이 연구는 환자의 치위생학적 지식 및 실천 정도가 구강건강과 관련된 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 측정하고자 평가도구중 하나인 구강건강 영향지수(OHIP)를 사용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 예방적인 지식이나 일상에서 매일 사용하는 구강용품지식 및 사용방법 지식이 높아야 주관적으로 느끼는 삶의 질이 높게 나타났다. 그리고 진료 형태별 지식과 같이 경험으로 습득한 지식은 높을수록 주관적으로 느끼는 삶의질이 낮게 나타났다. 반면 심미치료중의 하나인 미백치료지식은 높을수록 주관적으로 느끼는 삶의 질이 높게 나타났다. 즉 예방적이고 심미적인 지식이 구강건강영향지수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석된다.

In detail, 'usefulness' was 3.24 as the highest and 'seriousness' was 2.25 as the lowest. The periodic scaling and scaling cycle were associated with 'seriousness' and 'barrier' as positive correlation(p<.05, .01). On the other hand, they were associated with knowledge and 'usefulness' as negative correlation(p<.01). Meanwhile, scaling motive showed positive correlation with 'cue of action'(p<.01), showed negative correlation with knowledge(p<.01).
