Özet:

 Research on the effects of probiotics on oral health is increasing. But there is limited information on the knowledge and attitudes of dentists, towards probiotic products and their impact on probiotic product consumption. The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge, opinions, and attitudes of pediatric dentists in Turkey regarding probiotics.A total of 100 pediatric dentists 80 females, 20 males participated in the survey. Among the participants, 44 were doctoral or specialization students in the field of pediatric dentistry, and 24 had more than 15 years of professional experience. 83 of the respondents correctly identified the definition of probiotics, while 30 believed that probiotics were only bacteria. 66 of pediatric dentists stated that they had an average, good, or very good level of knowledge about probiotics, and this percentage did not show a statistically significant difference concerning their academic level in the field of pediatric dentistryp0.077. 64 of pediatric dentists recommended probiotic products to their patients, with the highest percentage79.4 recommending them for preventive purposes during antibiotic treatment. It has been concluded that the knowledge level of pediatric dentists participating in this study regarding probiotics is sufficient. Participants hold positive views about probiotic use; however, there is a lower rate of recommending probiotic use to patients.

 Probiyotiklerin ağız sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri üzerine araştırmalar artmaktadır. Fakat dişhekimlerinin probiyotik ürünlere ilişkin bilgi ve tutumları ve bunların probiyotik ürünlerin tüketimi üzerindeki etkisi hakkındaki bilgi sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiyedeki çocuk diş hekimlerinin probiyotiklerle ilgili bilgi, görüş ve tutumlarının değerlendirilmesidir.Ankete 100 çocuk diş hekimi 80 kadın, 20 erkek katılmıştır. Katılımcıların 44ü çocuk diş hekimliği alanında doktora veya uzmanlık öğrencileri iken; 15 yılı aşkın mesleki deneyimi olanların oranı 24tür. Çalışmaya katılanların 83ü probiyotiklerle ilgili tanımlamayı doğru işaretlerken; 30u probiyotiklerin sadece bakteriler olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Çocuk diş hekimlerinin 66sı probiyotiklerleilgili kendilerinin orta, iyi veya çok iyi bilgi düzeyine sahip olduğunu belirtmiştir ve bu oran, çocuk diş hekimliğialanındaki akademik derece ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır p0.077. Çocuk diş hekimlerinin 64ü probiyotik ürünlerin kullanımını hastalarına önermiştir ve en çok 79.4 antibiyotik tedavisi sırasında koruyucu amaçla tavsiye etmişlerdir.Bu çalışmaya katılan çocuk diş hekimlerinin probiyotikler hakkındaki bilgi düzeyinin yeterli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Katılımcılar probiyotik kullanımıyla ilgili olumlu görüşe sahiplerdir ancak hastalara probiyotik kullanımını önerme konusunda daha düşük bir oran bulunmuştur.
