Abstract

Amaç: Periodontal hastalığın yetişkinlerde görüldüğü düşünülmekle birlikte, çocuklar ve ergenler de bu hastalıktan etkilenebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı periodontitisli ebeveynlerin çocuklarının ağız ve diş sağlığı konusundaki farkındalık ve bilgileri açısından değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya periodontitis tanısı alan 183 ebeveyn dahil edildi. Ebeveynler tarafından bir anket dolduruldu. İlk 7 madde sosyodemografik veriler ve sosyoekonomik durumla ilgili, sonraki 13 madde ebeveynlerin periodontal farkındalığını değerlendirmeye yönelik çoktan seçmeli sorular, son bölümde ise ebeveynlerin çocuklarının ağız hijyeni alışkanlıklarını değerlendirmeye yönelik 8 madde yer aldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yalnızca %22,7'si 20 adet süt dişi olması gerektiğini biliyordu ve doğru cevap verenlerin çoğunluğu ilkokul veya ortaokul eğitim seviyesine sahipti. 0-3 yaş arası bebeklere hangi ağız bakımının verilmesi gerektiği sorulduğunda büyük çoğunluk herhangi bir ağız bakımı yapmadıklarını belirtti. Ebeveynlerin diş fırçası değiştirme sıklığı, diş fırçalama süresi gibi yazılı ve görsel medyada sürekli yer alan konularda bilimsel verilerle tutarlı bilgiye sahip olduğu ancak çocuğunun dişlerini fırçalarken denetlemediği görüldü.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları periodontitisli bireylerin çocuklarının ağız ve diş sağlığı konusunda bilgilendirilmesine ve periodontitis konusunda farkındalık yaratılmasına açık bir ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermiştir.

Evaluation of Periodontal Awareness of Parents with Periodontitis Regarding their Children's Oral and Dental Health

Abstract

Aim: Periodontal disease is thought to be seen in adults, children and adolescents can also be affected by this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate parents with periodontitis in respect of the awareness and knowledge of oral and dental health of their children.
Material and Methods: The study included 183 parents diagnosed with periodontitis. A questionnaire was completed by the parents. The first 7 items were related to sociodemographic data and socioeconomic status, the next 13 items were multiple choice questions to evaluate the periodontal awareness of the parents, and the final section included 8 items for the parents to evaluate the oral hygiene habits of their children.
Results: Only 22.7% of the participants knew that there should be 20 primary teeth and the majority of those who responded correctly had an education level of primary school or middle school. When asked what oral care should be given to infants aged 0-3 years, the vast majority stated that they did not perform any oral care. The parents were seen to have knowledge consistent with scientific data on subjects that are constantly in printed and visual media such as the frequency of changing toothbrushes and the duration of teeth brushing but did not supervise their child when brushing their teeth.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is a clear need to inform individuals with periodontitis about the oral and dental health of their children, and to raise awareness of periodontitis.
