Abstract

Defined as one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide, tooth decay continues to affect most adults and 60-90% of school-age children. Globally, the traditional treatment model carried out for the protection and treatment of oral health has been researched for many years in terms of cost, time, profit-loss ratio, long-term clinical success and effectiveness of improve the risk of caries in the light of increasing demand. Preservation of pulp viability and tooth function should be adopted as the primary goal within the scope of the treatment of dental caries that should be managed by dentists. In this context, with the COVID-19 pandemic process, the concept of "caries management strategies" aiming to preserve pulp vitality at the maximum level was emphasized by moving away from the traditional approach that risks the vitality of the dental pulp today and in the near future; Management of the clinical process with "biologically oriented minimally interventional caries management strategies" has been suggested.

COVID-19 Pandemisinde Biyolojik Odaklı Çürük Yönetimi Stratejileri

Abstract

Dünya genelinde en yaygın kronik hastalıklardan biri olarak tanımlanan diş çürüğü yetişkinlerin çoğunu, okul çağındaki çocukların % 60-90’ını etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Global olarak, ağız sağlığının korunması ve tedavisine yönelik olarak yürütülen geleneksel tedavi modeli, artan talebin ışığı altında, maliyet, zaman, kar-zarar oranı, uzun vadeli klinik başarı ve çürük riskini iyileştirebilme etkinliği açılarından uzun yıllardır araştırılmış bir konudur. Diş hekimleri tarafından yönetilmesi gereken diş çürüğü hastalığının tedavisi kapsamında pulpa canlılığının ve dişin fonksiyonunun korunması birincil hedef olarak benimsenmelidir. Bu bağlamda özellikle COVID-19 pandemisi süreciyle birlikte günümüz ve yakın gelecekte diş pulpasının canlılığını riske atan geleneksel yaklaşımından uzaklaşılarak, pulpa vitalitesini maksimum düzeyde korumayı hedefleyen “çürük yönetimi stratejileri” kavramı vurgulanmış; “biyolojik odaklı minimal girişimsel çürük yönetimi stratejileri” ile klinik sürecin yönetimi önerilmiştir.
