AB - Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the perception and usage of oral hygiene products among patients who visited dental hospitals or clinics. Methods: A questionnaire was provided to a total of 187 patients who visited dental hospitals or clinics in Gyeongnam area. The answers were then statistically analyzed. Results: Interest in oral hygiene (r=0.194, <0.01) and the subjective perception of oral health (r=0.232, <0.01) had a significant positive correlation with oral hygiene device awareness. Moreover, this study showed that females (β=-0.185, <0.05) and those with greater interest in oral health (β=0.156, <0.05) were more familiar with and used toothbrushes regularly. Finally, this study showed that females (β=-0.459, <0.001) and those who did not suffer from halitosis (β=-0.215, <0.01) were more familiar with and used oral hygiene devices regularly. Conclusions: To ensure the proper recognition and use of oral hygiene devices, professional oral health education is necessary. Furthermore, various forms of media should be used to disseminate information on oral hygiene devices.
