Amaç: Bu araştırmada, subklinik hipotiroiditli çocuk hastaların ağız sağlığı durumunun değerlendirilmesi ve sağlıklı çocuklarla karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Araştırmaya 4-18 yaş aralığındaki 36’sı subklinik hipotiroiditli (deney grubu), 36’sı sağlıklı (kontrol grubu) toplam 72 çocuk dahil edildi. Araştırmaya dahil edilen çocukların ağız sağlığı durumunun belirlemek için DMFT/dft indeksi, gingival indeks, plak indeksi kullanıldı. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizlerinde 2 yönlü varyans analizi (two-way ANOVA) ve Bonferroni testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Deney grubunun DMFT değerlerinin kontrol grubundan daha yüksek olduğu ancak aradaki farkın sadece 13-18 yaş grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). Plak indeksi ve gingival indeks skorları açısından kontrol ve deney grubu arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı tespit edildi (p>0.05). Sonuç: Subklinik hipotiroiditli çocuk hastalarda diş çürüğü görülme sıklığının sağlıklı çocuklara oranla daha yüksek olduğu ancak periodontal sağlığın etkilenmediği belirlendi. Bununla birlikte, bulgularımızın desteklenmesi için daha geniş popülasyonlu çalışmaların yapılması gerektiği kanısındayız.
Purpose: This study was aimed at evaluating the oral health status of children with subclinical hypothyroidism and comparing it to healthy children. Method: The study included 36 subclinical hypothyroids (experimental group) and 36 healthy (control group) with a total of 72 children between the ages of 4 and 18. The study used the DMFT/dft index, gingival index, plaque index to determine the oral health status of the children involved. In the statistical analysis of the obtained data, the two-way variance analysis (Two-way ANOVA) and the Bonferroni test were used. Results: The test group found that the DMFT values were higher than the control group but the difference between them was statistically meaningful only in the 13-18-year-old group (p<0.05). It was found that there was no significant difference between the control and test group in terms of the plaque index and gingival index scores (p>0.05). The result: The incidence of tooth fractures in children with subclinical hypothyroidism was higher than in healthy children, but periodontal health was not affected. However, we believe that more popular studies should be done to support our findings.
Objective: To assess and compare the oral health status of children suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism and healthy children. Methods: A total of 72 children, 36 with subclinical hypothyroiditis (experimental group) and 36 healthy controls (control group) were included in the study. DMFT/dft index, gingival index, and plaque index were used to determine the oral health status of the children included in the study. Two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used for statistical analysis of the obtained data. Results: It was determined that DMFT values of the experimental group were higher than the control group but the statistically significant difference was only observed in the 13-18 age group (p <0.05). It was detected that there was no significant difference between the control and experimental groups in terms of plaque index, and gingival index scores. Conclusion: It was determined that the prevalance of dental caries in children with subclinical hypothyroidism was higher than in healthy children, but periodontal health was not affected. However, we believe that larger population studies should be carried out to support our findings.
