이 연구에서는 치과의료기관 이용자를 대상으로 민영치과의료보험의 인식도와 가입 현황을 조사하였다. 서울 경기 지역의 10개 치과의료기관을 방문한 이용자 중 20세 이상 성인 540명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 시행하였다. 대상자의 인구 사회적 특성과 건강 및 의료 관련 특성을 분석하였으며, 민영치과의료보험의 인식과 가입에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위해 로지스틱 분석을 실시하였다. 민영치과의료보험은 도입된 지 4년 밖에 되지 않아 민영의료보험에 비해 인식도가 낮고 가입률도 17.4%로 낮으나, 치과 이용에 따른 경제적 부담으로 향후 가입을 고려하는 사람의 숫자는 많았다. 민영치과의료보험 인식도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 국민건강보험 만족도, 민영의료보험과 민영치과의료보험 가입, 주관적 구강건강 상태, 흡연이었다. 민영치과의료보험 가입에 영향을 미치는 변수는 연령, 민영치과의료보험 인식도, 민영의료보험 가입, 흡연, 치과의료기관 방문 횟수였다. 향후 민영치과의료보험 가입자 증가로 인해 치과의료 이용의 양적 질적 변화가 일어날 가능성이 있으므로, 민영치과의료보험의 가입률과 치과 이용에 미치는 영향에 관한 후속 연구가 필요하다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness of implant wearers about periodontal diseases and implant management, which were closely linked to implant durability, in an effort to obtain information on the right directions for oral health education related to implant self-care and specialized care. Methods : The subjects in this study were 217 patients who wore implant and visited 14 different dental hospitals and clinics in the metropolitan area. After a questioaire survey was conducted and collected data were analyed by the statistical package SPSS 18.0. Results : As for the awareness of the subjects on the regeneration of alveolar ridge by general characteristics, there were statistically significant intergroup gaps according to the number of possessed implant, implant satisfaction and subjective gingival health status(p<0.05). Regarding their awareness of implant durability by general characteristics, there were statistically significant gaps according to the number of possessed implant and oral health education experience(p<0.05). Concerning their awareness of the cycle of regular implant checkup by general characteristics, there were statistically significant gaps according to occupation, subjective gingival health status and oral health education experience(p<0.05). Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that in order to ensure the long-term safe maintenance of implant, the way of looking at periodontal diseases and implant management should be changed. Specifically, more intensive oral health education should be provided for implant wearers to be aware of the importance of self-care and specialized care to change their oral health behavior, and clinical dental hygienists should improve their role performance to make it happen.
