In the end of December 2019, a virus disease that occurred in Wuhan City, China. The disease which is transmitted by droplets and contact is accepted as pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) was named as COVID-19. Clinical symptoms of COVID-19 are dry cough, shortness of breath and fever, but if the disease progress, some fatal complications can occur as septic shock, organ and system failure, pneumonia or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This study was examined the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of People Living in Different Regions of Turkey in terms of dentistry procedures during new coronavirus outbreak. There were 438 respondents in the study. When the participants were asked what to do if they had toothache during the COVID-19 pandemic, only 56 people (12.8%) stated that they would go to the dentist, in addition, only 17.4% of the participants know that "severe toothache, dental abscess, jaw, and facial fractures and tooth dislocation as a result of trauma" are within the scope of emergency dental treatments. Our data revealed that health committees should do public health studies and use the media more in this regard in order to raise awareness of the people and eliminate information pollution.

TÜRKİYE'DE FARKLI BÖLGELERDE YAŞAYAN KİŞİLERİN COVID-19 PANDEMİSİ SÜRECİNDE DİŞ HEKİMLİĞİ PROSEDÜRLERİ KONUSUNDA BİLGİ, TUTUM VE DAVRANIŞLARININ BELİRLENMESİ
Abstract
2019 yılının Aralık ayının sonunda, Çin’in Wuhan kentinde bir virüs hastalığı ortaya çıktı. Damlacık ve temas yoluyla bulaşan bu virüs Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından pandemi kabul edilerek COVID-19 olarak isimlendirildi. COVID-19’un klinik semptomları kuru öksürük, nefes darlığı ve ateştir, fakat hastalık ilerleyerek septik şok, organ yetmezliği, pnömoni veya akut respiratuvar distres sendromu (ARDS) gibi bazı ölümcül komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan kişilerin yeni koronavirüs salgını süresince diş hekimliği prosedürleri açısından bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını değerlendirmektedir. Bu anket çalışması, 438 katılımcı üzerinde yapıldı. Katılımcılara COVID-19 salgını sırasında diş ağrısı olursa ne yapacakları sorulduğunda sadece 56 kişi (%12,8) diş hekimine gideceğini belirtti, ayrıca katılımcıların sadece %17,4'ü “şiddetli diş ağrısı, diş apsesi, çene ve yüz kırıkları ve travma sonucu diş yerinden oynaması” seçeneklerinin acil diş tedavileri kapsamında olduğunu bilmekteydi. Verilerimiz, halkı bilinçlendirmek ve bilgi kirliliğini ortadan kaldırmak için sağlık kurullarının bu konuda halk sağlığı çalışmaları yapmaları ve medyayı daha fazla kullanmaları gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur.
