    © 2022 by the Turkish-German Gynecological Education and Research Foundation.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and practice behavior of Turkish obstetrician-gynecologists regarding oral healthcare during pregnancy and the association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on randomly selected Turkish obstetrician-gynecologists using a questionnaire consisting of 26 questions during 11th Turkish-German Gynecological Association Congress. Participation in the survey was voluntary. Results: Out of 435 attendees approached, 382 (88%) of the gynecologists at the Congress participated in the written questionnaire. Most of the participants (96.1%) acknowledged a connection between oral health and pregnancy, and 77.5% agreed that periodontal disease may affect the outcome of pregnancy. Moreover, a high proportion of participants were aware of the clinical signs of periodontal diseases, mainly gingival bleeding (92.1%). However, almost 20% of participants thought that dental treatment could be performed safely in the first or last trimester of pregnancy. Only 36.9% of participants recommended guidance on dental examination for their patients during prenatal care. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Turkish obstetrician-gynecologists have a relatively high degree of knowledge with respect to the relationship between periodontal disease and pregnancy outcomes, but practice behavior was poorly correlated with their knowledge.

    Assessment of Relationship between Intelligence Quotient and Orthodontic Treatment Need Procjena odnosa između kvocijenta inteligencije i potrebe za ortodontskom terapijom

    Objective: Low cognitive ability may reduce the ability to understand the importance of oral health and to perform the necessary practices to maintain proper oral hygiene. Early loss of primary teeth following high caries risk may lead to malocclusion of permanent dentition. This study aimed to eval-uate the relationship between the cognitive levels of adolescents and their orthodontic treatment needs. Material and Methods: Between January 2018 and May 2018, 200 adolescents aged 10 – 15 who applied to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Marmara University and sought orthodontic treatment were invited to participate in the study. The orthodontic treatment needs of 150 adolescents who agreed to participate were evaluated with the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Aesthetic Component and their cognitive levels were evaluated with the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) Test. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age (± standard deviation) of 126 adolescents (77 females and 49 males) who completed the SPM test was 11.8 (± 1.3). There was no consistency between the intellectual level and the need for orthodontic treatment (Kappa value = 0.071, p-value = 0.081). There was no correlation between malocclusion sever-ity and intelligence quotient scores of adolescents (ρ [rho] =-0.089, p = 0.322). According to Mul-tiple logistic regression results, there was no difference between ‘borderline need’ (p = 0.059) and ‘great need’ (p = 0.881) from ‘no need’ for orthodontic treatment in adolescents with different intelligence quotients. Conclusions: The results showed no evidence for an association between maloc-clusion and intelligence quotient.
