Özet
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, pedodontistlerin ve genel diş hekimlerinin hastalarını ortodontistlere yönlendirme ihtiyacı duydukları ortodontik problemlerin belirlenmesi ve yönlendirme sürecinde ortodontiste yönlendirme kriterlerinin pedodontistler, genel diş hekimleri ve ortodontistler tarafından değerlendirilmesidir. Materyal ve Metod: Anket formu Google Forms ile hazırlanmış olup sosyal medya platformları aracılığı ile pedodontistlere ve genel diş hekimlerine ve Türk Ortodonti Derneği üyesi olan ortodontistlere mail ile ulaşılarak çevrimiçi olarak uygulanmıştır. 84 pedodontist, 75 genel diş hekimi, 71 ortodontist olmak üzere toplam 230 kişi çalışmaya katıldı. Anket formu demografik ve mesleki bilgiler, ortodontiste hasta yönlendirme ihtiyacı duyulan ortodontik problemler ve yönlendirme sürecinde ortodontist seçimini etkileyen faktörleri içeren sorulardan oluşmaktadır. Ayrıca pedodontistlere ve genel diş hekimlerine kendilerinin ortodontik tedavi uygulamaları ve sınıf maloklüzyon teşhis becerileri ile ilgili sorular da sorulmuştur. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS V23 ile yapıldı ve tüm analizler için anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.050 olarak alındı. Bulgular: Eksik ve tutarsız anketler çalışmamızdan çıkarılarak ve grup dağılımları eşitlenerek her grupta 68 cevaplandırma ile toplam 204 anket verisi çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Pedodontistlerin sınıf maloklüzyon bilgisine doğru cevap oranı genel diş hekimlerininkinden daha fazla bulundu. Kliniklerinde kendilerinin ortodontik tedavi uyguladıklarını belirten GDH'lerin oranı %2.9 iken pedodontistlerin oranı %38.2'dir. Pedodontistlerin %98.5'i ve GDH'lerin %97.1'i ortodontiste hasta yönlendirmektedir. Pedodontist ve GDH'lerden hasta yönlendirmesi aldığını belirten ortodontistlerin oranı ise %97'dir. Yönlendirilen ortodontik problemler içerisinde "çapraşıklığın giderilmesi amacıyla yönlendirme" faktörü, en yüksek orana sahiptir (%98.51). Yönlendirilen ortodontik problemler içerisinde en düşük orana sahip faktör "hastanın eklem şikayeti varsa" faktörüdür. Yönlendirme sürecinde ortodontist seçimini etkileyen faktörlerden GDH'lerde en yüksek skoru alan faktör "ortodontistin vaka sonuçlarının başarısı, pedodontistlerde "ortodontist ile iletişim kurabiliyor olmak", ortodontistlerde ise "diğer hekimler ile ortodontist arasındaki geçmişteki olumlu tecrübeler"dir. Sonuç: Pedodontistler ve genel diş hekimleri ortodontik problemi olan hastalarını ortodontistlere yönlendirmektedir. Yönlendirme sürecinde ortodontist seçimini etkileyen faktörler hekim gruplarına göre farklılık göstermektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Genel Diş hekimleri, Ortodontist, Pedodontist, Yönlendirme Kriterleri
Aim: The aim of this study is to identify orthodontic issues for which pediatric dentists and general practitioners feel the need to refer patients to orthodontists and to evaluate the referral criteria used by pediatric dentists, general practitioners and orthodontists during the referral process. Material and Method: The questionnaire was prepared with Google Forms and applied online via social media platforms to pediatric dentists and general practitioners and orthodontists who are members of the Turkish Orthodontic Society by e-mail. A total of 230 participants, including 84 pediatric dentists, 75 general practitioners, and 71 orthodontists, took part in the study. The questionnaire form consists of questions that include demographic and professional information, orthodontic problems that require patient referral to the orthodontist, and the factors affecting the selection of an orthodontist during the referral process. In addition, pediatric dentists and general practitioners were asked about their orthodontic treatment practices and class malocclusion diagnostic skills. Statistical analyzes were performed with IBM SPSS V23 and the level of significance was taken as p<0.050 for all analyzes. Results: Incomplete and inconsistent questionnaires were excluded from our study and group distributions were equalized, and a total of 204 questionnaire data with 68 responses in each group were included in our study. The correct response rate of pediatric dentists to class malocclusion information was found to be higher than that of general practitioners. While only 2.9% of general practitioners reported performing orthodontic treatments in their clinics, this percentage was 38.2% for pediatric dentists. Approximately 98.5% of pediatric dentists and 97.1% of general dentists refer patients to orthodontists. The rate of orthodontists who stated that they received patient referral from pediatric dentists and general practitioners is 97%. Among the referred orthodontic problems, the factor of "orientation to eliminate crowding" has the highest rate (98.51%). The factor with the lowest rate among the orthodontic problems referred is the factor "if the patient has temporomandibular joint complaints". Among the factors affecting the selection of orthodontists in the referral process, the factor with the highest score in general dentists is "the success of the orthodontist's case results, "being able to communicate with the orthodontist" in pediatric dentists, and "positive past experiences between other physicians and orthodontists" in orthodontists. Conclusion: Pediatric dentists and general practitioners refer their patients with orthodontic problems to orthodontists. The factors affecting the selection of orthodontists in the referral process differ according to the physician groups.
