedures. The findings suggest that these proportional relationships could contribute to safer, more predictable facial interventions; however, larger-scale studies are required to validate these ratios across diverse ethnic groups and populations.Öğe Türü: Öğe , A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of the Deltoid and Trapezius Muscles and Shoulder Range of Motion in Competitive Young Swimmers Across Different Swimming Strokes(BioMed Central Ltd, 2026) Ertürk, Çağıl; Çimen, Kubilay; Mutuş, Rıfat; Demirci, Sinan; Açar, Görkem; Kalpak, Ender; Tangil, Kübra BegümBackground Competitive swimming is a sport that places a high level of repetitive load on the shoulder complex and requires intensive use of upper extremity movements. Different swimming strokes may demonstrate distinct differences in shoulder joint biomechanics and muscle activation patterns, which may lead to stroke-specific adaptations in shoulder joint range of motion and the neuromechanical properties of muscles. However, studies examining shoulder joint range of motion together with the biomechanical properties of shoulder girdle muscles assessed by myotonometry according to swimming strokes in young swimmers are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the biomechanical properties of shoulder girdle muscles and shoulder joint range of motion differ according to swimming stroke in competitive youth swimmers. Methods A total of 32 competitive swimmers (14 females, 18 males) were included in this cross-sectional and comparative study. Participants were divided into four groups according to their dominant swimming stroke: freestyle (n=8), breaststroke (n=9), backstroke (n=8), and butterfly (n=7). Shoulder joint range of motion (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation) was assessed bilaterally using a standard goniometric method. The biomechanical properties of shoulder girdle muscles were measured using the MyotonPRO device, and oscillation frequency (muscle tone), dynamic stiffness, logarithmic decrement, relaxation time, and creep parameters were recorded. Differences in shoulder joint range of motion were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. In the evaluation of muscle biomechanical properties, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied while controlling for age, height, body mass, and training experience as covariates. Results No differences were found among swimming strokes in shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation range of motion (p>0.05). In contrast, shoulder adduction range of motion differed significantly according to swimming stroke on both sides (right p=0.003; left p=0.008). Freestyle swimmers demonstrated lower adduction angles, whereas butterfly and backstroke swimmers exhibited higher values. Myotonometric assessment showed no stroke-related differences in oscillation frequency, muscle stiffness, relaxation time, or creep parameters (p>0.05). However, a stroke-related difference was observed in the decrement value of the anterior deltoid muscle (p=0.002), with freestyle swimmers demonstrating lower decrement values compared with some other stroke groups. Conclusions The findings of this study indicate that shoulder joint range of motion in competitive youth swimmers is largely independent of swimming stroke, although shoulder adduction range of motion may exhibit stroke-specific differences. In addition, while most neuromechanical properties of shoulder girdle muscles appear to be independent of swimming stroke, the elastic properties of the anterior deltoid muscle may be related to stroke mechanics. These findings provide important information for the evaluation of stroke-specific biomechanical adaptations in swimmers, performance analysis, and the planning of training programs aimed at preventing shoulder injuries.

Fixed dental prostheses create a different pericervical environment, yet studies comparing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after free gingival grafting (FGG) between restored and nonrestored teeth remain limited. Purpose. The purpose of this prospective parallel-group clinical study was to compare early postoperative PROMs, pain, and patient satisfaction after FGG in restored and nonrestored teeth. Material and methods. This study included 49 systemically healthy participants undergoing FGG at sites with keratinized tissue width (KTW) <1 mm. The participants were allocated to a restored tooth group (RTG) or a nonrestored tooth group (NTG). Clinical parameters were recorded at baseline (T0) and at 30 days (T30). Graft dimensions were recorded intraoperatively. Postoperative pain, analgesic consumption, and PROMs using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) were assessed at T0, T1, T7, and T30. Results. Baseline OHIP-14 scores (functional limitation and behavioral impact) were significantly higher in the RTG. Generalized estimating equation analysis showed a significant time effect for total OHIP-14 scores (Wald χ²=32.943, P<.001), with no significant group or interaction effects (group, P=.102; interaction, P=.240). Scores peaked at T1, improved by T7, and approached baseline at T30. Postoperative pain (Wald χ²=55.074, P<.001) and analgesic consumption (Wald χ²=45.056, P<.001) also showed significant time effects without group differences. Regression analysis identified mean analgesic consumption as the only predictor of patient satisfaction. Conclusions. FGG produced comparable short-term outcomes in teeth with and without fixed dental prostheses. Although restored teeth showed poorer baseline quality of life, the postoperative experience was mainly influenced by pain intensity rather than prosthetic status.
