关于定期使用牙科保健服务与口腔健康之间的关系，有许多报告，但大多数是基于问卷调查和主观评价。很少有客观评价咀嚼性能及其与利用牙科保健服务的关系。本研究的目的是确定定期使用牙科服务对咀嚼功能的影响。研究对象为大阪府绥田市普通居民1804人（男性760人，女性1044人，平均年龄66.5±7.9岁）。调查了定期使用牙科服务和口腔卫生习惯（刷牙频率和使用牙间辅助工具），并测量了牙周状况、咬合支持和咀嚼性能。用软糖进行咀嚼试验，评价咀嚼性能。采用Spearman相关检验和t -检验分析年龄、性别、定期使用牙齿、口腔卫生习惯、牙周状况或咬合支持与咀嚼性能的相关性。此外，在控制其他因素后，采用多元线性回归分析，探讨规律牙利用与咀嚼性能的关系。使用Spearman相关检验时，咀嚼能力与年龄显著相关，使用t检验时，咀嚼能力与常规牙齿使用、牙周状况或咬合支持显著相关。多元线性回归分析显示，即使在调整了年龄、性别、口腔卫生习惯、牙周状况和咬合支持等因素后，定期就诊与咀嚼功能仍存在显著相关（标准化偏回归系数β = 0.055）。这些结果表明，定期使用牙科保健服务是影响日本城市人口咀嚼功能的重要因素。
There are numerous reports on the relationship between regular utilization of dental care services and oral health, but most are based on questionnaires and subjective evaluation. Few have objectively evaluated masticatory performance and its relationship to utilization of dental care services. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of regular utilization of dental services on masticatory performance. The subjects consisted of 1804 general residents of Suita City, Osaka Prefecture (760 men and 1044 women, mean age 66.5 ± 7.9 years). Regular utilization of dental services and oral hygiene habits (frequency of toothbrushing and use of interdental aids) was surveyed, and periodontal status, occlusal support, and masticatory performance were measured. Masticatory performance was evaluated by a chewing test using gummy jelly. The correlation between age, sex, regular dental utilization, oral hygiene habits, periodontal status or occlusal support, and masticatory performance was analyzed using Spearman's correlation test and t‐test. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to investigate the relationship of regular dental utilization with masticatory performance after controlling for other factors. Masticatory performance was significantly correlated to age when using Spearman's correlation test, and to regular dental utilization, periodontal status, or occlusal support with t‐test. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that regular utilization of dental services was significantly related to masticatory performance even after adjusting for age, sex, oral hygiene habits, periodontal status, and occlusal support (standardized partial regression coefficient β = 0.055). These findings suggested that the regular utilization of dental care services is an important factor influencing masticatory performance in a Japanese urban population.
