Maintaining the deciduous teeth in the mouth until the time of physiological exfoliation is of great importance for the health of the permanent dentition. Root canal treatment, also called pulpectomy, performed in cases of inflammation or necrosis of the deciduous teeth pulp, is indicated as a successful method to preserve the tooth functionally. Conventional pulpectomy procedure is performed with stainless steel files, however, the low elasticity of these files may cause undesirable canal shapes and the timetaking treatment period may lead to deterioration of the patient's cooperation, especially in pedodontics. Ni-Ti rotary instrument systems eliminate these disadvantages and provide better quality canal fillings in a shorter duration. The present article reviewed the studies that are comparing the traditional stainless steel files and Ni-Ti rotating instrument for the root canal treatment of deciduous teeth.
In this research, it was aimed to evaluate the awareness and concerns of patients applying to the faculty of dentistry about the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine their thoughts and concerns about dental treatment during the pandemic period. The questionnaire included questions about personal demographic characteristics, concern, awareness and knowledge level related to COVID-19 disease, and also questioned their need for oral and dental health services and to what extent these needs were met. This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 517 patients. Of the patients, 44.9% knew both the symptoms of COVID-19 and prevention methods of COVID-19. The level of knowledge was higher in; females (64.7%) than males (35.3%), university graduates (57.3%) than middle and high school graduates. Those who were concerned about getting coronavirus had a significantly higher rate of hesitation about coming to dental treatment during this period compared to those who were not concerned (p<0.05). The majority of patients believed that the healthcare facility could prevent coronavirus transmission and 80.5% thought they could be infected from other patients in the waiting room. This study provides us important information about access to safe oral dental health services and the awareness and concern of dental patients.
Diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin diğer bölümlere göre daha depresif, anksiyetik ve stresli olduğu yapılan araştırmalarda gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Pedodonti Pratiğinde Stres (PPS) ölçeğini geliştirmektir. Bu çalışmaya, 2018-2019 ve 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yıllarında İnönü Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi pedodonti kliniğinde staj yapan 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencileri dâhil edilmiştir. Pedodonti kliniğinde stres kaynağı olabilecek faktörler, uzman görüşleri de alınarak kategorize edilmiş ve 4 alt boyutlu 29 maddeden oluşan PPS ölçeği geliştirilmiştir. Formun geçerliliğini belirlemek için Açıklayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizleri (DFA) ve kapsam geçerlilik indeksi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Ölçek güvenilirliği; Cronbach α iç tutarlık kat sayısı, madde toplam korelasyonu, test-tekrar test analizi ile test edilmiştir. PPS ölçeği için DFA uyum indeksi değerleri istenilen aralıkta, Cronbach α güvenilirlik katsayısı 0,915 bulunmuştur. PPS ölçeğinin pedodonti kliniklerinde oluşabilecek stresi değerlendirmek için yararlanabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu belirlenmiştir. PPS ölçeğinin kullanımı ile pedodonti kliniklerinde stres oluşturarak; hekimin verimliliği, hastanın uyumu ve dolayısıyla tedavinin etkinliğini dahi etkileyebilecek stres faktörlerinin belirlenmesi mümkün olabilecektir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
