  • 본 연구에서는 일반 칫솔과 씹는 칫솔의 치면세균막 제거효과를 비교하고 이를 통해 현재 출시된 씹는 칫솔이 일반 칫솔의 대용품으로 사용할만한 실용성을 갖추고 있는지와 실생활에서의 활용도 여부 등을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상자는 전신 질환이 없으며 잔존치아 16개 이상 존재하는 구강상태가 양호한 20대의 건강한 성인 30명을 대상으로 하였으며, 일반칫솔과 씹는 칫솔 사용 후 치면세균막지수 감소율을 계산하였다. 일반 칫솔과 씹는 칫솔의 사용 전 후 치면세균막 감소효과를 비교한 결과, 일반 칫솔의 경우 PHP index는 7.02에서 1.91로 감소하여 치면세균막이 72.79% 감소한 결과를 나타내었으며, 씹는 칫솔은 6.72에서 4.08로 감소하여 치면세균막이 39.29% 감소한 결과를 나타내었다. 현재 국내에서는 다양한 구강관리용품이 출시되어 판매되고 있으며 일반인들의 올바른 구강관리용품 선택을 위하여 구강관리용품에 대한 다양한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objectives: In this study, both subjective and objective levels of oral health were used to identify the relationship between oral health inequalities. Methods: Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey data from 2013 to 2015 were combined to create an analysis plan. Oral health questions categorized as subjective oral health conditions and oral health-related diseases used dental tissue disease status as data measured by the Community Periodical Index(CPI) and decayed, missing, filled teeth(DMFT) experience. Other data on oral health behaviors such as toothache experience, the frequency of toothbrush use, chewing problems, oral examination status, and unmet dental care needs were classified and analyzed according to the socioeconomic level. Data were analyzed using frequency and cross analyses, and the statistical significance level was set at 0.05. Results: It was found that higher the economic and educational level, better was the subjective oral health, lower the CPI, lower the experience of toothache, higher the frequency of toothbrush use, lower the number of people having chewing problems, and higher the frequency of oral checkups. Conclusions: Oral health inequality exists among social classes. It is suggested that continuous research and efforts be carried out to promote oral health while considering socioeconomic and educational levels. Further, active government efforts will be needed to address polarization by social class.

  • 본 연구는 국민 건강 정도를 대표할 수 있는 제7기 국민건강영양조사(2016~2018) 자료를 이용하여 암 생존자들의 일반적 특성, 구강건강 및 구강행태를 조사하였다. 데이터 분석은 SPSS Statistics Ver. 26.0 데이터 분석을 위해 Chi-squared test를 시행하였다. 암 생존자들의 주관적인 구강건강 상태는 조사대상자 대부분이 보통 이하라고 응답하였다. 암 생존자의 연령이 증가할수록 치아우식증 및 치주질환 유병률이 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 교육 및 경제 수준이 낮을수록 주관적인 구강건강상태가 나쁜 것으로 인식하고(p<0.05), 저작장애(p<0.001), 언어장애(p<0.01), 칫솔사용 빈도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 암 생존자들의 거주지 및 사회경제적 수준을 고려하여 건강한 삶을 영위하기 위한 구강보건 교육프로그램을 개발하고 활용할 수 있도록 동기부여가 필요하다고 생각한다.

As to scaling experience and gingival bleeding, the dental hygiene students had more scaling experiences(p<0.001), and the other majors who underwent gingival bleeding from time to time outnumbered the dental hygiene students who did(p<0.01). 4. In relation to subjective oral health status, the dental hygiene students found themselves to be in better oral health than the other majors(p<0.001), and the latter had more parts of the mouth in which they didn't feel well than the former(p<0.01). The dental hygiene students were more concerned about their oral health(p<0.001) and felt more uncomfortable in chewing(p<0.05). The other majors felt more uncomfortable in pronunciation(p<0.01). Conclusions : The results of this study indicated that dental hygiene students strongly recognized the importance of knowledge, motivation, and self-care behaviors, and attitudes towards oral health and dental care compared to other college students. It suggested that regular educational programs for the college student population should be implemented to increase their concern for oral and dental issues and to improve their oral and dental health status.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the state of the dental health of adults, used self-reporting qestionnaire as objects of 923 residents living in nine districts at random among the sites of eleven town located in a County. The level of knowledge on dental health of adults in a County was 65.6 points out of 100 points, comparatively low. Accodingly, it is necessary for entire adults to have a dental health-related education and get high standard of knowledge. Especially, educational approach should be performed for groups of 40-49 years old, 50-59 years old, above 60 years old, male, no educational background, having only elementary and middle school education, not having any jobs, engaging in agriculture, doing business on their own and so on. When planning the contents of health education, one actually has to include the habit of amalgam, the factor in influencing on dental health as well as show an example such as how to brush teeth, checking point of proper brushing, how to grip toothbrush. The attitude score related to dental heath was 71.2 points out of 100 points, relatively low. Consequently, the change of attitude related the dental health among entire adults is necessary, particularily, the strategical approach is essential to change dental health connected to attitude positively for groups of male, having high school education background, office workers and the civil service. Besides, among dental health related symtoms, more that 30-40% of objects showed negative attitude toward as the following cases; in case that plaque or food debris are attached to the teeth (40.8%), upper and lower teeth do not fit together(40.3%), you cannot sleep well because of toothache(31.0%), more than one tooth fall out(31.0%), you have loosing teeth(30.6%), the approach should be conducted to form attitude that dental care is necessry. The state of dental health through dental health related symtoms was 33.3 points out of 100 points, which was fairly satisfactory. However, dental treatment for the state of dental health should be executed in case of comparison of the dental health state according to general characteristics, the group who are above 60 years old, have elementary school education background, engage in aggriculture who are not good in dental health state as opposed to other groups. Furthermore, there should be dental care needs according to dental health related symtoms, particularly, more than 60-70% of objects have experienced symtoms that plaque or food debris attached to the teeth, tartar is on the teeth so dental treatment should be peformed for a large number of adults. In addition, for the people who have indications that there was a cavity, more than one tooth loss, chilled teeth, toothache when chewing, loose teeth, upper and lower teeth do not fit together, you cannnt sleep well due to the toothach, etc, there should be care through dental treatment. The actual conditions of the hygine of the mouth was relatively good and the difference of the actual state of dental health care in terms of general characteristics showed in only gender; female was more careful in dental health. Comparing the state of oral health synthetically, when they have symtoms, only 34.8% of objects go to a dentist, 60.7% are using passive or negative care such as gargling, tolerating or ignoring. There was many symtoms to care through dental therapy such as plaque or food debris get in between the teeth, tartar on the teeth, teeth are very cold, more than one tooth fallout, loose teeth, there is wrong amalgam, and so on, among symtoms to care passively or negatively. Therefore the education for proper treatment program should be performed. As a result of dental health-related knowlege, attitude, health state, verification of correlation between the actual condition of care, the higher the dental heath-related knowldege becomes, the more positive the dental health-related attitude is, and the state of dental health, that is, the standard of the symtom of dental health diminishes. the care for dental health executed through more active method and the more positive dental health-related attitude is, the more active means they performed. Consequently, the high level of dental health-related knowledge should be necessary, the more positive the dental health-related attitude was, the more active method they adopted, therefore, the program is needed to form attitude related to the dental health positively. As the knowledge on dental health is increasing, the attitude is also positive, after all, the plan to increase the standard of knowledge on dental health should be contrived through education program related to dental health.
