Özet

Purpose: To assess the level of knowledge about the common approaches to children's oral and dental health in a sample of Turkish pediatricians. Methods: A total of 130 pediatricians responded to an 18-question electronic survey about their personal information and knowledge about children's oral health. The data obtained were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and multiple linear regression analysis tests. Results: The mean pediatricians' knowledge score was 7.99 +/- 1.67 (range: zero to 11) and the median score was eight. There were no statistically signification relationships between the pediatricians' mean knowledge, their sociodemographic factors and their educational background about children's oral health. Conclusion: Turkish pediatricians need more pediatric oral health education.
