The objective of this research is to compare and analyze regional accessibility of Korean primary school students to oral health services from the perspective of public health geography by using geographic information system in which the choropleth map has been regarded as the most popular method. Statistical proximity on the basis of calculus of 205 regions-based school oral health data is optimized to set five class intervals for five maps. These choropleth maps of oral heal programs such as oral health education, tooth-brushing method education, preventive dental care and curative dental care, demonstrate that there exist wide regional discrepancies throughout the country in terms of primary school students' accessibility to oral health services within the programs. The paper not just contributes to overcoming the existing paradigm by actively considering an interdisciplinary research among public health dentistry, dental hygiene and geography of public health, but provides clear evidence for national oral health policy in South Korea.

본 연구는 TBL에서 학생을 보다 효율적으로 평가하기 위해 학생평가방법에 따른 평가점수 간 관계를 비교하고 그 관대함 정도를 분석하였다. 치위생학과 학생의 구강보건교육학 및 구강보건교육학 실습 교과목에서 학생평가방법에 따른 평가점수 간 관계를 살펴본 결과 지필시험과 팀별평가만 유의미한 중간 정도의 정적 상관관계가 나타났고, 그 외의 관계는 모두 유의하지 않았다. 학생평가방법에 따른 평가점수 간 관대함 정도는 팀원평가, 지필시험, 팀별평가 순으로 관대한 것으로 나타났다.

Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 212 college students in Chungnam province from October to December, 2013. The questionnaire consisted of oral health condition. The bite force of the first molar teeth was measured. Results : Males showed the greater bite force than females(p<0.001). Those who had temporomandibular joint(TMJ) disorder suffered from mouth opening difficulty and weaker bite force than those who had not(p<0.05). Those who had malocclusion showed weaker bite force (p<0.01). Those who had a habit of chewing gums tended to have greater bite force than those who had not(p<0.05). The bite force was correlated with height(r=0.309), weight(r=0.345), and BMI(r=0.249)(p<0.01). Conclusions : Males showed greater bite force than females. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, subjective malocclusion, and eating habit also affected the bite force.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between oral symptoms and changes in daily life after coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in middle and high school students. Methods: Data were obtained from the 17th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (2021). The subjects comprised 53,868 people who responded to survey questions related to this study. Multiple logistic regression analysis with complex samples was performed to identify the correlation between daily life changes and oral symptoms. Results: The analysis showed that compared to the group without changes in daily life after COVID-19, changes in daily life, such as skipping breakfast, drinking, and smoking, either decreased or increased. Furthermore, increase in depression and decreased physical activity and family economic status were related to oral symptoms. Conclusions: It is necessary to develop oral health programs for adolescents suitable for changing situations after COVID-19.
