This study was based on a survey which examined the actual condition of oral cavity in terms of developing the program for enhancing oral health of infants. The survey focused on infants living in Jinju city from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 2001.
Out of them, 121 infants(5-year-old) having only milk tooth was accepted as a sample for the oral test in terms of dental caries and plaque control.
I n this study, its dental test data sheet was prepared with English characters and symbols for dental caries notation as recommended by World Health Organization(WHO), where sound tooth, caries tooth, filled tooth and chronic caries tooth were abbreviated as s, d, f and m respectively. In dental plaque data sheet, every dental plaque was recorded with the categorization of a tooth into 4 sections in accordance with O’ Leary Dental Plaque Test.
Collected data was analyzed with SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) program.
In terms of analysis technique, frequency and percentage were calculated so as to identify general features of infants as the subjects in this survey. To look into the actual conditions of dental caries and plaque according to general features of subjects, x2(Chi-square) test, frequency analysis, t-test and one-way ANOVA were performed respectively. In addition, correlation analysis was performed to determine the effects of dental caries on dental plaque control. The results of analysis can be summarized as follows:
1.For the organizational distribution as one of subjects’ features, it was shown that S Kindergarten amounted to 37.2% H Kindergarten 21.5%, A Kindergarten 21.5% and C Kindergarten 19.8% respectively. And for gender, it was shown that boy amounted to 66.1% and girl 33.9%.
2.For the actual condition of dental caries by each Kindergarten, it was shown that infants from S and C Kindergarten had relatively more sound teeth than those from other Kindergartens, and infants from A Kindergarten had more milk teeth with caries than those from other Kindergartens. As a result, there was statistically significant difference (x2=52.50, p<.001).
3.For the statistics of dental caries, the infants from A Kindergarten showed the following test results: dmf rate 92.3%, dmft rate 22.31%, dmft index 4.46 teeth and dt rate 63.18% respectively. And the infants from H Kindergarten showed the following test results: ft rate 39.57% and mt rate 2.31%.
4.For plaque control record by each Kindergarten, it was shown that infants from S Kindergarten amounted to 40.47%, those from H Kindergarten 32.98%, those from C Kindergarten 30.68% and those from A Kindergarten 25.24%. As a results, there was statistically significant difference (t=3.74, p<.05).
5.For the correlation between dental caries and plaque control record, it was noted that more dental caries infants have led to higher plaque control record. As a result, there was statistically significant static correlation (r=.472, p<.05).
