Abstract

The purpose of study was to investigate the etiologic factors of maxillary primary anterior caries. The subjects of study were 401 preschool children, 214 boys and 187 girls, from 36 to 71 months old of randomly selected seven nurseries in Iksan city. The prevalence of maxillary primary anterior teeth was cross-analyzed with gender, age, breast feeding or bottle feeding, length of feeding, sweet snack intake frequency, beginning of toothbrushing, and toothbrushing frequency per day. The prevalence was 43.0% in boys and 26.7% in girls, and there was significant association between the prevalence and gender in cross analysis(P<0.01). The prevalences of the shorter than 2 years of feeding group, the from 2 to 3 years group, and the longer than 3 years group were 31.0%, 43.2%, and 63.2%, respectively, and there was significant association between the prevalence and the length of feeding(P<0.01). Daily intake of sweet snacks had a significant association with the prevalence(P<0.05). There was no significant association between the prevalence and the variables of age, breast feeding or bottle feeding, beginning of toothbrushing, and toothbrushing frequency per day(P>0.05).

연구 목적은 상악 유전치 우식증의 발생 요인을 규명하기 위함이었다. 연구대상은 익산시 어린이집 중에서 무작위로 추출한 7개 어린이집의 36개월 이상 71개월 미만의 남아 214명, 여아 187명, 모두 401명이었다. 연구방법은 상악 유전치 우식증의 유병률을 조사하고, 성별, 연령, 모유 수유 또는 인공 수유, 수유 기간, 감미 간식 섭취 빈도, 칫솔질 시작 시기, 1일 칫솔질 횟수 등을 조사하여 상악 유전치 우식증과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 상악 유전치 우식증의 유병률은 남아에서 43.0%, 여아에서 26.7%로서 남아가 여아보다 유의하게 높았고(P<0.01), 수유 기간 2년 이하 군에서 31.0%, 2-3년 군에서 43.2%, 3년 이상 군에서 63.2%로서 수유 기간이 길어질수록 유의하게 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며(P<0.01), 감미 간식을 매일 섭취하는 군에서 44.2%, 2-3일에 한 번 섭취하는 군에서 31.47%, 자주 섭취하지 않는 군에서 32.4%로서, 매일 섭취하는 경우에 상악 유전치 우식증과의 유의한 연관성이 있었다(P<0.05). 연령, 모유 수유 또는 인공 수유, 칫솔질 시작 시기, 1일 칫솔질 횟수에서는 상악 유전치 우식증과 유의한 연관성이 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05).
