Diş Fırçalamada Etkili Faktörlerin ve Diş Fırçası Bakımına İlişkin Tutumların Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir grup hastanın oral temizlik ve diş fırçası kullanımı ile ilgili alışkanlıklarını ve ilişkili faktörleri saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastane bazlı bu kesitsel çalışma yetişkin 450 hastaya anket yapılarak gerçekleştirildi. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Yaş, cinsiyet ve eğitim düzeyi ile fırçalama sıklığı arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p<0.05). Manuel diş fırçasına kıyasla elektrikli diş fırçası kullanımının oldukça düşük olduğu, hastaların büyük bir kısmının diş fırçalarını altı ay içerisinde yeniledikleri ve diş fırçasının kullanım sonrasında ise genellikle tepesi yukarıda dik olarak saklanıldığı belirlendi. Diş fırçası seçiminde medyanın etkisinin düşük olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Limitli sayıda örneklemden elde edilen sonuçlara göre fırçalama sıklığı üzerinde demografik faktörler etkilidir. Uygun diş fırçası bakımının oral sağlık için önemi dikkate alınmalıdır.

Evaluation of Habits Regarding Oral Cleaning and Toothbrush Care in A Grup Patient

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate oral cleaning and toothbrush care habits and related factors in a group of patients. Material and Method: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study that was carried out via a questionnaire administered to 450 adult patients. Statistical level of significance was set at p<0.05.Results: There is a statistically significant difference regarding the frequency of brushing for age, gender, and education (p<0.05). It was found that the use of electric toothbrushes was rather lower than the manual toothbrush, most of the patients have been changing their toothbrushes within six months and toothbrushes were usually kept upright position after use. It has been determined that the effect of media on the choice of toothbrush was low. Conclusion: According to the results obtained from a limited sample, demographic factors have effects on the frequency of brushing. It should be taken into consideration that proper care of the toothbrush is important for oral health.
