Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in the prevalence of dental caries and demand for dental caries treatment among children under 14 years old using Health Insurance Review and Assessment data. The analysis was conducted using treatment records from a random sample of approximately 1 million pediatric patients from a population that included all children and adolescents for each year from 2011 to 2020. In this study, the number of children diagnosed with K02 dental caries and the number of children receiving dental caries treatment across all ages have increased. However, the number of children aged 10 to 14 who received pulp treatment or extraction has decreased. In the National Survey of Children's Oral Health, the decay-missing-filled teeth index for 5- and 12-year-olds has stagnated or increased slightly, but the percentage of the population with active dental caries has decreased. Accessibility and local environments for dental caries treatment have generally improved compared to the past, but preventive dental care has stagnated over the past decade. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health programs implemented in Korea to promote and prevent dental caries among children.

이 연구의 목적은 건강보험심사평가원의 자료를 이용하여 만 14세 이하 소아청소년들의 치아 우식 유병률의 경향성과 치료의 현황을 파악하는 것이다. 이 연구는 2011년부터 2020년까지 연도별로 전체 소아청소년이 포함된 모집단에서 약 100만명을 무작위 표본 추출한 집단의 진료내역을 이용하여 분석을 시행하였다. 이 연구에서 K02 치아우식 주상병명을 진단받는 아이들은 연도별로 증가하였고, 전반적으로 모든 연령군에서 치아 우식 치료를 받는 아이들도 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 반면 중증의 치아 우식으로 인해 치수 치료 또는 발치를 경험한 10 - 14세 어린이들은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 2021 - 2022년 아동 구강 건강 실태조사에서도 5세와 12세의 우식경험지수는 정체되거나 소폭 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 우식 유병자율은 감소하였다. 치료적 관점에서 개인적, 지역적 환경은 과거에 비해 전반적으로 개선된 것으로 나타났으나 예방적 관점에서 치아 우식 유병 상태와 예방 진료가 지난 10년간 개선되지 않고 정체 상태로 머물러 있던 것으로 해석된다. 따라서 대한민국에서 소아청소년을 대상으로 구강건강 증진 및 예방을 위해 시행되고 있는 구강 보건 사업에 대한 홍보와 효용성에 대한 평가가 필요하다.
