Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate influential factors for the use of oral hygiene supplies with a view to give the right directions for related oral health education. Methods : Subjects were recruited in dental clinics in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Questionnaire data were carried out from June 1 to August 31, 2012. Results : 1. The awareness towards oral hygiene supplies revealed a mean of $5.46{\pm}3.87$ out of 14 points. Familiarity with the oral hygiene supplies was $2.62{\pm}2.66$ and that of oral hygiene supplies was $2.63{\pm}1.48$. 2. A regression analysis showed that by selecting the use of oral hygiene supplies as a dependent variable and the model turned out to make an 8.1% prediction. Among the selected independent variables, familiarity with the use of oral hygiene supplies revealed a statistically significant influence on the use of oral hygiene supplies that was a dependent variable(p<0.000). Conclusions : Awareness of oral hygiene supplies didn't have a lot of impact on the use of the supplies. It is important to motivate learners to make use of oral hygiene supplies in case of oral health education.
