“…In addition, this study included 450 dentists, while other similar studies had a significantly smaller sample: Habib et al 74 dentists from Saudi Arabia ( 5 ), Madan et al 255 dentists from India ( 6 ), Wagle et al 195 dentists from Nepal ( 7 ) and Zadik et al 40 dental surgeons from Israel ( 8 ). Some other research such as the research conducted by Cebeci et al ( 9 ), Folayan et al ( 10 ), Yao et al ( 11 ), Peker and Alkurt ( 12 ) included dental students, but they were not included in our study.…”

Objectives Dentists provide dental care to their patients and educate them on their oral hygiene and how to maintain oral health. This paper aimed to determine whether dentists are hypocritical when advising their patients on oral hygiene procedures and dental treatments because they do not apply to themselves what they recommend to others. Material and methods This is a self-reported study conducted through an online survey questionnaire completed by 1001 participants, of whom 551 were non-dentists and 450 dentists. This is the first study on oral hygiene habits and oral status among dentists in Croatia. This research included almost 10% of the total number of working dentists in Croatia. Results In terms of dental hygiene habits, dentists brushed, flossed and used interdental brushes more frequently, and they also changed toothbrushes more frequently, whereas they attended check-ups less frequently. Dentists also reported a smaller number of teeth with cavities, a greater number of teeth with fillings, a greater number of extracted teeth, and a greater number of dental crowns, but a smaller number of healthy teeth compared to general population. However, dentists had a much higher proportion of participants over 30 years of age, and when sub-analysis of participants over 30 years of age was performed, dentists had a greater number of healthy teeth compared to the general population. Conclusions The results showed that dentists are aware of the importance of their oral health and that they do not pay attention only to their oral hygiene habits, but also apply advice they give their patients. Therefore, they cannot be considered hypocritical.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimliği eğitiminin öğrencilerin ağız sağlığı ve beslenme alışkanlıkları üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi'nde 1.,2.,3.,4. ve 5. sınıflarda eğitim görmekte olan toplam 305 öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilere, demografik, ağız sağlığı alışkanlıkları ile ilgili sorular sorulmuştur. Ayrıca, Wilhom İndeksi (Wİ) kullanılarak beslenme alışkanlıklarıyla ilgili sorular sorulmuş ve Wİ puanları elde edilmiştir. Veriler, Kruskall-Wallis ve Ki-Kare testleri ile analiz edilmiştir (p<0,05) Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, eğitim süreci öğrencilerin diş fırçalama sıklığı, diş ipi ve ara yüz fırçası kullanması üzerinde olumlu etki göstermiştir (p<0,05). Sigara içme alışkanlığı, 4.ve 5.sınıflarda sırasıyla %30.7 ve % 30.1 oranları ile eğitimin ilk üç yılına göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). WI puanları değerlendirildiğinde ise 4.ve 5.sınıflarda 40 puanın altında alan öğrencilerin sayısının ilk üç yılda eğitim gören öğrencilere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Diş hekimliği eğitim süreci, öğrencilerin ağız sağlığı ile ilgili alışkanlıkları üzerinde olumlu bir etki göstermektedir. Ancak, eğitimin öğrencilerin sigara ve beslenme alışkanlıkları üzerine etkisinin daha düşük olduğu düşünülebilir.

Objective: To compare personal oral hygiene practices between first and final year dental students of Foundation University College of Dentistry (FUCD). Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Foundation University College of Dentistry, Islamabad, from Mar to May 2019. Methodology: A pre-structured questionnaire was distributed to students of first and final year BDS classes with questions related to seven basic oral hygiene practices. These included frequency of teeth cleaning, time spent in cleaning teeth, tools used for cleaning teeth, frequency of changing toothbrushes, use of secondary plaque control methods, whether or not students cleaned their tongue, and how often they visited a dentist. Results: Only 2 out of 7 practices, (i.e. more frequency of brushing, 45/52 (86.5% in final year vs 25/47 (53.1% infirst year and usage of floss 22/52 (42.3%) in final year vs 9/47 (19.1%) in first year) were found to be significantly better in final year students when compared to first year BDS students with a p-value of 0.012 and 0.04 respectively. The remaining differences did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: When compared with first year BDS students, only 2 out of 7recommended oral hygiene practiceswere found to be better in final year students. Therefore, there is a need for greater emphasis on oral hygienepractices at undergraduate educational years.
