박효정,구인영,천종애 대한예방치과학회 2019 International Journal of Clinical Preventive Denti Vol.15 No.4

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between parents’ oral examination and dental clinic use and their children’s oral examination and dental clinic use and suggest parents’ roles in improving oral health of their children. Methods: The data concerning elementary and secondary school students aged between 7 and 18 who had a parent or parents were selected among those from the 2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the data from 572 respondents were finally analyzed, with the exception of missing data. IDs of the selected children were matched with those of their parents. Results: A total of 88.9% of the children whose father was a dental clinic user were dental clinic users (p=0.001) and 89.8% of those whose mother was a dental clinic user were dental clinic users (p=0.002). A total of 96.9% of the children whose single mother was in her thirties were slightly more likely to use a dental clinic (p=0.021). Conclusion: The more likely parents were to use a dental clinic, the more likely their children were to use a dental clinic because parents’ good knowledge and awareness of dental and oral care makes it easier for their children to use a dental clinic. It is however necessary to conduct institutional research on how to make it easy for single parents to take oral examination and use a dental clinic so that their children can benefit from oral examination and dental clinic use.

박진영,조자원,신승철,박용덕,천종애 대한예방치과학회 2013 International Journal of Clinical Preventive Denti Vol.9 No.2

Objective: As health-related lifestyle habits formed in adolescence will determine his or her general health throughout the rest of the life, self-rated oral health formed during this period will also determine lifetime oral health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to determine if self-rated oral health differed according to self-reported oral health behaviors in Korean adolescents. Methods: The raw data of 'The sixth Youth Health Behavior Online Survey' carried out by the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention were analysed. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationships between oral health behaviors and self-rated oral health (n=73,238). Results: Self-rated oral health differed according to self-reported daily toothbrushing habits. Oral health behaviors had stronger influence on daily toothbrushing habits. In particular, participants who brushed their teeth in the morning were 2.578 times more likely to have good self-rated oral health than subjects that did not brush their teeth in the morning (p<.001), and participants who brushed their teeth more than 3 times a day were 2.311 times more likely to have good self-rated oral health than those that brushed their teeth less than 3 times a day (p<.001). Conclusion: Korean adolescents with high self-rated oral health reported practicing good oral health behaviors. These results emphasize the need for the further practicable oral health education programs.
