This study was carried out an elementary school located in B-myeon and K-myeon of Gimje. One school (test group) with a school oral health care office and three schools (control group) without school oral health care offices were selected as sample schools. The dental caries prevention effects were compared between third to sixth graders who received benefits of the school continued oral health management program of K health office in Gimje, and first and second graders who did not receive the benefits due to the suspension of the program. The decayed, missing, and filled (DMF)rate, that received the benefits of the program, the test group was 58.9% and the control group was 76.1%, showing significant difference (p＜0.05). For the DMF teeth (DMFT) rate, the who received benefits from the program, the test group was 41.1% and the control group was 64.2%, showing significant difference (p＜0.01). For the DMFT index, the third to sixth graders that received benefits of the program, the test group was1.73 and the control group was 3.66 showing significant difference (p＜0.001). For the decayed teeth (DT) index, it was 0.72 for the test group and1.96 for the control group showing significant difference (p＜0.001). For the filled teeth index, the test group was 0.63 for the test group and 0.99for the control group showing significant difference (p＜0.05). For the DT rate, the total test group was 57.23% and 64.16% for the control group. For who received benefits from the program, the DT rate was 54.81% for the test group and 60.98% for the control group. The effects of the student continued oral health management program carried out by the oral health office can be confirmed. It is judged that efforts for continuous maintenance and promotion will be necessary to improve the oral health of students.
