ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES TOWARD PERIODONTAL HEALTH AMONG PARENTS OF PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY PATIENTS

Öz:

Aim: Family is the most important environment wherechildren acquire knowledge, attitudes, and habitsrelated to oral health. The aim of this study was toevaluate the knowledge and attitudes of parentstoward periodontal health and diseases, and therelationship of their knowledge and attitudes withdemographic data.Materials and Methods: 500 parents, referred forthe treatment of their children were included in thestudy. The knowledge and attitudes of the parentswere assessed using a self-administered and structuredquestionnaire. Data were analyzed by chi-squaretest, with the level of significance set at p<0.05.Results: 33.0% parents and 33.6% children brushedtheir teeth twice or more daily. 17% parents and 8.6%children used dental floss/interdental brush, and 77%parents visited a dentist only when they experienceddental complaints. Most parents incorrectly definedthe meaning of dental plaque and did not know itsrole in the etiology of gingival diseases. 47.4% ofthem were aware that bleeding gums indicated thepresence of periodontal disease, while only 11.8%knew that one of the main reasons of tooth loss wasperiodontal disease. It was also evident that the useof dental floss significantly increased with an increasein income level (p<0.05), and the knowledge andattitude of the parents regarding periodontal healthsignificantly increased with the educational level(p<0.05).Conclusion: The knowledge and attitude of theparents regarding periodontal health were poor. Thus,an improvement in the knowledge and awarenessamong the parents can prevent or reduce the severityof possible periodontal problems in their children.

PEDODONTİ HASTALARININ EBEVEYNLERİNİN PERİODONTAL SAĞLIĞA İLİŞKİN BİLGİ VE TUTUMLARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz:

Amaç: Aile, çocukların ağız sağlığı ile ilgili alışkanlık, bilgi ve tutumlarında etkisi olan en önemli ortamdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ebeveynlerin periodontal sağlık ve hastalığa yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarını değerlendirmek ve bilgi ve tutumlarının demografik verilerle ilişkisini araştırmaktı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çocuklarının tedavisi için başvuran 500 ebeveyn çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Ebeveynlerin bilgi ve tutumları, yapılandırılmış bir anket kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler ki-kare testi ile analiz edilmiş, anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin %33.0‟ı ve çocukların % 33.6‟sı dişlerini günde iki veya daha fazla fırçalamaktadır. Ebeveynlerin %17‟si ve çocukların %8.6‟sı diş ipi/arayüz fırçası kullandığını ve %77'si dental şikayetleri bulunması durumunda diş hekimini ziyaret ettiğini belirtmiştir. Ebeveynlerin çoğunluğu dental plağı yanlış tanımlamış ve diş eti hastalıklarının etiyoloji sindeki rolüne doğru cevap vermemiştir. %47.4'ü dişeti kanamasının periodontal hastalığı işaret ettiğini ve %11.8'i diş kaybının ana nedenlerinden birinin de periodontal hastalık olduğunu bildiğini belirtmiştir. Ayrıca diş ipi kullanımının gelir düzeyi arttıkça anlamlı şekilde arttığı (p<0.05) ve ebeveynlerin periodontal sağlık konusundaki bilgi ve tutumlarının eğitim düzeyi ile anlamlı olarak arttığı da gözlenmiştir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin periodontal sağlık konusundaki bilgi ve tutumu zayıf bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle, ebeveynlerin bilgi ve farkındalıklarında bir gelişme, çocuklarında olası birçok periodontal sorunun ciddiyetini önleyebilir veya azaltabilir.
