Amaç: Bu
kesitsel araştırmanın amacı, Mersin Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’ne
başvuran hastaların klinik görsel muayene ile çürük durumlarını belirlemektir.
Ayrıca çürük durumları ile demografik veriler (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim seviyesi, sosyoekonomik durumları), sistemik
hastalık varlığı, sigara kullanımı, düzenli diş hekimi ziyareti, şekerli
besinlerin tüketimi ve ağız bakımı alışkanlıkları gibi değişkenler arasındaki
ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem:
Çalışmaya katılan hastalara, demografik özellikleri, sistemik hastalık varlığı,
sigara kullanımı, düzenli diş hekimi ziyareti, şekerli besinlerin tüketimi ve
ağız bakımı alışkanlıkları ile ilgili bilgi toplamak amacıyla, soru-cevap
şeklinde yapılandırılmış anket uygulandı ve ilgili veriler elde edildi. Ayrıca
ağız-diş muayenelerinin yapılması sonucunda DMFT ve DMFS indeks değerleri
hesaplandı. Elde
edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizi, Windows’un SPSS paket programı ile
yapıldı. Anket sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesinde veriler; ortalama +/-
standart sapma olarak gösterildi ve Mann-Whitney U ve ki- kare testleri ile
analiz edildi. P<0.05
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya
208 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların DMFT indeks ortalaması 6,10±5,06; DMFS
indeks ortalaması ise 18,22±19,33 olarak bulundu. DMFT ve DMFS indekslerinin;
hastaların yaşı, günlük içilen sigara
sayısı, taze meyve tüketim sıklığı ve şekerli gıda ve
içecek tüketim sıklığı değişkenleri ile arasında pozitif
korelasyon, eğitim seviyesi, sosyoekonomik durumları, fırçalama sıklığı ve fırçalama
süresi değişkenleri ile arasında negatif korelasyon olduğu tespit
edildi. Ayrıca sistemik hastalık varlığında, DMFT ve DMFS indeks değerlerinin
istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç:
Çalışmamızdan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, hastaların etkin ağız bakımı
yapmadıkları, yüksek çürük riski taşıdıkları ve tedavileri ile birlikte ağız
bakımı eğitimine gereksinimleri olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
Aim: The
purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the caries status of the
patients referred to the Mersin University Faculty of Dentistry, by clinical
visual examination and also to examine the relationship between their caries
status and variables such as demographic data (age, sex, education level,
socioeconomic status), presence of systemic diseases, smoking, regular dentist
visits, consumption of sugary foods and oral hygiene habits. Method: A
structured questionnaire was conducted to collect information on the
demographic characteristics of the patients participating in the study, the
presence of systemic disease, smoking, regular dentist visits, consumption of
sugary foods and oral hygiene habits and
related data were obtained. In addition, DMFT and
DMFS index values were calculated by performing oro-dental examinations. Statistical
analysis of the obtained data was performed with the SPSS package program of
Windows. In the evaluation of the survey results, the data were expressed as
mean +/- standard deviation and were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U and chi-square
tests. P <0.05 was
considered statistically significant. Results: 208
patients were included in the study.
Mean DMFT value of patients
was 6,10 ± 5,06; mean DMFS value was found to be 18,22 ± 19,33. This
study was found that DMFT and DMFS index values negatively correlated with the
age of the patients, the number of cigarettes smoked per day, the frequency of
fresh fruit consumption and the frequency of sugary food and beverage
consumption; positively correlated with education level, socioeconomic status,
tooth brushing frequency and tooth brushing duration variables. In
addition, DMFT and DMFS index values were statistically higher in the presence
of systemic disease (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings obtained from the study,
it was understood that the patients did not perform effective oral hygiene
practices, had a high risk of caries and needed to oral hygiene training with
their treatment.
