Methods: Dental examination were done to 82 children, and a survey was conducted to 82 parents of them. This researcher conducted multiple regression analysis to figure out how parents' oral health management behavior towards their children influences their oral health condition. Results: Among the kinds of parents' oral health management behavior towards their children, when they received a lower score in guidance for dietary control, children tended to have more dt index. Among the kinds of parents' oral health management behavior towards their children, guidance for tooth brushing and guidance for oral care influenced their children's O'leary index. When they received a higher score in guidance for tooth brushing and guidance for oral care, their children's O'leary index became lower. Conclusions: This study has found that parents' dietary guidance provided to children influences their dt index, and O'leary index, one of the major causes of dental caries, is influenced by parents' guidance for tooth-brushing and guidance for oral care. Therefore, we should realize that according to the degree of parents' interest in children's oral care, children's state of oral health can be changed, and parents should acquire proper knowledge about oral health and instruct and train their children desirably.

본 연구는 구강건강상태와 구강건강관리 행태에 따른 삶의 질을 측정하기 위하여 2013년 3월부터 7개월간 일부지역의 치과병 의원에 내원한 환자를 대상으로 구강검사 및 설문조사를 실시하여 최종 384명을 분석하였다. OHIP-14는 일반진료를 받은 환자에서 가장 높았고, 하위영역으로 기능제한 교정치료 8.27점, 신체적 동통 7.24점, 정신적 불편감 7.90점, 신체적 능력저하 7.79점, 정신적 능력저하 8.14점, 사회적 능력저하 8.24점 모두 일반진료에서 높았고, 사회적 불리에서는 교정치료(8.78)점으로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 성별에서는 모두 남자에서 높았고, 연령에서는 연령이 증가할수록 삶의 질이 나빠졌으며, 직업은 주부에서 대부분 낮게 나타났고, 전신질환이 없는 경우 삶의 질이 높게 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강건강관리 행태에서는 정기검진을 받지 않고, 통증 시 치과내원이 가능한 경우 삶의 질이 높게 유의한 차이를 보였다. 구강건강상태에서는 실란트 시술을 받은 치아, 충전치료를 받은 치아와 상실치아, 보철치료를 받은 치아, 임플란트 식립 치아가 없는 경우 삶의 질이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 개인의 삶의 질에 영향을 향상시키기 위해서는 개인의 구강건강관리 시스템구축뿐만 아니라 사회적으로도 예방진료와 구강보건교육을 바탕으로 관리시스템을 구축하여 자연치아를 오래 보존 하여야 할 것이다. 또한 이를 기초로 하여 삶의 질을 향상하기 위한 끊임없는 노력과 연구들이 이루어져야 하리라 생각된다.

Methods: Data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) were analyzed, and 13,199 adults aged 19 years or older were selected as study subjects. Various oral health indicators were used to analyze the effect of socioeconomic status on oral health. Disparities in oral health according to socioeconomic status were analyzed using the complex sample chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between income level, medical aid, and all oral health indicators, which indicated that the lower the income level, the lower the oral health level (p<0.001). Furthermore, all oral health indicators displayed statistically significant differences, with the exception of the prevalence of dental caries and education level. The lower the education level, the lower the oral health level (p<0.001). Therefore, the oral health level of adults presented significant differences according to different socioeconomic status indicators.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between periodontitis, obesity, and health behavior according to sex and age in Korean adults. Methods: Data on 11,032 adults aged 19-79 years were obtained from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to test for associations. Results: The final model that was adjusted for demographic characteristics and health status, showed a higher risk of periodontitis with increasing body mass index (BMI), smoking, failure to use oral care products, and no dental check up. In the sub-group analysis, only smoking was significant in the 19 to 39-year-old age groups. In the 40 to 64-year-old age group, a BMI of 30 or higher, and smoking, use of oral care products, and dental check-up were significantly associated with periodontitis. In the female group, BMI, smoking, use of oral care products, and dental check-up were significantly related to periodontitis. However, in males, only smoking was significant. Conclusions: Obesity management can be helpful for periodontal health as periodontitis prevalence in adults increased as BMI increased. For periodontal health, an oral health program should include smoking cessation and the use of oral care products and dental check up as part of obesity management.
