    Get PDF
    First issue of the Cumhuriyet Dental Journal (CDJ, formerly known as Journal of Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry) was published in 1998. It has been twenty years from the beginning of CDJ and the world and academia has changed during these years.  We have made a very intense effort, especially in the last years, in order to follow the innovations and changes in the world and academia and to adapt them to CDJ. For this purpose, we have also made some changes in scope and vision of CDJ in the last year. CDJ currently aims to be an internationally known journal and makes every effort to achieve this aim. As a result of our submissions, CDJ is currently indexed in internationally known SCOPUS, DOAJ and INDEX COPERNICUS and under evaluation for WEB of SCIENCE (ESCI). In 2018, the CDJ has received 172 submissions and has published 52 articles. These issues presented a wide range of high quality articles including original research articles, review and clinical case reports. CDJ has begun to publish quarterly since 2018. CDJ currently accepts articles in only English. We hope all members of CDJ including Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board members, authors, reviewers, and readers will help us consolidate the Cumhuriyet Dental Journal among our peers and spread it to the international community. Editors-in-Chief, Prof. Ihsan Hubbezoglu and Assoc. Prof. Burak Buldur, would like to welcome our new prestigious Editorial Board members- Prof. John Nicholson from UK, Prof. Alessandro Leite Cavalcanti from Brasil, Prof. Zafer Cehreli from Turkey and USA, and Prof. Marco Tatullo from Italy. We would like to thank all members of CDJ and wish Happy Readings and Happy New Year in 2019

    Apical extrusion of debris in primary molar root canals using mechanized and manual systems

    Aim Apical extrusion of debris in primary root canal treatment has not been well elucidated. The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of apically extruded debris during the preparation of primary molar root canals using ProTaper, ProTaper Next, Self adjusting File (SAF) and hand files. Methods One hundred sixty extracted primary mandibular molar teeth were assigned to 2 groups: Group 1: Resorbed (n=80) and Group 2: Non resorbed (n=80) and randomly to four subgroups (n=20 teeth for each subgroup) according to the instruments used, ProTaper, ProTaper Next, SAF, and hand file. The apically extruded debris was collected and dried in preweighed Eppendof tubes. The dry weight was calculated by subtracting the preoperative weight from the postoperative weight. Statistics: Data were analysed statistically using the ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc t-test. Results The amount of apically extruded debris was significantly less for the non-resorbed group compared to the resorbed group (P<0.05). Regardless of the resorption groups, ProTaper Next and SAF extruded significantly less debris than did the ProTaper and hand files (P<0.05), while no statistically significant difference was found between ProTaper Next and SAF (P>0.05). Conclusion All instruments caused apically extruded debris in primary teeth

    In 2019, Cumhuriyet Dental Journal underwent a major renewal with its rich content and increasing international colleagues. As a result of the process I managed with the vision that Cumhuriyet Dental Journal should be a more internationally recognized journal, in 2019 we had the opportunity to publish the articles of many authors from different countries. I hope that the number of authors from other countries in Cumhuriyet Dental Journal will increase gradually next year. Cumhuriyet Dental Journal received 235 submissions in 2019 and reached the highest level in its publication history. However, our acceptance rate is 26%. For this reason, the review process of our journal has become more selective. The new policy of our journal to be held since 2020, and revised Author Guideline is now published in our website. The authors, who will also submit new papers to Cumhuriyet Dental Journal, should carefully examine the relevant sections and submit their papers according to the writing rules. In 2020, Cumhuriyet Dental Journal will welcome new prestigious Associate Editors and Editorial Board members. I would like to also welcome all colleagues who would like to join Cumhuriyet Dental Journal. I owe many thanks to the people who contributed to the development of Cumhuriyet Dental Journal. First of all, I would like to thank the readers who followed the rich content of our journal. I would like to thank the Authors for their great effort and papers. I have special thanks to the Editorial Board members and Associate Editors. I owe a very special thanks to the Reviewers who have significantly helped the development of Cumhuriyet Dental Journal. I wish a happy new year in 2020 and also happy readings in the last issue of 2019

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    The Editor’s recommendation of this issue’s article to readers

    I am pleased to inform you that I have chosen this article by Anggono et al.1 as Editor’s Choice for second issue of 2020. Dental trauma is one of the most important problems among children in dental practice. Traumatic dental injuries are commonly seen at schools. Thus, teachers must be able to make emergency dental procedures. Within this rationale, assessing teacher’s attitude and knowledge about dental trauma in children is critical. This article revealed that the attitude toward dental trauma in children was positive whereas, knowledge about dental trauma was insufficient among the teachers. Happy readings in the second issue of 2020

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
