AIM
The present research was carried out to evaluate the amount of usage of dental care opportunities and also to assess the problems faced by health care workers (HCWs) of a south Indian district in using dental services.
METHODOLOGY
This study had around 500 participants who belonged from various health care sectors who were selected with the help of multistage sampling. The data obtained from this cross-sectional research was analysed statistically using SPSS 22.0.
RESULTS
It was noticed that around 35% of participants went for a dentist's appointment in past 1 year where male members predominated (45%). One of the commonest reasons for utilizing dental care services was pain as an dental emergency factor (70%). Other reasons were dental caries (18%) restoration, breakage of tooth (10%) and a host of other factors (11%). Around 350 participants felt that going to the dentist was only necessary when there was an emergency (61%).
CONCLUSION
The target population less frequently visited the dentist to maintain their teeth as they believed when you have pain, that is the time you go to a dental specialist.
目的
开展本研究以评估牙科护理机会的使用量，并评估印度南部某地区医护人员在使用牙科服务时所面临的问题。
方法
本研究有大约500名来自不同医疗保健部门的参与者，通过多阶段抽样进行选取。使用SPSS 22.0对从这项横断面研究中获得的数据进行统计分析。
结果
注意到在过去1年中约35%的参与者去看了牙医，其中男性成员占主导（45%）。利用牙科护理服务最常见的原因之一是作为牙科急诊因素的疼痛（70%）。其他原因包括龋齿（18%）修复、牙齿断裂（10%）以及许多其他因素（11%）。约350名参与者认为只有在紧急情况时才需要去看牙医（61%）。
