Abstract : 「はじめに」家庭における口腔衛生手段として, 最も基本的かつ一般的なものが歯みがき行動である. このときに用いる歯磨き剤は, あくまでも歯ブラシによる歯口清掃効果を高めるための補助剤として位置づけられてきたものであるが, 現在では種々多様なものが入手できるようになり, 薬用成分が配合されている医薬部外品の歯磨き剤が多くを占めるようになった. おのずとその役割も, 従来の“補助剤”から“齲蝕と歯周疾患をはじめとする歯科疾患を予防・抑制するためのもの”というように, 積極的な意味合いが加わりつつある. 先進諸外国では, フッ化物の配合された歯磨き剤の普及率が上昇するにつれて, 子供たちの齲蝕状況が大きく改善・鎮静化されたことはよく知られた事実である. ところでわが国では, 種々多様な医薬部外品歯磨き剤が使用されてはいるが, 使用者が果してその効果を十分に理解した上で選択・使用しているかどうかについては疑わしい.

Abstract : Abstract: The principal self-care means of preventing dental diseases are dietary control and plaque control. Among them toothbrushing has the feature that is effective to prevent two our most destructive diseases, dental caries and periodontal disease. In particular, toothbrushing with fluoride dentifrice is suggested that it has the efficasy of prolonging the person's tooth life. In Japan, many kinds of medicated dentifrice are available but it is doubtful that people understand effectiveness of each medicated component fully. In the present study, we conducted the survey on the toothbrushing habits and the utilization of dentifrice, especially distribution of medicated dentifrice through questionnaire. The subjects are 1,198 employees (mean age; 34.2) in a private enterprise. This survey was carried out at the same day as the regular dental health examination was conducted. In the present study, it was demonstrated that the toothbrushing habits of these subjects are so good. For example, 98.3% of subjects brush their teeth every day and more than half of them do two times or upward every day. The ratio of people who use dentifrice every time when they brush their teeth reaches 91.5%. In addition, the ratio of the distribution of medicated dentifrice to that of cosmetic dentifrice is 3:1. Although 21.0% of people use the fluoride dentifrice, there are only a part of them who are conscious of fluoride one. On the other hand, although 8.3% of people use the sodium chloride dentifrice, there are relatively large part of them who are conscious that it contains sodium chloride. The present data are not necessarily representative of national validity but it probably indicates a general trend on the toothbrushing habits in Japanese adults. It must be confirmed with the accumulation of the results in similar surveys that will be carried out on various districts in Japan.
