Abstract

In Kagoshima University, medical examinations of students are carried out every year, while an oral health checkup has not been performed. A dental checkup was performed for 1,990 newly enrolled students in 2005. The subjects examined were 1,178 males and 751 females (attendance rate was 96.9%, and the average age was 20.5 years). The examination items and criteria were based on the recording sheet for periodontal disease examination issued by Kagoshima Kokuhoken Kyokai. The ratios of the students who had dental diseases or disorders except dental caries or periodontal diseases were as follows: disease of the mucous membrane, 0.4%; abnormalities in the form or number of teeth, 4.5%; temporomandibular joint disorders, 5.2%; malocclusion, 22.8%; others, 0.5%. The mean number of present teeth, filled teeth, and decayed teeth per student were 28.4, 4.2, and 0.8, respectively. The DMFT index was 5.0, which was lower than the value stated in the "Report on the Survey of Dental Diseases (1999)" by the Health Policy Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Japan (7.2 for subjects aged 15 to 19 years). The prevalence ofperiodontal disease was 24.3%.
