ABSTRACT
Objective: One of the indexes that best shows the oral health status is the decayed-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) index. 65% of the saliva secreted in the body is produced by the submandibular gland. One of the best imaging methods of the submandibular gland is ultrasound. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between the volume of the submandibular gland, the gland in which saliva is produced the most, and the DMFT index. In addition, changes in the size and volume of the submandibular salivary gland depending on age, gender and body mass index (BMI) were investigated using ultrasonography (USG). Material and Methods: In this study, 240 submandibular glands (right and left) of 120 patients were examined by USG. Results: Submandibular gland volume in males; was found to be higher than that of females (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between salivary gland volume and BMI, DMFT index (p˃0.05). While the DMFT index increased with age, it did not change depending on gender. We found the mean volume of the right submandibular gland to be 4.21±0.839 cm3 and the volume of the left submandibular gland to average 4.23±0.825 cm3. The mean DMFT index was found to be 11.29±9.025. Conclusion: There is no relationship between submandibular gland size and DMFT index. There is no relationship between submandibular gland size and BMI index. In addition, males have a larger volume of submandibular glands than females.

ÖZET
Amaç: Ağız sağlığı durumunu en iyi gösteren indekslerden biri çürük-eksik-dolgulu dişler [decayed-missing-filled teeth (DMFT)] indeksidir. Vücutta salgılanan tükürüğün %65'i submandibular bez tarafından üretilmektedir. Submandibular bezin en iyi görüntüleme yöntemlerinden biri de ultrasondur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tükürüğün en çok üretildiği bez olan submandibular bez hacmi ile DMFT indeksi arasında ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Ayrıca submandibular tükürük bezinin yaş, cinsiyet ve beden kitle indeksine (BKİ) bağlı olarak boyut ve hacmindeki değişiklikler ultrasonografi (USG) ile araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, 120 hastanın 240 submandibular bezi (sağ ve sol olmak üzere) USG ile incelendi. Bulgular: Erkeklerde submandibular bez hacim değerleri kadınlara göre daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Tükürük bezi hacmi ile BKİ, DMFT indeksi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu (p˃0,05). DMFT indeksi yaşla birlikte artarken cinsiyete göre değişmedi. Sağ submandibular bezin ortalama hacmini 4,21±0,839 cm3 ve sol submandibular bezin hacmini ortalama 4,23±0,825 cm3 bulduk. Ortalama DMFT indeksi 11,29±9,025 olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Submandibular bez büyüklüğü ile DMFT indeksi arasında bir ilişki yoktur. Submandibular bez boyutu ile BKİ indeksi arasında bir ilişki yoktur. Ek olarak, erkeklerin kadınlardan daha büyük bir submandibular bez hacmi vardır.
