Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of mothers education attainment on prevalence of dental caries among their preschool children. Methods: Data were obtained from the third 2006 Korea National Oral Health Survey. A total of 515 preschool children aged 2 to 7 years and their mothers were selected in this study. We used mother's education level as her socioeconomic position and controlled children's tooth brushing frequency, tooth brushing before bed, the frequency of eating snack, and the preventive dental visit. Whether children experienced dental caries or not and the number of decayed or filled or missing tooth surface they had were used as outcome variables. Results: The proportion of children affected with dental caries was 46.21%. The mother's education level affected children's caries significantly (p<0.05) and children whose mother attended less than high school had more possibility of having caries than children whose mother graduated from college or more (p<0.05). This effect was still significant and got larger(p<0.05), even after controlling children's dental health behavior. Conclusion: This study showed that mother's education level affected the prevalence of caries among their preschool children. In addition, this result indicated a need for more definite policy for children's dental health in lower socioeconomic class with general dental education.

이 연구는 일부 아동들을 대상으로 일상생활구강영향지수와 구강건강관련행태, 구강건강상태를 조사하였으며, 일상생활구강영향지수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고, 서로간의 연관성을 알아보고자 2012년 3월부터 5월까지 인천광역시와 천안시 소재 일부 학교 아동 200명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였다. 그 중 설문조사가 완료된 175명을 최종 분석대상으로 하여 SPSS WIN 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 일반적 특성과 C-OIDP 불편경험 항목 수, 구강건강관련 행태와 C-OIDP 불편경험 항목 수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 그리고 C-OIDP 불편 경험 항목 수가 많을수록 충전유치치면과(p=0.024), 우식경험유치치면이 많고(p=0.049), 구강 내 전체충전치면과(p=0.021) 구강내 전체우식경험치면 역시 많은 것으로 나타났다(p=0.047). 이것은 객관적인 구강건강상태와 주관적 지표인 C-OIDP가 서로 관련성이 있음을 보여준다. C-OIDP 여덟 항목 중 영향빈도가 높은 것은 식사하기, 치아 닦기, 웃기 순이었으며, 구강 내 전체 우식경험치면수가 많고, 지난 한 달간 잇몸 통증을 경험한 대상자에서 C-OIDP 항목점수가 높았다. 이것은 C-OIDP가 우식과 치주 상태와 관련이 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 이 연구는 주관적 구강건강지표와 실제 구강건강과의 관련성을 본 연구로서 매우 의미 있는 연구이며, 앞으로 C-OIDP에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the basic conditions of dental health of cleft lip and palate patients at early mixed dentition (7-year-old, experimental group A) and early permanent dentition period (12,13-year old, experimental group B) and compare them with those of normal children. The sample was consisted of 25 patients at the age of 7 years, 15 at the age of 12 years and 5 at the age of 13 years. Two trained dentists examined orthopantomographs and clinical photos at the first visit of each patient and distinguished the states by teeth and dental surface and filled them on the prescribed forms. DMF rate, DMF index, FT rate, mean number of permanent teeth with fissure sealants, DMFS index and mean percentage of caries experienced maxillary anterior 6 teeth by tooth type are calculated and compared to those of other studies examined normal children. Oral hygiene of experimental groups is poorer than control groups'. Preventive and treatment rate of experimental groups' are lower than control groups'. More concem and effort are needed about prevention and treatment of dental caries of cleft lip and palate patients.
