Objectives: This study was carried out for the purpose of examining the levels of vocational awareness and the professional ethics recognition in the clinical dental hygienists. Methods: A survey was conducted targeting 500 members who participated in the supplementary education program for dental hygienists in the first half of 2017. Total 328 subjects' materials were analyzed. Results: A reason for working in terms of the occupational identity was very high with 81.4% in 'aiming to earn money'. A goal of working was the highest with 41.5% in 'financial independence'. The professional ethics approach level was indicated to be the highest with 3.33 points in the domain of human relation. It was shown to be in order of the job satisfaction level with 3.21 points, followed by the lifelong working with 3.17 points, the vocational ethics observance with 2.95 points, the workplace satisfaction level with 2.82 points, and the job anxiety level with 2.65 points. The domain in the job anxiety level according to general characteristics was indicated to be significantly high in the higher age and work career in case of the married and in case of Seoul as a workplace. The domain in the professional ethics observance was shown to be significantly high in the higher work career in case of the married and in case of Gyeonggi Province as a workplace. The domain in the lifelong working was indicated to be significantly high in case of the married. Conclusions: For the establishment of the right professional ethics as a dental hygienist and for the securement of its practice starting from the education for the dental hygiene department, the development of educational program will be needed aiming at the approach to the professional ethics and the reinforcement in the vocational ethics recognition.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to contribute to the provision of a safe practice environment and practical sexual harassment prevention education for dental hygiene students who practice clinically. Methods: A total of 260 students with experience in clinical practice at dental hygiene colleges and universities in Gwangju and Jeonnam was included in this study. From May 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018, subjects were surveyed about sexual harassment experience, sexual harassment related information, self-esteem, and self-assertiveness. Statistical analysis was performed by frequency analysis, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results: In the sexual harassment survey revealed that 64.3% of offenders were patients and 50.0% of the offenders were in their 40s. A total of 78.6% of the offenders reported harassment in hospital type "dental clinics." Most respondents disclosed that "I did not do anything" (60.7%). Psychologically, 75.0% felt "shame and insult." Self-esteem was high in the fourth grade (3.68). Self-esteem and self-assertiveness were higher among those with no sexual harassment experiences (131.77 and 132.81, respectively; p<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that self-esteem and self-assertiveness were correlated (r=0.509, p<0.01). Factors influencing the perception of sexual harassment include: three to four months of clinical practice (${\beta}=0.361$), experience of sexual harassment (${\beta}=-0.551$), and self-esteem (${\beta}=0.503$). Conclusions: It is necessary to provide systematic and diverse information to address sexual harassment. A proper perception of what constitute sexual harassment in clinical practice is also relevant. Furthermore, practical sexual harassment prevention education program should be developed and implemented.

본 연구는 임상에서 널리 사용되고 있는 3종류의 탄성 인상재를 치과용 백색광 스캐너로 스캔하여 얻어진 데이터와 석고 지대치 모형과의 차이를 비교분석하였다. 인상재의 물성 차이가 3차원 디지털 모형의 정확성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 3차원 중첩 분석법을 통해 평가함으로써 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 석고 지대치 모형과 3종류의 인상재를 토대로 채득된 디지털 모형의 차이를 비교한 결과, HB 그룹이 $9.80{\pm}1.52{\mu}m$ 로 가장 큰 차이를 보였으며, XLB 그룹이 $5.10{\pm}1.45{\mu}m$로 가장 작은 차이를 나타내었다. 음형의 인상체 간의 정확성에 있어서는 측정된 평균값이 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). Color difference map의 결과에서도 HB 그룹에 비해 XLB 그룹이 오차가 0에 가까운 연두색의 분포가 넓게 나타났기에, 더욱 안정적이며 정확한 디지털 모형 채득이 가능한 탄성 인상재라는 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 아직까지는 음형의 인상체 스캔방식은 표면의 혈흔이나 난반사, 중합 수축 등 좀 더 개선하고 보완해야 할 문제점들이 존재하기 때문에 널리 사용하진 않지만, 석고 모형과 비교하였을 때 전체적인 오차범위가 크지 않기에 임상적으로 허용될만한 수준으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 심미 치과보철물에 사용되는 지르코니아, lithium disilicate 코어와 전장도재 사이의 전단결합강도를 측정하고, 금속도재관을 대조군으로 설정하여 비교하였다. 직사각기둥 모양의 시편을 각각 10개씩 제작하여 코어와 전장도재 사이의 전단결합강도를 측정한 후 파절면의 양상을 실체현미경을 통해 관찰하였다. 제한된 조건하에 시행된 실험을 통하여 심미보철 분야에 널리 적용되고 있는 치과용세라믹 코어의 전단결합강도를 확인하였으며, 측정 후 비교분석된 결과는 다음과 같다. 2종의 치과용 세라믹 코어와 전장도재 간에 전단결합강도는 금속도재관의 전단결합강도와 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 본 실험 결과를 토대로 ZB군은 임상적으로 받아들여지는 전단결합강도 범위 내 분포를 보이지만, LB군은 임상허용 범위에 못 미치는 결과값을 보였다. 금속도재관과 달리 지르코니아, lithium disilicate 전부도재관은 모두 혼합형 파절양상을 보였다. 결론적으로 전단결합강도 실험에 사용된 시편이 임상적인 치과보철물의 형태와는 달리 실험을 위한 시편의 형태로 제작되어 임상적 결과를 반영하지 못했으며 구강 내의 상황과도 다르다는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 추후에는 이를 보완하여 치과보철물과 유사한 형태의 시편을 이용한 전단결합 강도의 측정과 구강 내 조건을 고려한 추가 실험이 필요하다고 생각된다.
