The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between sibship size, birth order, gingival health, and oral health habits in systematical healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: question 1: Is there any association between birth order and gingival health? question 2: Is there any association between birth order and oral health habits? question 3: Is there any association between birth order, sibship size, childhood socioeconomic factors, perinatal characteristics, and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Periodontal Disease? Participants will simply have their routine periodontal examination, fill out the provided questionnaire, and continue their routine periodontal treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• socio demographic questionnaire and clinical parameters

  It will be determined whether there is a relationship between the current periodontal status of the participants and their birth order.

  Through study completion, an average of 4 months

• socio demographic and oral oral hygiene habits questionnaire

  It will be determined whether there is a relationship between the current oral hygiene habits of the participants and their birth order.

  Through study completion, an average of 4 months

• Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14)

  It will be determined whether there is a relationship between the current oral health related quality of life of the participants and their birth order. A high score of OHIP-14 indicates low OHRQoL.

  Through study completion, an average of 4 months

Study Arms (2)

Gingival healthy

People who do not have clinical attachment loss in their gums, pocket or bone loss, and whose bleeding percentage in their gums is 10% or less

Gingivitis

People who do not have clinical attachment loss in their gums, pocket or bone loss, and whose bleeding percentage in their gums is 10% or more

Eligibility Criteria

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who came to the Periodontology clinic secretariat for periodontal treatment and who met the inclusion criteria of the study will be included in the study. In order to minimize the effects of aging, the participant age was limited to 18-30. Only people whose parents were still married and who had a maximum of 3 siblings other than themselves were included in the study. It was thought that including participants whose parents were not currently married, whose parents were deceased, who had a half-sibling or who had more than three siblings would increase the confounding variables resulting from divorce or growing up in a family with multiple siblings, so these cases were not included in the study.

You may qualify if:

• Volunteers between the ages of 18-30
• Not having any additional comorbidities
• Having at least 20 teeth in the entire mouth
• Getting diagnosed with healthy gums or Periodontitis
• Having spent his childhood with both parents

You may not qualify if:

• Not agreeing to participate in the study
• Having a psychiatric, mental or physical disability
• Being pregnant and lactating
