Edirne’nin içme suyu fluor oranı farklı 3 ilçesinde dental fluorozis ve diş çürüğü prevalansının değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Çalışmamızda Edirne’nin 3 ilçesinde içme sularındaki fluor seviyeleri belirlenerek bölgede yaşayan çocuklarda dental fluorozis ve diş çürüğü görülme sıklığı değerlendirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Edirne ilinde, Kuzey Havsa, Süloğlu ve Lalapaşa ilçe merkezleri ve köylerinden içme suyu örnekleri toplanmıştır. İçme sularındaki fluor miktarları iyon spesifik F elektrodu (Orion 960900 Fluoride Combination Electrode, Thermo Scientific) kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Bu bölgedeki çocuklarda diş çürükleri DMFT/dft indeksi kullanılarak dental fluorozis ise Thylstrup-Fejerskov (TF) indeksi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bölge, içme sularındaki fluor oranlarına göre grup 1:

Prevalence of dental fluorosis and dental caries in 3 districts of Edirne with different water fluoride levels

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate fluoride levels in drinking water in 3 districts of Edirne and evaluate the prevalence of dental caries and dental fluorosis in children. Material and Methods: Drinking water samples were collected from villages of north Havsa, Süloğlu and Lalapaşa districts in Edirne province. Fluorine levels in drinking water were measured using ion-specific F electrode (Orion 960900 Fluoride Combination Electrode, Thermo Scientific). Children in this region were screened for dental caries by using DMFT/dft index and dental fluorosis was evaluated by Thylstrup-Fejerskov (TF) Index. According to the fluoride levels in drinking water the region was divided into, group 1:
