Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the oral health locus of control and the oral health behavior and attitude and to propose the basic materials for enhancing the effective oral health program.

Materials and methods : 280 girls in W high school located in Ik-san city were chosen by the convenience sampling. A survey was made with the self-administration questionnaires. The questionnaires for the oral health locus of control were designed by the authors, and the internal locus of contol (ILOC) and the external locus of control (ELOC) were distinguished. The oral health promotion behavior and attitude is defined by the behavior and attitude needed to promote the oral health. The total 21 items which consisted of the 10 items such behaviors as the extraction of the deciduous teeth in time and the toothbrushing after meal, and the 11 items such attitudes as thinking much of the effectiveness of early treatment were surveyed with 4-point Likert scale to obtain the oral health promotion behavior and attitude scale and the oral health promotion attitude scale. The correlation between the oral health locus of control and the oral health promotion behavior and attitude scale and the oral health promotion attitude scale was analysed by the Pearson's coefficient. The correlation between the locus of control and each oral health promotion behavior and attitude was analysed by the Spearman's coefficient. The characters of the subjects influencing the oral health locus of control was analysed by t-test, ANOVA, and the correlation analysis.

Results : The oral health promotion behavior and attitude scale showed a significant positive correlation with ILOC, and the oral health promotion attitude scale showed a positive correlation with ILOC and a negative correlation with ELOC. The extraction of deciduous teeth in time among the oral health promotion behaviors showed the highest coefficient of correlation with the ILOC and ELOC. Such behaviors as toothbrushing after meal, toothbrushing before sleep, covering the multiple teeth with dental sealant, and taking the treatment after school oral examination showed the negative correlations with ELOC. The belief that early treatment is effective, taking good care of decayed teeth among the disease control is important, and preventing the oral diseases is economic showed a positive correlation with ILOC and a negative correlation with ELOC. The educational status of subject's father was significantly correlated with ILOC.
