Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the risk factors affecting dental caries in children by using the 2018 children's oral health survey data. The study was conducted on 20,235 children who were 12 years of age. The survey items examined general characteristics, dental dietary behavior, the oral condition, and the behavioral factors related to oral health. The results showed that gender, region, economic level, subjective oral health condition, dental dietary behavior, oral condition and oral health-related behavior were all risk factors. Those children with oral conditions particularly showed a higher risk of the dental caries symptoms of dental calculus, dental bleeding, tooth pain and white spot teeth. The oral health-related behaviors were found to be tooth brushing less than two times a day, the risk of not using a handle to hold dental floss and not using dental floss. Our results showed that countries or communities can diagnose and manage dental well-being early on for children with the highest sensitivity of dental health and they need to continue to establish a dental well-being management system for the oral health care of children. In addition, oral health education should be expanded, which can improve oral health care habits of children and adolescents. Further, an oral health policy system for improving community programs to prevent dental and community utilization is needed.

본 연구는 2018년 아동 구강건강실태조사자료를 활용하여 아동의 치아우식증에 영향을 미치는 위험 요인을 알아보고자 시행하였다. 연구 대상은 만 12세 아동 20,235명을 대상으로 시행하였다. 조사항목으로 일반적인 특성, 치아우식 식이 행태, 구강 상태, 구강건강 관련 행태 요인을 조사하였다. 그 결과 성별, 지역, 경제수준, 주관적 구강건강 상태, 치아우식 식이 행태, 구강상태, 구강건강 관련 행태 모두 위험요인으로 나타났다. 특히 구강 상태는 치석, 치은 출혈, 치아 통증, 반점치 증상을 나타내는 학생에서 치아우식증 위험도가 더 높게 나타났다. 구강건강 관련 행태는 잇솔질 횟수 2회 이하, 치실과 손잡이 치실 미사용 학생에서 치아우식증 위험도가 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 치아우식증의 감수성이 가장 높은 아동을 대상으로 국가나 지역사회는 치아우식을 초기에 진단하여 관리할 수 있고 계속 구강건강관리를 위한 치아우식 관리사업체계를 구축함이 필요하다. 또한 아동·청소년기의 구강건강관리 습관을 개선시킬 수 있는 구강보건교육을 확대하고 치아우식증 예방 프로그램 개선 및 지역사회 활용의 구강보건정책의 체계가 필요하다.
