Abstract

Aım: The purpose of this study; is the assessment of attitudes of parents in two different socio-economic classes about the school-based topical fluoride application programme which carried out by the Ministry of Health. Materıals and Method: Parents of 1st and 2nd grade children who completed 60 months at Bayrampaşa Elementary School and ITU Development Foundation Schools included to the study. The data obtained using the questionnaire and than were evaluated. Results: Parents of the 60 children in the public school 68% (n=41), gave permission for their children to apply topical fluoride in school, while 43% (n=30) of the 70parents in the private school. Sixteen of the parents (n=3) of the children (n=19) who didn’t allow the application of topical fluoride in the public school stated that they were not adequately informed about the application, 26,3% (n=5) of them didn’t think it was done in the appropriate environment and 26,3% (n=5) of them think that fluoride is toxic. Five (n=2) of the parents of the children (n=40) who didn’t allow the application of topical fluoride in the private school stated that they were not adequately informed about the application, 22,5% (n=9)of them did not think it was done in the appropriate environment and 42,5% (n=17) of them think that fluoride is toxic. Conclusion: In countries where oral and dental health problems are common, topical fluoride applications play an important role in community oral health programs and preventive dentistry. It has become necessary to inform the parents in detail about preventive practices, which have an important place in the community dental health improvement programs.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafındanyürütülen “Okullarda Florürlü Vernik Uygulaması”programına dahil edilen, sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi farklıolan iki okulda, velilerin bu uygulama ve genel olaraktopikal florür uygulamaları hakkındaki tutum veyaklaşımlarının değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Bayrampaşa İlköğretimOkulu ve İTÜ Geliştirme Vakfı Okullarında eğitim alan, 60ayını doldurmuş anaokulu, 1. Sınıf ve 2. Sınıf çocuklarınınvelileri dahil edildi. Veliler için hazırlanan anket formukullanılarak elde edilen veriler değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Devlet okulundaki 60 velinin %68’i (n=41) çocuklarınaokulda topikal florür verniği uygulaması yapılmasınaizin verirken, özel okuldaki 70 veliden %43’ü (n=30)çocuklarına okulda uygulama yapılmasına izin vermiştir.Devlet okulunda topikal florür verniği uygulanmasına izinvermeyen 19 velinin %15,8’i (n=3) uygulama hakkındayeterince bilgilendirilmediğini, %26,3’ü (n=5) uygulamanınuygun ortamda yapıldığını düşünmediğini, %26,3’ü(n=5) ise florürün zararlı olduğunu düşündüğünü bildirmiştir.Özel okulda topikal florür verniği uygulamasınınyapılmasına izin vermeyen 40 velinin %5’i (n=2)uygulama hakkında yeterince bilgilendirilmediğini, %22,5’i(n=9) uygulamanın uygun ortamda yapıldığınıdüşünmediğini, %42,5’i (n=17) florürün zararlı olduğunudüşündüğünü bildirmiştir.Sonuç: Ağız ve diş sağlığı problemlerinin yaygın olduğuülkelerde, toplum ağız diş sağlığı programlarında vekoruyucu diş hekimliğinde topikal florür uygulamalarıönemli rol oynamaktadır. Toplum ağız diş sağlığını geliştirmeprogramları kapsamında önemli yeri olan koruyucuuygulamalar hakkında velilerin detaylı bir şekilde bilgilendirilmelerigerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır.
