Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to describe dental trauma related posts which are relation with the type of presentation, the distribution, etiology, treatment procedure and follow-up of the trauma on Instagram.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive study. The hashtags #dentaltrauma, #teethtrauma, #crownfracture, #toothfracture, #rootfracture, #avulsedtooth, and #dentaltraumatology were selected. All posts under these hashtags within a six month period (November 2018-April 2019) were analyzed. A total of 456 posts were included in this study. Data was collected, including details about the presentation of the case, etiology of trauma, type of trauma, follow-up time, treatment material, and informative advices for patients. SPSS (Version 21.0) was used for statistical analyses.
Results: A total of 645 traumatized teeth were shared, 96% of them are permanent teeth. It was found that the most common shared cases were trauma of the maxillary central incisors (86%). No etiological factor of trauma reported in 76% of posts. The most shared type of luxation injury was tooth avulsion (31.7%). More than half of the posts about crown and crown-root fractures (77.1%) were uncomplicated crown fractures. Follow-up time was unreported in more than half of shared posts (86.2%). 13% of the shared dental trauma posts included informative advices for the patients.
Conclusion: In this study, it is concluded that most of the Instagram posts which are related with dental trauma did not include essential elements for dental trauma management.

Instagram’daki Dental Travma ile İlişkili Paylaşımların İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu
çalışmanın amacı; hekimler tarafından Instagram’da paylaşılan dental travma ile
ilgili paylaşımların, Instagram’daki sunum şekli, dağılımı, etiyolojisi, tedavi
ve takip prosedürünün incelenmesidir.

Materyal-Metot:
Bu tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Araştırma için #dentaltrauma, #teethtrauma, #crownfracture,
#toothfracture, #rootfracture, #avulsedtooth, ve #dentaltraumatology etiketleri
seçilmiştir. Bu etiketler ile etiketlenmiş son 6 ayda paylaşılan 456 paylaşım
değerlendirilmiştir. Olgu sunumu, travma etiyolojisi, travma türü, takip
süresi, tedavi materyali ve hastalar için bilgilendirici tavsiyelerin
bahsedildiği paylaşımlar hakkındaki veriler toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel
analizlerde SPSS (Versiyon 21.0)  
programı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular:
Toplam 645 adet travmaya uğramış  diş
paylaşılmış olup, bunların % 96'sının daimi dişler olduğu görülmüştür. En sık
paylaşılan vakaların maksiller santral kesici dişleri ilgilendiren travma
vakaları olduğu tespit edilmiştir (% 86). Paylaşımların %76’sında travmanın
etiyolojik faktörü bildirilmemiştir. En sık karşılaşılan lüksasyon yaralanması
tipi dental avulsiyon yaralanması olmuştur (% 31.7). Kron ve kron-kök kırıkları
ile ilgili paylaşımların yarısından fazlası (% 77.1) komplike olmayan kron
kırıkları olmuştur. Vakaların takip süresi paylaşımların yarısından fazlasında
bildirilmemiştir (% 86.2). Dental travma paylaşımlarının %13’ünde hastalara
yönelik bilgilendirici tavsiyelere yer verilmemiştir.

Sonuç: Bu
çalışmada, Instagram’daki dental travma ile ilgili paylaşımların çoğunun dental
travma yönetimi için gerekli unsurları içermediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
