Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the self awareness of oral health, dental calculus and gingivitis according to smoking in soldiers. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 601 soldiers in Jeonnam military unit from April 7 to 23, 2013. The screening for oral examination was performed in the soldiers. The data were analyzed for frequency analysis and chi-square test by using SPSS 21.0 program. Results : The self awareness of smoking on oral health accounted for 27.0% in good status in nonsmokers, 23.5% of the past smokers answered good, and 16.5% of the smokers answered good. Approximately, 68.7% had dental calculus(p<0.05). The smokers tended to have more gingivitis than the nonsmokers and the past smokers(p<0.05). Conclusions : Smokers had low level of self awareness of oral health than the nonsmokers and the past smokers.
