Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of orthodontic treatment among the dental students in a university.
Methods: The 120 students were asked to complete a questionnaire that contains 6 questions about orthodontics. The participants were between the ages of 18 and 21 (mean age 20±1.54), and all of them were in their first year of education.
Results: 69% of respondents stated that the presence of teeth or jaw anomalies may influence the appearance of a person, 78% reported that teeth or jaw anomalies may effect the self-confidence of a person, 89% told that they have no idea about the impact of teeth or jaw anomalies on quality of life, 56% respondents noted they do not like the appearance of brackets, 68% told that they have known the presence of lingual orthodontics, and 45% of the respondents noted that they think it is possible to perform orthodontic treatment after the age of 18.
Conclusion: Most of the participants have rightly evaluated the impact of orthodontic problems on facial appearance and self-confidence but they could not make a relationship between quality of life. Informing about orthodontics should perform in our population.

DİŞ HEKİMLİĞİ FAKÜLTESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN ORTODONTİK TEDAVİ BİLGİLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı diş hekimliği fakültesinde okuyan öğrencilerin ortodonti hakkında bilgisinin değerlendirilmesidir.

Yöntem: Çalışma üniversitemizin Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi 1. sınıfında okuyan 18-21 yaş arası (ortalama yaş 20±1,54) 120 öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ortodonti ile ilgili 6 sorudan oluşan bir anket 120 öğrenci tarafından cevaplanmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin %69’u diş ve çene bozukluklarının kişinin görüntüsünü etkileyeceğini bildirmişler, %78’i diş veya çene bozukluklarının kişinin kendine olan güvenini etkileyeceğini bildirmişler, %89’u diş veya çene bozukluklarında kişinin yaşam kalitesinin etkilenip etkilenmeyeceğine bireylerin çoğunluğu “fikrim yok” yanıtını vermişlerdir. Katılımcıların %56’sı diş telini estetik bulmadıklarını belirtmişler, %68’i lingual ortodonti kavramını bildiklerini belirtmişler, ayrıca %45’i dişlerin 18 yaşından sonra ortodonti tedavisi ile düzelebileceğini düşündüklerini belirtmişlerdir.

Sonuç: Bireylerin çoğunluğu; ortodontik problemlerin kişilerin görünümü ve kendine olan güvenlerini etkilediğini doğru değerlendirmiş ancak yaşam kalitesi ile ilgili bağı kuramamışlardır. Ortodonti hakkında toplumumuzda daha fazla bilgilendirme yapılması gereklidir.
