Through analysis of it's results and evaluation of oral health care grade on patients, this study arranged for basic data about individualized oral instruction to improve public oral health. 1. As individualized oral instruction was processed, control mark of dentalplaque improved greatly. 2. Control mark of dentalplaque on sex, female's control mark was higher than male's it. But, a gap of control mark was small. 3. Control mark of dentalplaque on age, control mark of patients in their 50s to 59s and 30s to 39s was higher than average of the whole. 4.

본 연구는 환자 스스로 구강관리를 적절히 할 수 있는 기술을 익히도록 개개인을 상대로 4차례의 맞춤형 구강교육을 실시하여 성별, 나이별, 직업별, 가정의 월 평균 소득별, 학력별로 1차에서 4차까지의 치면세균막 관리점수를 산출하고, 이를 분석하여 환자의 구강관리 정도를 평가함으로서 국민 구강건강 증진을 위해 환자별 맞춤형 구강교육에 대한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 1. 환자별 맞춤형 구강교육의 진행에 따라 치면세균막관리점수가 높아졌다. 2. 성별 치면세균막 관리 평균점수는 남자보다 여자의 점수가 조금 더 높았으나 큰 점수차이는 나타나지 않았다. 3. 나이별 치면세균막 관리 평균점수는 50~59세, 30~39세가 전체 치면세균막 평균점수보다 1차~4차 모두 높게 나타났으며, 20~29세, 40~49세, 60세 이상은 1~4차 모두 낮게 나타났다. 4. 직업별 치면세균막 관리 평균점수는 무직과 전문직에서 높은 점수가 나타났다. 5. 가정의 월 평균 소득별 치면세균막 관리 평균점수는 250만원 미만이 가장 높은 점수를 보였고, 250~500만원 미만이 가장 낮은 점수를 나타냈다. 6. 학력별 치면세균막 관리점수는 1차와 2차에서는 대졸이상이 가장 높은 점수를 나타냈고, 3차와 4차에서는 전문대졸 또는 대학중퇴가 높은 점수를 나타냈다.
