본 연구는 2014년 9월부터 2015년 2월까지 부산지역 소재 K병원 건강검진을 이유로 방문한 대상 자에게 연구목적 및 방법을 설명하고, 연구참여에 동의한 369명의 성인을 대상으로 치과의사가 구강 검진을 수행하고 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시한 결과 전체 남자가 101명(27.4%), 여자가 268명(72.6%) 이였다. 50-59세 여자가 85명(75.9%)로 가장 많았으며 남자는 30-39세가 20명(33.9%), 60세 이상이 20 명(31.7%)이였다. 대상자의 구강건강상태는 우식치아가 있는 경우가 120명(32.5%), 수복치아는 236명 (64.0%), 치은염증은 318명(86.2%), 치주질환은 319명(86.4%)이 이환경험이 있었다. 구강건강인식에 따 른 구강건강상태는 설탕섭취를 하지 않거나 비흡연자에게서 상실치아나 우식치아가 없었으며 구강위 생에 문제가 있는 것으로 문제인식을 하는 경우와 흡연자에게서 치은염증(경증) 경험이 가장 많았다. 칫솔질 행태에 따른 구강건강상태에서 칫솔질 횟수와 시간, 힘, 혀닦기 유무 모두 우식치아와 상실치 아 경험과 유의한 차이가 있었으며 칫솔질 방법과 횟수, 시간, 힘에 따라 치은염증 및 치주질환 경험 과 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
In the present study, a total of 369 adult subjects, who 1) visited the K hospital located in Busan city for general medical checkup from Sep 2014 through Feb 2015 and 2) determined to participate in the study after providing the information regarding study objective and related activities, was enrolled. A dentist performed dental examinations and then study subjects provided self-reporting questionnaire. As results, 101 male subjects (27.4%) and 268 female subjects (72.6%) were enrolled for the study. Of subjects, female subjects who were 50 ~ 59 years old (85 subject; 75.9%), were the most prevalent whilst male subjects, who were 30 to 39 years old or 60 years old or older, were the most abundant (20 subjects for both; 33.9%). A total of 120 subjects was found to have decay tooth (32.5%), while 236 subjects had restored tooth (64.0%); further, 318 subjects (86.2%) and 319 subjects (86.4%) had gingival inflammation and periodontal diseases, respectively. When it comes to association between awareness of dental health and actual their conditions (i.e., dental health status), it was found that lost tooth and decayed tooth were not shown in subjects with no sugar consumption or non-smoking. While mild gingival inflammation was found the most in subjects who either were aware of dental hygiene or smoke. In the association with tooth brushing methods, there were significant differences in between decay tooth and lost tooth against 1) frequency of tooth brushing, 2) strength of brushing, and 3) brushing tongue. In addition, the frequency of tooth brushing, its methods, time, and strength were significantly associated with the gingival inflammation as well as periodontal diseases.
