Abstract
Background: This study examined the oral health condition of diabetic patients and evaluated the oral health behavior through a questionnaires survey. In addition, this study provide primary informations for developing a dental health program for diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: There were fifty patients with diabetes mellitus or glucose tolerance (controlled by a community health center at Dalsung-Gun in Daegu City and fifty nondiabetic age, gender and location matched control subjects. Data were collected by a direct oral examination and by questionnaires from 100 subjects in July, 2004. Results: The DMFT (Decay, Missing, Filling Teeth) mean values in diabetics were significantly higher than that in non-diabetics (p<0.05). The decay teeth index and Filling teeth index was similar in the two groups, but the mean Missing teeth index was significantly higher in the diabetics than in non-diabetics. The PI (Periodontal Index) mean values were significantly higher in the diabetics than in the non-diabetics (p<0.01). There was a significant difference between the diabetics and non diabetics aged in their 50s and 60s, but there was no difference with those aged in their 70s. The oral hygiene status was similar in the two groups. The average number of remaining teeth was significantly lower in the diabetics (
본 연구는 당뇨병 환자의 구강건강상태를 파악하고 이를 근거로 당뇨병 환자의 구강건강에 대한 인식과 교육의 필요성을 확인하여 당뇨병의 적절한 관리를 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 대구광역시 달성군 지역의 일개 보건 진료소에서 당뇨병 환자 및 내당능 장애로 진단되어 관리하고 있는 50명을 환자군으로 먼저 선정하였고 대조군은 환자군의 연령과 성비를 고려하여 같은 지역에서 당뇨병 환자가 아닌 50명을 대상으로 구강 검사와 설문조사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 당뇨병 환자군과 대조군의 평균우식경 험영구치지수(DMFT index)는 각각
