Summary

This completed study looked at 108 Turkish adults to see if understanding dental health information is linked to gum health. Participants took a reading test about dentistry and had a dental exam. The goal was to find out if people with lower health literacy have worse gum disease, which could help improve prevention efforts.

Who is studied

The study included 108 systemically healthy adults aged 18 years or older who attended the Periodontology Clinic of Biruni University Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul, Türkiye. Participants were native Turkish speakers, able to read and understand Turkish, and provided informed consent. Each participant completed the Turkish version of the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry (TREALD-30) to assess oral health literacy. Periodontal examinations were performed by a calibrated periodontist and included probing depth, clinical attachment level, bleeding on probing, and plaque index measurements. Individuals with systemic diseases, fewer than 20 teeth, or cognitive or literacy limitations preventing questionnaire completion were excluded.
