Amaç: Çocuğun, ebeveyn veya yardımcı personel tarafından kısmi veya tamamen sabitlenmesi ile diş tedavisi sırasında herhangi bir yaralanmaya karşı korumaya yönelik tekniğe, koruyucu stabilizasyon tekniği (KST) denir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; yaşanılan kötü tecrübe ve deneyimlerin diş hekimi korkusu oluşturduğu yargısından yola çıkılarak, diş hekimliği korkusu bulunan bireylerin çocuklarda KST uygulaması hakkındaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada, 2020 yılında Atatürk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Pedodonti ABD'ye başvuran hasta yakınlarına diş hekimine gitme huzursuzluğu ve KST konularından oluşan 16 soruluk bir anket doldurulmuştur. Veriler, SPSS 20.0 paket programında 0,05'lik anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Ankete 18-70 yaş aralığındaki (yaş ortalaması 34,6±10,1) 280 katılımcı dâhil edilmiştir. İlk kez diş hekimine gitme yaşı ortalaması 12,96±7,05 yıl (en az 4 en fazla 50) olarak belirlenmiştir. Ebeveynler, çocuklarının yararına olduğu düşüncesiyle KST ile yapılacak diş tedavilerine olumlu yaklaştıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Katılımcılara sorulan 'Diş hekimine gitme huzursuzluğunuza neden olan tecrübe hangisiydi?' sorusuna en çok lokal anestezi uygulaması (%25,9) cevabı verilmiştir. Sağlık alanındaki işlemlere karşı duyulan korku sıralaması endoskopi ve kolonoskopi > kadın doğum ve üroloji > diş hekimliği işlemleri> kas içi enjeksiyon > damar yolu açtırma olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmaların bulguları, diş hekimliği korkusu olan bireylerin bile çocuklarının yararına olduğunu düşündükleri takdirde KST kabul edebileceklerini ortaya koymuştur.

Objective: The technique of partial or complete fixation of the child by the parent or auxiliary personnel to protect against any injury during dental treatment is called the protective stabilization technique. Based on the judgment that bad dental experiences cause dental fear, it is aimed to determine the bad experiences of the parents and to evaluate their views on the possibility of applying protective stabilization technique for children. Material and Methods: In the study, a 16-question questionnaire consisting of uneasiness to go to the dentist and immobilization was filled out by the companions of the patient who applied to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry of Atatürk University Faculty of Dentistry in 2020. The data were evaluated in the SPSS 20.0 package program at a significance level of 0.05. Results: 280 participants between the ages of 18-70 (mean age 34.6±10.1) were included in the survey. The mean age of going to the dentist for the first time was 12.96±7.05 years (minimum 4, maximum 50). Parents stated that they thought positively about the dental treatments to be performed with protective stabilization technique, as they thought it would be beneficial for their children.According to the participants' question, according to primary education teaching, was it experience' local anesthesia application (25.9%) was given the most to the question. 'What was the experience that made you feel uneasy about going to the dentist?'. The order of fear for the procedures in the health field was found as endoscopy and colonoscopy > gynecology and urology > dental procedures > intramuscular injection > vascular access opening. Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that even individuals with dental fear can accept protective stabilization technique if they think that it is for the benefit of their children.
