Abstract

Aim: This study evaluated the ability of fourth and fifth grade dental students to determine systemic conditions related to periodontal diseases, the most important risk factors for achieving treatment of patients, and the ability to apply this knowledge to make clinical decisions regarding periodontal treatment. Materials and method: A twenty-one-item questionnaire was used in Yeditepe Faculty of Dentistry students to gain knowledge and confidence about clinical decision making at the beginning and end of the year. In order to compare the quantitative data Chi-Square Test, Fisher’s Exact Chi-Square test, Continuity (Yates) Correction and Mc Nemar tests were used. For the comparison of qualitative data between the groups, Mann Whitney U Test and for assessments to be made within the group Wicoxon sign test was used. Significance was evaluated at p<0.05 value. Results: The response rate was 86 percent. Periodontal risk factors were accurately selected by at least 40 percent of students in both classes; these were poorly controlled diabetes, ≥ 6 mm pockets posteriorly and smoking. The confidence and risk factor knowledge of the students increased in the higher grade students. Conclusion: Although the students' ability to recognize critical risk factors affecting treatment and referral is good; however, clinical application of this information has shown a gap between knowledge and applied reasoning. These results indicate that the dental curriculum should be reviewed to improve clinical decision-making in terms treatment criteria in periodontal patient management.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışma, dördüncü ve beşinci sınıf dişhekimliği öğrencilerinin periodontal hastalıklarla ilgili sistemik faktörlerini belirleme yeteneğini, sistemik hastalığı olan ve olmayan farklı derecelerde periodontal hastalığı olan bireylerin risk analizlerini ve klinik karar verme becerisini uygulama yeteneğini değerlendirmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, öğrencilerin periodontal hastalık risk faktörlerini ve periodontal hastalığı olan bireylerdeki klinik karar verme yetkinliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. Niteliksel verilerin karşılaştırılmasında Ki-Kare testi, Fisher’s Exact Ki-Kare testi, Continuity (Yates) Düzeltmesi ve Mc Nemar testi kullanıldı. Niceliksel verilerin gruplar arasında karşılaştırmalarında ise Mann Whitney U Test, grup içi değerlendirmelerinde Wilcoxon sign test kullanıldı. Anlamlılık p<0.05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya cevap verme oranı yüzde 86’dır. Öğrencilerin belirlenen periodontal risk faktörleri içerisinden doğru olarak en az %40 ve üzerinde seçtiği 3 risk faktörü: Kontrol altında olmayan diyabet, ≥ 6 mm posterior cep ve sigara kullanımı ‘dır. Öğrencilerin aldıkları bilgiye duydukları güven ve risk faktörü bilgisi üst sınıf öğrencilerinde artış göstermiştir. Çalışma, öğrencilerin periodontal hastalıkları etkileyen kritik hastalıkları ve risk faktörlerini oldukça iyi bildiklerini ve tedavi konusunda özgüven sahibi olduklarını ortaya koymuştur. Buna karşın bilgi ile uygulamalı klinik muhakeme kurma arasında bir boşluk olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuçlar: Öğrenciler risk faktörlerini analiz etmedeki becerilerini klinik senaryolarda kullanamamışlardır. Bu sonuçlar, periodontal hastaların yönetiminde klinik karar vermeyi geliştirmek için diş hekimliği müfredatının gözden geçirilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
