우리나라에 거주하고 있는 중국인 국내 유학생의 구강건강행태와 치과병의원 만족도를 조사하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 2012년 11월부터 약 2달동안 중국인 유학생 195명을 대상으로 자기기입 설문지를 작성하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 구강건강행위 상태는 국민건강영양조사에 참여한 우리나라 성인과 비교하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 중국인 유학생의 평균 잇솔질 횟수는 2.14회, 우리나라 성인의 평균 잇솔질 횟수는 2.81회로 우리나라 성인의 평균 잇솔질 횟수가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 중국인 유학생의 국내 치과이용의 전반적인 만족도는 3.77점으로 나타났다. 국내 치과 이용시 개선했으면 하는 고려사항에 고비용(15.3%), 의사소통의 어려움(8.6%), 외국인 차별(5.7%) 순으로 나타났다. 중국인 유학생이 국내 체류기간동안 효율적인 학업수행을 위하여 구강건강을 잘 유지되도록 구강보건교육 프로그램을 통하여 올바른 구강건강 습관을 기르는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
