The aim of this clinical study was to assess self-awareness of dental health of X, Y, and Z generations in Turkey.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n Total of 239 individuals were divided into three homogenous groups X Generation (X Gen;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 80), Y Generation (Y Gen;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 80), and Z Generation (Z Gen;\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 79) by their date of birth 1965\u20131980; 1981\u20132000; 2001\u20132013, respectively. Self-rated caries status, frequency of tooth brushing, frequency of dental visits, and actual caries status were recorded. Self-awareness was calculated as the extraction of the numbers of actual caries and self-rated caries and coded as \u25b3 Caries.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Mean Dental caries status was recorded using the number of decayed, missing or filled teeth (dft\/DMFT) was 4.92 for X Gen; 4.68 for Y Gen; 3.66\/3.51 for Z Gen individuals, respectively. Actual caries and self-rated caries were significantly incompatible with each other in all study groups (<0.001). \u25b3Caries were insignificant in X, Y, and Z Generations (>0.05); nevertheless, self-awareness (self-rated caries = actual caries) of Z Gen were found numerically more (23%) compared to other groups. Tooth-brushing habits of all individuals were mostly once-a-day (>0.05). Mean frequency of dental visits were once in a 3.5; 2.9; 1.5 years for X, Y, and Z Gens, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n There is no significant correlation between frequency of dental visits and self-awareness measures. Oral health education should urgently point out for all generations by dental professionals, media, and governmental authorities including preventive methods, oral hygiene instructions all aimed at preventing caries and raising self-awareness.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njcp.njcp_3_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]],"date-time":"2022-01-11T02:18:50Z","timestamp":1641867530000},"page":"1471-1475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Self-awareness of X, Y, and Z generations for dental health"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"ZC","family":"\u00c7elik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c7E","family":"\u00c7ubuk\u00e7u","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"\u00d6zkaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-9-20240907","first-page":"31","article-title":"Tooth decay is the most prevalent disease","volume":"33","author":"Heng","year":"2016","journal-title":"Fed Pract"},{"key":"R3-9-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.26719\/2009.15.1.178","article-title":"Significant caries index values and related factors in 5-6-year-old children in Istanbul, Turkey","volume":"15","author":"Namal","year":"2009","journal-title":"East Mediterr Health J"},{"key":"R4-9-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6831-9-32","article-title":"Managing dental caries in children in Turkey--a discussion paper","volume":"25","author":"Topaloglu-Ak","year":"2009","journal-title":"BMC Oral Health"},{"key":"R5-9-20240907","first-page":"118","article-title":"Dental caries experience, rather than toothbrushing, influences the incidence of dental caries in young Japanese adults","volume":"34","author":"Sonoda","year":"2017","journal-title":"Community Dent Health"},{"key":"R6-9-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1007\/s00784-009-0368-z","article-title":"Interrelation between obesity, oral health and life-style factors among Turkish school children","volume":"15","author":"Cinar","year":"2011","journal-title":"Clin Oral Investig"},{"key":"R7-9-20240907","first-page":"20","article-title":"Dental health status and its related factors of 307 urban schoolchildren in the city of Bursa","volume":"14","author":"Cubukcu","year":"2013","journal-title":"Dent J Dicle"},{"key":"R8-9-20240907","first-page":"12","article-title":"National survey of oral health status of children and adults in Turkey","volume":"27","author":"G\u00f6kalp","year":"2010","journal-title":"Community Dent Health"},{"key":"R9-9-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"935","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adaj.2018.09.004","article-title":"Caries management for the modern age: Improving practice one guideline at a time","volume":"149","author":"Fontana","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Am Dent Assoc"},{"key":"R10-9-20240907","first-page":"115","article-title":"\u00c7ocuklarda di\u015f \u00e7\u00fcr\u00fc\u011f\u00fcnden korunmada florid uygulamalarinin yeri","volume":"4","author":"\u00c7ubuk\u00e7u","year":"2005","journal-title":"G\u00fcncel Pediatri"},{"key":"R12-9-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"A7","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pedn.2018.12.013","article-title":"Generations X, Y, and Z","volume":"44","author":"Betz","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Pediatr Nurs"},{"key":"R13-9-20240907","first-page":"878","article-title":"Generational differences in personality and motivation.
