Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study focused on children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old, using raw data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018), and effects of dental caries (DMFT: decayed?missing?filled teeth) and pit and fissure sealant benefit amounts according to oral health behaviors.
Methods: A total of 2,306 people were surveyed. Statistical analyses were performed using the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS ver. 25.0.
Results: The study found that the factors influencing the amount of dental caries experience were significant among oral health behaviors, oral health status, presence of toothache in the past year, and oral examination within 1 year (adj.R²=0.241). Among oral health behaviors, perceived oral health status had a significant effect on the factors influencing the amount of pit and fissure sealant benefits (p <0.001, adj.R²=0.122).
Conclusions: The above results confirmed that among oral health behaviors, perceived oral health status had a significant effect on the amount of permanent dental caries experience and amount of pit and fissure sealant benefits. In future studies, discussing objective and subjective oral health statuses is necessary.
