Aim: Oral health is an important indicator of a child's quality of life. Oral and dental health should be emphasised in children with systemic diseases in order to prevent foci of infection that may arise from inadequate oral and dental health and its systemic effects. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyse the oral health status of children with chronic systemic diseases.
Material and Method: The patient group in our study consisted of children diagnosed with cyanotic congenital heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, renal transplantation, and leukemia, while the control group included children without any systemic diseases. Oral health was assessed using DMFT/dmft and PUFA/pufa indices. All participants were selected from patients who applied to the pediatric dentistry clinic. For group comparisons, the independent samples t-test was used for normally distributed variables, and the Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed ones. Pearson’s Chi-Square test was applied for categorical variables when the expected count assumption (>5) was met. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25.
Results: In our study, there were 97 participants in the patient group and 103 participants in the control group including healthy children, totalling 200 participants. The ages of the participants in our study ranged between 2 and 17 years. According to the study groups, DMFT/dmft values were similar between the patient group and the control group in all dentition periods (pdmft=0,258, pdft/DMFT=0,741, pDMFT =0,66). However, PUFA/pufa values were found to be higher in children with chronic systemic diseases in mixed and permanent dentition (ppufa/PUFA=0.01, pPUFA=0.006).
Conclusion: This study shows that children with chronic systemic diseases have poor oral health. It emphasizes the need for special measures to protect oral health. Multidisciplinary collaboration between clinics and pediatric dentists is essential.

Amaç: Ağız sağlığı, çocuğun yaşam kalitesinin önemli bir göstergesidir. Sistemik rahatsızlığı olan çocukların yetersiz ağız ve diş sağlığından kaynaklanabilecek enfeksiyon odaklarının ve bunun sistemik etkilerinin önlenmesi için ağız ve diş sağlığına önem verilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu kesitsel çalışmanın amacı, kronik sistemik hastalığı olan çocukların ağız sağlığı durumunu incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızın hasta grubunu siyanotik konjenital kalp hastalığı, nefrotik sendrom, renal transplantasyon ve lösemi tanılı çocuklar oluştururken; kontrol grubunu sistemik hastalığı olmayan çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Ağız sağlığı değerlendirmesinde DMFT/dmft ve PUFA/pufa indeksleri kullanıldı. Tüm katılımcılar pedodonti kliniğine başvuran hastalar arasından seçildi. Grupların karşılaştırılmasında normal dağılıma uygun olma durumuna göre bağımsız gruplar T-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi uygulandı. Kategorik değişkenler için uygun durumlarda Pearson Ki-Kare testi kullanıldı. Veriler IBM SPSS 25 programında analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda hasta grubunda 97 ve sağlıklı çocukları içeren kontrol grubunda 103 olmak üzere toplam 200 katılımcı mevcuttur. Çalışmamızdaki katılımcıların yaşları 2 ile 17 aralığındadır. Çalışma gruplarına göre, DMFT/dmft değerleri tüm dişlenme dönemlerinde hasta grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında benzer bulunmuştur (pdmft=0,258, pdft/DMFT=0,741, pDMFT=0,66). Ancak, PUFA/pufa değerleri kronik sistemik hastalığı olan çocuklarda karışık ve daimî dişlenme döneminde daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (ppufa/PUFA=0,01, pPUFA =0,006).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, kronik sistemik hastalığı olan çocukların ağız ve diş sağlığının yetersiz olduğunu göstermektedir. Bulgularımız, bu çocukların ağız sağlığının korunması için özel önlemler alınması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Kronik hastalıkların takip edildiği klinikler ve çocuk diş hekimlerinin multidisipliner çalışması gerekmektedir.
