The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a basic first aid course given at the Faculty of Dentistry of a university. Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of the study consisted of students (N=67) who took the Basic First Aid elective course at the Faculty of Dentistry of a university in the 2023-2024 academic year. 'Socio-Demographic Form' and 'Basic First Aid Knowledge Questionnaire' developed by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and chi-square test in paired groups were used. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 18.98±1.46 years, 56.7% were female and 65 of them (97%) were single. In the post-training period, the correct response rates of the students to the questions related to first aid increased. The highest increases in the correct response rates were observed in the answers given to questions related to bleeding, loss of consciousness disorders, fractures, burns and sprains (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, students who receive first aid training will act more calmly and confidently in emergency situations and intervene correctly. Therefore, first aid training should be compulsory in the curricula of dental faculties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Meta-analysis is a statistical method that allows reaching a general conclusion by combining the results of studies. In dentistry, universal adhesives can be used in two application modes: etch&rinse and self-etch. However, there are no definitive results regarding which application technique universal adhesives are more successful. The study aimed to provide information about the meta-analysis and to make a meta-analysis application on the clinical performance of universal adhesives. Material and Method: Fifteen studies evaluating the clinical performance of universal adhesives with modified USPHS criteria were selected as material according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 29.0 package program. The Egger regression test and funnel plot were used to estimate publication bias. The heterogeneity was evaluated using Cohran's Q test and I2 statistics. The fixed effect model was used in general effect size calculations because there was no heterogeneity. Results: It was determined that there was no publication bias among the studies included in the meta-analysis (p>0.05). The heterogenicity was not detected (p>0.05). The average effect size for marginal coloration was 0.136 (p=0.790); 0.027 for marginal adaptation (p=0.958); 0.927 for retention (p=0.009); 0.091 for fracture (p=0.856); 0.204 for sensitivity (p=0.689); for caries, it was found to be 0.127 (p=0.803). Conclusions: It can be said that there is no difference between the use of universal adhesives in etch&rinse and self-etch application mode according to the criteria of marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, fracture, sensitivity, and caries. However, there is a difference according to the retention criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder with serious complications. Considering the association of untreated OSA with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, some types of cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, early diagnosis is clinically vital for this disease. Polysomnography (PSG) is the most definitive approach to detect OSA, but it requires expert technical service, is considered a costly procedure, and is not readily available. Thus, simpler and inexpensive screening tools are necessary. There is a growing interest in the use of portable home sleep apnea testing devices for the diagnosis of OSA in recent years, but the efficacy of evaluation and testing with these portable devices is still debatable. Considering the high cost of PSG, which is the most reliable method for OSA diagnosis, an approach with lower cost and high sensitivity to detect OSA is required. The head and neck region and oral cavity enclose clinical parameters associated with OSA, which may enable dental practitioners to play an important role in referring patients at risk of OSA to clinics for early diagnosis. In the present review, the risk factors of OSA are evaluated with clinical findings, many clinical and radiological parameters associated with OSA in the head and neck region are presented together with current literature information, and the auxiliary diagnostic methods that can be utilized by dental practitioners to determine the risk of OSA are presented.

Introduction: Inappropriately prescribed antibiotics accelerate the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This circumstance creates a problematic situation in terms of public health. This study aims to measure dentists' antibiotic/prophylaxis knowledge and awareness of antibiotic resistance in Turkey based on two case scenarios. Materials Methods: Dentists in Turkey are invited by open invitation posts on various social media applications for our twelve-question online survey. The scoring was shaped based on answers to measure antibiotic/prophylaxis knowledge. The collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS Statistics 22. Results: 321 participants answered all questions included in the study. The statistical analyses showed a significant difference in the evaluations according to gender, title, graduation time, and workplace. Conclusion: Inappropriate antibiotic prescription by dentists is common in Turkey. Dentists should receive more undergraduate lessons, and taking reminder antibiotic courses at regular intervals after graduation can contribute to keeping their knowledge up to date.

AMAÇ: Bu anket çalışmasının amacı Gazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nde eğitim gören 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin pandemi dönemindeki mesleki deneyimleriyle ve mezuniyetlerinden sonraki planlarıyla ilgili geribildirimlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmanın örneklemi çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü, COVİD-19 pandemi döneminde diş hekimliği klinik staj eğitimine belli düzenlemelerle devam eden 4. ve 5. sınıfta eğitim gören 220 lisans öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Anket sorularında klinik staj eğitimi ile ilgili öğrencilerin görüşleri ve pandemi sürecinin; öğrencilerin klinik staj eğitimi sırasındaki hasta bakma deneyimlerine ve mezuniyet sonrasındaki planlarına etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analiz için Ki-Kare testi ve Fisher Freeman Halton Exact Ki-kare testi kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Öğrencilerin % 59.1’i pandemi döneminde uygun şartlar sağlandığında hasta bakma imkanı verildiği için memnun olduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin % 55.5’i klinik staj eğitimi sırasında daha fazla sayıda hasta bakmak istediğini, % 55.5’i pandemi sürecinin; mezuniyetlerinden sonraki planlarında değişime sebep olduğunu ve % 60.5’i ise mezuniyetten sonra uzmanlık yapmak istediğini belirtmiştir. SONUÇ: Veriler, diş hekimliği 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin büyük çoğunluğunun klinik staj eğitimi sırasında fazla sayıda hasta bakılmasının eğitimleri açısından iyi olacağını düşündüklerini ve mezuniyetlerinden sonra uzmanlık eğitimi almak istediklerini göstermektedir. Bu veriler ışığında pandemi gibi olağanüstü durumlarda diş hekimliği gibi pratik eğitimin çok önemli olduğu bir meslek dalında eğitimin etkilenmemesi adına bazı düzenlemelerin yapılması düşünülebilir.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı iki farklı fakülte (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi ve Atatürk Üniversitesi) de eğitim gören öğrencilerin Restoratif Diş Tedavisi uzmanlığına ilişkin görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesinden 306 öğrenci ve Atatürk Üniversitesinden 428 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 734 öğrenci katıldı. Çalışmaya birinci sınıf öğrencileri dahil edilmedi. Öğrencilere demografik bilgileriyle ilgili, restoratif diş tedavisinin preklinik, klinik ve uzmanlık konularıyla ilgili ve diğer bölümlerle kıyaslanmasıyla ilgili sorular içeren 24 soruluk bir anketi doldurmaları istendi. Verilerin incelenmesinde tanımlayıcı ve frekans analizleri ve ki kare, bağımsız örneklem t testi, tek yönlü ANOVA testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin Restoratif Diş Tedavisini tercih ettikleri sıralama iki fakülte öğrenciler arasında farklılık göstermedi (p > 0.05). Ancak öğrencilerin okudukları dönem ile tercih sıralaması arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p < 0.05) ve dönem artıkça tercih sıralaması olumsuz etkileniyordu. Sonuç: Öğrenciler Restoratif Diş Tedavisi uzmanlığına kişisel olarak ilgi duysalar da maddi gelir nedeniyle üst sıralarda tercih etmemektedirler. Ayrıca fakülteler arasındaki çeşitli farklılıklarda Restoratif Diş Tedavisiyle ilgili görüşü olumlu ya da olumsuz olarak etkiler.

Amaç: Diş hekimliği çalışanları sürekli olarak kan ve tükürük ile temas halindedir ve bu nedenle yüksek risk grubu arasında yer almaktadırlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kocaeli Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran hastalardaki Hepatit A virüs (HAV), Hepatit B virüs (HBV), Hepatit C virüs (HCV) ve İnsan İmmun Yetmezlik Virüsü (HIV) görülme sıklığını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, 17.04.2013 - 10.05.2019 tarihleri arasında Kocaeli Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran 180655 hastanın anamnez dosyalarının incelenmesi yoluyla retrospektif olarak yapıldı. HAV, HBV, HCV ve HIV öyküsü olan toplam vaka sayıları, cinsiyetlere ve yaşlara göre olan dağılımları ve bu enfekte hastaların dental tedavi işlemleri için toplam kaç kez fakülteye geldikleri tespit edildi. Bulgular: Çalışma için toplamda 180,655 kişinin anamnez dosyası incelendi. HAV, HBV, HCV ve HIV öyküsü olan 1,809 hasta tespit edildi. Bunlar arasında 103 (%0.057) hasta HAV, 1,575 (%0.871) hasta HBV, 103 (%0.057) hasta HCV ve 28 (%0.015) hasta HIV öyküsüne sahipti. Bu hastaların dental tedavi işlemleri için kliniklere 54,328 kez başvurduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: Hastalar, diş hekimleri ve diş hekimi asistanlarının bulaşıcı viral hastalıklar konusundaki farkındalığının arttırılması, doğrudan ve dolaylı çapraz enfeksiyonla ilişkili bulaşma riskini azaltacaktır.
