본 연구는 울산시에 소재하는 특수학교에 재학중인 청각장애학생과 청각장애와 언어장애를 동시에 겪고 있는 학생 38명을 대상으로 Q-ray를 이용하여 구강 내를 촬영하였다. 대상자의 구강위생 상태의 분석을 위하여 치면세균막 지수를 이용하여 평가하였고 치아 상태는 건전치아 수, 우식치아 수, 우식충전 치아수로 구분하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 남학생에 비해 여학생에서 치면세균막 관리가 소홀한 것으로 나타났고, 칫솔질 시간 및 부위에 따라 치면세균막 관리정도와 우식치아 수에 있어 현저한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 새로운 장비를 이용하여 교육시킴으로서 기존의 구강보건교육 방법에 비해 만족도도 높게 나타났다. 장애학생들의 구강건강수준의 향상을 위해서는 자신 스스로 구강건강을 관리할 수 있도록 반복적인 훈련과 동기화를 일으켜 실천도를 높여야 하겠다. 그리고 시각적인 효과가 큰 장비의 이용으로 장애학생뿐만 아니라 차후 여러 계층의 대상자들의 효과적인 구강보건교육에 도움이 되어 질것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : This study was to examine the state of customized visiting oral health programs in a bid to help facilitate the unified operation of the programs and the development of required guidelines. Methods : The subjects in this study were 49 dental hygienists who were professionals responsible for customized visiting health care programs across the nation. Results : 1. Regarding the form of employment of the dental hygienists were investigated many contract and daily workers. 2. As to the possession of equipment necessary for visiting oral health programs, denture cleaners(12.2%) were most widely possessed in some regions, followed by mobile scalers(10.2%) and mobile suctions(8.2%). In terms of expendable devices and materials, dental mirrors, pincettes and explorers were the most widely possessed dental checkup devices, and the most widely possessed oral hygiene supplies were toothbrushes, interdental brushes and denture cleaners. Those devices and materials were in more possession than the other types of devices and materials. The most widely possessed equipment for educational purpose was laptop computers, followed by beam projectors and screens. The most widely possessed teaching materials were dentiform, followed by CD-ROMs. 3. Those whom they visited the most for oral health care service were elderly people, followed by the disabled and patients with chronic diseases. The dental hygienists who went out to visit those people outnumbered the others who stayed at public health centers. Concerning the types of visiting oral health care service, the most prevalent service provided to the elderly included denture cleaning/management, oral massage and preventive treatment against dental caries. The most dominant service provided to the disabled involved education of the oral health care act, preventive treatment against dental caries and toothbrushing by professionals. The most common service offered to patients with chronic diseases was education of the oral health care act and oral health education. The dental hygienists paid a visit to a mean of 5.8 households a day. The average weekly number of households cared by the dental hygienists was 27.3.
