Abstract

Amaç: Spor aktiviteleri ve karşılaşmalarında dental
travma görülme sıklığı artmaktadır. Ağız koruyucusu kullanımı ile yaşanabilecek
travmanın etkilerinin en aza indirildiği bilinmektedir.  Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimlerinin spor
diş hekimliği ve dental travmalar ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin ölçülmesi,
davranış ve tutumlarının belirlenmesidir

Gereç ve yöntem: 23 sorudan oluşan tanımlayıcı nitelikteki anket İstanbul
ilinde kamu kuruluşunda veya özel sektörde çalışan diş hekimlerine basılı veya
internet üzerinden ulaştırıldı. Anketi yanıtlayan 346 diş hekimi çalışmaya
dahil edildi ve elde edilen yanıtlar kaydedildi.  Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; ki-Kare
analizi, Fisher Exact testi ve parametrik olmayan Sperman korelasyon değerleri
kullanıldı. Sonuçlar p<0,05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan hekimlerin %94,80’ünün spor aktiviteleri
sırasında ağız koruyucusu kullanımının travma karşısında koruyucu olduğunu
düşündüğü belirlenmiştir. Ancak hekimlerin sadece klinikte %13,8’i hastalarına
ağız koruyucusu uygulaması yapmaktadır. Hekimlerin ağız koruyucusu uygulamama
nedenleri; %38,15’i herhangi bir eğitim almadığı için, %5,78’i hastalar
tarafından yüksek maliyetli bulunduğu için, %3,76’sı diş hekimliği alanına
girdiğini düşünmediği için, %42,77’si diğer sebepler olarak belirlenmiştir.
Hekimlerin %62,43’ü ağız koruyucu uygulaması konusunda eğitim almamış iken; %29,48’ü
yalnızca teorik, %8,09’u hem teorik hem pratik eğitim almışlardır. Konu
hakkında eğitim almayan hekimlerin %84,1’i eğitim almak istediklerini
belirtmiştir.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre, İstanbul ilinde çalışan diş
hekimleri ağız koruyucusu kullanımının spor travmalarında etkili bir koruyucu
uygulama olduğunu düşünmektedirler; ancak ağız koruyucusu uygulaması yapan diş
hekimlerinin sayısı bu orana göre beklenildiği kadar yüksek bulunmamıştır.

EVALUATION OF KNOWLEDGE OF
DENTISTS ABOUT TRAUMA AND PREVENTIVE METHODS IN SPORTS DENTISTRY

Aim: Sports activities and competitions increases the potential for possible dental trauma. It is known that the effects of trauma can be minimized with the use of mouthguards . The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of knowledge and behavior of dentists on sports dentistry and dental trauma.

Material and Methods: In this study, the descriptive questionnaire including 23 questions was delivered via printed or internet to the dentists working in public or private clinics in Istanbul. 346 respondents who returned the completed data forms were included in the study. For statistical analysis, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test were used, and Sperman correlation​​ were used for nonparametric tests. P value was set as 0.05.

Results: It was determined that 94.80% of dentists
participating in the study believed that the use of mouthguards during sports
activities was protective against trauma. However, only 13.8% of dentists
recommended their patients to wear mouthguard. The reasons why doctors do not
apply mouthguards; 38.15% did not have any education, 5.77% was found to be
costly by patients, and 42.77% was stated other causes, because 3.76% did not
think it was belong to dentistry field. 62.43% of the dentists did not have
education on mouthguard application; 29,48% had only theoretical education,
8,09% had both theoretical education and hands-on. 84.1% of dentists who did
not have education on the subject stated that they wanted to have further
education.

Conclusion: As a result, this study shows that using mouthgards during sports activities is considered as an effective protective method by dentists in Istanbul. However, the percentage of dentists who apply mouthgards is not as high as expected.
