Abstract


Objectives:  The aim of this study was to compare the differences in self-reported oral
health attitudes and clinical measurements between dental students who enrolled
in or not enrolled in periodontology course in Turkey.



Material and Methods: A
total of 701 students were included in the study. Students asked 26 questions
including age, gender, smoking, oral hygiene habits and self-assessment
measures for periodontal status. Probing depth (PD)
clinical attachment level (CAL), presence of bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque
index (PI) and gingival index (GI) measurements performed. The Chi-square test was used for
categorical data and one way Anova post hoc Tukey test for ordinal level data.



Results: There were no differences between
grades in term of PD and CAL (p>0.05). Statistically significant difference
was in BOP value between 1st and 5th grade (p<0.05).
PI values of 1st grade were statistically higher than 3rd,
4th and 5th grades (p<0.05).  GI of 1st grade was statistically
higher than 4th and 5th grades (p<0.05). GI of 2nd
grade was statistically higher than 3rd, 4th and 5th
grades (p<0.05). Tooth brushing was not different between grades
(p>0.05). Interdental care ratios in grades significantly differ from each
other (p<0.05). According to students, they did not have any kind of
periodontal disease with high percentages above 88%.  4th and 5th grades had
periodontal treatment comparing the other grades (p<0.05).



Conclusion: Starting to
take periodontology course in dental faculties from the first year and
constitute a periodontal disease prevention program will be beneficial to
students in Turkey.
