Abstract

The authors, to collect some necessary data to promote correcting the toothbrushing method, the most basic home dental care, and to arrest the attention to the dentifrices in Korea, observed and evaluated the cervical abrasion experience rate in 8,000 Korean male and female adults from 19 to 52 years in the age, which had been extracted by the stratified random sampling method. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Cervical abrasion experience rate was 18.6% in Korean adults. 2. Cervical abrasion experience rate in male adults was higher than that in female adults. 3. Cervical abrasion experience rate was gradually increased by ageing. 4. It seemed the cervical abrasion experience rates in the adults in Honam and Youngnam district to be higher than those in the other districts. 5. In Korean adults, the further detail inveatigations into the cervical abrasion were required.
