Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Oral and tooth diseases ara major concern in our country and the world.The aim of this survey is determining DMTF (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) indexes profile of Adiyaman Çelikhan village in children of ages 4 to 15 and conditions affecting oral and tooth health.

Materyal Metod; This descriptive survey is performed in 2 preschool, 12 village 5 town center primary schools, 2 village and 5 town center secondary schools among 4 to 15 years of aged with a total number of 2358 students between May 15 and June 15 ,2015. Tooth experience of every child described by indexes of DMTF which is developed by clinical and radiografic findings.

Results: Datas of students aged between 4 to 15 with a total number of 2358 were analysed. Mean DMFT index was 3.07 (n=26) in 5 years old children and 2,83 (n=323) in 12 years old children, and 3.24 (n=34) in 15 years old children. There was no statistically significant difference between DMFT indexes of different ages (p>0,05).

Conclusion: Described tooth decay rate and DMFT index in rural parts of Adiyaman is high compared to country’s mean index of 1,9 and far high from the target of WHO’s 21th century target index of 1.5 . Treatment services utilized with preventive precautions need to be supported with education programs and performed prevelant among children, would decrease prevelance of tooth decay in our country.

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç; Ağız ve diş hastalıkları dünyada ve ülkemizde hala önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Adıyaman Çelikhan ilçesi ve bağlı köylerinde yaşayan 4-15 yaş arası öğrencilerde diş çürüğü profilini ortaya koyan DMFT (D=Çürük, M=Eksik, F=Dolgulu diş) İndeksini belirleyerek ağız- diş sağlığı durumlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri tespit etmektir.

Materyal Metod; Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışma 15 Mayıs - 15 Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında Adıyaman Çelikhan İlçesi Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı bulunan 2 anaokul, 12 köy ve 5 merkez ilkokulu, 2 köy ve 5 merkez ortaokulunda bulunan 4-15 yaş aralığındaki 2358 öğrenci üzerinde yapılmıştır. Her bir öğrencinin genel çürük deneyimi klinik ve radyografik bulgular baz alınarak DSÖ’nün geliştirdiği DMFT indeksine göre belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular; Çalışmada 4-15 yaş arası toplam 2358 öğrencinin verileri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan 2358 çocuktan, 2218’inde diş çürüğü saptanmıştır. 5 yaş grubu çocukların DMFT indeksi ortalama 3,07 (n=26) iken 12 yaş dmft indeksi ortalama 2,83 (n=323) 15 yaş dmtf indeksi ortalama 3,24 (n=34) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yaş grupları arasında DMFT değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır(p>0,05).

Sonuç; Adıyaman ili kırsalında yaşayan çocuklarda tespit edilen çürük diş oranı ve DMFT indeksi ülke genelindeki 1.9 değerine göre yüksek olup DSÖ' nün 21. yüzyıl için hedefi olan 1.5 değerinden de çok uzaktadır. Koruyucu önlemlerle birlikte yapılan tedavi hizmetlerinin eğitim programları ile desteklenerek çocuklara yönelik yaygınlaştırılması ülkemizde çürük prevalansının azalmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
