Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and perception of eco-friendly oral products by comparing and analyzing the dental bacterial film removal rate of eco-friendly toothbrushes and general toothbrushes, and by examining the satisfaction of the research subjects with toothbrushes through questionnaires. As a result of the study, there was no significant difference in the removal rate of dental bacterial film between eco-friendly toothbrushes and general toothbrushes, so it was found that the function of eco-friendly toothbrushes was not much different from that of ordinary toothbrushes, and the satisfaction with eco-friendly toothbrushes was generally positive.

본 연구는 친환경적 칫솔과 일반 칫솔의 치면세균막 제거율을 비교 분석하고, 설문지를 통하여 연구 대상자들의 칫솔에 대한 만족도를 조사하여 친환경 구강용품의 효과와 인식에 대하여 알아보고자 하였으며, 이를 통하여 친환경 구강용품에 대한 소비자의 관심을 환기하고 구강용품 선택에 있어 다양한 선택의 기준을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구결과 친환경 칫솔과 일반칫솔의 칫솔 종류별 치면세균막 제거율에 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않은 것으로 보아, 친환경 칫솔의 기능은 일반 칫솔의 기능과 별다른 차이가 없는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 친환경 칫솔에 대한 만족도가 전반적으로 긍정적이었기 때문에 앞으로 미래사회의 더 나은 환경을 위해 소비자들이 친환경 칫솔을 선택하도록 하기 위해서는 친환경 구강위생용품에 대한 관심 증대를 목표로 한 지속적인 홍보와 개발이 선행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.
