초록

본 연구에서는 국내에서 권장하고 있는 회전법이 실천 용이하고 치면세균막 제거에 효과적인지 다른 칫솔질 방법과비교해 보고, 집단칫솔질교육 후 시간흐름에 따른 효과추이를 확인하고자 임의 추출한 20대 대학생을 대상으로 Oʼleary 지수와 PHP 지수를 구하고 칫솔질 수행도를 조사하였다.
분석은 STATA 11.0을 이용하였다. 회전법과 바스법, 와타나베법의 칫솔질 방법에 따라 Oʼleary 지수와 PHP 지수 및칫솔질 수행도가 차이가 있는지에 대해 조사하기 위해 1차부터 3차까지 평균을 비교한 결과 차이가 없었다. 칫솔질 교육 전인 1차, 칫솔질 교육 2주 후인 2차, 칫솔질 교육 4주 후인 3차의 Oʼleary 지수, PHP 지수 및 칫솔질 수행도의 차이를 확인하기 위해 비모수 표본자료에 사용하는 Kruskal- Wallis test를 수행한 결과 Oʼleary 지수의 경우 칫솔질 교육전 측정 시 가장 낮은 점수를 기록하였고, 2차시기 측정치가가장 높게 나타났다(p=0.0001). PHP 지수는 1차시기 가장높게 나타났고, 2차시기 감소하였다가 3차시기 다시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p=0.0001). 칫솔질 수행도 역시 PHP 지수와 유사한 경향을 보였다(p=0.0001). 이상의 결과로 회전법이 모든 사람에게 획일적으로 권장할 만한 방법인지 좀더 다각적인 고찰이 필요하고, 칫솔질 교육효과는 시간이지나면서 감소되므로 지속적인 교육이 실행될 수 있도록 제도적 장치가 마련되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

영어초록

This study was conducted to examine Oʼleary index, patient hygiene performance (PHP) index, and toothbrushing practice assessment in subjects of college students in 20s who had been randomly selected. The purpose of this study is to examine if it is easy for rolling method which is recommended by many dental professionals in Korea to implement and to effectively remove dental plaque. Also, the correlations between dental plaque index and toothbrushing practice assessment with the course of time was confirmed, after instruction session on toothbrushing was provided. STATA 11.0 (StataCorp) was used for analysis. There was no significant difference on the three ways of Oʼleary index, PHP index, and toothbrushing practice assessment in using rolling method, bass technique and toothpick method when comparing the average resulting from first to third instruction session on toothbrushing. Oʼleary index, PHP index, and toothbrushing practice assessment were inspected with Kruskal-Wallis test which is used for non-parametric statistics. They were checked three times: the first, before the toothbrushing instruction was given; the second, two weeks after the toothbrushing session was given; and the third, 4 weeks after the session. The results are as follows: Oʼleary index stood at the lowest in the first experiment but showed the highest in the second (p=0.0001). PHP index was the highest level in the first trial and decreased in the second time, but increased again in the last examination (p=0.0001). Toothbrushing practice assessment also showed a similar tendency with PHP index (p=0.0001). In conclusion, rolling method is not the best option for everyone, and it is thought that more various toothbrushing ways need to be reviewed and recommended to people. Also, institutional framework is required for the continuous education on toothbrushing to be in place as the effectiveness of the education is decreased with time.
