Abstract

This study carried out questionnaire survey and experiment on oral hygiene effects according to the actual condition of using oral care products and the amount of toothpaste used targeting 40 freshmen and sophomores in dental hygienics in some universities from November 8, 2010 to November 26. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS WIN 15.0 program. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. The result of actual condition of toothbrushing is as follows. As the answer of a question about whether or not toothbrushing after every meal at ordinary times, the largest was 47.5% of being average. The occasion of toothbrushing before going to bed at ordinary times was the largest with 47.5%. The daily toothbrushing frequency was 3 times mostly and the general toothbrushing method at ordinary times was a rolling method. The frequency of exchanging toothbrushes for the past 1 year was 3 times, which is the largest with 45.0%. 2. As a result of the actual condition of using oral care products, the majority of students don't use electric toothbrush, interdental brush, or mouth-rinse except dental floss. Accordingly, there need to be education and promotion with diverse methods so that a patient oneself can prevent oral disease by selecting and using oral care products that are proper for each individual. Also, it was indicated that there is no big difference in oral hygiene effects depending on the amount of toothpaste used. Thus, to avoid wasting toothpaste, we need to educate and promote to use the amount of toothpaste under 0.3g.

본 연구는 2010년 11월 08일부터 11월 26일까지 일부 대학의 치위생과 1, 2학년 재학생 40명을 대상으로 구강건강관리용품의 사용실태와 세치제 사용량에 따른 구강위생효과에 관한 설문조사와 실험을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 15.0프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 잇솔질 �疽쨈� 평상시 매식사 후 잇솔질 시행여부는 보통이다가 47.5%로 가장 많았으며 잠자기 전 잇솔질을 시행하는 경우가 47.5%로 가장 많았다. 일일 평균 잇솔질 횟수는 3회, 평상시 잇솔질 방법은 회전법이 대부분을 차지하였으며 지난 1년간 잇솔 교환횟수는 3회가 45.0%로 가장 많았다. 2. 구강위생보조용품 사용실태는 치실을 제외한 전동잇솔, 치간 칫솔, 구강양치액은 사용하지 않는 경우가 대부분을 차지하였다. 따라서 개개인의 구강환경에 적합한 구강건강관리 용품을 선택 사용하여 구강병을 예방할 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다. 또한 세치제의 사용량에 따른 구강위생효과에는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으므로 세치제의 낭비를 줄이기 위하여 잇솔질 시 0.3 g 이하의 세치제를 사용하도록 교육 및 홍보하여야 한다.
