Abstract
Tooth brushing, diet, preventive procedures and periodical dentist control constitute the basis of oral and dental health. Early childhood is the most appropriate period to gain these habits. The aim of this study was to assess the oral and dental health status of 4186 patients in the age group of 6 to 11, who were admitted to the Center of Dental Sciences of Gülhane Military Medical Academy in 2002. A total of 4186 patients, 2019 male and 2167 female, were assessed for periodontal status and occlusive disorders according to Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN), and for dental caries according to the index of DMF-T and dmf-t (D-d: decay, M-m: missing, F-f: filling, T-t: total, DMF-T: permanent dentition, dmf-t: primary dentition). The prevalence of caries in the whole population was 71.2%, whereas 9.2% of the cases demonstrated codes 1 and 2 of Commu-nity Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs, which are the codes indicative of gingival inflammation. Results of the present study confirm the hypothesis that dental treatment needs towards the correction of dental and oral health problems should begin at an age as early as six.

Key words: Prevelance of caries, dental caries, epidemiology, oral and dental health



Altı-onbir yaş grubu çocukların ağız-diş sağlığı yönünden değerlendirilmesi

Özet
Diş fırçalama, diyet, koruyucu uygulamalar ve periyodik hekim kontrolü, ağız ve diş sağlığının temelini oluşturmaktadır. Erken çocukluk dönemi, tüm bu alışkanlıkların kazandırılmasında en uygun zaman dilimidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, GATA Diş Hekimliği Bilimleri Merkezi Başkanlığı'na 2002 yılında başvuran ve 6-11 yaş grubunda yer alan 4186 hastanın ağız ve diş sağlığının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu amaçla, 2019'u erkek, 2167'si kız toplam 4186 hasta, toplum periodontal tedavi ihtiyacı indeksine göre periodontal durum ve oklüzal bozukluk ve ayrıca DMF-T ve dmf-t indeksine (D-d: çürük, M-m: çekilmiş, F-f: dolgu, T-t:toplam, DMF-T: daimi dişlenme, dmf-t: süt dişlenmesi) göre diş çürükleri yönünden değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm popülasyonda, DMF-T ve dmf-t indeksine göre çürük prevalansı %71.2 olarak bulunurken, toplum periodontal tedavi ihtiyacı indeksine göre dişeti inflamasyonunun göstergesi olan kod 1 ve kod 2 alan bireylerin oranı, %9.2 idi. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, çocuklarda ağız sorunlarının düzeltilmesine yönelik tedavi ihtiyacının altı yaş gibi erken bir yaşta başladığı hipotezini desteklemektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Çürük sıklığı, diş çürüğü, epidemiyoloji, ağız ve diş sağlığı
