Objective: In order to utilize dietary control, one of ways to prevent dental caries, more easily, the sugar content and viscosity of food were measured to obtain cariogenic index. Using this index, this study is to contribute to having proper eating habits through improvement of eating habits and to the prevention of dental caries through the use of computation program for dietary control.
Methods: A 5-day dietary log from 105 students in the first year of high school, who are residing in Cheonan, and the result
of survey was entered into the existing computation program for dietary control to examine calorie intake, 3 major nutrients
and deficiency of clean food intake count, cariogenic index; S-PHP index and Snyder test were performed to examine the
correlation of each category with oral health.
Results: The ratio of average daily intake of 3 major nutrients was 62.4:19.9:17.7 respectively, and the average daily intake
count of clean food was 2.44±1.71, which was appropriate. The average cariogenic index, 152.89±65.45 min. Since cariogenic index (r=?0.535), S-PHP index (r=?0.338) and Snyder test (r=?0.365) decreased as clean food intake count increased, they showed a relatively high correlation (p＜0.01).
Conclusion: Computation program for dietary control enables analyzing adolescents’ dietary habits by category and leads
them to have proper eating habits through improvements in eating habits, which will result in dental caries prevention and
oral health improvements; therefore, utilization of the program for preventive care in clinical environment is recommended.
