And their plaque index was measured. The findings of the study were as follows: 62.8% of the respondents replied they got a dental checkup over the past year, and 84.1% answered they received preventive dental treatment once at least or more. 80.5% replied they used a fluorine-containing dentifrice. 90.9% answered they used the rolling method to brush their teeth, and 50.0% replied it took three minutes to brush their teeth. They got a mean of 27.88 when O'leary index was used among plaque index systems. Their PHP index and PHP-M index were respectively a mean of 1.30 and a mean of 12.12. Their plaque index became lower when they spent more time brushing their teeth, and the toothbrushing time made a statistically significant difference to that (p<0.05). The factor that exerted the largest influence on plaque index was whether to brush teeth for the sake of oral health (B=-9.747, t=-3.752, p<0.001) or not. That made a statistically significant difference to it. The above-mentioned findings illustrated that more patients visited dental clinics than before to receive preventive dental treatment or to get dental checkups, and that toothbrushing time and whether to brush teeth for the sake of oral health or not were identified as the oral health management behaviors to affect plaque index. Key Words: Dental plaque, O'leary index, Oral health management behavior, PHP index 서론 현대의학은발전을거듭하면서인간의수명을날로연장시켜왔다. 평균수명이증가함에따라구강건강의중요성은날로높아지고있으며, 이는전신건강과밀접한관련이있기에더욱중요하다고생각된다. 구강은생물학적차원에서보면신체를전신감염으로부터보호하고, 씹고, 삼킴으로써삶의질에기여하며, 사회및정신적차원에서구강은자기평가및표현, 의사소통그리고아름다움을통해기여한 다 1). 구강건강이란신체적개념에국한되었던과거와는달리육체적ㆍ정신적ㆍ사회적인의미로확대해서해석할수있다. 또한개인이하고자하는사회적역할을계속할수있게하는편안하고기능적인치아상태라고정의할수있다 1). 뿐만아니라사회적, 문화적, 경제적측면등다양한관점에서규명되고이해되어야하는동적과정이다 2). 이러한구강건강은구강건강행위에따라그상태가좌우되며, 구강건강행위에대한관심과행동변화가무엇보다선행되어야구강병 Received: March 5, 2015, Revised: March 16, 2015, Accepted: March 17, 2015 Correspondence to: Ji-Min Hwang Department of Dental Hygiene, Baekseok Culture University, 76 Munam-ro, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan 330-705, Korea Tel: +82-41-550-2731, Fax: +82-41-550-2153, E-mail: 621zimina@hanmail.net ISSN 1598-4478 (Print) / ISSN 2233-7679 (Online) Copyright 2015 by the Korean Society of Dental Hygiene Science This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by-nc/4.0) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
J Dent Hyg Sci Vol. 15, No. 2, 2015 발병률을감소시키고, 예방할수있다. 구강건강행위는구강내의질환이발생하기전의건강한구강상태에서구강건강을계속유지하기위해수행되는제반활동을지칭하는것으로구강병의증상이나증후가없음에도불구하고이루어지는행위라는특징을지닌다 2). 개인의구강건강과구강병은생의학적원인에의해서만이아니라구강건강행위에따라달라지며구강건강증진행위는생물학적인과정이라기보다는사회심리학적인특징을가짐으로써개인이스스로책임감을가지고지속적으로수행해야하는과정이다 3). 하지만구강건강증진행위는안다고해서즉시실천되는것은아니며건강에대한인식으로부터시작해지각및이해, 지식의수용, 분석단계를거쳐행동으로나타나기때문에지속적인교육이필요하다 3). 치면세균막이란치아나치은및다른구강구조물표면에형성된연한침착물로숙주의존적 biofilm인동시에주성분이세균인아교질의미생물집단이다 4). 치면세균막은치아우식병과치주병을유발하는제1원인물질이며, 세균즉병원체요인이작용하도록하는환경요인이다. 특히교합면의치면열구에형성ㆍ부착되어있는치면열구세균막은치아우식병을지속적으로발생하도록하는환경요인이고, 치은열구에형성ㆍ부착되어있는치은열구세균막은치주병이지속적으로발생하도록하는환경요인이다 5). 중대구강병인치아우식병과치주병의발생률을감소시키고, 효과적으로관리하기위해서는필요요인인치면세균막관리가가장우선적으로행해져야하는기본적인과정이다. 치면세균막을관리하는방법중가장일반적으로사용되는방법은치면착색제로치아에부착되어있는치면세균막을염색하여관찰하는방법이다 6-9). 이는육안으로확인과관찰이가능해대상자에게동기를부여할수있는가장효율적인방법으로 6,9) 치태의양과위치를확인할수있다. 건강한구강을유지및증진시키기위해서는구강건강관리행위의실천과치면세균막관리가동시에이루어져야가능하다. 하지만구강건강관리행위와치면세균막과의관련성에대한선행연구들이미비하기에이둘의상관성에대한분석과이해가매우필요하다. 따라서본연구는구강건강관리행위의실태를파악하고, 검사법에따른치면세균막지수의차이를보고자하였다. 또한구강건강관리행위와치면세균막지수검사법에따른관련성을분석하고평가하여, 치면세균막관리의필요성과치과위생관리지침작성을위한기초자료를제공하고자한다.

J Dent Hyg Sci Vol. 15, No. 2, 2015 교육과정을통하여구강건강에관한인식이높아져있다고보고하고있다. 치위생과학생들은학과수업을통해구강건강에대한지식과정보를습득하고익힘으로써실천도가높게나타나며, 이는전공교육의긍정적인효과로볼수있다. 치면세균막검사법에따른치면세균막지수는 O'leary index 27.88, PHP index 1.30, PHP-M index 12.12로조사되었다. O'leary index의경우치주수술이나보철치료가필요한환자는치면세균막지수를 10% 미만으로관리해야하며, 10% 미만이되기전에치주수술이나보철치료를시작하면실패율이높아지나치주수술이나보철치료가필요없는일반인들의경우는 15% 정도의치면세균막지수가적당하다고알려져있다 5). 하지만 O'leary 등 14) 은개개인의구강위생관리의적절한치면세균막지수는 10% 또는그이하로낮추라고보고하였다. 20 50세일반인을대상으로연구한 Yoo 15) 의연구에서대상자들의 O'leary index는 88.44로조사되었으며, PHP index 3.27, PHP-M index는 19.32로나타나본연구결과보다높은것으로조사되었다. 특히 O'leary index의경우는매우높게나타났다. 이러한결과는전공자와비전공자라는대상자의차이가있기는하지만최소의비용으로최대의효과를낼수있는올바른칫솔질방법과구강보건교육을통해치면세균막관리법을홍보한다면효과의극대화는물론비전공자의치면세균막지수또한낮아질것으로기대된다. 구강건강관리행위에따른치면세균막지수의경우통계적으로유의하게나온변수는칫솔질시간이었다. 칫솔질시간에따른치면세균막지수는 3분이하일경우 O'leary index 31.37, PHP index 1.61, PHP-M index 14.61로조사되었으며, 4분이상일경우 O'leary index 23.32, PHP index 1.07, PHP-M index 9.59로조사되었으며, PHP index와 PHP-M index가통계적으로유의한차이를보이는것으로나타났다. 하지만칫솔질횟수의경우는통계적으로유의한차이를보이지못했는데 Woo와 Kim 16) 의연구에서도칫솔질횟수에따른 PHP index의경우치면세균막지수가감소는하나통계적으로는유의한차이는보이지않아본연구와동일한결과를보여주고있다. 하지만 Woo와 Kim 16) 의또다른연구결과를보면칫솔질교습전 PHP index가 1.587이었지만칫솔질교습일주일후 1.097로현저히낮아져통계적으로유의한차이를보이는것으로나타났다. 이는칫솔질횟수보다는칫솔질시간과올바른칫솔질방법이치면세균막지수를낮춘다는것을의미한다. 물론습관화된칫솔질의경우회귀현상으로인해원래의잘못된방법으로되돌아갈수있지만개인에게맞는칫솔질방법을지속적으로교육해준다면효과적인결과를보일것으로기대된다. 또한환자자신이치면세균막을가장효과적으로제거할수있어야하며, 그러기위해서는전문가인치과위생사의역할이무엇보다중요할것으로생각된다. 치면세균막지수에가장영향을미치는요인은구강건강을위한칫솔질여부로조사되었다. O'leary index, PHP index, PHP-M index 모두통계적으로유의한차이를보였으며, 구강건강을위한칫솔질의중요성이부각되는결과라할수있다. 칫솔질교육을통한치면세균막지수의감소에관한연구는이미많이진행되었다 16-19). 하지만대부분의교과서나구강보건교육매체들은회전법만을강조하고권장하고있다. 다양한칫솔질방법들은특성상각각의다른효과를보이기때문에 18) 환자들의구강건강상태에따라알맞은칫솔질방법을선택할수있도록일률적인교육이아닌맞춤형교육이앞으로는필요할것으로판단된다. 치면세균막은자가또는전문가에의해관리와예방이가능하다. 그러나치면세균막은빠르게생성된다는특징때문에전문가에의한전적인관리는불가능하다 20). 앞에서도언급했듯이자가관리의가장효과적인방법은올바른칫솔질법과구강위생용품의사용이다. 개인에게맞는적합한구강위생용품의선택과사용방법숙지및주기적인전문가치면세균막관리가병행된다면구강병의예방및관리는가능할것으로생각된다. 본연구는구강건강관리행위에따른치면세균막지수검사법의상관성을함께조사하였다는면에서는의의가있지만진행과정에서일부대학의여학생만을대상으로조사하였으며, 표본수가적으므로모집단을대표하여일반화하기에는제한점을갖는다. 그러므로후속연구에서는남학생도포함하고대상자수를확대시켜야하며, 더욱더다양한치면세균막지수검사법간의차이점도이루어져야할것으로생각된다. 또한인과관계를보다명확히보기위해서는종단연구가진행되어야할것으로생각된다. 요약 구강건강관리행위의실태를파악하고, 치면세균막검사법에따른치면세균막지수의차이와이둘의상관성을조사하기위해 2013년 10월부터 2014년 10월까지경기도와충청남도에소재한 3개대학의치위생과학생을대상으로자기기입식설문지작성과치면세균막지수를각각측정하여진행하여다음과같은결론을얻었다. 1년이내에구강검진을받았다고응답한대상자는 62.8%, 예방치과처치를한번이라도받아봤다고응답한대상자는 84.1% 로조사되었다. 불소가포함된세치제를사용하고있다고응답한대상자는 164
임순환ㆍ황지민 : 구강건강관리행위에따른치면세균막지수와의관련성 80.5% 였으며, 칫솔질은하루에 3회한다고응답한대상자가 68.9% 로가장높게나타났다. 칫솔질방법은회전법이, 칫솔질시간은 3분이각각 90.9%, 50.0% 로조사되었다. 치면세균막검사법중 O'leary index로조사한결과평균 27.88로조사되었으며, PHP index는평균 1.30, PHP-M index는평균 12.12로조사되었다. 구강건강관리행위에따른치면세균막지수는칫솔질시간이통계적으로유의한차이를보이는것으로조사되었다. 칫솔질시간이 2분이하일경우 O'leary index 31.37, PHP index 1.61, PHP-M index 14.61로조사되었으며, 4분이상일경우 O'leary index 23.32, PHP index 1.07, PHP-M index 9.59로조사되어칫솔질시간이늘어날수록치면세균막지수는낮아지는것으로나타났다 (p<0.05). 치면세균막지수에가장영향을미치는요인은 구강건강을위한칫솔질여부 (B=-9.747, t=-3.752, p<0.001) 로나타났으며, 이는통계적으로유의한차이를보였다. 설명력은 O'leary index 13.3%, PHP index (B=-0.375, t= -3.016, p=0.003) 와 PHP-M index (B=-4.541, t=-3.708, p<0.001) 는각각 12.3%, 17.5% 로조사되었다. 이상의결과를정리해보면, 치면세균막지수에영향을미치는구강건강관리행위는칫솔질시간과구강건강을위한칫솔질여부로조사되었다.
