Sosyoekonomik şartların diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin ağız sağlığına olan etkisi: Anket çalışması

Sosyoekonomik şartların diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin ağız sağlığına olan etkisi: Anket çalışması Amaç: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmanın amacı, dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin sosyoekonomik statülerinin ağız sağlıklarına olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Selçuk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi'nde öğrenim gören toplam 173 ikinci ve üçüncü sınıf öğrencisi arasında kapsamlı bir sosyal, kültürel ve dişhekimliği değerlendirme anketi hazırlanmış ve dağıtılmıştır. Oral sağlık durumu, ağız hijyeni bilgisi, protetik restorasyon prevalansı, öğrencilerin sosyal ve ekonomik durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Kasaba ve ilçelerdeki öğrencilerin restorasyon prevalansı şehirlerden gelen öğrencilerin restorasyon prevelansı ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Anket, sabit protez, implant destekli restorasyonlar, laminate veneerler, inley-onley restorasyonlar ve gece plakları gibi değişik protetik tedavileri türlerini içermektedir. Dolgu ile restore edilmiş dişler ve eksik dişler de değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak, çalışmanın verileri Pearson KiKare testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Elde edilen sonuçlara göre sadece 11 öğrencinin protetik restorasyonu bulunmaktadır. 117 öğrencinin dişlerinde dolgu tespit edilmiştir. Ailelerinin gelirleri yüksek olan veya üniversiteden önceki yaşantısını şehirde sürdüren öğrencilerin dolgu sıklığı daha düşük olarak bulunmuştur. Buna ek olarak, 67 öğrencide dişhekimi korkusu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Ağız sağlığı birçok faktörün etkisi altındadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına dayanarak sosyoekonomik durumun diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin ağız sağlığı üzerinde düşük bir etkisi olabileceği sonucuna varılabilir.

The effect of socioeconomic conditions on oral health status of dentistry students: A questionarrie based study

Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the effect of social status on oral health between dental students. Methods: A comprehensive social, cultural and dental assessment questionnaire was designed and distributed among 173 second and third grade students of Selcuk University Faculty of Dentistry. Oral health status, oral hygiene knowledge, prosthetic restoration prevalence, social and economic conditions of students were evaluated. Restoration prevalence of students from towns and districts was compared with the students from cities. The questionnaire contained different types of prosthetic treatments such as fixed partial denture, implant supported restorations, laminate veneers, inlay-onlay restorations and night guards. Restored teeth with filling materials and the missing teeth were also evaluated. Finally, data of the study were evaluated using Pearson Chi-Square test. Results: According to the results, only 11 students had a prosthetic restoration. Restored teeth with a filling material were detected in 117 students. Students, whose families had high incomes or who lived in the city before university had a lower prevalence of filling. Additionally, 67 students were detected with a dental anxiety. Conclusion: Oral health is affected by many factors. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that socioeconomic condition may have a slight effect on oral health of dentistry students.
