The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between diabetes and periodontal diseases in Korean adults based upon the data of the 2007 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects of this study were 190 adults aged ${\geq}19years$ whose CPI(Community Periodontal Index) and diabetes related medial histories including its component-specific examination data had been available, and the results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. Diabetes related characteristics associated with the prevalence of periodontal diseases include diabetes education, diabetes treatment, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The incidence rate of periodontitis was higher in the subjects who had not received diabetes education or treatment or who showed at least 7.0 of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (apt to be uncontrolled). 2. General health behaviors associated with the prevalence of periodontal diseases include smoking and drinking. The incidence rate of periodontitis was higher in those who were currently smokers or who had higher frequencies of drinking per week. 3. Oral health behaviors associated with the prevalence of periodontal diseases include the history of oral health examination in the previous year, the use of proxabrush or dental floss, and perceived oral health status. The incidence rate of periodontitis was higher in those who had not received oral health examinations in the previous year, who had used neither proxabrush nor dental floss or who perceived that their own oral health was poor.

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between metabolic syndrome and periodontal in the adult Korean population on the basis of the 2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) data. Of 19-year-old or older adult patients suffering from their disease diagnosed as metabolic syndrome, 1,315 subjects whose community periodontal index(CPI) information was fully available were finally analyzed, and the following conclusions were drawn. 1. It was found that of sociodemographic characteristics, age and educational background correlated to the prevalence of periodontal diseases. With increasing age and poorer educational background, the rates of periodontal diseases increased(p<0.001). 2. It was revealed that of general health behaviors, smoking, alcohol drinking and BMI correlated with the prevalence of periodontal diseases. Higher rates of periodontal diseases were shown in the group of patients who were current smokers(p<0.05), had the higher frequency of drinking per week(p<0.001), and had higher BMI(p<0.005). 3. It was ascertained that of oral health behaviors, the history of oral health examination in the previous year, the use of proxabrush or dental floss, and perceived(i.e., subjective) oral health status correlated to the prevalence of periodontal diseases. The higher rates of periodontal diseases were seen in those who had no history of oral health examination in the previous year(p<0.001), had used neither proxabrush nor dental floss(p<0.05), and perceived that their own oral health was poor(p<0.001).

In this study, 110 adults aged 40 to 69 years were surveyed from April 28, 2016, to May 28, 2016 to analyze their periodontal status according to daily stress, coping methods, and oral health behavior. The collected data were analyzed using the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and hierarchical multiple regression. Daily stress levels of all subjects were most frequent potential risk 64.5% of the subjects, the high risk 19.1% and 16.4% of the health group. Regarding stress coping methods, active methods recorded 2.46, passive methods recorded 2.32. Regarding oral health behaviors, subjects brushed an average of 2.45 times daily, for an average of 2 minutes. Futhermore, 69.1% of subjects brushed before bedtime and 89.1% practiced scaling. Regarding periodontal status, the O'Leary index was 73.45, gingivitis index was 1.30, an average of 2.83 quadrants possessed a periodontal pocket. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis identified, type of employment (${\beta}=-0.348$), scaling (${\beta}=-0.253$), and age (${\beta}=0.244$) as factors that influence the number of quadrants possessing a periodontal pocket. These results confirmed that the oral health behavior of scaling, but not stress levels of coping methods, strongly influenced periodontal status.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of body-shape perception and periodontal diseases in female adolescents based on the sixth 3rd-year(2015) data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects in this study were 211 female teenagers who were at the western ages of 12 to 18. As a result of analyzing, it's found that the body-shape perception of the female teens were linked to age, sleep hours, BMI, weight control and toothbrushing frequency, and whether they had periodontal diseases or not was found to be under the influence of age, smoking, sleep hours, stress, BMI and toothbrushing frequency. When the relationship between their body-shape perception and peridontal diseases was analyzed by controlling the confounders, the adolescents who considered their own bodies to be obese suffered from 3.18-fold more periodontal diseases(OR=3.18, 95% CI: 1.21, 8.38) than the teenagers who considered their body shape to be average. In the future, oral health care should be provided in consideration of the mental health of female adolescents to prevent periodontal diseases.

This study selected 2,134 fertile women aged 20 to 44 years as the final study subjects using the 6th source data of the National Health and Nutrition Survey. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between female characteristics, chronic diseases and oral health behavior, and the effects of each factor on periodontal diseases. There were statistically significant differences in age(p<0.001), education level(p<0.001), income(p<0.05), marital status(p<0.001), smokes(p<0.05) and pregnancy(p<0.001). Chronic disease factors showed statistically significant differences in hypertension(p<0.001), obesity(p<0.001), diabetes(p<0.001), hypercholesterolemia(p<0.05), hypocholesterolemia(p<0.001) and hypertriglyceridemia(p<0.001). Oral health behaviors were statistically significant in terms of toothache(p<0.05), orthodontic treatment(p<0.05) and chew discomfort(p<0.05). As a result of examining the risk factors affecting periodontal disease, the risk of chronic disease was 1.576 times higher in the obese group, and 2.569 times higher in the diabetic group than in the normal group. The subjective oral health status was 1.372 times higher for normal women and 1.614 times higher for bad women than for good ones. As a result, diabetes has shown the greatest risk among chronic diseases in women, and diabetes and obesity are highly relevant and therefore are considered important variables for the risk factors of dementia. In this regard, it is necessary to examine the risks of chronic and periodical diseases, expand oral health education programs for women's dental disease, and prepare oral health policies.

Objectives: This study performed a comparative evaluation of the effects of oil pulling on the periodontal health of smokers. Methods: The experimental (15 subjects) and control (15 subjects) were provided coconut oil and distilled water, respectively. We evaluated the pocket depth (≥4 mm), bleeding on exploration, and Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index in both groups following the interventions. Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Dry mouth and oral health-related quality of life were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks. Results: Bleeding on exploring in the control group decreased from 26.17 to 18.33 and from 26.07 to 12.53 in the experimental group (p=0.030), with significant differences in measurement time (p<0.001), and the interaction between group and measurement time (p=0.002). The PHP index in the control group decreased from 24.50 to 16.17 and from 24.00 to 9.83 in the experimental group (p=0.027), with significant differences in measurement time (p<0.001), and the interaction between group and measurement time (p=0.001). Furthermore, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in dry mouth (p<0.001) and a significant increase in oral health-related quality of life (p=0.025). Conclusions: The coconut oil intervention positively affected the periodontal health of smokers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness and knowledge of school organizational members about peridontal diseases, their belief in the diseases, attitude and periodontal health in an effort to provide some information on how to ensure successful oral health education and incremental dental care. The subjects in this study were the selected patients who visited school dental clinics. Their ideas of periodontal diseases and periodontal health were analyzed to determine the influential factors. They got a mean of 2.77 in awareness of the epidemiologic characteristics of periodontal diseases, 2.97 in knowledge on the initial symptoms of gingivitis, 2.90 in awareness of the causes of periodontal diseases, 2.95 in awareness of the prevention and treatment of peridontal diseases, and 3.04 in belief in periodontal diseases and attitude. Thus, they had a good understanding and knowledge of periodontal diseases, and they had the right belief and the right attitude as well. They scored relatively lower in several items of periodontal diseases: awareness of tooth loss caused by aging, awareness of the relationship of food to the prevention and occurrence of periodontal diseases, the relationship between toothbrushing time and gingival health, the right toothbrushing method and the right way of dental care.
