Abstract

Background and Aim: Both children and adults seek care at dental centers for emergencies, such as dental pain, trauma, and infection. The approach to dental emergency patients in these centers may be inadequate. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of dental emergencies among children and adults, and to identify the approach and requirements for emergency treatment.Subjects and Methods: This study was carried out on 384 patients who presented to Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Dentistry, Departments of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology and Pedodontics. The assessment was performed on 221 adult patients and 163 parents of pediatric patients with a face-toface interview method using a self-structured questionnaire. The collected data were assessed with SPSS 17.0 software. Analytic comparisons were performed with a Chi-square test.Results: Most parents (60.7 %) declared that their children had a dental emergency at least once within the last year. The most common complaint was pain (54.5 %), and 48.5 % of parents medicated their children in this type of situation. Around 63.8 % of adult patients stated that they had a dental emergency within the last year, and the pain was again the most common complaint (46.8 %). Among the adult patients examined, 38.3 % received medication for the dental emergency and 35.5 % did nothing.Conclusion: Dental emergencies have significant importance in dental practice. To provide adequate care for dental emergency patients, the number of dental emergency centers should be increased and more time and equipment should be provided for these patients

Özet

Amaç: Çocuk ve yetişkinler diş ağrısı, travma, enfeksiyon gibi nedenlerle diş tedavi merkezlerine başvurmaktadırlar. Bu merkezlerdeki acil hastalara yaklaşım yetersiz kalabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuk ve yetişkinler arasında meydana gelen acil diş şikayetlerinin sıklığını belirlemek ve acil tedavi için gerekli yaklaşım ve gereksinimleri belirlemektir.Bireyler ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Dişhekimliği Fakültesi, Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi A.D. ve Çocuk Diş Hekimliği A.D.' ye başvuran 384 hasta üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Değerlendirme, yapılandırılmış bir anket kullanılarak, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle, 221 yetişkin hasta ve 163 pediyatrik hastanın ebeveynleri üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler SPSS 17.0 programı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Analitik karşılaştırmalar Ki-kare testi ile yapılmıştır.Bulgular: Ebeveynlerin % 60.7'i son bir yıl içinde çocuklarının en az bir kez acil diş şikayeti olduğunu belirtmiştir. En sık acil şikayeti (% 54.5) ağrı olup, bu durumda ebeveynlerin % 48.5'i ağızdan ilaç verdiklerini belirtmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan erişkin hastaların % 63.8'i son bir yıl içinde acil diş şikayeti olduğunu belirtmiş ve en sık acil şikayeti yine ağrı olarak belirlenmiştir (% 46.8). Erişkin hastaların % 38.3'i bu durumda ağızdan ilaç aldığını, % 35.5'i hiçbir şey yapmadığını belirtmiştir.Sonuçlar: Diş hekimliği pratiğinde acil diş şikayetleri oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir. Acil diş şikayeti bulunan hastalara gerekli ve yeterli ilginin gösterilebilmesi için bu birimlerin sayısının arttırılması, hastaya daha çok zaman ve ekipman sağlanması oldukça önemlidir
