ABSTRACT
Objective: It is stated that coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is mainly transmitted through cells expressing angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptors. In our study, the relationship between oral hygiene habits and COVID-19 exposure of individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic period was studied. Material and Methods: After obtaining ethical approval of the study, individuals aged 20 and over who wanted to participate in the study were included. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the questionnaire form examining the oral and dental health of the individuals was sent online between 01 and 10 January 2021. Survey form consisted of questions to measure demographic information (gender, age), status of having COVID-19, and oral hygiene habits. Analysis of the data in the study was done using the Pearson chi-square test (p0.05). Among the individuals participating in our study, 13.8% (n=90) of those who brushed their teeth 2-3 times a day, 20.4% (n=69) of those who brushed their teeth once a day, and 21.3% (n=16) of those who brushed 2-3 times a week had COVID-19. Individuals using mouthwash (12.1%; n=57) had less COVID-19 compared to individuals who had not use mouthwash (19.1%; n=118). It was found that 33.6% (n=358) of individuals increased the frequency of tooth brushing during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that individuals who used regular tooth brushing and mouthwash during the COVID-19 pandemic had less COVID-19 disease. Therefore, it is considered that raising awareness about individual measures to protect oral and dental health will be useful in preventing COVID-19 transmission.

ÖZET
Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019'un [coronavirus disease2019 (COVID-19)], esas olarak anjiyotensin dönüştürücü enzim 2 reseptör ekspresyonu yapan hücreler üzerinden bulaştığı belirtilmektedir. Çalışmamızda COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde bireylerin oral hijyen alışkanlıkları ile COVID-19 geçirmeleri arasındaki ilişki incelendi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmanın etik onayı alındıktan sonra çalışmaya katılmak isteyen 20 yaş ve üstü bireyler kabul edildi. COVID-19 pandemi döneminde bireylerin ağız ve diş sağlıklarını inceleyen anket formunu bireylere 01-10 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında çevrim içi olarak gönderildi. Bireylere, demografik bilgileri (cinsiyet, yaş), COVID-19 geçirme durumu ve oral hijyen alışkanlıklarını ölçmeye yönelik sorular yöneltildi. Çalışmadaki verilerin analizi, Pearson ki-kare testi ile değerlendirildi (p0,05). Çalışmamıza katılan bireylerden dişlerini günde 2-3 kez fırçalayanların %13,8'i (n=90), günde 1 kez dişleri fırçalayanların %20,4'ü (n=69) ve haftada 2-3 kez fırçalayanların ise %21,3'ünün (n=16) COVID-19 geçirdiği görüldü. Ağız gargarası kullanan bireyler (%12,1; n=57), ağız gargarası kullanmayan bireylerden (%19,1; n=118) daha az COVID19 geçirmişti. Bireylerin %33,6'sının (n=358) COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde diş fırçalama sıklığının arttığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, COVID-19 pandemi dönemde düzenli diş fırçalayan ve ağız gargarası kullanan bireylerin daha az COVID-19 hastalığı geçirdiği görüldü. Bu yüzden toplumda ağız ve diş sağlığını korumaya yönelik bireysel önlemler konusunda farkındalığın artırılmasının, COVID-19 bulaşını önlemede faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
