Amaç: Bu çalışma, pilot bir çalışma olarak planlanmış ve OXIS sınıflandırmasında tanımlandığı gibi süt molar dişlerin farklı interproksimal temas alanlarının araştırılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, 1 Aralık 2023-1 Şubat 2024 tarihleri arasında, Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran 3-8 yaş arası çürüksüz süt molar kontak yüzeyi bulunduran 75 hastanın 216 kontak alanı incelendi. Yapılan muayenelerde, kontak tipleri OXIS sınıflandırmasına göre O (açık), X (nokta), I (düz) ve S (kavisli) şeklinde kaydedildi. Kontak tipleri; yaş, cinsiyet ve bulunduğu çene kuadrantına göre değerlendirilirdi. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metotlar ve ki-kare testleri kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 43 kız ve 32 erkek toplam 75 hasta dâhil edildi. Kızlarda yaş ortalaması 5,3±1,6 erkeklerde ise 5,9±1,5'tir. Değerlendirilen 216 çürüksüz kontak alanından 115'i maksillada, 101'i mandibuladadır. En fazla gözlenen kontak tipi I (%64,8) olup, en az gözlenen kontak tipi S (%6) olarak belirlendi (p<0,001). Her iki cinsiyette de en fazla gözlenen kontak tipi I olurken, en az gözlenen erkeklerde S, kızlarda ise O tipi oldu (p=0,013). Yaşa göre değerlendirme yapıldığında; O tipi en fazla 3-4 yaş grubunda, X tipi 5-6 yaş grubunda, I ve S tipleri de 5 yaş üstü çocuklarda görülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda, OXIS sınıflandırmasına göre süt molar dişlerde en fazla gözlenen kontak I tipidir.

Objective: This study was planned as a pilot study and aimed to investigate different interproximal contact areas of primary molars, as defined in the OXIS classification. Material and Methods: In this study, 216 contact areas of 75 patients with caries-free primary molar contact surfaces between the ages of 3-8 who applied to Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Dentistry between December 1, 2023 and February 1, 2024 were examined. In the examinations, contact types were recorded as O (open), X (point), I (straight) and S (curved) according to the OXIS classification. Contact types were evaluated according to age, gender and location. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and chi-square tests. Results: 75 patients were included in the study, 43 of them were girl and 32 were boy. The mean age in girls was 5.3±1.6 and 5.9±1.5 in boys. Of the 216 cariesfree contact areas evaluated, 115 were in the maxilla and 101 were mandible. The most common contact type was I (64.8%), and the least was S (6%) (p<0.001). The most common contact type in both genders was I, the least common was S in boys and O in girls (p=0.013). When evaluated according to age; type O was most common in the 3-4 age group, type X was in the 5-6, I and S types were seen in children over 5 years of age. Conclusion: As a result of this study, according to the OXIS classification, the most common contact type in primary molars is I.
