ABSTRACT
 Objective: Children's tooth brushing habits might have been affected by various factors such as social isolation, restrictions, and homeschooling due to the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The recent study aimed to determine whether there was a change in the brushing habits of a sample of pediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was held on the patients referred to the Gülhane Faculty of Dental Medicine. The patients aged 3-15 years and homeschooling since March 2020 up to questionnaire time (March 2021) were included in the study. The exclusion criteria were having a systemic disease in medical history and attending face-to-face education. Informed consent was obtained, and eight questions, including demographic features of parents/children and daily brushing habits, were directed to the participants. Results: The total number of participants was determined as 203. The mean age of the participants was 9.4±3 (years), and 53% of them were girls, and 47% of them were boys. Participants declared that they 'rarely' brushed (31%) in the morning and 'every time' (31%) at night before the pandemic. Individuals' brushing frequency was also mentioned as 'rarely' (27%) in the morning and 'every time' (33%) at night during the pandemic. Regarding the answers, no difference was detected between pandemic and pre-pandemic brushing frequencies of participants (p>0.05). The most mentioned answers were detected as 'rarely-in the morning' and 'everytime-at night' for whole periods. Conclusion: This study revealed that the childrens' brushing frequencies have not been affected by COVID-19 pandemic period.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Çocukların diş fırçalama alışkanlıkları, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] salgınına bağlı sosyal izolasyon, kısıtlamalar ve evden eğitim gibi çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenmiş olabilir. Bu çalışma, bir grup çocuk hastanın pandemi dönemi diş fırçalama alışkanlıklarında pandemi öncesi döneme göre bir değişiklik olup olmadığını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Gülhane Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran hastalar üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. 3-15 (yıl) yaş aralığındaki, Mart 2020 tarihinden anket çalışmasının yapıldığı döneme dek (Mart 2021) evden eğitim gören hastalar çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Yüz yüze eğitime devam etmiş olmak ve sistemik bir rahatsızlık mevcudiyeti dışlanma kriterleri arasındadır. Katılımcılardan bilgilendirilmiş onam formu alınmış ve günlük fırçalama alışkanlıkları ile çocuk ve ailelerinin demografik verilerin sorgulandığı 8 soru katılımcılara yönlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızın katılımcı sayısı 203 olarak belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 9,4±3 (yıl) iken %53'ünün kız, %47'sinin erkek olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre katılımcılar pandemi öncesinde sabahları dişlerini 'nadiren' (%31) ve akşamları dişlerini 'her zaman' fırçaladığını (%31) belirtmiştir. Pandemi sırasında ise katılımcıların %27'si dişlerini sabahları 'nadiren' fırçaladığını, %33'ü ise akşamları dişlerini 'her zaman' fırçaladığını ifade etmiştir. Verilen yanıtlar doğrultusunda pandemi dönemi ve pandemi öncesi dönemde katılımcıların diş fırçalama sıklıkları arasında bir değişiklik olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (p>0,05). Tüm zamanlar için en sık verilen cevaplar 'sabahları-nadiren' ve 'akşamları-her zaman' olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonuçlarına göre çalışmamıza katılan çocukların diş fırçalama sıklıklarının COVID-19 pandemi döneminden etkilenmediği tespit edilmiştir.
