SPOR LİSESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN, BEDEN EĞİTİMİ ÖĞRETMENLERİNİN VE DİŞ HEKİMLERİNİN AĞIZ KORUYUCULAR HAKKINDAKİ DÜŞÜNCELERİ

Amaç: Sporla ilgilenen bireylere, dental yaralanmalardan korunabilmek için ağız koruyucular önerilmektedir. Ancak, geçmişte dental yaralanmaya maruz kalan sporcuların büyük çoğunluğunun, sportif aktiviteler sırasında ağız koruyucu kullanmamaya devam ettiği rapor edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, spor lisesi öğrencilerinin, beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin ve diş hekimlerinin ağız koruyucular hakkındaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilerek, ağız koruyucu kullanımını etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 3 gruplu anket çalışması olarak planlanmıştır. Birinci grupta, spor liselerinde eğitim ve öğrenim gören 14-17 yaş aralığında toplam 446 öğrenci; ikinci grupta, 58 beden eğitimi öğretmeni ve üçüncü grupta 506 diş hekimi yer almaktadır. Hazırlanan anketler ile geçmişte yaşadıkları spor ile ilişkili dental travma deneyimleri, acil durum prosedürleri hakkındaki bilgileri, ağız koruyucu kullanımı ve ağız koruyucu tercihleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yarısının (%49,9) yaralanma hikayesi olmasına rağmen çok az bir kısmının (%6) ağız koruyucu kullandığı belirlenmiştir. Beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin %77,6’sının ağız koruyuculardan haberdar olduğu ve %96,6’sının ağız koruyucu kullanımını yararlı bulduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin %87,9’u, diş hekimlerinin %67,8’i zorunlu olan spor dallarının yanı sıra diğer spor dallarında da kullanımın zorunlu olması gerektiği düşüncesindedir. Diş hekimlerinin %50,6’sının sporla ilgilenen hastalarına ağız koruyucu önerdiği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, sporcuların dental yaralanmalardan daha az zarar görmeleri için ağız koruyucu kullanım oranının arttırılması ve diş hekimlerinin, beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinin, öğrencilerin ve velilerin konu hakkında daha fazla eğitilmeleri gerekmektedir.

Even so, it has been reported that the majority of the athletes who experienced dental injury in the past, continue to perform sportive activities without using mouthguards. The aim of this study is; to determine the opinions of sports high school students, physical education teachers and dentists about mouthguards, to evaluate the factors influencing the use of mouthguards. Material and Methods: The study was planned as a 3-group survey study. There were 446 sports high school students aged between 14-17 years in the first group, 58 physical education teachers in the second group and 506 dentists in the third group. The questionnaires were used to assess past experience of dental trauma related to sports, knowledge of related emergency procedures, use of mouthguard and mouthguard preferences. Results: Although half of the students who participated the study have a story of trauma (49,9%), it has been determined that only a small percentage of students (6%) use mouthguards. 77.6% of physical education teachers were aware of mouthguards and 96.6% of them found beneficial mouthguard use. About 88% of teachers and 67.8% of dentists thought that it must be compulsory use in sports that are mandatory for as well as other sports. 50.6% of dentists suggest a mouthguard the patients interested in sports has been determined. Conclusion: As a result, to protect the athletes from dental trauma, mouthguard usage rates should be increased and the dentists, physical education teachers, students and the parents need to be educated more about this subject.
