초록
최근들어 국내에서 심신장애인수가 계속 증가하고 있지만 이들에 대한 구강건강상태의 전반적인 기초자료는 아직까지 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 장애인의 구강상태를 조사하고 정상인과의 차이점을 연구하여 건강한 구강상태를 유지 시키는 참고자료를 얻기위하여 시행하였으며, 267명의 장애인에 대해 치아우식증, 치주질환 상태, 교합상태를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 장애인의 우식유치경험율, 우식경험유치면지수, 우식경험영구치지수가 정상인보다 낮았다. 2. 장애인의 치은염유병자율이 나이에 따라 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 정상인보다 높았다. 3. 장애인들은 정상인 보다 II급, III급 부정교합빈도가 더 높았다.
The reports concerning dental disease in handicapped children are contentious, and there are many differences of opinion as to what extent handicapped children differ in oral health and disease from healthy children. The present study was done by conducting a comprehensive study and evaluation of the oral health between the 267 handicapped and the 128 normal persons with regard to caries rate, occlusion and the condition of the periodontium. The result showed that the dft, the dfs and DMFT indices of handicapped persons according to age were significantly lower than those of normal persons(p<0.05). The prevalence of gingivitis in handicapped persons increased with age and was significantly higher than those reported for normal persons(p<0.001). It was found that the handicapped group had a significant difference in the class distribution of occlusion, with a higher percentage of Class II and Class III occlusion from that observed in the control group(p<0.05).
