Survey and Analysis of the Current Oral Health Status of Personnel on Long Voyages in Submarine Units
Abstract：During the long voyage phase of oceanic submarines, the incidence of oral diseases among personnel is significantly increased in the harsh and special environment, which may affect the work state and combat capability of submarine personnel [1-3]. This study investigates the current oral health status and oral hygiene behaviors of some personnel on long voyages, analyzes the medical needs for oral diseases among submarine personnel, and the impact of oral hygiene behaviors on the incidence of oral diseases. The aim is to develop targeted oral health education and publicity plans to enhance the awareness of oral health among personnel during long voyages, reduce the occurrence of oral diseases, and decrease non-combatant casualties, thereby ensuring the health support capability of personnel working in special environments.
