Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was conducted to confirm the changes in the dental hygienist's working environment and oral health education after insurance coverage for elderly implants.
Methods: This study surveyed 215 dental hygienists with clinical experiences of more than 4 years of working in dental hospitals (SPSS ver. 23.0, p<0.05).
Results: There was no significant change in the dental hygienist's work environment after the elderly implant insurance coverage, and most dental hygienists responded positively to the implant insurance coverage. Regardless of the benefits of elderly implant insurance, the contents of knowledge transfer related to implants did not change and were evenly covered.
Conclusions: In the future, as the proportion of the elderly population is increasing, an effective oral health education system using various oral health education media should be prepared.
