Abstract

Amaç: Diş hekimligǍi oǅgǍrencilerinin kendi agǍız sagǍlıgǍına yoǅnelik tutumları agǍız sagǍlıgǍı alışkanlıklarını etkilemek ile birlikte
tedavi ettikleri hastalarının agǍız sagǍlıgǍının iyileştirilmesi uǅzerinde de olası etkiye sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı diş hekimligǍi
fakuǅltesi oǅgǍrencilerinin periodontal farkındalıklarını, kendi agǍız sagǍlıgǍına yoǅnelik tutum ve alışkanlıklarını degǍerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 336 birey (140 preklinik oǅgǍrencisi-196 klinik stajyer oǅgǍrenci) dahil edildi. Bireylerin sosyodemografik verileri, sistemik hastalık geçmişi, sigara içme durumları, periodontal sagǍlık/hastalık durumları online anket formu
kullanılarak sorgulandı. AgǍız sagǍlıgǍına yoǅnelik tutumları ve agǍız sagǍlıgǍı alışkanlıklarını degǍerlendirmek için Hiroşima Uǆniversitesi Diş Davranış Envanteri (HU-DBI) kullanıldı. Elde edilen veriler p<0,05 anlamlılık duǅzeylerine goǅre istatistiksel olarak
analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Gruplar arasında cinsiyet, ailenin ikamet ettigǍi yer, ailenin gelir duǅzeyi ve oǅgǍrencilerin annelerinin egǍitim seviyesi
açısından anlamlı bir farklılık goǅruǅlmezken (p>0,05), yaş, oǅgǍrencilerin yaşadıkları yer ve oǅgǍrencilerin babalarının egǍitim seviyeleri açısından anlamlı farklılık oldugǍu goǅruǅlduǅ(p<0,05). OǆgǍrencilerin periodontal farkındalıkları degǍerlendirildigǍinde; klinik oǅgǍrencilerin periodontal farkındalıklarının istatistiksel olarak daha yuǅksek oldugǍu goǅzlendi. Iǚlaveten, HU-DBI skorları
klinik oǅgǍrencilerde (7,10±1,32) preklinik oǅgǍrencilerle (5,49±2,01) kıyasla daha yuǅksekti (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamızın bulguları dogǍrultusunda, diş hekimligǍi oǅgǍrencilerinde egǍitim seviyesinin artmasıyla, oǅgǍrencilerin diş fırçalama alışkanlıkları, oral hijyen davranışları, periodontal hastalık bilgileri ve bu konudaki tutum ve davranışlarının arttıgǍı
goǅzlemlenmiştir.

Abstract

Background: The attitudes of dentistry students towards their own oral health affect their oral health habits and also have a possible effect on improving the oral health of the patients that they treat.The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal awareness, attitudes and habits of dental faculty students towards their own oral health.
Methods: 336 individuals (140 preclinical-196 clinical students) were included in the study. Sociodemographic data,systemic disease history, smoking status, periodontal health/disease status of individuals were questioned using the online questionnaire.HU-DBI was used to evaluate attitudes towards oral health and oral health habits.The data obtained were statistically analyzed according to p<0.05 significance levels.
Results: While there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of gender, place of residence of the family, income level of the family and the education level of the mothers of the students(p>0.05), there was a significant difference in terms of age, location of the students and the education levels of the fathers of the students(p<0,05).When periodontal awareness of students is evaluated; It was observed that clinical students' periodontal awareness was statistically higher. In addition, HU-DBI scores were higher in clinical students (7.10 ± 1.32) compared to preclinical students (5.49 ± 2.01)(p<0.05).
Conclusion : In line with the findings of our study, it can be said that with the increase in the level of education in dentistry students, tooth brushing habits, oral hygiene behaviors, periodontal disease knowledge and attitudes and behaviors in this regard have increased.
