The purpose of this study was to utilize it as a basic data for local self-government in each region to plan and perform the oral health program targeting children and mothers as guardian. Data had been obtained by using children's oral examination and mothers' self-reported questionnaire method from June 1 to June 30 in 2007 targeting kindergartens where are located in the region of Hwaseong city. The survey was conducted targeting totally 239 people. Its results are as follows. 1. The healthy-tooth rate in the whole children accounted for 79.12%, thus girls were indicated to be a little higher with 80.36% than boys with 78.13%. Carious-tooth rate showed 8.74% for boys and 6.07% for girls. The dental-caries experience treatment rate showed 11.37% for boys and 12.59% for girls. 2. The index of children at age 5, df rate was 39.3% in the whole, thereby having been indicated that boys with 41.3% are higher than girls with 37.2%. Even dft index is showing the higher index in boys with 3.9 than girls with 3.2. 3. As a result of examining mothers' oral-health behavior, mothers with out employment thought the self oral-health state to be good(p = 0.002). In appearance of scaling experience or of periodic dental checkup, a slight difference is being shown according to general characteristics, but wasn't significant. 4. As a result of examining children's oral management, it was indicated that the higher economic level(p = 0.011) and the more in mothers without employment lead to giving a light meal less(p = 0.41). In appearance of children's periodic dental checkup, the higher academic background level(p = 0.047) and the more employment(p = 0.044) led to receiving dental examination.

본 연구는 각 지역자치단체에서 아동 및 보호자인 어머니를 대상으로 구강보건사업을 계획 및 수행하는데 기초자료로 활용하고자 화성시 지역에 위치한 유치원을 대상으로 2007년 6월 1일부터 6월 30일까지 아동의 구강검사와 어머니의 자가기입식 설문지법을 이용하여 자료를 얻었으며, 총 239명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 그에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 전체 아동의 건전치율이 79.12%를 보이고 있으며, 여아가 80.36%로 남아 78.13%보다 약간 높게 나타났으며 우식치율은 남아 8.74%, 여아 6.07%, 우식경험처치율은 남아 11.37%, 여아 12.59%를 보였다 2. 5세 아동의 유치우식경험율(df rate)이 전체 39.3%를 보이고 있으며, 남아가 41.3%로 37.2%인 여아보다 높게 나타났다. 우식경험유치지수(dft index)도 남아가 3.9개로 여아 3.2개보다 높은 지수를 나타내 여아가 남아에 비해 구강건강상태가 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 어머니의 구강건강행위를 알아본 결과 자가구강건강상태는 미취업의 경우가 취업하고 있는 경우보다 더 좋다고 답하였다(p = 0.002). 스케일링 경험 유무나 정기검진 유무에 있어서는 취업하고 있는 경우가 약간 높은 결과를 보이고 있지만 유의하지는 않았다. 4. 자녀의 구강관리를 알아본 결과 경제적 수준이 높을수록(p = 0.011), 취업을 하고 있지 않은 어머니일수록 간식을 적게 주는 것으로 나타났으며(p = 0.41), 자녀의 정기검진 유무에 있어서는 학력수준이 높을수록(p = 0.047), 취업을 하고 있을수록(p = 0.044) 높게 나타났다.
