1 Journal of Dental Hygiene Science Vol., No. 2 pp. ~9 (200) w k w Á ww e A Study on the Oral Healthcare Condition of Adult in Public Health and Their Knowledge about Oral Health Mee-Hee Jung and Mi-Young Park Department of Oral Health, Suwon Science College, Korea "#4"$ The purpose of this survey research was to investigate the relationship between the health promotion and the Oral Health knowledge of 20 adults which lived in Kyunggi-do using SPSSWIN 2.0. The following conclusions were obtained.. Objects who take the periodic health examination was 8.2% and the opposite case was 6.8%. And the reseach subjects who take the periodic dental examination was 0.% and the opposite case was 69.%. 2. The research subjects who take the Oral Health education was.8% and the opposite case was 88.2%.. The relationship between the general characteristic and health promotion status of the research subjects taking periodic examination showed statistically significant difference at items of ages, occupation and the reason of training (p < 0.0). 4. In case of the relationship of the Oral Health knowledge according to sex distinction, 68.4% of all research subjects thought that the appropriate toothbrushing time was around minutes, but it did not show significant difference statistically.. In case of the Oral Health knowledge according to age, it showed significant difference statistically at item of 'the toothbrushing time is after each meal and before retiring (p =.02)', item of 'if you use the fluorine, you can prevent the dental caries (p =.0)', and item of 'foods causing the dental caries are a chocholate and a biscuit, etc. (p-.044). 6. In case of the Oral Health knowledge according to the occupation, 68.4% of all reasearch subjects thought that the appropriate toothbrushing time was around minutes (p =.04), and it showed significant difference statistically.. In case of he relationship between reseach subjects taking the periodic examination and the Oral Health knowledge, it did not show significant difference statistically.,fz XPSET Heath, Health promotion(periodic examination), Dental health promotion, Oral health consciousness (health) mw z yù ƒe y z w ƒw.» 400 sjl(b.c. 49-)ƒ x w» ¾ ƒw. ù wù w 9» d šw ).» (WHO)x y xw k w, z w kš ³ wš. x y w ƒš, wš Corresponding author Tel: Fax: @hanmail.net,, û, w y, p 2) w w txš. w, w w z w f ƒ. ã w, z w ƒ w w ƒ. z w ew wš, k w wù j w w e w w. w ù ƒ eù e wš j» w 4) w vƒ. y š w, zy ƒ e» k w.» w e š w e ) e e w š. w k w e 00% z
