(DTI/Photo courtesy of Hacettepe University, Turkey) he Republic of Turkey still lags significantly behind in terms of oral health. In advance of the FDI 2013 Annual World Dental Congress in Istanbul, Worldental Daily had the opportunity to speak with Profs. Saadet Gökalp and Bahar Güçiz Doğan from Hacettepe University in Ankara, who co-authored the country’s last national oral health survey, about the state of oral health of the Turkish people and what needs to be done to improve the situation in the long run. AD FDI 2014, New Delhi, India Greater Noida Annual World Dental Congress 11 - 14 September 2014 Worldental Daily: According to the last national survey conducted between 2004 and 2005, the oral health status of most Turks seems to be in a devastating state. What were the most important findings from the report? Profs. Saadet Gökalp and Bahar Güçiz Doğan: The survey, which used World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, found that individual oral health care was inadequate and the need for treatment was high throughout all index age groups. Very few people visited a dentist regularly and only sought treatment when they had a problem. According to Turkish Statistical Institute figures, children between 0 and 6 years of age seem to suffer significantly less from oral health problems than children between 7 and 14 years of age do. Why is there such a rapid progression of oral disease at an early age? The methodology of the Turkish Statistical Institute was different from ours. Its data was gathered in May and related to health problems experienced in the last six months by interviewing the mothers or caretakers of the child. However, there was no oral examination, so the dental health status of the subject herself or himself was not assessed. In addition, comparing children between the ages of 0 to 6 years and 7 to 14 years is not informative enough. In fact, WHO recommends assessing and following the dental health status of children of 5, 12 and 15 years of age. For this reason, we investigated patients of these ages in our survey. And what did you find? The report showed a high prevalence of dental caries (68.8 per cent) among 5-year-old children. The decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index at age 12 was 1.9, which is lower than the WHO target for 2000 (DMFT = 3), but the significant caries index was 4.33 and caries prevalence still high (61.1 per cent). The mean DMFT score of 5-, 12- and 15-year-old children was mainly due to the D component, while the F component was very low. The mean DMFT score in the age groups 35–44 years of age (11.2) and 65–74 years of age (25.8) was mainly due to the M component. A billion smiles w welcome elcome the w world orld of dentistry dentistry www www.fdi2014.org.in .fdi2014.org.in www.fdiworldental.org www.fdiworldental.org The Turkish government introduced a national health insurance system in 2008 in order to provide children between the ages of 5 and 15 with better access to dental care. Has the oral health situation improved since then? Unfortunately, there is still no data available related to this issue. However, a national oral health survey is planned to be conducted in 2014 by the same research group who wrote the last report. Once the findings of this survey have been released, I think comparisons will be able to be drawn. Edentulism has been shown to be extremely high among the Turkish elderly. What are the reasons for this high tooth loss in this age group? page 6 4 www.fdiworldental.org[5] =>Anzeigen Stand DIN A4 1Y Year ear e Clinical Masters Pr Program ro ogram in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry 13 days of intensive live training with the Masters in Santorini (GR), Geneva (CH), Pesaro (IT) Three on location sessions with live pa patient treatment, hands on practice plus online learnin mentoring under the Masters’ supervision.

One reason might be that access to dental health services used to be inadequate in Turkey in both rural and urban areas. In addition, there is the widespread belief that the loss of teeth is unavoidable as one grows older. Therefore, tooth extractions are common in this age group, who simply consider this treatment method cheaper and more practical. AD Advance Issue Other significant factors for retaining functional dentition (meaning 21 or more teeth) at this age were place of residence, health insurance and the number of previous dental visits. For example, our study demonstrated that elderly people with no health insurance also had a higher incidence of edentulism (53.2 per cent). Why do women seem to suffer significantly more from oral disease than men do? I believe this issue is related to the status of women in Turkey. Gender discrimination in our country is still present in almost all aspects of life, including health. The dentist–patient ratio in 2011 was 1:3,500, which is below the European average. Does the country need more dentists to serve its 73.6 million population? I think for the near future it is more important to distribute the potential dental work-force throughout the country more equally and to train people better to seek oral health care services before presenting with symptoms of oral disease. I The prevalence of edentulism among elderly Turks is very high. (DTI/Photo Martin Lehmann, Germany) In addition, dentists should be educated in a more prevention-oriented manner during their undergraduate studies. Quality and an ethical work philosophy should be more important than quantity. Every second dentist in Turkey works in one of the five largest cities, an area that equals only 1/40,000 of the country’s total area. What is access to oral health care services like in the rest of the country, which is primarily agrarian? In most villages, oral health care facilities simply do not exist. Most villagers therefore have to go to a district centre in order to attend one of the few government-run oral health care centres, which serve as clinics rather than primary care units. There are very few private facilities in district centres. According to an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report, Turkey currently spends only 6 per cent of its GDP on health care. What role does the lack of knowledge regarding the benefits of good oral health play compared with other factors? Indeed, the least is spent on oral health care and most of the money allocated is spent on treatment rather than prevention. It would be beneficial if knowledge about good oral health behaviour could be spread among the population. Everyone knows the risks of poor oral health for general wellbeing, yet most people do not brush their teeth regularly and correctly. With growth rates of about 10 per cent, Turkey is currently one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe and worldwide. Do you think that this will have any impact on the oral health status of Turks, and what needs to be done to raise awareness of and spending on oral health care in the future? Being one of the fastest-growing economies is not enough. More important for improving oral health and general health is the equal and fair distribution of available resources. If this cannot be provided, very few will be able to benefit from the effects of economic development in the long term. Under the Live.Learn.Laugh. programme, the FDI has conducted a number of programmes in partnership with the Turkish Dental Association and corporate partners to raise awareness of good oral health among Turks in recent years. What do you think the effect of these measures has been, and does Turkey require more of these programmes? If conducted countrywide, especially in rural districts, these programmes can have an important effect, but in my opinion it would be far more effective to have oral health interventions performed within routine health services and by responsible personnel.

Therefore, a key part of military dentistry is to plan dental care for isolated populations nowadays, in addition to providing oral health care to those involved in armed forces and managing their risk of oral disease. Around 70 delegates from 25 countries are expected to meet ahead of the 2013 Annual World Dental Congress for two one-day sessions on the latest issues in military dentistry organised by the FDI Section of Defence Forces Dental Services (SDFDS) in Istanbul. According to Col. Andrew Gray, Director of Defence Dental Services, the event will cover battlefield dentistry, disaster relief and management, as well as forensic dentistry, including mass disaster victim identification. In addition, management of dental service delivery, including performance assessment and improvement, readiness, dental management programmes, oral and maxillofacial treatment, as well as CAD will be in focus. I The SDFDS is welcoming new delegates from countries like Afghanistan this year. (DTI/Photos courtesy of SDFDS) “Military personnel can be operational for various lengths of time without access to dental care,” Gray said. “Thus, risk management of military populations is vital to the success of a mission. Evacuating a soldier from a military environment as a result of a simple toothache is expensive and in many situations very dangerous for the patient and those transporting and assisting.” For the first time, delegates from Afghanistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Ukraine are expected to join the annual event. The meeting will commence with a welcome reception on 25 August at the Military Museum in Istanbul. Delegates will also visit the military facilities of the Turkish Armed Forces as a traditional part of the programme.

While the country at the edge of Europe is considered to be one of the AD fastest-growing economies in the world at the moment, there is little reliable data about its dental market, especially since the Dental Manufacturers and Dealers Association of Turkey (DISSIAD) left the Federation of the European Dental Industry several years ago. According to DISSIAD president and chairman of Öncü Dental Yuksel Akyol, who spoke to members of the press about last year’s IDEX in Istanbul, the Turkish dental industry currently exports dental equipment worth US$50 million. The majority of dental equipment used in the country is imported and, with a few exceptions, most foreign manufacturers operate through local partners. The size of the overall market, including equipment and dental consumables, is estimated to be €150 million, which is significantly lower compared with other countries in Europe, such as Germany, which boasts a market worth over €3 billion. With rates of 6 to 7 per cent per year, however, the Turkish dental market is currently growing faster than all major markets on the continent combined. Products most in demand are imaging devices, dental lasers and implants. In fact, Turkey has become one of the fastest-growing markets in the implant segment, congruent with strong economic growth that weathered the recession far better than the US and nearly any region in Europe. According to a report by Canadian market research provider iData Research published by Dental Tribune last year, the Turkish dental implant, final abutment and computer-guided surgery segment is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20.4 per cent from 2008 to 2018. In order to benefit from low labour costs and growing demand for tooth replacements, among other factors, foreign implant companies, such as Swiss implant specialist Thommen Medical, who recently signed a distribution agreement with BioPort in Istanbul, have begun to establish domestic subsidiaries or local distribution partners, which are constantly expanding consumers’ options. Implants are also developed and manufactured in the country. Istanbul company AGS Medikal Ürünleri was the first to start domestic production of fixed tooth replacements in 2011. Meanwhile, other companies, including Dental Implant KA, have followed in its footsteps and have begun manufacturing their own implant solutions. According to market experts, they will be able to compete internationally in the long run owing to their price advantage. Demand for dental equipment will also be fuelled by an increase in public health spending, as well as dental tourism, which will require dentists, particularly in private practice, to update their equipment and technical knowledge in the next few years. According to reports by Turkish newspaper the Hürriyet Daily News, who spoke to President of the Health Tourism Board Dr Dursun Aydın last year, Turkey currently generates revenues of €1 billion from foreign patients, with most people coming from the US and countries in Europe with high treatment costs, such as Germany and the UK. Market observers currently estimate the potential size of this market to be €3 billion. 10 www.fdiworldental.org[11] =>Anzeigen Stand DIN A4 [12] =>Anzeigen Stand DIN A4 Industry Advance Issue A look at the industry Plenty of innovations to see and discover at World Dental Exhibition W ith more than 200 companies participating in the 2013 FDI Annual World Dental Congress, there will be plenty of new products for dental professionals to see and discover.

By Annemarie Fischer SOUVENIRS While the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar, set within impressive architecture, in Eminönü are reminders of the ancient markets, you can enjoy modern shopping in the numerous mega-shopping centres throughout Istanbul too. The largest and most architecturally striking malls in Europe, they offer global and local brands. “Whatever happens, I can always take a long walk along the Bosphorus,” sums up recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature Orhan Pamuk in his famous book Istanbul: Memories and the City. The name “Istanbul” in the original Greek means a teleological “to the city”, and traces multiple historical, political, and cultural paths—an invitation to walk through time and space. With almost 14 million inhabitants, Istanbul is the largest European metropolis, and the secondlargest city in the world. Founded by the Greeks under the name of Byzantium and later reinaugurated as Constantinople by the Romans, it looks back on a history of a thousand years. In this time, it served as the capital of four empires, with the Ottomans ruling longest from 1299 to 1923. As a transcontinental city, linking Europe and Asia, the city is a cultural melting pot. A conglomerate of districts, representing various aspects of the past and present, Istanbul combines the historical pillars of global empires with the vibrancy of a modern metropolis. Nowhere else can this be experienced better than along Istiklal Avenue, the second-largest pedestrian street in the world, leading from the Galata Tower to Taksim Square, the heart of Istanbul. Boasting more mosques than anywhere in the city, most famous of all the Blue Mosque built by Sultan Ahmed I as part of a larger complex, the Sultanahmet quarter in the south of the European part of the city represents the Old. Nearby Hagia Sophia epitomises the multireligious past of the city, evolving from a Greek Orthodox basilica to a Roman Catholic cathedral to a mosque. Nowadays, this testimony to Byzantine architecture with marble pillars and mosaics is a secularised museum open to visitors. The large Basilica Cistern offers a magical underground experience of light and sound, while Topkapı Palace invites you to wander about the premises of the Ottoman Sultan residence. In the Beşiktaş district, you can experience the transition from empire to republic, and obtain a wonderful view of the Bosphorus from the Dolmabahçe Palace. Churches, synagogues and mosques, as well as museums, can be discovered in a walk through the Balat and Fener quarters. “Real museums are places where Time is transformed into Space,” states Pamuk in his The Museum of Innocence. Uniquely, his book has indeed turned into an actual museum, located in the Beyoğlu 14 www.fdiworldental.org I No other building epitomises the multireligious past of the city better than Hagia Sophia. (DTI/Photos Annemarie Fischer) You can easily reach MetroCity and the Kanyon mall, which offers an outdoor shopping experience, directly from the Levent station of the Istanbul Metro. Europe’s second-largest shopping centre is stanbul Cevahir (M2 line, Şişli). For family entertainment with the indoor Turkuazoo Aquarium and a dinosaur discovery at Jurassic Land, visit Forum Istanbul (M1 line, Kartaltepe-Kocatepe). Fashion is a pillar of Istanbul industry—major brands produce their collections here—so spoil yourself with delicate silk scarves, luxurious pashminas (look out for the genuine ones made of cashmere!), as well as bags and accessories.

For those wishing to escape the summer heat, the Princes’ Islands —an archipelago of nine islands located in the Sea of Marmara— are inviting for day trips, and can be conveniently reached by ferry from Kabataş. No automobile traffic is allowed on the islands, and its horses and carriages, beautiful avenues of pines, and wooden architecture create a special, serene ambiance. TASTING ISTANBUL Traditional Turkish cuisine is based on the Ottoman style of cooking, with influences from Central and Middle Asia, as well as the Balkan countries. Istanbul is the place to enjoy a traditional kebab or köfte kebab, as well as seafood. Indulging in light starters or meze (“taste, flavour, snack, relish”) is the best way to experience Istanbul flavours; try beyaz peynir (literally “white cheese”), acılı ezme (pepper paste), haydari (thick strained yogurt), cacık (yogurt with cucumber and garlic), pilaki (foods cooked in a special sauce), dolma or sarma (rice-stuffed vine leaves or other vegetables), and köfte (meatballs). mint leaves, and yogurt accompanies most meat dishes—the word “yogurt” is of Turkish origin. Enjoy karpuz, watermelon, as a dessert or refreshment in the hot streets. Meals finish with strong siyah çay, black tea, or fruity elma çay, apple tea. Turkish cuisine offers surprising uses of herbs and food combinations: salads are made with A Turkish breakfast is a lavish feast of a simit, a sesame bagel, and tomatoes with cheese and fdi worldental daily Istanbul is the epitome of craftsmanship, especially glassware, such as teapots, delicate glasses, and ornate dishes by Paşabahçe. You can buy simple teacups for everyday use or lavishly ornamented sets in interior decorating and glassware stores. Coffee lovers can accessorise their kitchen with a cezve, the pot used for making Turkish coffee. Tea-drinkers will find the selection of teas—spicy, black, green, apple—alluring. You can add a certain hammam flair to your bathroom at home with highquality soaps; peshtamal, Turkish towels; and notably the exfoliating kese sponge.
