Objectives: The purpose of the study was to identify the oral care status and periodontal disease of middle aged daibetic patients in Korea. Methods: The primitive data were taken from 238 diabetic people in the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES) in 2010 - 2012. The variables included general profiles(gender, age, occupied area, education, and smoking), oral care status(brushing time, brushing time, use of oral hygienic supplies, availability of oral hygienic supplies, oral examination, and recognition of oral health state), and diabetes management(morbidity period, treatment, education, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels). Results: Most of the subjects took gargling more than twice a day and it accounted for 73.5%. Oral hygienic supply users accounted for 24.8%, and most of them used floss brush. Oral examination was done in 19.3% of the respondents and 55.0% thought that their oral health status were very poor. The prevalence rate of the periodontal diseases was 46.6%. Female tended to have a higher rate of periodontal disease than the male. Oral hygienic supply users had lower rate of periodntal disease than those who did not use. Those who had poor subjective oral health status had higher prevalence rate of periodontal disease than those who did not. Conclusions: Periodontal disease is closely related to good oral care of middle aged diabetic patients. It is necessary to develop the program for the prevention of the periodontal disease for the diabetic patients.

본 연구는 치주질환을 조기에 발견하고 예방하기 위해 20대의 구강보건지식과 구강위생관리능력이 치주건강상태평가에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석함으로써 국민의 구강보건관심도를 높일 뿐 아니라 치주건강증진활동에 지식과 정보를 제공하여 건강하고 효율적인 구강관리를 하는 데 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 조사되었다. 포괄 치위생 관리 및 처치를 위하여 치위생과 실습실을 방문한 20대의 성인 130명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 치주건강상태를 평가하였다. 일반적 특성, 구강보건지식, 구강위생관리능력과 치주건강상태평가의 연관성을 조사 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 성별에 따른 잇솔질(p=0.030)과 구강위생용품(p=0.047)에 대한 구강보건지식은 통계적으로 유의하였고, 여성이 구강보건에 대한 지식이 높게 나타났다. 2. 성별에 따른 잇솔질(p=0.030)과 구강위생용품(p=0.047)에 대한 구강보건지식은 통계적으로 유의하였고 여성이 구강건강에 대한 지식이 높게 나타났다. 3. 성별에 따른 유두변연부착 치은염지수(p=0.047)와 지역사회치주지수(p=0.028)는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 남자의 유두변연부착 치은염지수, 지역사회치주지수는 여자보다 높았다. 학력에 따른 출혈지수(p=0.042)는 통계적으로 유의하였고, 고졸 이하가 가장 높았다. 4. 잇솔질(p=0.030), 치주질환(p=0.024)에 대한 구강보건지식이 치면세균막지수에 미치는 영향이 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 잇솔질에 대한 구강보건지식($\beta$=-0.137)이 증가하면 치면세균막지수가 감소하고, 치주질환에 대한 구강보건지식($\beta$=-0.144)이 증가하면 치면세균막지수가 감소한다. 5. 잇솔질 총 횟수에 따른 유두변연부착 치은염지수는 2회가 가장 높았다. 잇솔질 방법에 따른 치면세균막지수는 묘원법이 가장 높았으며, 횡마법, 회전법 순으로 나타났다. 구강위생용품을 사용하지 않는 경우의 지역사회치주지수와 출혈지수가 구강위생용품을 사용하는 경우보다 높았다. 흡연의 경우 유두변연부착 치은염지수, 지역사회치주지수, 출혈지수가 흡연을 하지 않는 경우보다 높았다. 주 당 음주 횟수에 따른 지역사회치주지수와 출혈지수는 3회 이상이 가장 높았다. 구강보건교육을 경험하지 못한 경우의 유두변연부착 치은염지수가 구강보건교육을 경험한 경우보다 높았다.

Background: To identify the factors that affect the current status and satisfaction of people with disabilities at community oral care centers. Methods: A structured self-administered survey, including five questions on facility environment, five on usage procedure, four on medical skill, four on care cost, three on friendliness, and three on satisfaction, was administered to 218 residents of the G-disabled community care center. It comprised a Likert 5-point scale (strongly agree, 5 points; agree, 4 points; moderate, 3 points; disagree, 2 points; not at all, 1 point). The reliability of the measurement tool was 0.932 for Cronbach's α. Results: The evaluation of community oral care centers for the disabled showed that the environment was hygienic (4.42±0.73), reservation system was well maintained (4.18±0.95), and the dentist-in-charge was satisfied with the treatment (4.37±0.62). The participants agreed that the details were sufficiently explained (4.29±0.71). However, in terms of medical expenses, the score of "have fully heard the explanation of medical expenses and reductions" was 3.88±0.92. The factors affecting satisfaction were sex, final educational background in the facility environment, usage procedure, and medical skill. Conclusion: To increase the satisfaction of people with disabilities at community oral care centers, it is necessary to establish a facility environment and service according to the patients' need and increase the reduction or exemption benefits between different treatment cost categories. Oral health management policies for the disabled should be developed based on these factors, so that the oral care of vulnerable groups in blind spots can be maintained.
