Abstract

구강보건에 관한 인식도 및 관리실태와 미소평점과의 상관성을 알아보기 위하여 대구시내 남녀 고등학교 학생 150명(남자80명, 여자70명)을 대상으로 그들의 구강보건 지식의 수준과 일상 치아 관리실태에 관하여 설문지를 통해 평가한 후 아무런 부담을 주지 않은 편안한 상태에서 설문지 해당 각자의 미소 시 정면사진을 촬영하였으며, 이연구와 상관이 없고 근무지와 직책이 다른 5명의 치과의사를 무작위로 선출하여 연구 대상자의 미소를 다섯 분류의 점수로 평가한 후 각각의 자료를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 구강보건에 관한 인식도 및 관리실태와 미소평점과는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 구강보건 인식도조사에서는 오답이 많았지만 관리실태 조사에서는 일상 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있음을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 구강보건의 인지특성이나 관리실태의 실천보다는 미소는 평상시 반복된 습관적 행태에 더 많은 관계가 있을 것으로 사료되었다. This study was designed to investigate the correlation between the degree of knowledge in regards to the importance of oral health and the smile scores as well as the correlation between their actual oral conditions and smile scores. The author surveyed the knowledge and the actual oral health condition of the subjects, 150 high school students (80 males and 70 females), and their frontal pictures were taken when they had full smiles. After evaluation of the smiles of the subjects by five dentists, the results were analysed. This study showed that there was neither a correlation between the smile score and the knowledge of oral health nor the actual oral condition. The investigation showed that the actual oral condition and care was performed well even if there were some wrong answers in the questionnaire, which asked about proper oral health. In conclusion, the smile could be related to the repetition of the habit of smiling rather than being related to the knowledge of oral health or their actual oral condition.
