Abstract

This study is conducted to provide a basis for effective management of bad breath with a poll in 155-scaling patients visiting the dental hygiene department of a university located in Gyeong-gi province after grasping the relevance among halitosis, xerostomia, and stress from them. Analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 18.0. The results of the halitosis measurements based on the general properties showed a significant difference in the hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) level depending on the patient's age; the highest level of 355.61 was observed in patients in their twenties followed by 227.85 in the fifties (p<0.001). The level was higher in cases with sinusitis or rhinitis (p=0.034). The $H_2S$ and $(CH_3)_2S$ levels showed are levant (r=0.492, p<0.01) correlation with the components of halitosis. Further, among other factors affecting breath odor, $(CH_3)_2S$ was shown to increase with increased stress. These results indicate that emotional factors, such as stress, should be considered when diagnosing patients with halitosis, and systematic and standardized diagnostic tools should be developed.

본 연구는 을지대학교 치위생학과에 방문한 스케일링 환자 155명을 대상으로 구취와 구강건조감, 스트레스의 관련성을 파악하여 효율적인 구취관리를 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 실시하였다. 분석은 PASW Statistics 18.0을 이용하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 구취 측정 결과는 $H_2S$의 경우 연령에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 20대가 355.61로 가장 높았고, 다음 50대가 227.85였다(p<0.001). $CH_3SH$가 축농증, 비염이 있는 경우 높게 나타났다(p=0.034). 구취성분 간의 상관관계는 $H_2S$와 $(CH_3)_2S$가 관련성을 보였으며(r=0.492, p<0.01), 구취에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 스트레스가 증가할수록 $(CH_3)_2S$가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과 구취를 호소하는 환자 진단 시 스트레스와 같은 정서적 요인 조사에 좀 더 관심을 가지고 고려해야 할 필요가 있다고 생각되며, 체계적이고 표준화된 진단 도구 개발에 노력해야 할 것이다.
