目的：本研究的目的是考察日本大学生口腔健康意识的变化。方法：1990年至2004年间，东京大学新入学的学生共有51，650名，回答了年度口腔健康书面问卷。结果：（i）大约60%的学生每天刷牙两次。女生刷牙的频率高于男生。(ii)每次刷牙2-3分钟的学生比例下降，而刷牙4分钟或以上的比例增加。(iii)学会正确刷牙的学生人数增加了。这一趋势在男生中尤为明显，尽管已经学会正确刷牙的女生比例仍然高于男生。(iv)因错牙合而寻求治疗的女生比例高于男生。接受正畸治疗的学生比例从11.6%增加到19.7%。接受正畸治疗的女生比例大约是男生的两倍。(v)颞下颌关节紊乱病的学生的百分比是0.7%的男性和1.5%的女性。(vi)超过40%的学生患有牙周病，男生患病率高于女生。(vii)约20%的学生希望咨询我们的服务中心。结论：在过去的15年里，东京大学新生的口腔健康意识有所提高。
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine changes in awareness of oral health among Japanese university students.METHODS: Between 1990 and 2004, a total of 51,650 students newly enrolled at the University of Tokyo responded to an annual written questionnaire on oral health.RESULTS: (i) Approximately 60% of the students brushed their teeth twice a day. Female students brushed more frequently than male students. (ii) The percentage of students who brushed for 2-3 min per time decreased, while the percentage who brushed four or more minutes increased. (iii) The number of students who had learned how to brush properly increased. This trend was particularly clear-cut among male students, although the proportion of female students who had learned to brush properly remained higher than that of male students. (iv) The percentage of female students who sought treatment for malocclusion was higher than that of male students. The percentage of students who underwent orthodontic treatment increased from 11.6 to 19.7%. The percentage of female students who received orthodontic treatment was approximately twofold that of male students. (v) The percentage of students who had temporomandibular disorders was 0.7% in males and 1.5% in females. (vi) More than 40% of the students had periodontal diseases, with a higher prevalence among male students than female students. (vii) Approximately 20% of the students wanted to consult our service centre.CONCLUSIONS: The awareness of oral health among new undergraduates at the University of Tokyo has improved over the past 15 years.
