This study was undertaken to verify various relations between dental health belief and related behaviors in mothers and children. Data for this study were obtained by 264 pairs of 1st and 3rd grade elementary school children and their mothers by self developed questionnaire, The questionnaires are made on the general socio-economical characteristics, the oral health knowledge and the behaviors relative to the oral health and oral health education as to how mothers implement the oral health related activities for their children, while for the children, the questionnaires have been measured relative to the oral health beliefs and health behaviors for the children. The obtained results have shown that mothers become with more ages, the usefulness to prevent children's oral diseases becomes lower, and as much as mothers have higher education level, the sensitivity relative to the oral diseases has been measured low. To the degree that the students live well in economical respect, it has been found that they placed more importance on the oral health. As much as the number of mothers tooth brushing becomes made more in a day, the tooth brushing of the children becomes more that much, and also has higher level of oral health beliefs. The number of children to see dentists has been found high, and to the extent of increasing frequency of visiting dental clinics. As the number of mothers tooth brushing education becomes made more frequent for the children. Also, as mothers put more restriction on the sugar intakes by the children, they placed higher importance on the oral health for their children. In conclusion oral health behavior in mothers' influence on dental health belief of their children, it has been reviewed necessary to activate more the mother-children joint oral health education and oral health projects that mothers and children take part together, as well as to study more in accurate and systematic approaches through more comprehensive and various subjects and elements further in the future.

2004년 보건복지부에서 시행한 전국 장애인 구강보건실태조사 자료 중 만 6-17세 사이의 소아 청소년 장애인 677명을 대상으로 하여 장애유형을 신체장애, 정신지체 및 감각장애로 분류한 후 이들의 치아우식증 실태를 파악하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 소아 청소년 장애인들의 전체 평균 우식경험영구치지수와 우식경험영구치면지수는 각각 3.06개 및 5.24면이었고, 각 연령대별 우식경험영구치지수와 우식경험영구치면지수는 6-8세는 0.90개 및 1.45면, 9-11세는 2.32개 및 3.76면, 12-14세는 3.63개 및 6.33면 그리고 15-17세는 4.93개 및 8.35면이었다. 또한 소아.청소년 장애인들의 우식경험영구치지수에 유의한 영향을 미친 변수로는 연령, 잇솔질 횟수 및 잇솔질 의존도 그리고 저작 및 기능장애이었다. 연령이 증가할수록(b=1.34, p<0.001), 잇솔질 횟수가 적을수록(b=-0.27, p=0.034), 잇솔질을 자력으로 하는 경우에(b=-1.43, p<0.001), 그리고 구강 내에 저작 및 기능장애가 있는 경우에(b=1.24, p=0.011) 우식 경험영구치지수가 유의하게 높았다. 또한 우식경험영구치면지수에 유의한 영향을 미친 변수는 연령, 잇솔질 횟수 및 잇솔질 의존도로, 연령이 증가할수록(b=2.49, p<0.001), 잇솔질 횟수가 적을수록(b=-0.66, p=0.024) 그리고 잇솔질을 자력으로 하는 경우(b=-1.75, p=0.042)에 우식경험영구치면지수가 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 우리나라 소아 청소년 장애인들의 치아우식증의 진행과 중증도를 감소시키기 위해 각 연령대별로 보다 효과적인 잇솔질 교습을 포함한 구강건강증진 프로그램을 개발하여 적용하는 것이 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구는 서울특별시 성동구에서 치아건강사업의 일환으로 관내 모든 초 중 고등학교에 양치시설을 확대 설치하기 결정 한 후 2012년 양치교실을 설치한 중학교의 양치시설 효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존에 양치시설이 설치되어있는 A중학교와 2012년 양치시설이 설치된 B중학교 1학년을 대상으로 구강환경관리능력 및 치아건강관리 행태의 변화를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DMFT와 DMFS는 기존에 양치시설이 설치 운영되어 온 A중학교가 B중학교보다 더 낮게 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). CPI는 치아우식경험지수와 다른 결과를 보였는데 학교별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 여학생이 남학생에 비하여 code (0)은 높게 나타났고 code (2)는 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 양치시설이 설치되기 전, 양치시설 유무에 따른 PHP index 검사에서는 양치시설이 있는 학교의 학생들이 구강환경관리능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 양치시설 전 후에 따른 조사에서는 양치시설 설치 전보다 양치시설 설치 후에 구강환경관리능력 개선 정도가 유의하게 크게 나타났다(p<0.01). 3. 양치시설 유무에 따른 치아건강관리 행태 비교에서는 지난 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우는 양치시설이 없었던 B중학교에서 더 높게 나타났고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균횟수는 양치시설이 있는 A중학교에서 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유에 대해서는 학교간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 '장소가 부족해서' 항목은 A중학교보다 양치시설이 없는 B중학교에서 높게 나타나 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 양치시설 설치 전후 치아건강관리 행태 변화에서는 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우가 설치 전보다 설치 후에 증가하였고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균 횟수도 양치시설 설치 후에 더 감소하였으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유 중 '장소가 부족해서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.01), '친구들이 하지 않아서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 크게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 구강보건지식의 개선만으로는 임상적, 행동적 의의를 가지지 않는다. 청소년들의 행동변화를 유도하여 직접 참여하기 위해서는 학교나 가정 한 단체만으로는 불가능하다. 학교뿐만 아니라 정부기관의 정책과 재정적 지원, 지역사회관련 교육기관들과 관련 단체들의 프로그램 개발과 평가에 대한 협조 등이 청소년들의 올바른 구강건강관리를 습관화 시키는 데 기여할 것이다.
