Abstract :Background: This study aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics, dental and medical information and habits of the patients who applied to the periodontology clinic in the written anamnesis forms routinely filled. Materials and Methods: 1499 individuals aged between 13 and 75 who applied to Adıyaman University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology between 1 January 2018 and 3 March 2021 were included in the study. The patients\' demographic data and systemic and dental conditions were obtained from anamnesis forms routinely filled in the clinic. Data were evaluated statistically. Results: Systemic disease was determined in 351 (23.4%) of 1499 patients. It was identified that 37.6% of the individuals with the systemic disease were men and 62.4% were women (p=0.037). The most common systemic disease is cardiovascular system disease (men: 58.5%, women: 41.5%). Regular brushing habits were found to be higher in women than in men (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the genders regarding flossing use (p>0.05). Conclusion: The systemic and dental conditions in dentistry can directly or indirectly affect the treatment procedure to be administered. Therefore, it is important to learn about the systemic and dental needs of the patients.Keywords : Anamnesis, dental condition, systemic disease
