    An Evaluation of Oral Hygiene Habits of Children in the PostEarthquake Period in Malatya Province
    (2024) Gümüşboğa, Zekiye Şeyma
    Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the oral hygiene habits of children in the post-earthquake period in Malatya. Material and Methods: Three hundred parents presented to Inonu University Department of Pediatric Dentistry for examination/treatment participated in this study. The survey consists of a total of 18 questions. Descriptive statistical methods were used when evaluating the study data. The Chi-square test was used to compare qualitative data. Significance was evaluated at p<0.05 level. Results: 43.3% of the children participating in the study were brushing teeth once a day before the earthquake, 40.3% were brushing teeth rarely, 15% were brushing twice or more a day, and 1.3% were not brushing at all. After the earthquake, the rate of brushing teeth once a day was 31.3%, the rate of brushing teeth twice a day or more was 13%, the rate of rarely brushing teeth was 50%, and the rate of not brushing at all was 5.7%. The decrease in tooth brushing habits of children whose housing changed after the earthquake (30.8%) was statistically significantly higher than that of children whose housing did not change (20%) (p:0.027; p< 0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, it was observed that children's oral hygiene habits unfortunately decreased or disappeared as their housing conditions changed. Appropriate living conditions should be provided for children as soon as possible after natural disasters, and oral hygiene habits should be restarted.

    Types of the maxillary labial frenulum and median diastema in children: A cross-sectional study
    (2025) Gümüşboğa, Zekiye Şeyma; Yabaş, Şeyda Merve
    Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of different types of maxillary labial frenulum in children aged 4-13 years and whether they have an effect on median diastema. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted on 723 children aged 4-13 years who applied to the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Inonu University for examination. The examination of the children participating in the study was performed by sitting them upright under normal light. The patient's frenulum type was determined by performing the blanch test. The diastema between the maxillary central teeth was measured with an orthodontic caliper and was recorded. Results: The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. 343 boys and 380 girls were examined in this study. The most common maxillary labial frenulum type in the examined children was found to be the gingival frenulum type (57%), and the least common maxillary labial frenulum type was the papillary penetrating frenulum type (2%). When we looked at the amount of diastema in our study, the median diastema was mostly between 0-2 mm in the primary dentition, while the median diastema was mostly not seen in the mixed and permanent dentition. Conclusion: As a result, it was seen that there was a significant relationship between frenulum type and median diastema, but there was no significant relationship between gender and frenulum type.
