目的调查泉州市城乡居民的口腔保健用品使用情况,为口腔保健用品的普及提供依据。方法采用多阶段、分层、整群、等容量、随机抽样的方法,抽取泉州市20岁以上城乡常住人口600人,分为20~29岁组、30~39岁组、40~49岁组、50~59岁组、60岁及以上5个组,进行口腔保健用品使用情况调查。结果被调查的600名居民中,65.5%(393/600)的居民每天至少刷2次牙,年龄与刷牙频率等级之间有线性关系(P〈0.05),即随着年龄的增加,刷牙频率有降低的趋势;年龄与每次刷牙时间等级之间有线性关系(P〈0.05),即随着年龄的增加,每次刷牙时间有增加的趋势;53.7%(322/600)的受调查者每天都用牙签,年龄与牙签使用频率等级之间有线性关系(P〈0.05),即随着年龄的增加,牙签使用频率有增加的趋势。70.8%的居民没听说过牙线;91.8%的居民没听说过牙间隙刷;只有10.8%的居民使用过漱口水。结论泉州市的城乡居民刷牙比较普遍,牙线、牙间隙刷、漱口水等口腔保健用品的使用率较低。有必要推广全民性自我口腔保健行动,更新群众观念,促进其正确认识及使用口腔保健用品。
