Amaç: Yapılan çalışmalar, diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencilerinin ağız bakım alışkanlıklarının öğretim seviyesine göre farklılıklar gösterdiğini bildirmiştir. Hiroşima Üniversitesi Dental Davranış Envanteri [Hiroshima University Dental Behavioural Inventory (HUDBI)], ülkeler arasındaki kültürel farkların bireylerin ağız ve diş sağlığı ile kişisel bakım alışkanlıklarına etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı, üniversite 1. sınıf diş hekimliği fakültesi öğrencisi olan ve olmayan öğrencilerin, ağız ve diş sağlığı ile kişisel ağız bakım alışkanlıklarını HU-DBI kullanarak değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma topluluğumuzu, Ankara Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesinin 108 (Grup 1) 1. sınıf öğrencisi ile Gazi Üniversitesinin çeşitli fakültelerinde okuyan 90 (Grup 2) 1. Sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Öğrencilerin hepsi gönüllü olarak HU-DBI anketine katılmıştır. Çalışmamızda HU-DBI'nın Türkçe sürümü kullanılmıştır. Türkçe sürümün çevirisi 2 aşamada gerçekleştirilmiş, 2 sürümün eşliğinin onaylanması için çift ana dili olan bireylere 2 hafta arayla her 2 anket uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Grup 1'e göre daha fazla sayıda 2. grup öğrencileri diş etlerinin kanadığını (Soru 2, p<0,001), dişlerinin renginden rahatsız olduklarını (Soru 3, p<0,01) ve dişlerinin üzerinde beyaz kalıntılar gördüğünü bildirmiştir (Soru 4, p<0,001). Ortalama HU-DBI skoruna bakıldığında ise 2 grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar görülmemiştir (Grup 1=5,32±1,69; Grup 2=4,92±1,88). Sonuç: Bulgular, üniversitenin ilk yılında öğrencilerin çocukluktan gelen ağız bakım alışkanlıklarını sürdürdüğünü göstermiştir. Düşük ortalama HU-DBI skorları, çocukluğun erken yaşlarında verilecek toplumsal ağız diş sağlığı eğitimleriyle yükseltilebilir.

Objective: Studies have reported that the oral care habits of the students of the dental faculty differ according to their level of education. Hiroshima University Dental Behavior Inventory (HU-DBI) was developed to investigate dental health behavior, attitudes and perceptions of the individuals. The purpose of the present study was to compare the self-reported oral health behavior and attitudes among a group of freshman dental and non-dental/medical university students by using HU-DBI. Material and Methods: A population consisting of 108 freshman students from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry (Group 1), and 90 freshman students from non-dental/medical faculties of Gazi University (Group 2) completed the HU-DBI. The individuals participated voluntarily and the Turkish version of the HU-DBI was applied. The translation of the Turkish version was carried out in 2 stages, and 2 questionnaires were administered to individuals with dual mother tongues, with an interval of 2 weeks, to confirm the equality of the 2 versions. Results: A greater proportion of non-dental/medical students reported gum bleeding (Item 2, p<0.001) than did the dental students, and a higher proportion of non-dental/medical students said they were bothered about the color of their teeth (Item 3, p<0.01) and reported that they had noticed some white sticky deposits on their teeth (Item 4, p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups for the mean HU-DBI score (Group 1=5.32±1.69 for dental and Group 2=4.92±1.88 for non-dental/medical students). Conclusion: The differences indicate that students tend to continue oral health behaviors from childhood. The low mean scores of the HU-DBI may be raised by improving public oral health education during early ages of life.
