Amaç: Bu çalışmada diş hekimliği (diş çürüğü, diş ağrısı, diş hekimi, diş beyazlatma ve diş fırçası) ile ilgili Google Trends (GT) verilerininin, ülkelerin gayri safi yurtiçi hasılası (GSYH) ve nüfusu ile ilişkisini değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: "Diş çürüğü, diş ağrısı, diş hekimi, diş beyazlatma ve diş fırçası" terimleri için GT değerleri, "tüm kategoriler ve arama kaynakları" GT uygulaması aracılığıyla elde edildi. Dünya çapında yeterli veriye sahip 49 ülke için arama sonuçları kaydedildi. Analiz edilen ülkelerin GSYH ve nüfus sayıları kullanıldı. Diş hekimliğine ait GT verileri ile ülkelerin GSYH ve nüfusa ait değerler arasındaki korelasyonu araştırmak için Spearman korelasyonu kullanıldı (p<0.05).
Bulgular: GSYH ve diş fırçası değerleri arasında pozitif orta korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (r=0.508; p<0.001). GSYH ile diş hekimi değerleri arasında pozitif orta korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (r=0.589; p<0.001). GSYH ile diş ağrısı değerleri arasında negatif orta korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (r=-0,481; p<0,001). Diş hekimi ile nüfus değerleri arasında negatif korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (r=-0,398; p=0,005). Diş hekimi ile diş fırçası değerleri arasında pozitif orta korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (r=0,632; p<0,001). Diş hekimi ile diş çürüğü değerleri arasında negatif orta korelasyon istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (r=-0,403; p=0,004).
Sonuç: Ağız sağlığını önemseyen bireyler diş fırçası ve diş beyazlatma gibi terimleri daha çok araştırmaktadır, diş çürüğü ve diş ağrısı terimleriniyse daha az araştırmaktadır. Ek olarak, yüksek GSYH'si yüksek ülkelerdeki bireyler diş ağrısı ve diş çürüğü terimlerini internette aramayı az yapmaktadır.

Aim: The purpose of current study was to compare Google Trends (GT) values on dental terms (dental caries, toothache, dentist, teeth whitening, and toothbrush) with countries’ gross domestic product (GDP) and population.
Materials and Methods: Dental terms of the GT values “dental caries, toothache, dentist, teeth whitening, and toothbrush” were obtained through the GT application, including “All categories and search sources.” The findings were obtained for 49 countries from around the world with data. The GDP and population values of the countries analyzed were used. Spearman correlation was used to investigate the correlation between dentistry-related data and the GDP and population values of the countries (p<0.05).
Results: The positive moderate correlations between GDP and both toothbrush and dentist values were statistically significant (r=0.508; p<0.001). The negative moderate correlation between GDP and toothache values was statistically significant (r=0.589; p<0.001). The negative correlation between dentist and population values was statistically significant (r=-0,481; p<0,001). The positive moderate correlation between dentist and toothbrush values was statistically significant (r=-0,398; p=0,005). The negative moderate correlation between dentist and dental caries values was statistically significant (r=0,632; p<0,001). The negative moderate correlation between dentist and toothache values was statistically significant (r=-0,403; p=0,004).
Conclusion: Individuals who care about oral health search more for terms such as toothbrush and teeth whitening and less for terms such as dental caries and toothache. Moreover, individuals in countries with a high GDP are less likely to search online for terms such as toothache and dental caries.
