Objective：In June 2020, the results of a survey of social medical practice in June 2019（1 year and 2 months after the introduction of national health insurance）were announced. These statistics were compared with those in June 2018 in the previous report. The purpose of this study was to clarify the latest actual state of the examination and management of oral hypofunction.
Materials and methods：According to the survey of social medical practice announced in June 2019 and June 2020, the implementation status of the examination and management of oral hypofunction in June 2018（2 months after the introduction of national health insurance）and June 2019（1 year and 2 months after the introduction）were compared.
Results：One year and two months after the introduction of national health insurance, the masticatory function test was conducted about 5 times more often, the tongue pressure test about 2 times, and management about 4 times, but the occlusal pressure test showed almost no change.
Discussion：Although it has spread, less than 1％ of first-time patients receive the tests, which are still in the process of spreading.
Conclusion：Although examination and management have become widespread, it is necessary to spread them further.
