Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Dentists provide dental care to their patients and educate them on their oral hygiene and how to maintain oral health. This paper aimed to determine whether dentists are hypocritical when advising their patients on oral hygiene procedures and dental treatments because they do not apply to themselves what they recommend to others.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This is a self-reported study conducted through an online survey questionnaire completed by 1001 participants, of whom 551 were non-dentists and 450 dentists. This is the first study on oral hygiene habits and oral status among dentists in Croatia. This research included almost 10% of the total number of working dentists in Croatia.

RESULTS

In terms of dental hygiene habits, dentists brushed, flossed and used interdental brushes more frequently, and they also changed toothbrushes more frequently, whereas they attended check-ups less frequently. Dentists also reported a smaller number of teeth with cavities, a greater number of teeth with fillings, a greater number of extracted teeth, and a greater number of dental crowns, but a smaller number of healthy teeth compared to general population. However, dentists had a much higher proportion of participants over 30 years of age, and when sub-analysis of participants over 30 years of age was performed, dentists had a greater number of healthy teeth compared to the general population.

CONCLUSIONS

The results showed that dentists are aware of the importance of their oral health and that they do not pay attention only to their oral hygiene habits, but also apply advice they give their patients. Therefore, they cannot be considered hypocritical.

摘要

目的

牙医为患者提供牙科护理,并就口腔卫生及如何保持口腔健康对他们进行教育。本文旨在确定牙医在向患者建议口腔卫生程序和牙科治疗时是否虚伪,因为他们自己并未将推荐给他人的建议应用于自身。

材料与方法

这是一项通过在线调查问卷进行的自我报告研究,共有1001名参与者完成了问卷,其中551名是非牙医,450名是牙医。这是克罗地亚第一项关于牙医口腔卫生习惯和口腔状况的研究。该研究涵盖了克罗地亚在职牙医总数的近10%。

结果

在牙齿卫生习惯方面,牙医刷牙、使用牙线和牙间刷的频率更高,更换牙刷的频率也更高,而他们看检查的频率较低。与普通人群相比,牙医报告有龋齿的牙齿数量较少,有补牙的牙齿数量较多,拔牙数量较多,牙冠数量较多,但健康牙齿数量较少。然而,牙医中30岁以上参与者的比例要高得多,当对30岁以上的参与者进行亚分析时,与普通人群相比,牙医的健康牙齿数量更多。

结论

结果表明,牙医意识到自身口腔健康的重要性,他们不仅关注自己的口腔卫生习惯,还会应用他们给患者的建议。因此,不能认为他们是虚伪的。
