Abstract

The aim of the present study is to investigate fissure sealant usage frequency, and the attitudes toward and use of sealants by general dentists in İzmir. 526 dentists filled out a questionnaire with 21 questions. Questionnaire findings were evaluated statistically by percentage and chi-square analysis. 15.2% of dentists reported that they use fissure sealant routinely. The primary factor to avoid them to apply fissure sealant was the parents budget (28%). 43.7% dentist claimed that they inform their patients and families about fissure sealants and only 8.9% reported that the patients requested a fissure sealants treatment.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, İzmir'de çalışan dişhekimlerinin fissür örtücü kullanma sıklığını, fissür örtücü kullanımı ile ilgili bilgi ve görüşlerini değerlendirmektir. Çalışmaya 21 adet soru bulunan anket formunu dolduran beşyüzyirmialtı dişhekimi katılmıştır. Anket formları yüzde olarak ve Khi-kare testi ile istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir.Değerlendirme sonucunda, dişhekimlerinin " %15:2'sinin fissür örtücü uygulamasını rutin olarak kullandığı belirlendi. Dişhekimlerinin fissür örtücüyü rutin olarak kullanmama nedenlerinin başında, çocuğun ailesinin yapılan tedaviyi anlamadığı ve görmediği bir tedaviye para ödemek istememesi gelmekteydi (%28). Fissür örtücü uygulamasıyla ile ilgili çocuk hastalarını ve dolayısıyla ailelerini bilgilendirme yapan dişhekimi oranı %43.7 olarak saptanırken, hastalarından dişhekimlerine fissür örtücü uygulanmasına yönelik talep oranı ise %8.9 olarak tespit edildi. Khi-kare analiz sonuçlan, mezuniyet tarihinin dişhekimlerinin rutin olarak fissür örtücü uygulamalarını istatistiksel olarak önemli derecede etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır (p
