Abstract
This study was intended to prepare the basic data required for the development of oral products for the patient with diabetes by analyzing the relation between diabetes and oral health and the actual condition of oral care from the senior citizens diagnosed with diabetes out of the senior citizens over 65. In this study, 8 senior citizens who visited the senior welfare center in D city, were organized into the group of 4 senior citizens and the interview approximately for 40 minutes per group was conducted. In the results of this study, 5 core topics of 'Diabetes and Oral Health", 'Oral Discomfort', 'Oral Care Method', 'Visit to Dentist' and 'Demand for Oral Care' were drawn. For the relation between diabetes and the oral health, the most of research subjects answered that they heard about it for the first time, They answered that for the oral health care, they brushed the teeth using toothpaste 3 ~ 4 times a day and for the visit to dentist, they visited the dentist only when they had oral problem. For what is necessary for oral care, they answered that they wish that the oral care education customized for patient with diabetes and diverse oral care products such as toothpaste, etc. would be developed. Considering the results of this study, the development of oral care management program and the development of oral products in future are deemed to be necessary.
