Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in two randomly selected schools in the residential areas populated predominantly by families with mid-and-low socioeconomic levels. A total of 586 children, 275 girls, and 365 boys with a mean age of 8.95 ± 0.8 participated in the study. Number of decayed, missing due to caries, and filled teeth in the permanent dentition/number of decayed and filled teeth in the primary dentition (DMFT/dft) and visible pulpal involvement (P/p), ulceration caused by dislocated tooth fragments (U/u), fistula (F/f) and abscess (A/a) (PUFA)/pufa indices are included in the clinical examination section of the study. Obtained data were analyzed with SPSS (IBM Corp. 2013, IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0. Armonk, NY). Results: Our research revealed a DMFT score of 2.43 ± 1.7, dft 4.12 ± 2.7, pufa 0.75 ±1.2, PUFA 0.05± 0.24, a caries frequency of 96.1, PUFA/pufa frequency of 40.9, and untreated caries PUFA/pufa ratio was found as 13.3%. A significant difference with positive correlation was found between d and pufa scores ( P < .01). Increasing DMFT, decayed, missing, and filled surfaces (DMFS) in the permanent dentition, and decreasing dft, decayed, and filled surfaces (dfs) in the primary dentition, and pufa scores with the age increment were found to be significant ( P < .05). Conclusion: The frequency of soft tissue damage associated with untreated caries, caries index scores, and frequency of dental caries was found to be quite high in the study population consisting of children belonging to families with similar socioeconomic status.

Bu calismanin amaci; Erzurum ilinde 4-6 yas grubu cocuklarda oral saglik durumunu arastirmak, ECC’nin frekansini ortaya koymaktir. Gerec ve yontem: Calismamizda, Erzurum ilinde farkli sosyo-ekonomik duzeye sahip ailelerin cocuklarinin gittigi okul oncesi egitim kurumlarindan 4-6 yas grubu 202 cocugun agiz ici muayeneleri yapilmistir. Bulgular: dmf-t indeksi, curuk frekansi ve restoratif indeks degerleri sirasiyla; kizlarda 3,2±3,78, 62, 2,8 ve erkeklerde 4±3,65, 78,2, 6,7 olarak belirlenmistir. Calismamizda 100 cocuk basina dusen kayip sut disi sayisi, ortalama defs ve defs indeksi sirasiyla 0,76, 6,31±8,66 ve 7,3 olarak kaydedilmistir. Yapilan degerlendirmelerde cinsiyetler arasinda istatistiksel olarak anlamli bir farklilik bulunmamistir. Yas gruplari arasinda ise, sadece restoratif indeks ve uygulanmasi gereken tedavi indeksinde yapilan ki-kare analizi sonucu anlamli bir farklilik gozlenmistir (p<0,001). Sonuc: 6 yas grubu icin, Dunya Saglik Orgutu’nun 2020 yilinda ongordugu %50 curuksuzluk yuzdesi oranini yakalayabilmek amaciyla oral hijyen egitimi ve fircalama aliskanliginin daha erken yaslarda verilmesi gerekliligi ortaya konulmustur.

Bu calismanin amaci, bu bilinci saglamakla yukumlu olan Tip ve Dis Hekimligi Fakultesi ogrencilerinin agiz-dis sagligi bilgi duzeylerini belirlemek ve saptanan eksikliklerin giderilmesine yonelik calisma yapilmasina yardimci olmaktir. Yontem: Tanimlayici tipteki bu arastirmaya, Erzurum Ataturk Universitesi Tip ve Dis Hekimligi Fakultesi’nde klinikte aktif olarak calisan 247 ogrenci katilmistir. Veriler katilimcilara ait demografik ozellikler ve agiz-dis sagligi bilgi duzeyini olcen anket formu araciligiyla toplanmistir. Bulgular: Arastirmaya katilan ogrencilerin %55.9’u erkek, yas ortalamasi 24.7±1.9 yildir; %46.2’i dis hekimligi, %53.8’i tip fakultesi ogrencisidir. Tip fakultesi ogrencilerinin agiz dis sagligi ile ilgili sorulara dogru yanit verme orani %4.5-%66.9 arasinda degisirken, dis hekimligi fakultesi ogrencileri icin bu oran %29.8-%97.4 idi. Dis hekimligi ve tip fakultesi ogrencilerinin bilgi duzeyinde anlamli farklilik bulunmustur (p<0.05). Sonuc: Dis hekimi adayi olan ogrencilerin agiz-dis sagligi bilgilerinin genel olarak yeterli olmasina karsin tip hekimi adaylarinin temel bilgiler konusunda dahi yeterli duzeyde olmadiklari gorulmustur. Bu nedenle tip fakultelerinin mezuniyet oncesi egitimine agiz-dis sagligi konularinin eklenmesi yararli olacaktir.

Materials-Methods: Twenty-five caries-free primary second molars were used. The occlusal surfaces were prepared by cutting enamel and dentin perpendicular to the tooth axis 1 mm above the pulp horn. Teeth were randomly divided into five groups. Except the control groups G-1(Phosphoric acid+Futura Bond+ Glasiosite) the teeth were contaminated with ferric sulfate. Other groups were formed as follows: G-2 (Phosphoric acid+Futura Bond+Glasiosite), G-3 (Maleic Acid+Futura Bond+Glasiosite), G-4 (Citric Acid+Futura Bond+Glasiosite) and G-5 (Futura Bond+Glasiosite). Teeth were sectioned as bar-shaped specimens and subjected to microtensile bond strength testing. μTBS data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests, and the frequency of fracture modes was compared using Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: G-5 presented the minimum μTBS value, while G-3 presented the maximum. The difference between the groups was found statistically significant (P G-4=G-2=G-1>G-5. When fracture modes were compared, no statistically significant difference was found (P>0.05). Conclusion: As a pulpotomy agent, ferric sulfate is recommended to be used with a combination of selfetching primers and different acid types.
