Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı diş hekimliğinde bitkisel ürün kullanımı hakkında hastaların farkındalık ve bilgi düzeyini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız 2020 yılında Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi Kliniğine başvuran toplam 200 hasta üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Veriler anket formları kullanılarak toplandı ve hastaların bitkisel ürün kullanım düzeyleri, fitoterapiye yönelik tutumları ve genel görüşleri değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Ağız ve diş sağlığı için kullanılan bitkisel ürünlerin diğer hastalıkların önlenmesi veya tedavisinde kullanılan bitkisel ürünlere göre daha düşük düzeylerde olduğu tespit edildi. Hastalar ağız ve diş sağlığına yönelik bu ürünleri daha çok ağız kokusu ve yaraları için tercih etmişlerdir. Ağız sağlığı için en çok kullanılan bitkiler sırasıyla nane, karanfil, kekik ve karadut olarak belirlendi.Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, hastaların bitkisel ürünleri kullanmaya istekli olduklarını göstermektedir. Bu sonuç, diş hekimlerinin fitoterapiyi tedavi protokollerine entegre etmelerinin faydalı olacağını göstermektedir.
