Evaluation of Periodontal Awareness, Attitudes and Behaviors Toward Oral and Dental Health of Patients Presenting to Bursa Oral and Dental Health Training and Research Hospital
Abstract
Periodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions that concern a large part of society and affect the hard and soft tissues around the teeth. These diseases can be treated easily and successfully when diagnosed at an early stage.
The present research aimed to determine whether some sociodemographic factors affect periodontal health, reveal the factors that affect it, if any, and conduct studies to reduce the effects of these factors. To this end, a survey was conducted on 300 patients at Bursa Oral and Dental Health Training and Research Hospital to assess their periodontal health and awareness. This survey included questions about patients' oral and dental health, sociodemographic status, periodontal awareness, and examination frequency. The results obtained from the surveys were evaluated using the IBM SPSS Statistics program for statistical analysis.
As a result of the statistical analysis, a significant relationship was found between gender, age, frequency of going to the dentist, educational status, frequency of tooth brushing, systemic diseases and smoking, and oral and dental health and periodontal awareness.
Thanks
