초록

영어

The study was performed between March and June 2013 using students currently enrolled in a comprehensive dental hygiene care course. They were informed of the purpose of the study, underwent an oral cavity examination, and completed the self-administered questionnaire. The study produced the following results. To conclude, the oral health-related quality of life of university students is shown to be related to oral-health satisfaction and agreed with the objective oral health indices. Such results may have a positive influence on middle- and long-term oral care. It is necessary to increase the number of university students who benefit from the promotion of oral-health maintenance and periodic dental-hygiene care programs. Regarding oral-health related quality of life, pain, psychological discomfort, and social defects and impairment areas, students also had a tendency to score high marks. All these variables presented a significant difference between sexes. Concerning the state of oral environments, the causes of caries, and the level of oral-health satisfaction that affects the oral health-related quality of life, oral health satisfaction and intake of sugar-containing foods demonstrated a significant influence
