For studying on the actual condition of the oral health control of the old there were investigations on the questions with the college of the old in Chonbuk as the central figure from June 1 to June 30, 1998 and the analyses about the frequency and the mutual relation through χ2-test.
The results are as follow:
1. According to the result of the investigation into the actual condition about the oral health of the old, two times a day in the frequency of tooth brush per day was the highest at the rate of 50.35%, the use of dentifrice was 45.4%, and the exchanging time of tooth-brush after six months was the highest at the rate of 19.7%.
And 96.1% didn´t use dental floss and 73.6% didn´t do scaling.

And 54.93% visited the dental clinic within a year, and 22.3% among them made full denture. There was the mutual relation between the visit of dental clinic within a year and the consultation content and the number of people who told that the consultation expense was very expensive was the highest at the rate of 27.8% and 87% didn´t experience the oral education.
