Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hastaların
ortodontik tedavi amacı ile fakülte veya özel
klinik tercih etme nedenlerinin belirlenip
değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu
prospektif, kesitsel çalışma 2018-2020 yılları
arasında Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Diş
Hekimliği Fakültesi Ortodonti Bölümü ile Van
bölgesinde yer alan çeşitli özel diş
kliniklerinde ortodontik tedavi gören
hastalarda gerçekleştirildi. Toplam 200
hastanın ortodontik tedavi için diş hekimliği
fakültesi veya özel klinik tercih etme
sebeplerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla anket
uygulaması yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel anlamlılık
p<0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular:
Çalışmaya 2018-2020 tarihleri arasında Van
Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği
Fakültesi Ortodonti Anabilim Dalı Kliniği'nde
ve Van bölgesinde özel kliniklerde tedavi
gören %64,5’i (n=129) kadın, %35,5’i (n=71)
erkek toplam 200 hasta dahil edildi. Özel
klinikte ortodontik tedavi olan hastaların
yaşları diş hekimliği fakültesine gidenlere göre
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek
saptanmıştır (p=0,001; p<0,01). Kadınların özel
diş kliniğine gitme oranı, erkeklere göre
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek
saptanmıştır (p=0,001; p<0,01). Maddi duruma
göre hastaların ortodontik tedavisinin
yapıldığı klinikler arasında istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır (p>0,05). Özel
klinikte tedavi olan hastaların hekimini tavsiye
üzerine tercih ettiği saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Hastaların ortodontik tedavi olmak için
klinik seçimi yapmasında; hekim tavsiyesi,
hasta-hekim iletişimi, klinik ortam şartları,
hijyen, maliyet gibi birçok sebep yönlendirici
olmaktadır.
Evaluation of the Reasons of Patients to Prefer Faculty or Private Clinic for Orthodontic Treatment
Objective: The aim of this study
is to determine and evaluate the reasons why
patients prefer faculty or private clinic for
orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods:
This prospective, cross-sectional study was
conducted between 2018-2020 in patients who
received orthodontic treatment in Van
Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Dentistry,
Department of Orthodontics and various
private dental clinics in the Van region. A
questionnaire was applied to evaluate the
reasons for choosing a dental faculty or private
clinic for orthodontic treatment of 200 patients
in total. Statistical significance was accepted as
p <0.05. Results: 64.5% (n = 129) female, 35.5%
(n = 71) male who were treated in the Van
Yüzüncü Yıl University Faculty of Dentistry
Department of Orthodontics and private
clinics in the Van region between 2018-2020 a
total of 200 patients were included. The ages of
the patients who received orthodontic
treatment in private clinics were found to be
statistically significantly higher than those
who went to the dental school (p <0.01). The
rate of women going to private hospitals was
found to be statistically significantly higher
than men (p <0.01). No statistically significant
difference was found between the hospitals
where orthodontic treatment of the patients was performed according to the financial
situation (p> 0.05). It has been determined that
patients receiving treatment in private clinics
prefer their physician upon recommendation.
Conclusion: In the clinical selection of the
patients for orthodontic treatment; Many
