A total of 155 students and members of the teaching staff who visited the dental health care room at a college located in Busan were investigated from July 1 to 30, 2010. A statistical package SAS 9.2 was employed to organize and analyze the collected data. The level of significance was all set at 0.05. Among the methods of dental-caries prevention, the removal of environmental factors had a significant positive correlation with the removal of environmental factors for periodontal diseases (r=0.25, p<.0.01), and that had a significant negative correlation with cariogenic risk factors (r=-0.17, p<.0.05). The factor that exerted an influence on the removal of host factors was gender dummy variable only, and the women made more use of the removal of host factors than the men among the methods of dental-caries prevention. The factors that affected the removal of environmental factors were age dummy variable and blood-type dummy variable, which were statistically significantly influential. In the case of blood type, the estimated standardization coefficient of AB-type dummy
variable (dummy 3) was -0.233, and the respondents whose blood type was AB made less use of the removal of environmental factors than the respondents with the other blood types. In the future, every school should provide oral health education for every student and employee every year on a regular basis, and various approaches should be taken in consideration of the gender, age and blood type of individuals to urge them to get regular dental checkups, have their teeth cleaned, pay attention to periodontal care and receive dental- caries treatment as early as possible.
