Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate possible early child-hood caries (ECC) risk indicators in preschoolers who appliedfor examination/treatment at the Government University Pedi-atric Dentistry Clinic, İstanbul, Turkey.Material and Methods: Children aged 36-71 months and theirmothers who applied for examination/treatment and consentedwere enrolled in this cross-sectional survey during a 3-month pe-riod. Mother-child pairs were examined intraorally, and cariesexperience was recorded using (dmft/DMFT) an index. A struc-tured questionnaire inquiring oral hygiene habits and diet his-tory of the children was employed to interview the mothers. Cat-egorical data from children with no clinical caries (NC), ECC,Severe ECC (S-ECC) were compared using Chi-square test andcorrelation of caries experience in mother-child pairs and weretested with Spearman rho. Statistical significance was set p

Özet

Amaç: İstanbul İlindeki bir Devlet Üniversitesi Pedodonti klini- ğine başvuran çocuklarda erken çocukluk çağı çürüğü (ECC) risk faktörlerinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya 3 aylık süre içinde muayene/ te- davi edilen ve katılım için onam veren 36-71 ay arası çocuklar ve anneleri dahil edildi. Anne ve çocukların ağız içi muayeneleri yapılıp çürük durumu (d/D: çürük, m/M: eksik, f/F: dolgulu) dmf- t/DMF- T indeksleri ile belirlendi. Çocukların beslenme, ve ağız hijyen alışkanlıkları anket ile görüşme şeklinde kayde- dildi. Çürüksüz (NC), ECC ve Şiddetli ECC (S- ECC) olarak belirlenen çocuklar arası kategorik verilerin karşılaştırılması Ki- kare testi, anne- çocuk çiftlerinde çürük indeksleri arasındaki ilişki Spearman korelasyon testi ile değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p
