사회복지관 이용 노인의 치과보철물 상태가 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study has been conducted in order to examine the oral health status and dental prostheses status, and the effects of dental prostheses to the oral health related quality of life among the elderly using social welfare centers. For this purpose, the researcher conducted a questionnaire survey of 275 samples of old persons using 7 social welfare centers located in Daejeon metropolitan city. The oral health related quality of life was measured by GOHAI(Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index). The major study result are as followings:



1. The less age and the more education and the more subjective economic status and living with spouse of family status, the higher GOHAI showed.

2. Mean age of first using of removable denture is 62.11years and average life cycle of removable denture is 10.76years. 57.5% of study subjects use removable denture and complete denture user of study subjects are 13.8%.

3. The less unrestored missing teeth and the more sound teeth and if there is no retained root rest and mobile teeth, the less they feel difficulties in masticating and pronouncing, the higher masticatory ability index and GOHAI showed.

4. They feel lower levels of difficulties in masticating and pronouncing and also showed higher masticatory ability indices and GOHAI, in the case that they use fixed prostheses rather than removable ones and in the complete denture they use dental prostheses for both sides (upper and lower) rather than use ones for one single side.

5. In the case that they showed higher degrees of satisfaction with dental prostheses and can use them always and showed no necessity for new dental prostheses and denture adaptation is good, GOHAI showed higher.

6. Age, the number of unrestored missing teeth, the number of functional teeth, and the masticatory ability index have the statistically significant correlation with GOHAI.


The results of this study were revealed that the factor with the closest relation with oral health related quality of life among the elderly is the number of functional teeth possibly used for mastication including the number of sound and restored teeth. In order to improve oral health related quality of life among the elderly who have many missing teeth, it is required to restore their masticatory ability to the normal level by restoring the root rest and missing teeth which has lost its function through providing proper dental prostheses.
