Çocukların ve Ebeveynlerinin Oral Hijyen Alışkanlık (OHA) Düzeylerinin Karşılaştırılması ve Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç; Çalışmamızda, hastaların ve ebeveynler inin ağız ve diş sağlığı için kullandıkları oral hijyen araçlarının kullanım sıklıklarını tespit etmek, çocukların oral hijyen alışkanlıkları (OHA) kazanmasında ebeveynlerin ne kadar etkili olduğunu değerlendirmek ve ebeveynleri oral hijyenin önemi hakkında yeterli düzeyde bilgilendirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem; Araştırmada, Pedodonti ABD Kliniği'ne başvuran 12-14 yaşları arasındaki 360 çocuk organoleptikyöntemegöreağız kokusu olup olmadığı, dişlerini fırçalarken kanama durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Başvuran hastaların ve ebeveynlerinin (352 anne, 332 baba) oral hijyen alışkanlıkları (diş fırçalama sıklıkları, diş ipi ve ağız gargarası kullanımı, dil temizliği) da değerlendirilip birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Çocuklarda DMFT İndeksinin, yaşla birlikte artış gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, çalışmaya katılan çocukların neredeyse yarısında hekim tarafından (% 42,7) ağız kokusu olduğu tespit edilirken, başvuranların % 33'ü ağız kokusu şikayeti olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Çocukların % 5'i dişlerini hiç fırçalamadıklarını belirtirken, bu değer ebeveynlerde % 13,7 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç; Diş ipi ve ağız gar gar ası kullanımı, dil temizliği, diş fırçalama gibi oral hijyen alışkanlıklarının, çocuklar ve ebeveynleri arasında düzenli olarak uygulanmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ebeveynlerin OHA'larının yetersiz olmasının ve bu konuda çocukları bilgilendirmemelerinin, çocukların da OHA'larına yeteri kadar özen göstermemelerine neden olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Objective: In this study, our aim is to deter mine the usage frequency of oral hygiene devices, used by patients and their parents for oral and dental hygiene, to assess the effectiveness of parents in obtaining children's oral hygiene habits, and to inform parents enough about the importance of oral hygiene. Material and Methods: In the study, 360 children between the ages of 12-14 who applied to the Department of Pedodontics were evaluated for caries incidence according to the DMFT Index,oral malodor according to the organoleptic method,bleeding status during brushing. (toothbrushingfrequency, flossingandmouthwashing, tongue cleaning) of the patients and their parents (352 mothers, 332 fathers) were also evaluated and compared with each other. Results: The DMFT index in children was found to increase with age. However, almost half of the children who participated in the study were found to have oral malodor by the physician (% 42.7) and % 33 of the children complained of oral odor. While % 5 of the children stated that they could not brush their teeth at all, this value was determined as % 13,7 in the parents. Conclusion: It has been deter mined that or al hygiene habits such as flossing and mouthwashing, tongue cleaning, toothbrushing are not routinely applied between children and their parents. It was concluded that parents' inadequacy of OHA and their informing of children in this regard caused children not to pay enough attention to their OHA.
