Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study is to prevent diseases for non-infectious oral diseases by examining the sensitivity to infectious diseases and the avoidance of dental treatment. Sensitivity to infectious diseases, avoidance of dental care, depression of corona, and prevention of infectious diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic were investigated, over 20 years old and living in Daegu and Gyeongbuk province since October 2020. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the “non-sensitive group” scored 2.17 points (±0.89), the “intermediate interest group” scored 2.42 points (±0.79), and the “overall sensitive group” scored 2.73 points (±0.99). It was found that the more susceptible group to infectious disease, the higher the degree of avoidance of dental treatment. It is thought that dental workers should strive to lower the disease rate of non-infectious oral diseases by improving the dental visit rate through consideration for the sensitive group and thorough hygiene management. Dental medical personnels must thoroughly wash their hands, wear uniforms, wear personal protective equipment, and thoroughly clean and disinfect the interior of a dental clinic.
