Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the high caries risk group of 12-year-old children in Korea. Oral health status and interview data were collected from 23,089 children aged 12 years who participated in the 2015 Korean Children's Oral Health Survey. Subjects were classified into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the Significant caries (SiC) index, and the influence of each variable was analyzed. As a result of the study, the SiC index of the high-risk group was 5.08, which was about 9.6 times higher than the low-risk group. The risk factors associated with the high-risk group were in the order of the number of sealant teeth, dental treatment demand for the past year, perceived oral health status, gender, region, frequency of snack intake per day, and use of oral hygiene aids. In order to improve the oral health of children, appropriate preventive treatment and oral health education should be carried out with reference to the items indicated as risk factors in the high-risk group of dental caries.

이 연구의 목적은 치아우식증 고위험군에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 특성과 구강건강관련행태 요소들을 파악하는 것이었다. 2015년도에 실시한 아동구강건강실태조사 자료 중 12세 아동 23,089명의 구강상태 및 설문조사 자료를 분석에 이용하였다. 대상자를 Significant caries (SiC) index에 따라 고위험군과 저위험군을 분류하고 각 변수들의 영향력을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 한국 12세 아동의 치아우식증 고위험군의 SiC 지수는 5.08로 저위험군에 비해 약 9.6배 높게 나타났다. 고위험군과 관련된 위험요인은 제1대구치 치면열구전색 여부, 지난 1년간 치과 수진 여부, 주관적 구강건강인식, 성별, 지역, 1일 평균 간식섭취 횟수, 구강보조용품의 사용, 점심식사 후 칫솔질 여부의 순으로 나타났다. 치아우식증 고위험군의 위험요인으로 나타난 항목을 참조하여 적절한 예방조치와 구강보건교육이 시행된다면 아동들의 구강건강 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
