Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for healthy and effective dental management by providing the knowledge and information on periodontal health promotion as well as high dental health interests, by doing a comparative analysis of the effect of dental health knowledge and oral hygiene management skills of people in their 20s on periodontal health status assessment, to find periodontal disease early and prevent it targeting 130 adults in their 20s who visited dental hygienic lab for comprehensive dental hygiene care and treatment from September 25 to October 30. The data collected used SPSS 18.0. To present the technical characteristics of the data, frequency was used and chi-squared test through cross-analysis was conducted to investigate dental health knowledge and the relevance between the variables of oral hygiene management skills of general characteristics. To examine periodontal health status assessment, t-test and One-way ANOVA and Turkey post-hoc tests were carried out at the 5% significance level. Regression analysis was performed to investigate the impact of dental health knowledge and oral hygiene management skills on dental health status assessment. As a result of this study, as dental health knowledge on tooth brushing of people in their 20s increased, plaque index reduced, as dental health knowledge on periodontal disease increased, plaque index reduced. Dental health status assessment according to a total number of times tooth brushing, tooth brushing methods, whether to use dental hygiene devices, smoking status, drinking frequency per week, whether to have oral health education was statistically significant. To improve the level of dental health knowledge and oral hygiene management skills, oral health education should be strengthened as well as the publicity through the media to have the information on oral health and learn it.

본 연구는 치주질환을 조기에 발견하고 예방하기 위해 20대의 구강보건지식과 구강위생관리능력이 치주건강상태평가에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석함으로써 국민의 구강보건관심도를 높일 뿐 아니라 치주건강증진활동에 지식과 정보를 제공하여 건강하고 효율적인 구강관리를 하는 데 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 조사되었다. 포괄 치위생 관리 및 처치를 위하여 치위생과 실습실을 방문한 20대의 성인 130명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 치주건강상태를 평가하였다. 일반적 특성, 구강보건지식, 구강위생관리능력과 치주건강상태평가의 연관성을 조사 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 성별에 따른 잇솔질(p=0.030)과 구강위생용품(p=0.047)에 대한 구강보건지식은 통계적으로 유의하였고, 여성이 구강보건에 대한 지식이 높게 나타났다. 2. 성별에 따른 잇솔질(p=0.030)과 구강위생용품(p=0.047)에 대한 구강보건지식은 통계적으로 유의하였고 여성이 구강건강에 대한 지식이 높게 나타났다. 3. 성별에 따른 유두변연부착 치은염지수(p=0.047)와 지역사회치주지수(p=0.028)는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 남자의 유두변연부착 치은염지수, 지역사회치주지수는 여자보다 높았다. 학력에 따른 출혈지수(p=0.042)는 통계적으로 유의하였고, 고졸 이하가 가장 높았다. 4. 잇솔질(p=0.030), 치주질환(p=0.024)에 대한 구강보건지식이 치면세균막지수에 미치는 영향이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 잇솔질에 대한 구강보건지식($\beta$=-0.137)이 증가하면 치면세균막지수가 감소하고, 치주질환에 대한 구강보건지식($\beta$=-0.144)이 증가하면 치면세균막지수가 감소한다. 5. 잇솔질 총 횟수에 따른 유두변연부착 치은염지수는 2회가 가장 높았다. 잇솔질 방법에 따른 치면세균막지수는 묘원법이 가장 높았으며, 횡마법, 회전법 순으로 나타났다. 구강위생용품을 사용하지 않는 경우의 지역사회치주지수와 출혈지수가 구강위생용품을 사용하는 경우보다 높았다. 흡연의 경우 유두변연부착 치은염지수, 지역사회치주지수, 출혈지수가 흡연을 하지 않는 경우보다 높았다. 주 당 음주 횟수에 따른 지역사회치주지수와 출혈지수는 3회 이상이 가장 높았다. 구강보건교육을 경험하지 못한 경우의 유두변연부착 치은염지수가 구강보건교육을 경험한 경우보다 높았다.
