The most effective prevention method for the periodontal disease consequences is a regular scaling and root planning (SRP). The purpose of this study was to identify and recognize the service status on dental hygienists for the health insurance benefit scaling being carried out from July 2013. 1. As for the presence or absence of personnel in charge of dental scaling only, 88.5 percent replied there was no such personnel. Dental hygienists were the most common employees who were in charge of scaling(83.7%). 2. What should be modified in the health insurance for scaling was asked, and the respondents answered the cycle of scaling was the first thing to be changed irrespective of career. 3. Whether the addition of scaling to the insurance of the health insurance had any positive impact on the duties of dental hygienists was asked. 47.4 percent of the respondents with 10 years or more of experience and 47.3 percent of the respondents with six to nine years of experience replied it had a positive impact, and 41.9 percent of the respondents whose length of career was five years or less answered its influence was neither quite positive nor negative(p<0.05). 4. Concerning the number of scaling patients and the required time before and after the addition of scaling to the coverage, the most dominant required time for scaling before it was between 20 and less than 30 minutes(46.8%), followed by between 30 and less than 40 minutes(36.5%). 5. The addition of scaling to the coverage of the national health insurance exerted a more positive influence on hospital management when it was thought to have a more positive impact on the work of dental hygienists(r=0.370, p<0.01).
