Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ergenlerde diş erozyonu
görülme sıklığını incelemek ve sosyoekonomik
faktörler ile ilişkisini değerlendirmekti.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma Selçuk Üniversitesi
Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran 188 (14-16 yaş
arasındaki) ergen üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Bireylerin
üst kesici dişlerinin bukkal ve palatinal yüzeyleri, daimi
birinci büyük azı dişlerinin okluzal yüzeyleri deneyimli
bir araştırmacı tarafından O’ Brien indeksine gore
değerlendirildi. Bireylerden yaş, cinsiyet, ortalama gelir
düzeyi anne-baba eğitim düzeyi konularında sorular
içeren anket formunu doldurmaları istendi. İstatistik
analiz için Chi-square testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Bireylerde erozyon görülme sıklığı %17.5
(n=33) olarak bulundu. Eroziv alanların sadece mine
seviyesinde olduğu tespit edildi. Daimi birinci büyük
azı dişlerin okluzal yüzeyi en çok etkilenen yüzey
(%7.57) olarak bulunurken, bunu üst kesici dişlerin
palatal (%2.59) ve bukkal yüzeylerinin (%1.46) takip
ettiği görüldü. Diş erozyonu ve yaş, cinsiyet,
sosyoekonomik faktörler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki
bulunmadı (P > 0,05).
Sonuç: Diş erozyonu ve yaş, cinsiyet, sosyoekonomik
faktörler arasında ilişki tespit edilmedi. Türkiyede
ergenler arasında diş erozyonunun henüz ciddi
seviyede olmayan bir problem olduğu söylenebilir.

Prevalence of dental erosion and association between socioeconomic factors in Turkish schoolchildren

Abstract

Background: This study's purpose was to assess the prevalence of dental erosion in adolescents and to evaluate the association between erosion and socioeconomic factors.Methods: This study was carried out on 188 adolescents (14-16 years old) of both gender who attending Dentistry Faculty of Konya, Turkey. A calibrated examiner used the O’Brien index for assessment of dental erosion on the buccal and palatal surfaces of the permanent maxillary incisors and on the occlusal surfaces of the permanent first molars. Data on age, gender, mean family income and parental educational status were collected by a questionnaire completed by the subjects. Descriptive statistics were applied to the data, and the associations between erosion and socioeconomic variables were investigated by chi-square test (P < 0.05).Results: 17.5% (n=33) of the subjects exhibited dental erosion, with only enamel being involved. Occlusal surface of the lower first molar was the most commonly affected teeth (7.57%); followed by palatal surface (2.59%) and buccal surface (1.46%) of maxillary incisors, respectively. There was no correlation between dental erosion and age, gender, socioeconomic factors.Conclusion: No statistically significant association was observed between erosion, age, gender and socioeconomic factors. In Turkey, dental erosion seems to be a significant, but not serious problem for dental health in adolescents.
