Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to determine if a 5-day lifestyle diary could be used to survey the frequency of consumption of cariogenic foods, as well as clean foods that reduce the formation of bacterial film on the tooth surface, and reveal the association between dietary intake factors and dental caries.
Methods
60 participants of the Healing School located in Jinan, Jeollabuk-do were asked to record a 5-day diet diary (4 days on weekdays and 1 day on weekends), and 53 participants (average age 42.6±1.16 years) were selected without exclusions. The results were cross-analyzed using frequency analysis (P=0.05).
Results
The frequency of cariogenic food consumption showed a significant positive correlation with the frequency of clean food consumption (P<0.05), total food consumption (P<0.001), and cariogenic food consumption (P<0.001).
Conclusions
Oral health indicators may be improved if dental hygiene management is customized by investigating ways to reduce and prevent oral diseases early on the basis of dietary intake.
