بررسی آگاهی و نگرش دندان‌پزشکان عمومی شهر اصفهان در مورد چسب دندان مصنوعی

نوع مقاله : مقاله‌های پژوهشی

چکیده

مقدمه: آگاهی و نگرش دندان‌پزشکان در مورد چسب‌های دست دندان در سراسر جهان متفاوت است و احتمالاً تحت تأثیر عوامل مختلفی قرار می‌گیرد. بنابراین هدف از پژوهش حاضر ارزیابی آگاهی و نگرش دندان‌پزشکان عمومی نسبت به استفاده از چسب‌های دست دندان بود.
مواد و روش‌ها: در مطالعه‌ی مقطعی حاضر که در سال تحصیلی 1397-98 در شهر اصفهان انجام گرفت، آگاهی و نگرش 151 دندان‌پزشک عمومی نسبت به چسب‌های دست دندان با استفاده از پرسش‌نامه‌ی 16 موردی، ارزیابی و سطح آگاهی و نگرش شرکت‌کنندگان و ارتباط آن با سن و جنس ایشان مشخص گردید. برای بررسی آماری از آنالیز واریانس یک‌طرفه و آزمون t استفاده و داده‌های آماری با سطح معنی‌داری 0/05 تحلیل شد.
یافته‌ها: نوع مایع و پودر این چسب‌ها (57/2 درصد) بیش از سایر انواع، مورد اقبال بود. بروز عوارض به دنبال استفاده از این چسب‌ها (55 درصد)، اصلی‌ترین علت عدم تمایل به استفاده از آن‌ها بود. متوسط امتیاز آگاهی دندان‌پزشکان (37/14 ± 22/54) و امتیاز نگرش ایشان (14/41 ± 43/32) بود که هر دو میزان متوسط را داشتند. هیچ یک از ارزیابی‌های آگاهی (0/91 = p value) و نگرش (0/06 = p value) دندان‌پزشکان با جنسیت ارتباطی نداشتند. همچنین ارتباط معنی‌داری با سن یافت نشد (0/31 =  p value برای آگاهی و 0/37 = p value برای نگرش). ارتباط مستقیم و معنی‌داری میان آگاهی دندان‌پزشکان یا نگرش ایشان یافت گردید (0/02 =  p value، 0/196 = r).
نتیجه‌گیری: آگاهی و نگرش دندان‌پزشکان در سطح متوسط بود و با سن و یا جنس ارتباطی نداشت. ارتباط معنی‌دار و مستقیمی میان نگرش دندان‌پزشکان با سطح آگاهی ایشان دیده نشد.

Assessment of the knowledge and Attitude of General Dentists toward Denture Adhesives in the Isfahan Province

چکیده [English]

Introduction: The knowledge and attitude of dentists toward the use of denture adhesives vary worldwide, and may be affected by different factors. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of the general dentists toward the use of denture adhesives. 
Materials and Methods: In the current cross-sectional study that was done in 2019 in the city of Isfahan, the knowledge and attitude of 151 general dentists toward denture adhesive in the Isfahan city were assessed using a 16-item questionnaire. Besides, the participants' age and gender were recorded as well. Statistical analyses were done by One-way ANOVA and T-test with the 0.05 level of significance.
Results: The liquid and powder (57.2%) forms of denture adhesives were the most prevalent favored types of adhesives. The incidence of adverse effects following the adhesives administration (55%) was the most common underlying etiology for the reluctance to use them. The mean of knowledge and attitude scores were (54.22 ± 14.37) and (43.32 ± 14.41), respectively, that both were at an intermediate level. Neither knowledge score (p value = 0.91) nor attitude score (p value = 0.06) was affected by gender. Similar insignificant associations were found for age (p value = 0.31 for knowledge and 0.37 for age) as well. A significant direct association was found between knowledge and attitude (p value = 0.02, r = 0.196).
Conclusion: Both of the knowledge and attitude of the studied population were in the intermediate range. Besides, neither their knowledge nor their attitude was affected by age and gender. We observed that the attitude was directly associated with the dentists' knowledge.
