Objectives: Self-analysis of oral health and the ability to manage oral hygiene in scaling patients is important for planning and managing oral hygiene. The PHP index allows the communication of self-controlled methods of oral hygiene. We evaluated the effect of scaling and tooth brushing instruction after an oral examination.
Methods: This study was conducted on 100 patients who visited the C dental clinic in Seoul for a worker’s oral examination from January 2 to June 30, 2009. They were 25∼29 years old and needed scaling treatment. An oral check-up and PHP index survey were taken 3 times; before tooth brushing instruction, 1 week after instruction, and 1 month after instruction.
Results: It showed that gender and toothbrushing method had relevance to gingival bleeding and gingivitis. The PHP index decreased 1 week after instrucion but increased at 1 month. For the usage of oral hygiene aid goods, dental floss is the most used goods, the second is a mouth wash, and the third is a electric toothbrush.
Conclusions: Tooth brushing instruction is important for oral hygiene. However, instruction needs to be performed repeatedly and systematically over time.
