BACKGROUND
This paper describes the oral healthcare system and disease situation amongst children in Turkey. Considering the high prevalence and severity of dental caries, a proposal for improvement of oral health in this population group is formulated.
DISCUSSION
A virtual absence of palliative, preventive and restorative care characterises juvenile oral healthcare in Turkey. Consequently, carious cavities remain untreated, which may lead to pain, discomfort and functional limitation and, further, may impact negatively upon general health and cognitive development. As a first step to controlling dental caries, a national health programme including promotional, preventive and minimal intervention approaches for managing dental caries is proposed. The pros and cons of community-oriented caries-preventive measures are discussed. Daily tooth brushing with fluoridated toothpaste at home, in mother- and child-care centres, kindergartens, and schools is highlighted.
SUMMARY
The dental profession, government, university officials and other stakeholders need to meet and determine how best the oral health of children in Turkey can be improved. The present proposed plan is considered a starting point.
背景
本文描述了土耳其儿童的口腔保健系统和疾病状况。鉴于龋齿的高患病率和严重程度，针对该人群提出了改善口腔健康的建议。
讨论
土耳其儿童的口腔保健几乎完全缺乏姑息、预防和修复性护理。因此，龋齿未得到治疗，可能导致疼痛、不适和功能受限，并进一步对整体健康和认知发展产生负面影响。作为控制龋齿的第一步，提出了一项包括促进、预防和最小干预措施的国家卫生计划，以管理龋齿。讨论了以社区为导向的龋齿预防措施的优缺点。强调在家中、母婴保健中心、幼儿园和学校每天使用含氟牙膏刷牙。
总结
牙科专业人员、政府、大学官员和其他利益相关者需要会面，确定如何最好地改善土耳其儿童的口腔健康。目前提出的计划被认为是一个起点。
