Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: In order to aid the development of practical oral health improvement programs for adults, this study examined whether a correlation exists between oral health indices assessed by experts and self-perceived oral health status.
Methods: Raw data from the second year (2013-2015) of the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Among those surveyed, adults over the age of 19 were designated as research subjects.
Results: The DT indices, prosthetics indices, and Community Periodontal indices were higher when the subjective oral health status was “Bad.”
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated the consistency between subjective and objective oral health status. Thus, self-perceived oral health status is a reliable index to evaluate adult oral health projects for improving the quality of life of adults, improving their oral health, and evaluating future oral health services.
