To study the effects of oral health education on children, weekly education sessions and surveys were held for 214 preschoolers, 6-7 years of age, in 2 K-area kindergartens for 4 weeks in July 2015. Statistics on oral health behaviors such as children with regular dental checkups(p<0.05), children who underwent fluoride application(p<0.05), children without dental caries diagnosis(p<0.001), children with mothers who underwent oral health education(p<0.05) showed significant difference. Oral health knowledge scores(6 being perfect) increased from pre-education scores of 4.96 to post-education score of 5.54. oral health behavior scores(11 being perfect) also increased from pre-education scores of 7.18 to post-education score of 7.75(p<0.001).

본 논문은 임신의 시기가 내분비계의 변화로 인한 프로게스테론의 과잉분비가 발생하여 혈관의 투과성을 항진시켜 구강내의 잇몸 부종, 잇몸 출혈 등을 유발하고, 입덧으로 인한 메쓰꺼움, 몸의 무거움과 나른함, 음식 기호변화, 간식횟수의 증가 등을 겪게 되어 신체뿐 아니라 구강 환경 또한 변화하게 된다는 여러 관련 자료들을 근거로 임산부의 구강 건강상태와 구강보건인식을 파악하고자 2008년 12월 15일 ~ 2009년 1월 30일까지 180명의 임산부를 대상으로 구강건강상태와 구강보건인식에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 설문의 결과 임산부의 생활수준, 분만경험, 임신시기에 따라 생활수준이 좋을수록, 분만경험이 없는 경우에서, 4-6개월 임신시기 시 구강건강상태에 대하여 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 건강한 구강건강을 위한 우선 행위인 잇솔질에서의 교육 수준별, 생활 수준별, 임신 시기별로 식사 후 3회 정도의 잇솔질의 횟수가 유의미한 차이의 결과를 나타내었으며, 잇솔질시 오심과 구토로 잇솔질이 어려운 임산부들의 구강상태 청결을 위해 사용되어지는 보조구강위생용품으로는 치실, 구강 양치액, 혀 클리너, 치간 칫솔이 사용된다는 결과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과의 자료들은 임신 시기 중 가장 고민된다고 답하여준 구강건강 부분에서의 입덧으로 인한 잇솔질의 어려움, 잇몸출혈, 충치, 치석제거, 구강질환 치료의 적정시기, 구취 등의 부분을 임산부 대상의 구강보건교육 시 기존의 자료에 조금 더 중점적으로 다루어져야 하는 부분임을 확인할 수 있었다.
