Abstract

It was aimed to evaluate dental data obtained after dental examinations of 204 children aged 5-8 years and their mothers who lived in Muğla and applied to Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Faculty of Dentistry, taking into account their place of residence, mother's education level and working status. To determine caries profile of primary dentition, dmft was used, and for permanent dentition, DMFT was used. They were asked to answer prepared questions. Results, consisting of formed index after intraoral examination and answers to questions, were statistically evaluated using IBM SPSS v23.0 (IBM Corp. 2015, Armonk, NY, US). Normality of variables is examined by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Due to variables do not follow a normal distribution, differences between index values per demographic variable were tested with Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test for independent groups. To make pairwise (multiple) comparison, we used Dunn’s test. Spearman correlation analysis was also applied. According to results obtained, it was observed that mother's education level had a significant effect on children's dmft and DMFT index values (p<0.05). As education level of mothers increased, caries profile of children decreased. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between mother's DMFT index value and child's dmft index value(p<0.05, r=0.017). Additionally, it was statistically determined that dmft index values of children with employed mothers significantly lower than those of children whose mothers unemployed(p<0.05). The study showed that mother's level of being affected by decay, education level, and employment status were effective on the level of children being affected by tooth decay.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Muğla ilinde yaşayan, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’ne müracaat etmiş 5-8 yaş arası 204 çocuk ve annesinin dental muayeneleri sonrasında elde edilen dental verilerin, yaşadıkları yer, annenin eğitim düzeyi ve çalışma durumu dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Çalışma grubu, çalışmanın amacı ve içeriği açıklandıktan sonra gönüllü katılım isteyen anne ve çocuklardan oluşturuldu. Süt dentisyonun çürük profilini belirlemek için dmft, daimi dentisyonunkinde DMFT kullanıldı. Annenin ve çocuğun ait olduğu ailenin yaşam şartlarının, annenin eğitim düzeyinin ve çalışma durumunun belirlenebilmesi için hazırlanan soruları yanıtlamaları istendi. Ağız içi muayene sonrası oluşturulan indeks ve yanıtlarından oluşan sonuçları IBM SPSS v23.0 (IBM Corp. 2015, Armonk, NY, US) kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Değişkenlerin normalliği Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile incelendi. Demografik değişkene göre indeks değerleri arasındaki farklar bağımsız gruplar için Mann-Whitney U-testi ve Kruskal-Wallis testi ile değerlendirildi. İkili karşılaştırmada Dunn testi kullanıldı. Ayrıca Spearman korelasyon analizi de uygulandı. Annelerin eğitim düzeyinin, çocukların dmft ve DMFT indeks değerleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu görüldü(p<0.05). Annelerin eğitim düzeyi yükseldikçe çocukların çürük profilinde azalma görüldü. Annelerin DMFT indeks değeri ile çocukların dmft indeks değeri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.05, r=0.017). Ayrıca çalışan annelerin çocuklarının dmft indeks değerlerinin çalışmayan annelerin çocuklarınkinden anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu istatistiksel olarak belirlendi(p<0.05). Çalışmada annenin çürükten etkilenme düzeyinin, eğitim düzeyinin ve çalışma durumunun çocukların diş çürüğünden etkilenme düzeyi üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Ebeveynlerde özellikle annelerde ağız ve diş sağlığına yönelik bilgi ve tutum geliştirme girişimleri, gelecek neslin ağız sağlığının iyileştirilmesinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olacaktır.
