본 연구는 일부지역사회에서 성인을 대상으로 구강건강관리행태와 계속구강건강관리 경험정도를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 연령이 증가할수록 계속구강건강관리 경험이 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 연령이 증가함에 따라 구강건강관리에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아짐을 확인할 수 있다. 보조구강위생용품을 사용하는 군에 계속구강건강관리 경험이 유의성 있게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 정기적 치과를 방문하는 사람은 계속구강건강관리 경험이 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 또한 예방치과서비스를 경험한 군이 계속구강건강 관리에 관련성이 높게 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과를 토대로 계속구강건강관리에 대한 경험과 영향을 분석함으로써 임상 치위생분야에서 계속구강건강관리 프로그램을 구성할 때 필요한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것이라 보인다.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인 중 당뇨병 진단을 받은 자를 대상으로 당뇨병과 구강건강과의 관련성 및 구강관리 실태를 분석하여 당뇨 환자를 위한 구강제품개발에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. D시의 노인복지관을 방문한 당뇨병 진단을 받은 65세 이상 노인 8명을 연구대상자로 하여 4명을 한 그룹으로 하고 그룹 당 약 40분의 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과 '당뇨와 구강건강', '구강 내 불편감', '구강관리방법', '치과방문', '구강관리를 위한 요구'의 5개의 핵심 주제가 도출되었다. 연구대상자의 대부분이 당뇨와 구강건강의 관련성에 대하여는 처음 들어본다고 대답하였고, 구강건강관리는 하루 3~4회 치약을 사용하여 잇솔질을 하고, 치과방문은 구강에 문제가 생겼을 때만 방문한다고 대답하였다. 구강관리에 필요하다고 생각하는 부분은 당뇨환자 맞춤 구강관리교육과 치약 등 다양한 관리제품들이 개발되었으면 좋을 것 같다고 대답하였다. 본 연구결과를 볼 때 향후 노인 당뇨 환자의 맞춤형 구강건강관리 프로그램개발 및 구강제품개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
