HIV ve HIV ile ilişkili stigmalar söz konusu özneleri hayatın her alanında etkilediği gibi sağlık alanında da olumsuz etkilemektedir. Gündemde yerini edinmeye başlayan, diş hekimleri arasında ve ağız, diş sağlığı hizmetlerinde oluşan HIV fobisi ve damgalamalarının nedenini konuşmak ve olası etkilerini tartışmak gerekmektedir. HIV ile yaşayan insanların sağlığının geliştirilmesi ve cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklara karşı gelişen olumsuz tepkilerin devam etmemesi için bu konuda daha çok çalışma yapılması gerekmektedir.

Background: To investigate whether there is a change in the attitudes and behaviors of Turkish dentists during their dental procedures against the COVID 19 pandemic. Methods: A web-based cross-sectional survey study was directed using a “Google Form” to obtain responses from dentists during February and March 2021. The survey was composed of 4 parts including: 1. demographic data (age, sex, marital status, systemic health), scope of practice (general dental practitioner versus specialist), place of practice (private versus public), and experience; 2. questions about COVID-19 management in practice and clinic biosafety routine, 3. questions about measures taken in dentistry clinics against COVID-19 and 4. questions about knowledge, attitudes and concerns of dentists towards the COVID 19 pandemic. Results: A total of 556 dentists completed questionnaire. The rate of questioning the HES code, temperature measurement and wanting each patient to rinse their mouth with anti-bacterial mouthwash before treatment were higher for specialist dentists (p

Objective: This study aimed to examine the occupational variables affecting dentists. The relationship between variables was discovered by the dendrogram, using hierarchical cluster analysis. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional survey that includes 124 dentists in İstanbul (mean age ± S; 34.21 ± 7.35 years; occupation year 11.05 ± 6.78 years; 73 married, 51 single; 61 men, 63 women). Some assessments (sleep, depression, anxiety, pain, functionality, physical activity, and quality of life) were applied to the participants. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis of Multivariate Statistical Methods was used to determine the clustering tendency of the variables and see how these clusters can converge. Results: Two main clusters were obtained by using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis. Main Cluster I contains two subclusters: Sub-Cluster I: Age, Occupation year, Stress, Neck disability index; Sub-Cluster II: Depression, Anxiety, Pittsburg, BMI, Oswestry disability index. Main Cluster II: Quality of life, Physical activity, Chronic disease, Smoking, Family situation, and Gender variables were obtained. Discussion and Conclusion: As a result of our research, it is seen that the relations between the variables in the clusters we obtained are related to the literature. In this sense, the visual results and clusters obtained with the dendrogram enabled the variables to be presented regularly and systematically. Hierarchical cluster analysis draws attention as a modern method in terms of evaluating the physical and psychosocial variables that occur in dentistry, an important profession for society.

Objective: The aim in the present study was to compare the effectiveness of exercise plus kinesio taping versus exercise alone in dentists who have myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the upper trapezius muscle.Materials and Methods: In total, 47 dentists diagnosed with MPS of the upper trapezius muscle were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the dual block randomisation method. The patients in the first group (n = 23) received kinesio taping for the upper trapezius muscle and an exercise programme. The patients in the second group (n = 24) received only an exercise programme. All patients completed the study. The severity of the pain was measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS). An algometer was used to determine the pressure pain threshold, and the quality of life was measured using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey.Results: The mean age of the patients included into the study was 29.83 ± 5.45 in the kinesio taping group and 31.79 ± 5.60 in the exercise alone group. In both groups, a significant improvement in pain values was observed between the evaluations performed at the beginning and at the end of the study (p lt; 0.05). After the treatment, it was observed that the kinesio taping group exhibited higher improvement (p lt; 0.05) in the pain scores at rest and during activity as measured by VAS, pressure pain threshold values and using the subscales (physical functioning, social role functioning, vitality [energy], emotional role limitation, physical role limitation, mental health and general health perceptions) and total SF-36 scores. Only the improvement in the ‘bodily pain’ subscale of the SF-36 did not show statistically significant difference between the groups (p gt; 0.05). Conclusion: The present study found that exercise therapy alone and exercise plus kinesio taping are beneficial in reducing pain in dentists with MPS of the upper trapezius muscle. The use of kinesio taping plus exercise provided further improvement in the resting and activity pain scores, pressure pain threshold and in certain subscales of the quality of life scale.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between cervical and lumbar range of motions, pain and postural problems with the time spent in the occupation in dentists. Methods: A total of 56 dentists (27 males, 29 females), participated in this research as a volunteer (age=29.55±9.5 years). Firstly, the participants were divided into 3 groups according to the working years in their life and the time spent at unit during the day; they were also divided into 2 groups according to the intermittent or uninterrupted working conditions during the day. Cervical and lumbar joint range of motions were measured to determine limitations. The McGill pain scale survey was used to evaluate the pain. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests with a posthoc Bonferroni test were used for all statistical analyses. Results: It was seen that the cervical and lumbar joint range of motions decreased, and the postural deformities in the spine and knee were observed and the level of pain increased significantly in comparatively to the excess of the time spent in the profession. However, in the analysis according to the time spent at the unit during the day, only the decrease in the range of motion of the regions was determined with the increase of the time spent at the unit during the day. Conclusion: With the increase in the working years in the dentists, it was revealed that the limitation of the range of motion increased and posture disorders and pain were formed. It is thought that all these problems will be caused by working in non-ergonomic environments for a long time. In this respect, it is important to include experts in the field of physiotherapy in the courses given under the name of preventive medicine. As a result, it can be said that the health problems encountered with the increase in time spent in the profession have increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that can cause Infectious Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) when it infects infections by targeting immune system cells and the infection progresses. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge level of the dentists about the possible transmission of HIV / AIDS, the body fluids of HIV and the oral symptoms of HIV / AIDS, to determine the means of access to information, and to evaluate their attitudes and awareness towards patients. Methods: A questionnaire with 17 items was developed through Survey Monkey system. The link of this questionnaire was sent to dentists through e-mail, SMS, or social networking sites, and they were asked to fill out the questionnaire. 180 dentists filling out the questionnaire were taken as the data collection group. Results: Of the dentists participating in the study, 73% of them were females, and 43% of them were between 31 and 40 ages. Considering the items on oral lesions of HIV / AIDS patients, 39.8% of them responded as oral candidiasis. In questions that measure the level of HIV / AIDS knowledge; 28.4% knew that HIV and AIDS were not the same definition, 99% were infected with unprotected sexual intercourse, blood contact and stab wounds. A significant proportion of dentists; and urine and saliva, cups, towels, as well as common materials used to be infected. When the attitudes of the HIV infected patient were evaluated, more than half of the respondents answered without hesitation. When the patients were asked if they were worried about HIV infection, 40% answered yes. They stated that they got their knowledge about HIV / AIDS mostly in the faculty (85%) and written sources (56.1%). 73.3% of the dentists stated that they did not have enough information about HIV / AIDS and oral lesions and they wanted their information to be updated. Conclusion: Although the knowledge level of the dentists in our study was generally acceptable, it was observed that there was misinformation and attitude about the transmission routes of HIV. It is thought that updating the information about the dentists working in the field after graduation is important. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The profession of dentistry that has the obligation to work in the same position for is at risk of some occupational diseases which develops due to the use of musculoskeletal system in inappropriate forms. Some health problems such as mechanical pain, allergy, infection, dermatitis are frequently seen in these occupational diseases. In present study the musculoskeletal system problems of dentists working in Oral and Dental Health Centers in Sakarya, Bilecik, Bozüyük and factors affecting these complaints were investigated. Material-Method: This was a descriptive type of study. The data was collected of 83 dentist, by the investigator between April 2017-May 2017 with Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Results: Involved in study 50.6% were male. Mean age of participants was 37,81±8,23 years. Musculoskeletal system complaints among the dentists participated in the study were %79,5% in last 12 months, %69,9% in last month and %48,2% in the day of questionnaire. In the last 12 months the prevalence of musculoskeletal system complaints were most frequently seen at neck region (78.3%), low back region (56.6%) and upper back region (55,4%) respectively. The frequency of musculoskeletal system problems in the last month was higher among females (p=0.001), working time is over 15 years (p=0,019), working in bending position constantly (p=0,013). Conclusions: Those who evaluate the working environment as risky complain about painful areas twice higher than those who do not evaluate the working environment as risky. It is thought that arrangement of in service training to establish occupational risk and behavioral changes against job work, working position and life style of dentists will be useful.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın iki amacı vardır. Birincisi ağız ve diş sağlığı tanı ve tedavi birimlerinde çalışan diş hekimlerinin maruz kaldıkları ve tanık oldukları şiddetin niteliklerinin belirlenmesidir. İkincisi ise yaşanan şiddet olayı sonrasındaki sürecin ortaya konulmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1 Temmuz 2014 - 31 Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’daki kamuya ait ağız ve diş sağlığı merkezleri ile üniversitelerin diş hekimliği fakültelerinde görev yapan diş hekimlerine yönelik bir anket çalışması yapıldı. Anket formu üç bölümden oluşturuldu. Birinci bölümde demografik veriler, ikinci bölümde şiddetin sebepleri ve şiddetin önlenmesine yönelik alınabilecek önlemler, üçüncü bölümde ise maruz kalınan şiddetin niteliklerinin belirlenmesine yönelik sorular bulunmaktadır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %48.5’i (n=32) tüm meslek hayatları boyunca en az bir kere şiddete maruz kaldığını, şiddete maruz kaldığını belirtenlerin %65.6’sının (n=21) da son bir yıl içinde şiddetle karşılaştığı saptandı. Maruz kaldıkları şiddet türü sorgulandığında, %71.9’u (n=23) sadece sözel, %18.7’si (n=6) ise hem sözel hem de fiziksel şiddete maruz kaldıklarını belirtti. Toplumda şiddet vakalarının arttığına inananların oranı %95.5 (n=63) bulundu. Anket çalışması yapılan kurumda şiddet vakalarının arttığına inananların oranı %69.7 (n=46) ve şiddetin engellenebileceğini düşünenlerin oranı ise % 86.4 (n=57) olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışma küçük bir grubun bu konudaki görüşlerini yansıtmakla birlikte diş hekimlerinin de sağlık alanındaki şiddetten etkilendiğini göstermektedir.
