Öğe ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF ORAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOURS OF MOTHERS ON ORAL HEALTH OF PRESCHOOL 4-6 YEARS OLD CHILDREN(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Mohamed, Anas Omer Abdelbagi; Ergor, Gul; Kilinc, GulserPurpose: Pre-school child health has always been one of the most important milestones for lifelong health research. Also, the knowledge and behaviour of the parents, especially mothers, affects children's health. The variable household-related factors and mothers, in particular, are considered to be the main role models that can improve pre-school children behaviour. To determine the knowledge and behaviours of the mothers and their impact on pre-school 4-6 years old children oral health status. Material and Methods: A 27 subjects' questionnaire was prepared using previous questionnaires assessing mothers' knowledge and behaviours towards oral health. Children's oral and dental health was examined by the researcher and scores were calculated using dmft (decayed, missing, filled, tooth) index. Accordingly, the effect of knowledge and behaviour of the mothers on their children dmft score was analysed. Chi-Square and logistic regression tests were used in the statistical analysis. Results: The study population consisted of 261 pre-school children and their mothers. Which included 126 males (48.3%) males and 135 females (51.7%). The mean mothers' oral health knowledge score was found to be 4.24 & PLUSMN; 1.94. The children oral health examination through dmft scoring showed that 71.3% of children had experienced dental caries. the mean value for dmft score was 2.32 & PLUSMN; 2.39. Our study showed that the mother's cumulative oral health knowledge score has a statistically significant relationship to the children oral health status. The higher the mother's oral health knowledge scores the lower their children dmft scores (p=0.001). Conclusion: Mothers oral health knowledge and dental health indices in our study are lagging behind the developed countries and the WHO goal for the 21st century showing an urgent need to improve the effectiveness of preventive care in oral health programmes.Öğe Evaluation of children's dental anxiety levels at a kindergarten and at a dental clinic(Sociedade Brasileira De Pesquisa Odontologica, 2016) Kilinc, Gulser; Akay, Aynur; Eden, Ece; Sevinc, Nilgun; Ellidokuz, HulyaThis study evaluated the dental anxiety levels of preschool children at a kindergarten and at a dental clinic. The anxiety levels of ninety 4-6-year-old (4.99 +/- 0.81) preschool children were evaluated according to pulse rates, the facial image scale (FIS), the Venham picture test (VPT), and the Frankl behavior rating scale. The children's mothers were asked to complete the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) forms 1 and 2 (STAI 2 and STAI 2). The sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson's correlation test were used. A statistically significant difference was observed between the children's pulse rates when measured at the dental clinic and those when measured at the kindergarten (p < 0.001). Although the results were not statistically significant, more negative facial expressions were observed in the children at the dental clinic than in those at the kindergarten when assessed using FIS and VPT (p = 0.090 and p = 0.108, respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between the transient anxiety levels (STAI 1) of mothers and the VPT scores of their children evaluated at the dental clinic (r = 0.506, p < 0.001). The continuous anxiety level of the mothers of males was found to be significantly higher (p = 0.033) than that of the mothers of females (STAI 2). Although the children had been informed about dentistry and were introduced to a dentist at the kindergarten, their anxiety levels seemingly increased as they arrived at the dental clinic. The significant increase observed in the children's pulse rates was a physical indicator that their anxiety levels had increased. It can be concluded that the children felt more anxious at the dental clinic that at the kindergarten.Öğe Long-term Dental Anomalies after Pediatric Cancer Treatment in Children(Galenos Yayincilik, 2019) Kilinc, Gulser; Bulut, Gulcin; Ertugrul, Fahinur; Oren, Hale; Demirag, Bengu; Demiral, Ayse; Aksoylar, Serap; Kernel, Emine Serra; Ellidokuz, Hulya; Olgun, NurObjective: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of dental anomalies (DAs) (microdontia, hypodontia, hyperdontia, enamel defect, root malformation) in pediatric cancer patients at the ages <5 years and between 5 and 7 years, and understand their relationship with the received therapy. Materials and Methods: Pediatric patients who were diagnosed with cancer and treated before the age of 7 years were investigated in a case-control design. The study included 93 pediatric patients whose ages at diagnosis were between 9 months and 7 years and whose treatments were completed before 5-8 years. Group A consisted of patients in the age range of 9 months to 4 years and Group B consisted of patients in the age range of 5-7 years. Seventy-two siblings with compatible dental age ranges were included in the control group. For both groups, intraoral examinations were performed and panoramic radiographs were taken. Results: Among the 93 pediatric patients, the mean age was 9.54 +/- 1.25 (range: 8-13 years) and 48 (51.6%) patients were male. The most common diagnosis was hematologic malignancy with a rate of 65.5%. At least one DA was detected in 7 (9.7%) individuals of the control group and in 78 (83.9%) of the patient group. While the patients in the study group had all kinds of DAs, those in the control group had only enamel defects. The rates of microdontia (p=0.077) and hypodontia (p=0.058) were detected to be significantly higher in Group A than in Group B. Root malformation was more common in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy than in those receiving only chemotherapy (p=0.006). Conclusion: In this study it was found that the pediatric patients who received cancer treatment before the age of 7 years constituted a high-risk group for DAs. The frequencies of microdontia and hypodontia were increased even more when the patient was treated for cancer before 5 years of age.Öğe The Prevelance of Tobacco Use and the Factors Influencing in Students Studying at Two Dentistry Faculties in Turkey(Bilimsel Tip Publishing House, 2016) Kilinc, Gulser; Bolgul, Behiye Sezgin; Aksoy, Gokhan; Gunay, TurkanOBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine the pattern and effects of tobacco and tobacco products use among students of dentistry. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross sectional study was performed in the Dentistry Faculty of Ege and Dicle Universities between April and May 2013. All freshmen and senior year students receiving education in both universities were included into the study (n=321). A questionnaire consisting of 26 questions was used to determine the smoking habits of the students and the influencing factors regarding this habit. Students replied the questions under supervision. RESULTS: A survey was conducted among 298 students out of 321 who were attending both universities. 46.6% of the participants were female and 53.4% were male. Smoking prevelance of the students was 29.9%. It was 19.9% in freshmen students and 45.8% in senior students. According to the first class of students in the fifth grade students in the prevalence of smoking in was found to be highly statistically significant (p<0.001). Among other tobacco products the following was identified as mostly used: waterpipe, also known as narghile (27.4%), cigarwraps (9.7%), cigar (9.4%) and smoking pipe (2.0%). While 22.5% of the students stated that they started smoking after the age of 15, 36.0% started between the ages of 15 and 18 and 41.5% after the age of 19. The rate of smoking in the house was significantly higher (p<0.001) among smokers than non-smokers. While 78.7% of the students stated that they would like to quit, 64.3% tried once or more to quit. CONCLUSION: Smoking habit was found to be higher among medical students than the social average. Smoking is more frequent in higher classes. From early years onwards, students of dentistry should be intensively educated regarding the harmful effects of tobacco on health, and efforts should be made to prevent and control of tobacco epidemic.Öğe SALIVARY PRO-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES AND SALIVARY BACTERIAL CHALLENGE EFFECT ON DENTAL CARIES: A CLINICO-MOLECULAR CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY (vol 1, pg 77, 2020)(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2022) Pakdemirli, Ahu; Kocal, Gizem Calibasi; Kilinc, Gulser; Daskin, Ezgi; Kemaloglu, Hande; Basbinar, Yasemin; Ellidokuz, Hulya[No Abstract Available]
