Periodontal diseases are one of major dental diseases that commonly happen in oral cavity. They tend to start with initial inflammation, and if they are not managed appropriately, they would cause the loss of teeth, which is a chronic disease. Patients should recognize their oral health for themselves. This study is to find out the relationship between the subjective recognition and objective assessment results. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out whether the subjective recognition is related to oral environment or not. This study was conducted in from June 2015 to October. Oral health assessment and survey were carried out to the adult subjects of this study who were over 19 years and visited dental clinics located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province. The factors influencing oral environment was analyzed according to the subjects’ characteristics of social demography. In TPI(p<0.001), S-PHP(p<0.001), PMA(p<0.044), CPI(p<0.000), male’ figure is higher than female’ one. In a smoker group, the figure of both male and female is noticeably high in TPI(p<0.001), S-PHP(p<0.004), PMA(p<0.009), CPI(p<0.002). The factors influencing oral hygiene was analyzed according to the subjective recognition about periodontal diseases. For people who have suffered from periodontal diseases, their figures of S-PHP(p<0.010), PMA(p<0.011), CPI(p<0.024) are high, and for people who have suffered from tooth mobility, their figures are high in S-PHP(p<0.008), PMA(p<0.002), CPI(p<0.002). The figures of TPI(p<0.007), PMA(p<0.010), CPI(p<0.002) are noticeably high for the group who do not use dental floss. The factors influencing oral environment was analyzed according to the subjective recognition about oral hygiene care. The unhealthier oral health is, the higher the figure is in S-PHP(p<0.001), PMA(p<0.028), CPI(p<0.004). The less often brushing teeth is performed, the higher the figures in TPI(<0.001), S-PHP(p<0.008), PMA(p<0.033), CPI(p<0.004) are. The poorer ability to manage oral hygiene care the subjects have, their figures are noticeably high in TPI(p<0.001), S-PHP(p<0.001), PMA(p<0.002), CPI(p<0.000). There are 3 relevant factors between subjective recognition about periodontal diseases and oral environment: chewing difficulty(p<0.001) in S-PHP, alveolar bone resoption(p<.0001) in PMA, and tooth mobility(p<0.011) in CPI. As the results are indicated above, adults’ subjective recognition about periodontal diseases is not related to oral environment. Preventive programs effective for oral health care should be developed so that adult-centered dental health education programs can be activated.
