THE EXAMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT NEED AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN TURKISH CHILDREN

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı Türk çocuklarında yaşam kalitesi (QoL) ile ortodontik tedavi ihtiyacı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve bu ilişkinin sosyodemografik faktörler (yaş, cinsiyet, sosyal sınıf), ortodontik tedavi ihtiyaç seviyesi, diş hekimi ziyaret sıklığı ve tedavi isteği ile olan ilişkisini vurgulamaktır. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma gurubu ortodontik tedaviye ihtiyaç duyan ve yaşları 11 ile 14 arasında değişen 178 çocuktan, kontrol gurubu ise ortodontik problemi olmayan ya da ihmal edilebilecek seviyede ortodontik problem yaşayan 100 çocuktan oluşmaktaydı. Her bireyin ortodontik tedavi ihtiyacını belirlemek için Ortodontik Tedavi İhtiyaç İndeksinin (IOTN) Diş Sağlığı Bileşeni (DHC) esas alındı. Yaşam kalitesi üzerine bu ihtiyacın etkisini belirlemek için kısaltılmış 16 maddelik CPQ11-14anketi ve Child-OIDP indexi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Mevcut araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre çalışma gurubundaki total yaşam kalitesi ortalamaları her iki ankette de kontrol gurubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha düşüktür (p
