본 연구는 주관적 구강건강상태와 구강건강행태 요인들의 기여도에 대한 사회경제적 변화를 조사하였다. 연구자료는 2015년 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하였다. 연구결과 주관적 구강건강상태는 사회경제적 수준이 낮은 경우에서 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 연관성은 인구사회학적 요인들과 구강건강행태를 보정했을 때 연관성은 증가하였다. 또한 각각의 구강 건강 행태요인들을 보정했을 때, 흡연, 칫솔질횟수, 구강위생용품사용, 그리고 구강검진은 사회경제적 구강건강상태의 많은 부분을 설명하였다. 주관적 구강불건강은 사회경제적 상태에서 비롯되지만 이런 차이는 구강건강행태 요인들에 따라 증가되었다. 따라서, 본 연구결과에서 주관적 구강건강상태에서의 사회경제적 불평등은 구강건강증진 행태에 따라 더욱 효과적으로 교정될 수 있음을 시사한다고 볼 수 있다.

After a questioaire survey was conducted and collected data were analyed by the statistical package SPSS 18.0. Results : As for the awareness of the subjects on the regeneration of alveolar ridge by general characteristics, there were statistically significant intergroup gaps according to the number of possessed implant, implant satisfaction and subjective gingival health status(p<0.05). Regarding their awareness of implant durability by general characteristics, there were statistically significant gaps according to the number of possessed implant and oral health education experience(p<0.05). Concerning their awareness of the cycle of regular implant checkup by general characteristics, there were statistically significant gaps according to occupation, subjective gingival health status and oral health education experience(p<0.05). Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that in order to ensure the long-term safe maintenance of implant, the way of looking at periodontal diseases and implant management should be changed. Specifically, more intensive oral health education should be provided for implant wearers to be aware of the importance of self-care and specialized care to change their oral health behavior, and clinical dental hygienists should improve their role performance to make it happen.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the correlation of mental-and oral-health status with periodontal disease. Ultimately, we sought to make a positive contribution to the promotion of periodontal health and the prevention of periodontal disease. Methods : This study was analyzed using the data of KNHANES 2013-2015. The participants of this study were between 20 and 64 years old. The final selection was 1,512 adults. Results : Participants with a sleeping time of less than 6 hours and those who recognized stress showed higher periodontal disease. Number of decaying teeth, oral-health status, toothaches, and chewing problems were associated significantly with periodontal disease. To investigate the effects of general characteristics and mental and oral-health status on periodontal disease, a logistic regression analysis was conducted. Sex, age, education level, smoking status, oral-health status, and chewing problems were variables that affected periodontal disease. Conclusions : This study showed that mental-and oral-health status is closely related to periodontal disease. Therefore, it is expected that this will be used as basic data to effectively improve periodontal disease in adults.
