Intentional replantation is an alternative for the treatment of advanced periodontal destruction of the anterior teeth. Systemically healthy three female patient was referred to our clinic with functional complaints. Diagnosis were chronic periodontitis and class III mobility was noted at the mandibular incisors with complete periodontal attachment loss. After phase I periodontal treatment periodontally involved teeth were extracted, endodontic treatment accomplished, the teeth were replanted and fixed to its place with fiber reinforced composite splint. At the end of 2 years tooth was in function with alveolar bone gain. Intentional replantation provided long-term maintenance of patient’s own teeth.
Amaç: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilen, koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), ortaya çıkışı ve hızlı yayılımıyla birlikte toplum genelinde özellikle de yüksek risk taşıdıkları için sağlık çalışanlarında, korku ve kaygıya neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; COVID-19 pandemisinin ülkemizde uzmanlık eğitimi gören diş hekimleri üzerindeki korku ve anksiyete düzeylerine etkisinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya diş hekimliğinde uzmanlık eğitimi almakta olan 164 diş hekimi dahil edildi. Bireylerin sosyodemografik verileri, korku ve anksiyete seviyeleri, çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak kaydedildi. Katılımcıların COVID-19'un neden olduğu korku seviyelerini ölçmek amacıyla COVID-19 Korku Ölçeği kullanıldı. Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği ile bireylerin COVID-19'a bağlı olarak gelişen anksiyete düzeyleri belirlendi. Veriler, SPSS paket programıyla değerlendirilerek, p<0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Bireylerdeki COVID-19'un neden olduğu total anksiyete ve korku düzeyleri değerlendirildiğinde, kadın bireylerin erkek bireylere kıyasla daha yüksek anksiyete ve korkuya sahip olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). Korku ölçeğinin "Korona virüsten çok korkuyorum" sorusuna kadınların %71,7'si, erkeklerin ise %14,6'sı korkuyorum yanıtını verdi (p<0,05). Dahası, kadınların %89,5'i sosyal medyada koronavirüs ile ilgili haberleri izlerken gerildiğini ya da endişelendiğini belirtirken, erkeklerin %41,9'u haberlerden etkilenmediğini bildirdi (p<0,05). Uzmanlık alanlarıyla korku ve anksiyete seviyeleri arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildiğinde, COVID-19 pandemisinin cerrahi alanında eğitim gören diş hekimlerinde daha az anksiyete ve korkuya neden olduğu gözlendi (p<0,05). Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi diş hekimliği uzmanlık öğrencilerinde korku ve anksiyeteye neden olmaktadır. Bu süreç kadın uzmanlık öğrencilerini erkek öğrencilere kıyasla daha fazla etkilemiştir. İlaveten, daha az aeresollü işlem yapılan uzmanlık alanlarındaki öğrenciler hastalığa yakalanma insidansları daha düşük olduğu için, koronavirüse bağlı daha az anksiyete ve korku deneyimlemektedirler.
Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause stress, anxiety, and fear, especially in healthcare workers as it has a high risk of transmission. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic among dentists working in our country. Methodology: The study included 164 dentists. Sociodemographic data and the stress and anxiety levels of the individuals who participated in the study were recorded. The COVID-19 Stress Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale-10 were used for evaluation of the stress levels, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 was used to evaluate the anxiety levels. All data were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results: Among those who participated in the study, 112 were women and 52 were men, and 50% of them were 20 to 30 years of age. Based on the information these dentists provided, 63% did not have any expertise and 66% had worked in the normalization process. Their scores in the COVID-19 Stress Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale 7, and Perceived Stress Scale-10 were 64.4 ± 25.2, 5.46 ± 4.8, and 18.8 ± 5.9, respectively, and there was a positive correlation between all scales. When evaluating the stress levels according to gender, it was observed that those of the female dentists were higher than those of the male dentists (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the anxiety levels between the male and female dentists. While there were no significant differences between the dentists who worked during the pandemic process and those who did not work (p > 0.05), the COVID-19 stress levels were found to be lower in the normalization process (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused stress and anxiety in dentists and has affected female dentists more than male dentists. In addition, working during the pandemic process can benefit dentists by helping to reduce the stress caused by the pandemic. How to cite this article: Öncü E, Dinçer NN, Uçan Yarkaç F, Tekin Atay Ü.
