Objectives: This study aimed to confirm the correlation between oral frailty and health-related quality of life (HINT-8) among older adults in Korea. Methods: The data of 1,318 individuals aged ≥65 years who participated in the eighth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019) were analyzed using complex sample statistical analysis. Results: Chewing discomfort was found to decrease the HINT-8 scores by 1.246, 1.324, and 1.089 times in the physical, social, and mental domains, respectively. Speech discomfort was found to decrease the HINT-8 scores by 1.275, 1.449, and 1.175 times in the physical, social, and mental domains, respectively. The HINT-8 scores of participants with ≤19 natural teeth were lower in the physical and social domains. Similarly, the HINT-8 scores of participants with brushing frequency of ≤2 were lower in the positive health domain. Non-use of oral hygiene products led to a reduction in the HINT-8 score in the social health domain. Conclusions: Oral frailty in older adults reduces the health-related quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to formulate policies to manage oral frailty in this population and develop specialized programs for the management of oral frailty.

음성 신호처리에서 많이 쓰이는 음성구간 검출은 주로 음향신호의 분석을 통하여 음향 신호에 음성이 존재하는지 여부를 판단한다. 그러나 음향신호를 이용한 방법은 음성 또는 비음성 잡음이나 주위 음향 환경에 의하여 성능이 결정된다는 단점이 있다. 음향 환경 변화에 강인한 음성구간 검출을 수행하기 위하여, 영상정보를 이용한 음성구간 검출 방법들이 최근에 연구되어 왔는데 기존 방법들은 입술 모양의 변화를 추정하기 위하여 입술 모델 등을 이용하거나 구강(oral cavity) 영역에 해당하는 픽셀 수의 변화를 이용하여 음성 구간을 검출하였다. 위 방법들은 입술의 모양을 추정하는 데 복잡한 계산이 필요하거나, 입술 모양 추정 없이 구강 영역픽셀 수만 이용하기 때문에 다소 정확도가 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는, 입술 모양의 변화를 추정하기 위해 밖으로 드러나는 구강 영역의 모양을 타원 근사법으로 추정하고, 타원의 넓이와 높이의 변화를 이용하여 음성 구간을 검출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비교 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법은 구강영역 픽셀 수의 변화만 이용하는 방법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of oral health behavior, oral health state and PHP in an effort to facilitate the promotion of oral health and improve oral health care. The subjects in this study were patients who got a scaling at the oral hygiene practice lab in the department of dental hygiene in S college dental clinic from September 5 to December 1, 2007. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 12.0 program. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. The younger patients had a smaller number of FT index, and the older patients excelled the younger ones in oral health behavior involving the use of oral hygiene supplies, regular visit to dental clinics and dietary control. 2. The patients got 2.62 out of possible five points on oral health behavior, which indicated that their oral health behavior wasn't good enough. Those whose oral health behavior was better had a smaller number of DT index and a larger number of FT index. A better oral health behavior led to a lower PHP index. 3. There was a negative(-) interrelationship between oral health behavior and DT index, and oral health behavior had a positive(+) correlation with FT index. The oral health behavior had a negative(-) correlation to PHP index, which showed that a better oral health behavior led to a lower PHP index. The above-mentioned findings seem to suggest that oral health behavior is one of integral factors to affect oral health status and PHP index, and the kind of oral health education that could change oral health care attitude should be provided during scaling practice after grasping the actual oral health behavior of patients.

The purpose of this study was to examine the oral symptoms, self-rated systemic health state and oral health status of industrial workers in a bid to provide some information on oral health education geared toward industrial workers. The subjects in this study were 294 workers who got a medical checkup in Korea Industrial Health Association in North Gyeongsang Province. Those who felt less inconveniences in the oral cavity led a better quality of life related to oral health in every area except physical handicaps (p<.001, p<.01). The men's OHIP-14 was higher than the women's, and the younger workers led a better quality of life related to oral health in the area of social separation(p<.01), and the married ones did in the area of physical handicaps, mental disorder and social separation(p<.05). And the workers whose household income was larger lived a better quality of life related to oral health in the areas of Psychological discomfort, physical handicaps, mental disorder, social disorder and social separation(p<.05). Those who found themselves to be generally in good health(p<.001, p<.05) and whose subjective oral health state was led a better quality of life in every area(p<.001, p<.05). The findings of the study showed that there were differences in the quality of life according to awareness of oral symptoms, general health status and oral health state.

The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life of high schoolers related to oral health. The subjects in this study were 287 high school students, on whom a survey was conducted. After the collected data were analyzed, the following findings were given: 1. As for self-perceived oral health state, 34.8 percent of the high schoolers investigated found themselves to be in a good oral health, and 65.2 percent didn't. In regard to concern for oral health, 15.7 percent showed a lot of interest, and 52.6 percent were a little interested. 31.7 percent had no interest in that. 2. Out of the oral health impact profile (OHIP) areas, they scored highest on the area of physical pain(2.24) and lowest on the area of social disadvantage(1.35). The overall oral health impact profile was 1.66. 3. Concerning relationship between general characteristics and the OHIP areas, the high school boys got significantly higher scores on the area of social disadvantage, and those who had ever visited dentist's offices scored statistically significantly higher on the areas of physical pain and mental insecurity. 4. Regarding connections between concern for oral health and the OHIP areas, those who were very interested in oral health got statistically significantly higher scores on every area. 5. As to the correlation among the OHIP areas, there was a statistically significantly positive correlation among all the areas.

본 논문에서는 충치 환자의 진단을 위해 구강 영상에서 충치를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 구강은 붉은색을 띄고 치아는 흰색을 띈다는 특징이 있기 때문에, 구강 영상을 YCbCr 컬러모델로 변환한다. YCbCr 컬러모델에 임계치를 설정하여 붉은 영역을 검출해내고, 검출된 붉은 영역에 대해 이진화하여 치아 영역을 추출한다. 그 후, 모폴로지 기법을 이용하여 잡음 제거 및 치아의 빈 공간을 채운다. 치아 영역 추출 시 영상에 따라 치아 사이를 잇는 모서리 부분이 손실된 경우가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 치아 사이의 손실된 부분을 연결 한다. 치아 영역에 ART2 알고리즘을 적용하여 클러스터링하고 충치 후보 영역을 추출한다. 충치 후보 영역에 8방향 윤곽선 추적 기법을 적용하여 충치를 분석 및 추출한다. 실험 결과 81%의 추출 성공률을 보였고 다양한 형태의 충치를 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Special Practitioner exists based on the need for special fields that are required to manage difficult patients with specialized skills distinguished from General practitioner. The purpose of dental specialist system is to manage patients who are not treatable by general practitioner by training doctors specializing in one specific field, thereby, enhancing health of the public. Oral Medicine deals with orofacial pain, oral soft tissue disease, forensic dentistry, oral diagnosis. In these days, living environments of city life bring about increase in stress which ultimately lead to increase in prevalence of temporomandibular disorder, oral soft tissue disease, neuropathies such as trigeminal neuralgia, and hence, the number of patients seeking help of those symptoms tend to increase. The purpose of this study was to analyze the rate of referrals and the routes of patients seeking help by investigating 3,707 patients who visited Department of Oral Medicine, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, from August, 2004 to April, 2005. The results were as follows: 1. The types of disease referred to the Department of Oral Medicine were orofacial pain, oral soft tissue disease, forensic dentistry, oral diagnosis. 2. The rate of referrals was 58.51% which implies that more than half of the patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine were referred. 3. The types of institution which made referrals were analyzed, and as a result, dental clinics made most of the referrals with the rate of 83.23%, while that from medical or oriental medical institutions was 16.78%. 4. Among the patients who visited the Department of Oral Medicine on their own, 30.52% gained the information about the Department of Oral Medicine from internet and mass media, and from neighbors. From the above results, most of the patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine were found to be referred not only from the field of dentistry but also from the field of medicine. These suggest that Oral Medicine manages patients who are not treatable by general dental practitioners, and medical specialists tend to cooperate with the Department of Oral Medicine to manage diseases associated with Oral Medicine. Therefore, the role of Oral Medicine can be considered to be important as a special field, and the results of this study should be considered when working out a policy of Dental specialist system on demand and supply of residents in the future.
