    Assessment of feeding performance in patients with cerebral palsy
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004) Yilmaz, S; Basar, P; Gisel, EG
    Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) frequently manifest oral-ingestive problems ranging from mild to severe. Drooling, rejection of solid foods, choking, coughing and spillage during eating may contribute to these problems. The aim of this study was to assess functional feeding skills of patients with CP, aged 4-25 years. They were assessed with the Modified Functional Feeding Assessment Scale (FFAm). Mothers had expressed concern regarding drooling and reluctance in accepting solid foods. None of the mothers thought that there was a major problem with adequate ingestion. However, the study revealed that patients had disabilities in spoon feeding, biting, chewing, cup drinking, straw drinking, swallowing and clearing.

    The effect of dental training on the reactions of mentally handicapped children's behavior in the dental office
    (Amer Soc Dentistry Child, 1999) Yilmaz, S; Özlü, Y; Ekuklu, G
    This study was planned to observe the negative reactions shown by mentally handicapped children during the dental examination and prophylaxis, and to confirm whether there was a difference in these reactions after dental training. Twenty mentally handicapped children (between 6-18 years) were examined by a dentist and their reactions were reported, before dental training was given. Later, a special educator and a dentist trained the children about the dental process. After the training the children were examined and their reactions were reevaluated. The results obtained from the first and the second appointments were compared using McNemar Test. There were significant differences between the first and the second results.

    Otoacoustic emissions in young adults with a history of otitis media
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2006) Yilmaz, S; Karasalihoglu, AR; Tas, A; Yagiz, R; Tas, M
    The aim of this study was to investigate otoacoustic emissions in young adults who had a history of otitis media (OM) in childhood and to assess whether a history of OM had an irreversible effect on hearing. We studied 116 cases between 15 and 25 years of age, divided into three groups. Each subject underwent a single examination comprising otoscopy, pure-tone audiometry (PTA), tympanometry, and transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) testing. Subjects in the first and second groups had normal audiometric hearing thresholds and type A tympanograms. The only difference between the first and second group was the presence or absence of a history of OM. The third group consisted of patients diagnosed as having active OM; these patients had poorer hearing thresholds and type B or C tympanograms. After statistical analysis of TEOAE and DPOAE results (one-way analysis of variance test), significant differences were noted between groups. Otoacoustic emission levels were, unsurprisingly, lowest in the third group, as expected. However, the most striking result in the study was that significantly fewer otoacoustic emissions were detected in subjects with a history of OM than in subjects without a history of OM. These findings suggest that OM in childhood may cause minor but irreversible damage to the middle ear or cochlea. Otoacoustic emissions testing can be used to detect this sub-clinical damage.

    Use of an Innsbruck sensorimotor activator and regulator (ISMAR) in the treatment of oral motor dysfunctions: a single case report
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003) Basar, P; Yilmaz, S; Haberfellner, H
    Many patients with cerebral palsy have difficulties during the oral preparatory phase and also during the food transport phase (swallowing), and oral-sensorimotor therapy is practised with these individuals. With oral-sensorimotor therapies, the functioning of the lips, cheeks, tongue and pharyngeal structures, and the interplay between these structures, can be improved. An Innsbruck sensorimotor activator and regulator (ISMAR) is one of the appliances used for oral-motor therapy. The purpose of this study is to describe the appliance and report a patient using ISMAR.
