Research data was about 1,471 patients who visited S dental clinic in Seoul at 2007 for scaling. Data from January 2007 to December 2013 was collected. The subjects were divided into 3 groups by their trend in number of dental revisits for scaling: once, 2 times, 3∼7 times. The data were analyzed using the chi-squire, independent-samples t-test and one-way ANOVA, binary logistic regression analysis. As a result, the trend of dental revisit for scaling is significantly decreased from first time to second time, and after 3rd time dental revisits were steadily continued. Factors affecting dental revisits for scaling are distance, family hospital, systemic disease, presence or absence of periodontal therapy. According to the results of the study, providing dental service in accordance with the patients' characteristics and increasing the dental revisits for scaling could give a positive influence to improvement of oral health.
