본 연구는 고령화 사회를 맞이하여 노인들의 구강건강상태와 의치필요도를 알아보고자 하였다. '국민건강 영양조사 제5기 1차년도 (2010)원시자료'의 건강설문조사와 구강검진을 활용하여 노인의 주관적 구강건강 수준과 구강관리 행태에 따른 의치필요도를 조사하기 위하여 분석하였다. 목표 모집단을 우리나라에 거주하고 있는 대한민국 국민이며, 65세 이상 노인표본 1,419명을 조사하였다. 연구대상자의 구강건강상태에 따른 의치필요도의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 카이제곱검정과 교차비 확률을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 주관적인 구강건강상태 중 씹기 불편(p<0.001)과 말하기 불편(p<0.001)이 유의미한 관련성이 있는 것으로 검토되었다. 객관적 구강건강상태에서는 치아우식증 유병률(p<0.001)이 있는 노인에서 의치필요도가 높게 나타났다. 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 의치 필요도는 구강위생보조용품을 사용하지 않는 노인과 치과치료를 받지 않는 노인에서 의치필요도가(p<0.001)매우 높은 것으로 검토되었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 노인의 주관적 객관적 구강건강상태 및 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 의치필요도가 파악되었으며 이러한 결과의 바탕으로 노인의 구강건강상태가 지속적으로 유지 보존될 수 있도록 활발한 구강보건교육 및 전문가 관리가 활발하게 이루어질 수 있도록 프로그램이 계발되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between systemic diseases and denture wear status in elderly. The subjects of this study were 4,340 seniors aged 65 or older who conducted screenings and health surveys using the National Health and Nutrition Survey data during the sixth period (2013, 2014 and 2015). Methods: For the general characteristics and denture wear status according to general systemic diseases, complex sample frequency analysis and cross-analysis were performed. After controlling the general characteristics, complex sample logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between systemic diseases and denture wear status. Statistical software was used for SPSS (SPSS 23.0 for Windows, SPSS Inc, USA). Significance level was considered as 0.05. Results: A multisample logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between systemic diseases and denture wear status. The results showed that the dentured state had a significant effect on dyslipidemia and diabetes. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia and diabetes, which are related to denture wearing condition, need to be prevented and treated with regular checkups. In addition, based on the results of the study, it is thought that the elderly need denture prosthetic treatment after tooth extraction. In addition, it can be used as basic data for oral health business plan that can maintain and manage oral health.

Purpose: This study aimed to obtain basic data on oral health improvement by investigating the EQ-5D index according to the oral prosthesis status of elderly persons aged 65 years or older in Korea using the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: In this study, 3,426 elderly persons aged 65 years or older were included to analyze the relationship between the dental prostheses status and EQ-5D index in the collected data. Results: Compared to the "complete denture" in oral prosthesis, EQ in case of no dental prostheses or fixed dental prostheses is comparable to removable prosthetics such as "no dental prostheses," "one fixed bridge," and "two or more fixed bridges." Removable partial denture and complete denture required for the maxillary and mandibular EQ-5D index were significantly higher in "not necessary" than in "complete denture necessary" in all the elderly persons. Conclusion: The condition of the dental prosthesis and the need for a removable partial denture and complete denture for the elderly's EQ-5D index were confirmed, and it was found that the fixed dental prostheses were more effective than the removable dental prostheses. Therefore, oral health education programs for the elderly should be developed to promote dental function and oral health maintenance.

문제제기: 노인요양시설은 치과진료영역 가운데 가장 취약한 상태에 놓여 있고 신체적, 정신적 장애로 인해 주관적 치료요구도를 파악할 수 없는 상태지만 이에 대한 기초적인 실태조사가 전무한 상태이다. 목적: 본 연구는 노인요양시설에서 노인환자들의 치아우식증에 의한 구강실태를 조사하고, 기능치아와 보철물로 이루어진 교합단위를 분석하여 그에 따른 치과치료수요도를 분석하는데 목적이 있으며 향후 적절한 진료방향을 수립하는데 기여하고자 한다. 연구재료 및 방법: 노인요양시설에서 758명의 노인환자와 D치과의원에 내원한 212명의 65세 이상인 노인을 대상으로 2000년 국민구강건강실태조사에서 작성된 치아우식검진지침에 입각하여 구강실태조사를 시행하였다. 결과: 노인요양시설의 노인에게서 고령으로 갈수록 대조군에 비해 악화되고 있는 구강상태를 알 수 있었고 매우 높은 치료수요를 파악할 수 있었다. 고찰: 노인환자의 구강건강관리를 위해서는 무엇보다도 이들을 보살피는 간병인과 간호 인력들이 가지고 있는 구강건강의 중요성에 대한 인식을 바꾸기 위한 노력이 절실히 필요한 상황이다. 이제는 무치악 환자에게 시행되고 있는 일회성 의치사업 일변도의 복지정책방향을 보건복지부와 일선 지방자치단체에서 사후관리를 원칙으로 한 전문가에 의한 무치악 환자의 의치사업으로 강화해야 하며 유치악의 노인환자들에 대한 정기적인 치과검진을 시행하고 이동진료 및 왕진시스템이 보완된 구강건강관리 및 보존, 수복진료 형태로의 전환을 고려할 시점이라 생각된다.

As Korea is entering an aging society, the number of elderly people who need new denture or who have problems with their existing denture or adjacent tissue is increasing and it will double in 2018. Therefore, denture clinician system will lessen patients financial burden and introduce market economy to the dental prosthesis field. Therefore, Korea needs to adopt denture clinician system as soon as possible as USA or Canada to increase people s accessibility in quality and quantity. Denture clinician will determine the size and shape of denture after performing oral examination, make impression using various materials, fabricate denture, deliver and adjust completed denture to the patient, repair denture, and carry out financial management in the denture fabricating company or manage human resources. Considering denture clinicians services, American and European education system seems to be close to our system. Therefore, in this study, basic curriculums of several countries in Europe and America were reviewed and curriculum that meets Korean situation was suggested.
