Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the screening rates and examination results of the national dental screening program for infants and children since its initiation. Data for this study were obtained from the annual health screening statistical yearbook of the National Health Insurance Service. The investigation focused on the screening rate according to year, age, and region, as well as examination results from 2008 to 2021. The study revealed a general increase in screening rates over the years, with a simultaneous decrease observed as the age of the subjects increased. Regional variations in screening rates were observed, with the highest and lowest rates in Sejong and Jeonbuk, respectively. Analysis of examination results revealed an increasing proportion of subjects requiring treatment as they aged. From 2008 to 2013, less than 15% of subjects aged 18 - 24 and 18 - 29 months required treatment, whereas over 30% required treatment in the remaining age groups. Between 2014 and 2021, the proportion of subjects in the 18 - 29 month age group requiring treatment remained under 15%, but it exceeded 40% in the other age groups. In conclusion, active participation in national dental screening for infants and children is crucial to improving oral health outcomes.

이 연구의 목적은 영유아 구강 검진이 시행된 이래의 수검률과 수검 결과에 대해 분석하는 것이다. 국민건강보험공단에서 제공하는 건강검진 통계연보 자료를 활용하였으며, 2008년부터 2021년까지의 연도별, 연령별, 지역별 수검률, 그리고 연도별 수검 결과에 대해 분석하였다. 영유아 구강 검진의 수검률은 해가 지남에 따라 전반적으로 증가하였고, 연령군이 증가함에 따라 수검률은 감소하였다. 지역에 따른 수검률은 세종에서 가장 높게 나타났고 전북에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 영유아 구강 검진의 수검 결과, 연령군이 증가함에 따라 치료 필요 비율이 높게 나타났다. 2008년부터 2013년까지의 수검 결과에서 18 - 24개월과 18 - 29개월의 치료 필요 비율은 15% 미만으로 나타났고, 이외 연령군에서는 치료 필요 비율이 30% 이상으로 나타났다. 2014년부터 2021년까지의 수검 결과에서 18 - 29개월의 치료 필요 비율은 15% 미만으로 나타났고, 이외 연령군에서는 치료 필요 비율이 40% 이상으로 나타났다. 구강 건강의 향상을 위해 영유아 구강 검진에 대한 적극적인 참여를 유도해야 할 것이다.
