Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the effects of the relationship among college students on the oral health were affected by the increased interest in the appearance.
Methods : After explanation of this study, we conducted the questionnaire to those who accepted questionnaire from April 26 to May 28, 2017. In order to collect the data, Naver-form (mobile) questionnaire was distributed to the research subjects and the collected data. The analysis technique used the frequency and percentage to examine the general characteristics of the subjects and the status of the relationship. Chi-square test was used to examine the number of toothbrushes, toothbrushing time, oral health concern, regular oral examination and scaling, use of oral care products, smoking status, and bad breath.
Result : Among the total of 190 research subjects, 79 (41.6 %) were male and 111 (58.4 %) were female. The presence of brushing just before going out and carrying a toothbrush were more frequent for those subjects who are in relationship (p<.001). The subjects who considered oral hygiene to be important were higher in those who were in relationship (p<.001).
Conclusion : Some oral health care behaviors such as toothbrushing just before going out or carrying a toothbrush were well formed, and oral hygiene was important in those who were in relationship.
