In order to study the relationship between regularity of dental attendance and the value attached to the retaining of the teeth, a survey has been carried out among 25-yr-olds in Amsterdam. The value attached to retention was operationalized threefold and was analyzed with, among others, principal component analysis for discrete variables (HOMALS). It has been found that regular dental attenders, compared to irregulars, give a higher priority to retention of the teeth than to other items, are willing to spend a larger amount of money to prevent loss of the teeth, and have a greater aversion to full dentures at both the present age and when 50 yr old. These findings are discussed. Based upon measures of association between the three operationalizations of the value attached to retention of the teeth, it is suggested that these operationalizations deal with different aspects of the attitude towards full dentures.
为了研究定期看牙与对保留牙齿重视程度之间的关系，在阿姆斯特丹的25岁人群中开展了一项调查。对保留牙齿的重视程度从三个方面进行了操作化处理，并采用离散变量主成分分析（HOMALS）等方法进行了分析。结果发现，与不定期看牙的人相比，定期看牙的人将保留牙齿置于比其他事项更高的优先级，愿意花费更多金钱来预防牙齿脱落，并且在当前年龄以及50岁时对全口假牙都有更大的抵触情绪。对这些发现进行了讨论。基于对保留牙齿重视程度的三种操作化处理之间的关联度量，表明这些操作化处理涉及了对全口假牙态度的不同方面。
