The Internet versus pediatricians as a source of infant teething information for parents in Turkey

OBJECTIVES: Parents are increasingly searching the Internet to gather information about their children’s health care. This study compared infant teething information obtained from publically employed pediatricians in Istanbul with that obtained from different Turkish websites (parenting, health, professional, news and commercial). METHODS: This study had two parts. The first part used a descriptive design, with two checklists to assess the quality and comprehensiveness of the teething-specific content on 62 parenting or health websites. The second part was a cross-sectional study of 75 pediatricians at public hospitals who completed a structured self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: In total, 54 websites (87.1%) described infant teething as a normal developmental process.

La información primaria se obtuvo mediante el interrogatorio y el examen físico efectuado a cada paciente. Se utilizó el porcentaje como medida de resumen para variables cualitativas. Entre los principales resultados predominaron el sexo masculino (52,0 %), las maloclusiones en este mismo sexo (59,3 %) y el uso del biberón como hábito deformante (41,1 %). Se concluye que en la mayoría de los niños, las disfunciones bucales deformantes estuvieron relacionadas con la presencia de maloclusiones dentarias.
