I. 목적 : 결막 림프종 환자의 전자선 치료를 위해 Lens shielding block의 제작시 외부 의뢰 제작과 SMC 자체 제작의 장${\cdot}$단점을 비교해보고 제작 과정에 있어 업무의 효율성을 평가하고자 한다. II. 대상 및 방법: Lens shielding block의 제작시 외부의뢰제작과정과 자체 제작 과정을 비교하여 업무의 효율성, 인력의 변화 및 두방법의 장?단점을 분석하였다. 모의치료후 두 방법의 제작 시간을 비교하였으며, 재료의 차이점과 이용방법을 비교하여 개선된 사항을 알아보았다. III. 결과 : Lens shielding block의 자체 제작시 치료 시작시기는 모의치료 실시 후 7일에서 3일로 단축되어 업무의 효율성과 그에 따른 환자의 불편함이 줄어들게 되었다. 또한, 외부의뢰 제작 과정에서 실시되었던 치과와 치과 기공실에 의뢰하던 과정이 없어지고 과내 모의치료실과 공작실에서 작업하게 되어 모든 작업을 과내에서 일률적으로 실시할 수 있게 되었다. 또한, 모의치료를 실시하면서 실시간으로 shielding block을 수정 할 수 있어 정확성이 재고되었고, 반복되는 제작 작업으로 인해 제작 공정이 보편화되고, 손쉬어졌으며, 재료 활용의 효율성이 증대되었다. IV. 결론 : Lens shieiding block의 자체 제작으로 시간이 단축되어 업무의 효율성이 증대되었고 그에 따른 인력소모와 환자의 불편함이 줄어들게 되었으며, 제작자가 모의치료를 통해 바로 block의 오차를 수정할 수 있어 치료의 안정성 및 정확성이 높아졌으므로 결론적으로 의료의 질 개선과 서비스 향상이 이루어졌다.

This study aims to investigate the utilization status of dental services by foreign children living in Seoul and their level of satisfaction with the treatments. We developed a structured questionnaire with 35 questions, which comprised 14 questions (demographic characteristics) and 21 questions (oral hygiene and dental experience of the child). In this study, the distribution of nationality of 391 participants differed from the actual statistics in Korea. It consisted of high percentage of participants from African countries (23.6%), as well as North American countries (24.1%). In addition, the education status of most parents was above the level of college graduate. Despite the relatively high socioeconomic status of the participants, they showed minimal dental health knowledge regarding the aspect of oral hygiene. Utilization of dental health services and the types of dental clinics visited by them were similar before and after coming to Korea. The participants showed overall satisfaction with the care, but many of them expressed the need for improvement with regard to treatment fee and communication. In conclusion, foreign children living in Seoul require appropriate dental health education and governmental support to promote regular dental check-ups, to improve their overall oral health, and prevent the incidence of dental caries.

In this paper, we proposed of the results of the noise level and appropriate conversation distance by applying the noise characteristics generated during treatment at a dental clinic to the NR-curve and PSIL. As a result of analyzing the noise characteristics during treatment at a dental clinic, it was analyzed that the noise level exceeded 60dB(A), which is the health preservation limit value caused by noise, and the noise level increased as the frequency increased. the result of evaluation applying it to the NR curve, some treatment exceeded the workplace noise standard, and as a result of analyzing the level of conversational disturbance between the worker and the patient, it is desirable to have the conversation at a distance of less than 1M for accurate communication. In order to improve the quality of medical service in dental clinic and to reduce dental fear, it is judged that soundproofing protective equipment is provided to workers, and soundproofing measures are needed for noise sources (treatment devices used in treatment) and sound sources (patients and workers).

Our Constitution obliges the state to protect the health of the people, and the Medical Law, which embodied Constitution, sets out in detail the matters related to open the medical institution and one of them is to prohibit the operation of multiple medical institutions In the past, there was a provision stipulating the same purpose. But because the Supreme Court interpreted that several medical institutions could be opened if the medical treatment was not made at the additional medical instition which was opened in the another doctor,s license, multiple medical institutions could be opened and operated. However, some health care providers opened the several medical institutions to another doctor's license just by the excuse of the business management and then did illegal medical cares like the unfair luring of patients, overtreatment, and commition treatment for more profits. So, the health rights of the people came to be infringed on. Accordingly, lawmakers amended the Medical Law for medical personnel not to open and to operate more than one medical institution. As the amended medical law prohibited a medical personnel to open multiple medical institution, some medical personnels insisted that the amended medical law is unconstitutional under which they could not be able to open and operate medical institutions on based on free investment and bring out the benefits of network hospitals. But the regulation to prohibit multiple institutions does not apply only to a medical personnel. Many other experts like lawyer and pharmacist can open only one office under such a restriction. If the regulation goes out of force, the procedure that multiple medical institutions should be opened and operated in the capacity as a medical corporation or a non-profit corporation does not have to be followed. And we should keep in mind that the permission for medical personels to open multiple medical institutions could lead virtually to commercial hospital. If in the nation with a very low rate of public medical service, If only a few medical personnels with capital own many medical institutions and operate commercially them, this could cause a falling-off in quality of medical service, ultimately infringe on the health rights and the life right of the people.

For verification of differences of oral health belief depending on general matters and oral health behavior, t-test and ANOVA analysis were conducted, and for examination of the effects of oral health belief on use of medical service, logistic regression and regression analysis were conducted. The study results suggest that those who had higher sensitivity among oral health belief variables had higher probability of needing dental treatment and seeing the dentist immediately. And those who showed higher sensitivity and importance had higher frequency of seeing the dentist for six months. Future studies need to be conducted on the methods to change oral health belief for sustainable and systematic oral health enhancement in consideration of the factors affecting oral health belief and oral health behavior of the students of dental hygiene department.
