Evaluation of Attitudes and Behaviors of General and Pediatric Dentists in Türkiye Towards Pediatric Patients: A Survey Study

Öz

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate general and pediatric dentists' attitudes and behaviors toward pediatric patients in Türkiye. Method: This cross-sectional survey was conducted between October 2019 and February 2020. The questionnaire form consists of multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Standard descriptive statistics were conducted. A chi-square test was used to compare the groups. Findings: General dentists exhibit limited utilization of radiography procedures, tend to prescribe fluoride tablets more frequently, while also demonstrating infrequent application of placeholders and child prostheses (p<0.01). It has been determined that pediatric dentists employ rubber dam isolation, apply stainless steel crowns, and conduct endodontic interventions on primary and young permanent teeth significantly more (p<0.01). It was observed that both groups had the most cooperation problems during the treatment of pediatric patients. Conclusions: Pediatric dentists perform applications in their clinics that include pediatric crowns, atraumatic restorative techniques, traumatic dental injuries, endodontic treatments for primary teeth, and treatment of individuals with special needs under general anesthesia more frequently. In addition to the similarities and differences in their clinical practices, both groups are aware of the high number of pediatric patients with oral and dental health problems and need more development in theory and practice. Whether they are specialists or not, it is important to increase the knowledge, experience, and motivation levels of dentists and improve their working conditions both during their education and after graduation to increase their competence in dealing with pediatric patients and directing their behaviors.
