  • Objectives: Unmet needs for dental treatment are one of the potential contributing factors to poor oral health because oral health problems worsen if left untreated. This study aimed to demonstrate the prevalence of and the causes for unmet dental needs, and to evaluate the association between unmet needs for dental treatment and oral health status. Methods: Data on 3,883 subjects aged ${\geq}18years$ from the Korean National Oral Health Survey 2006 were analyzed. Information regarding unmet needs for dental treatment was obtained using standardized questionnaires. Eight trained dentists examined decayed, missing, or filled teeth (DMFT). Multiple regression models were built to assess the association between unmet needs for dental treatment and the DMFT scores. Results: The prevalence of perceived unmet needs for dental treatment was 34.7% among the adult Korean population. Economic constraints were the main cause (38.6%) for unmet dental needs. The average DMFT scores were higher in the subjects with unmet needs for dental treatment than in those without. In individuals with unmet needs for dental treatment within the past 1 year, the number of decayed teeth after adjusting for confounders was likely to be greater by 0.58 and that of missing teeth by 0.27 compared to that in their counterparts with no unmet dental needs in the past 1 year. Conclusions: Perceived unmet needs for dental treatment were significantly associated with poor oral health status among the adult Korean population. Further studies are needed to clarify the direct and indirect effects of unmet needs for dental treatment on an individual's oral health status by investigating critical variables of the causal pathways among perceived dental needs, dental care utilization, and oral health status.

  • Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the factors related to unmet dental care needs in Korean adults who needed dental treatment. Methods: This study analyzed data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018). Among the adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2,723 dental treatment who performed oral examinations were the final subjects. General characteristics and oral health characteristics were analyzed with complex sample chi-square test using the IBM SPSS program. Factors related to unmet dental care were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: As for unmet dental care needs related factors, bad oral health was 3.383 times higher, and usually was 1.736 times higher. In the use of dental clinic unmet dental care needs was 0.121 times lower. Unmet dental care needs was high, 1.366 times for those with the experience of tooth pain and 2.736 times for those with chewing difficulty. Conclusions: Based on the above results, it can be seen that oral health status or oral discomfort is related to unmet dental care needs. It is necessary to set goals to improve unmet dental care, recognize that one's oral health condition is very important, and continuously educate about oral health for each life cycle.

Statistically significant results were observed in relation to the type of dental clinic, recent visits to a dental hospital, experiences of toothache within the past year, subjective oral health status, occurrences of permanent dental caries, and engagement in orthodontic treatment. Conclusions: When formulating future national policies and projects, it is imperative to consider the factors and underlying reasons for the unmet dental care needs of adolescents.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 성인의 미충족 치과의료와 그에 관련요인을 파악하기 위해 진행되었다. 미충족 치과의료를 정의하는 데 있어 치과의료의 필요를 치통을 경험한 사람 중 적절한 치과 의료서비스에 접근하지 못한 사람으로 제한하여 의료 필요에 따른 충족을 보다 명확하기 측정하기 위해 노력하였다. 미충족 치과의료의 원인으로는 경제적 부담, 직업/학업적 이유, 다른 문제에 비해 덜 중요해서가 높은 비중을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 미충족 치과의료와 관련된 요인으로는 성별, 연령, 본인이 인지하는 구강건강 상태, 씹기 문제가 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 건강보험 보장성 강화 정책과 관련하여 치과의료비의 본인부담금의 비중을 낮추는 방안을 제안할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 치과 의료서비스 접근에 있어 취약한 집단을 파악하고, 해당 집단에 대한 보건의료 정책 개발 및 서비스 제공이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 본 연구는 노인의 미충족 의료에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 미충족 의료 해소를 위한 보건의료정책 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시되었다. 연구대상은 2017년도 노인실태조사 원시자료를 이용하여 1개 이상의 만성질환을 가지고 있는 9,117명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, SPSS Statistics ver 25.0을 사용하여 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미충족 의료에 대한 경험은 병/의원 진료는 851명(9.3%), 치과 진료는 1,469명(16.1%)이 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 미충족 의료의 사유는 병/의원 진료와 치과 진료 모두에서 경제적 어려움이 각각 425명(49.9%), 1,066명(72.6%)으로 가장 많았다. 셋째, 병/의원 진료에서 미충족 의료의 경험에는 배우자, 교육수준, 주관적 건강상태, 운동이 영향을 미치는 요인이었으며, 치과 진료에서는 배우자, 교육수준, 의료급여 수급자, 주관적 건강상태, 흡연, 운동이 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 만성질환을 가진 노인의 미충족 의료에 영향을 주는 요인을 고려하여 미충족 의료를 완화시킬 수 있는 보건의료 정책을 수립해나가야 할 것이다.

This study was investigated the relationship between dental checkups and unmet dental care needs in Korean adults. Methods: From the data of the 7th Korean national health and nutrition survey (2016-2017), the final 9,300 of the 16,277 participants selected as the method for extracting stratified colonies by complex sample design. A structured questionnaire interview was used, and chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: The relationship between dental checkups and unmet dental care needs for the last one year was analyzed by controlling demographic characteristics, variables related to health conditions, and "use of dental clinics for the last year." The unmet dental care needs were 7.57 times higher (CI: 6.49-8.83) for non-users of dental clinics for 1 year, and 1.32 times (CI: 1.13-1.54) for dental checkups for 1 year compared to non-dental checkups patients. Conclusions: As described above, there was a close relationship between adult dental checkups and unmet dental care needs. Therefore, it is suggested that it is necessary to expand educational publicity and prepare policy strategies such as visiting dental checkups to improve the adult dental checkups.

  • 이 연구는 장애인 대상 치과진료 필요자 중 치과의료 서비스 미충족율과 그 이유를 조사하고, 미충족 치과치료에 따른 구강상태를 분석하였다. 국민건강영양조사 참여 대상 중 만 19세 이상 장애등록 응답자 444명을 선정하였고, 그 중 구강검진과 설문조사를 완료한 대상자 375명을 최종분석하였다. 장애유형은 6종류(지체장애, 뇌병변장애, 감각장애, 발달장애, 정신장애, 내분비장애)로 분류하였다. 연구대상자 중 미충족 치과치료 대상자는 128명이었으며, 최근 1년 동안 치과진료를 받지 못한 가장 주된 이유는 '경제적인 이유로'에 대한 항목이 49.2%으로 가장 많았으며, '다른 문제에 비해 덜 중요하다고 느껴서'에 대한 항목이 18.0%이었다. 치주질환과 영구치우식경험을 가진 장애인 중 미충족 치과치료 빈도와 진행정도가 높은 것으로 확인하였다. 치과진료 자원의 가용성 측면에서 장애인 수 대비 적절한 치과진료 서비스를 충분히 제공하여 치과진료 서비스의 원활한 이용이 요구된다.
