This study investigated the awareness and purchase status of the private dental insurance. Self-reported survey was conducted with patients over the age of twenties who visited dental institutions located in Seoul Metropolitan City and Gyeonggi Province. The demographic and health related characteristics of respondents were analyzed, and logistic regression was conducted to examine factors affecting the awareness and purchase of private dental insurance. Because only four years had been passed since the introduction of private dental insurance, the awareness and purchase rate was found to be low. However, the number of people considering subscription due to the economic burden of dental care service was relatively high. Factors affecting awareness were satisfaction of the national health insurance, purchase of private health insurance and private dental insurance, self-perceived dental health status, and smoking. The variables affecting purchase of dental insurance were age, awareness, purchase of private health insurance, smoking, number of visits to dental institution. Because qualitative and quantitative change would be made in the dental care utilization due to the rapidly growing dental insurance subscribers, further studies regarding the trend of purchase rate of private dental insurance and the effect of dental insurance on use of dental institution are needed.

본 연구는 구강보건행태 방법을 이해하고 다양한 연령층과 직업, 잇솔질 횟수와 잇솔질 시기를 분석하여 개개인의 구강건강을 증진시키기 위한 연구자료 및 구강보건 인식 증진 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 2007년 10월 22일에서 23일까지 대전광역시에 거주하는 만 19세 이상 남녀를 대상으로 무작위 표본추출로 선정된 응답자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 분석하였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 분석한 결과 성별인 경우 여자가, 연령은 20대, 교육 수준 별로 대학교 재학 이상, 직업은 화이트칼라(전문직), 가계 수입별로는 500만원이상, 체질당지수는 저체중, 흡연 여부에서는 비흡연이, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 주관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용에 대하여 분석한 결과 교육수준에서 학력이 높을수록, 전문직일수록, 평균 월 수입이 많을수록, 흡연 유무에서는 비흡연, 최근 2년간 건강검진 경험의 경우 경험이 있는 사람이, 관적 건강상태의 경우 좋을수록 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3회 이상 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 남성에 비해 여성이, 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 가정주부가, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 3회일 경향을 보였다. 식사 직후 잇솔 사용을 종속변수로 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시한 결과 학력은 중졸이하에 비해 고졸, 대졸이, 직업은 학생에 비해 자영업과 가정주부가, 흡연자에 비해 비흡연자가, 건강검진 경험자, 주관적 건강상태는 좋을수록 잇솔 사용 횟수가 식후 잇솔질의 경향을 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때 높은 교육수준이나, 건강에 대한 자기 신념이 높은 사람들은 구강 관리도 소홀하지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 그렇지 못한 그룹은 지속적인 교육 및 관리를 하여 구강관리의 중요성을 일깨워줘야 됨은 물론이며, 구강관리 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 건강관리에 대한 교육 프로그램을 개발 연구되어야 할 것이다.

Data were collected from total of 326 subjects in their forties and fifties by using questionnaire and examination of periodontal health status. Results were analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0. The smoking status were statistically significant to gingival index (p<0.01), pocket depth (p<0.001), and clinical attachment loss (p<0.001). Smoking amount per day were statistically significant to gingival index (p<0.05), pocket depth (p<0.01), and clinical attachment loss (p<0.001). Duration of smoking were statistically significant to gingival index (p<0.05), pocket depth (p<0.01), and clinical attachment loss (p<0.001). Drinking cycle were statistically significant to gingival index (p<0.05), and clinical attachment loss (p<0.05). It is investigated that smoking (p<0.05) influence on clinical attachment loss. Dental care institute needs to make patients be aware of the fact that excessive smoking and drinking affect the periodontal health status for prevention of periodontal disease and maintenance of oral health.
