Abstract

Aim: Despite the
improvements in preventive measures and restorative techniques in dentistry,
tooth loss still remains as a significant problem. The determination of the
edentulism prevelance may provide a new perspective for the patient-oriented
treatment alternatives. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of
gender and age on the prevelance of tooth loss.

Material and Methods: The data were
gathered from the randomly selected 722 diagnostic models obtained from the
patients consulting to the Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry, between 2015
and 2016. Models were evaluated under 6 groups as followings; full dentition,
Kennedy Class I-IV and total edentulism. Each model was classified according to
the gender and age. Statistical analysis were performed by using Chi-Square
test and log-linear model analysis and odds ratios also calculated (p˂0.05).

Results: Gender has no effect on
the edentulism whereas age significantly affects the number of tooth loss and
the prevelance of edentulism. The loss prevelance of teeth 34, 36 and 37 was
higher in females, while the tooth 24 loss was more common in male patients (p≤0.05).

Conclusion: The number of tooth
loss and edentulism significantly increase with the age. However, there was no
relation between gender and prevelance of tooth loss and edentulism. prevention
measures for oral health should be increased in elderly people.

Abstract

Amaç: Koruyucu önlemler ve restoratif tekniklerdeki
gelişmelere rağmen, diş kaybı günümüzde hala önemli bir sorun olarak karşımıza
çıkmaktadır. Bir toplumdaki dişsizlik oranının belirlenmesi hastalara özgü
tedavi alternatiflerinin ortaya konulmasında yeni bir bakış açısı sağlayabilir.
Bu bakımdan, çalışmamızda cinsiyet ve yaş faktörlerinin diş kaybı ve dişsizlik
üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankara Üniversitesi, Dişhekimliği Fakültesi, Protetik
Diş Tedavisi Anabilim Dalı’ na 2015-2016 yılları arasında dişsizlik tedavisi
için başvuran hastalardan (188 kadın, 173 erkek hasta; yaş aralığı 28-79) 722
adet maksiller ve mandibular teşhis modeli elde edilmiştir. Tüm modeler tam
dişli, Kennedy Sınıf I-IV ve tam dişsiz olmak üzere 6 grup altında
incelenmiştir. Her bir model hastanın yaş ve cinsiyetine göre
sınıflandırılmıştır. Ki-kare testi ve log-lineer model analizi ile
istatistiksel değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır (p˂0,05). Ayrıca odds oranları da
hesaplanmıştır.

Bulgular: Yaş, diş kaybı ve dişsizlik üzerinde etkili bir
faktör olarak bulunurken (p<0,05), cinsiyet ile diş kaybı ve dişsizlik
arasında önemli bir ilişki bulunmamıştır.(p>0,05).
Cinsiyet esas alındığında, 34, 36 ve 37 numaralı
dişlerin kaybı bayanlarda daha yaygın görülürken (p<0,05), 24 numaralı diş
kayıp oranı erkeklerde daha yüksek tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05).

Sonuç: Yaş ile birlikte diş kaybı ve dişsizlik önemli oranda
artması ancak cinsiyet ile diş kaybı ve dişsizlik arasında önemli bir ilişki
bulunmaması, ağız sağlığını koruyucu önlemlerin ileri yaşlardaki bireylerde
arttırılması gereğini ortaya koymuştur.
