Abstract

To conduct this study, researchers personally visited two maternity hospitals, one public centers, and two gymnastics classes for pregnant women in some areas of Seoul from March 14 to April 28, 2005 to determine a simplified oral hygiene index to measure cleanness for 200 women in the twenty weeks and over of pregnancy in order to examine their oral health conditions and provide basic data for the future oral health care and education in oral hygiene for pregnant women and, consequently, drew the following conclusions. 1. Simplified oral hygiene index between early, middle, and late pregnancy. It was shown that the Early was $1.10{\pm}.91$, Middle was $1.78{\pm}1.02$, The simplified oral hygiene index of Late was $1.73{\pm}1.03$. The simplified oral hygiene index of Total was $1.47{\pm}1.03$, with a Food debris index $0.96{\pm}0.51$ and a Calculus score $0.51{\pm}0.52$. 2. There were statistically significant differences in the simplified oral hygiene index of both the upper and the lower jaws between early, middle, and late pregnancy (p < 0.01). It was shown that the Food debris index, Calculus score, and the simplified oral hygiene index all increased with the approach of delivery. 3. There were statistically significant differences in the simplified oral hygiene index of both the anterior and the posterior areas between early, middle, and late pregnancy (p < 0.01). It was found that the Food debris index, Calculus score, and the simplified oral hygiene index all increased with the approach of delivery.

본 연구는 2005년 3월 14일부터 4월 28일까지 서울시내 일부지역 산부인과 2곳, 보건소 1곳, 임산부 체조교실 2곳을 직접 방문하여 임신 20주 이상 된 임산부 200명을 대상으로 구강청결도를 수량으로 표시할 수 있는 간이구강위생지수를 측정하여 임산부의 구강위생상태를 임신기간별로 파악하여 향후 임산부 구강건강관리 및 구강보건교육을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 임신기간별 간이구강위생지수는 임신초기는 $1.10{\pm}0.91$이고 임신중기는 $1.78{\pm}1.02$이며, 임신말기의 간이구강위생지수는 $1.73{\pm}1.03$으로 나타났다. 임신기간 전체의 간이구강위생지수는 $1.47{\pm}1.03$이며, 간이잔사지수는 $0.96{\pm}0.51$이고 간이치석점수는 $0.51{\pm}0.52$로 나타났다. 2. 임신기간별 상악과 하악의 간이구강위생점수는 상악과 하악 모두 임신초기, 중(말)기에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.01). 임신초기보다는 중(말)기로 갈수록 잔사지수, 치석지수, 간이구강위생지수 모두 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 임신기간별 전치부와 구치부의 간이구강위생점수는 전치부와 구치부 모두 임신초기, 중(말)기에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.01). 임신초기보다는 중(말)기로 갈수록 잔사지수, 치석지수, 간이구강위생지수 모두 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.
