Purpose: This is to provide fundamental resources for the improvement in the department of dental technology curriculum which will ensure effective preparation for the license examination for dental technicians as well as improvement in the students practical skills. Methods: Research analysis was conducted regarding the 2020 academic curriculum table of the department of dental technology established in 19 universities nationwide, from 5th of October 2020 to 30th of November 2020. Results: Research of the ratio of the establishment credit of the 3-year-course major in department of dental technology to the establishment credits of the license examination subjects showed, second semester of the first year (p<0.05), by academic discipline the whole first year (p<0.05) and second semester of first year, to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Hence, it can be concluded that there is a need for the management of a curriculum with distribution of adequate subjects according to academic year and semester, in order to satisfy not only the preparation for the license examination for dental technicians, but also students' academic desires.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the improvement measures of dental technician practical examinations. Methods: A survey was performed on 37 professors through a questionnaire. The results were analyzed by SPSS 12.0. The collected data was analyzed by frequency and the chi-square test. Results: The education compared to the satisfaction of practice examinations only differs in the method of enforcement(p<.05). The evaluations on the ability to perform the job with practical subjects were inadequate (37.8%). Questions with the most necessary work tools through the articulator was highest at 48.7%, Electric wax carver was 32.4%, and heating clear was 3.5%. Conclusion: There must be an improvement to increase the cooperation within the clinical department, while considering the practical exam environment.

This study was conducted in order to promote students' interest in overseas employment and to present methods of improving education that suits globalization and internalization. From responses to individual written survey questionnaires answered by 439 students who are studying Dental technology at colleges in Kyung-ki and Chung-cheong. The following are the results regarding their satisfaction levels with their majors and their interest in working abroad: 1. Regarding the motivating factors to major in Dental technology, students(37.7%), particularly most juniors(43.5%), have chosen this major to get a this professional job. The most common source of information in choosing majors is the Internet(44.4%). There was a slight difference in their knowledge about the major before college among freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. 2. Most students do not want to change their majors even if they are provided with the chance to do so(69.2%). They are in general satisfied with their studies. The result shows that the Dental technology majors are positive toward their major. 3. Many students have heard about overseas employment, particularly in case of juniors(98.5%), and there was a difference among different years of studies. They want to work abroad if they are given the chances(79.3%), which indicates that the Dental Technology majors have much interest and positive attitude in overseas employment. 4. The most significant barrier to their overseas employment is the language, and thus the Dental technology majors should improve their language abilities to be more involved in working abroad.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of mechanical properties of various ultra-dental stone by setting methods. Methods: 240 cylinder specimens($10mm{\times}20mm$) were prepared from three ultra-dental stones(Gemma, Die keen and Fuji rock; n = 80) in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. Half of the specimens of each stone(n = 40) were dried in open air within a room temperature; the other half(n = 40) underwent in a silicone rubber mold in open air for 30 minutes and then were dried in a microwave oven for 10 minutes to 600W. Compressive strength(CS), compressive modulus(CM) and diametral tensile strength(DTS) conducted until fracture using Instron 5966 at each of the following periods: 1 and 24 hours from mixing. One-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's post hoc test were performed for statistical comparisons at a significance level of P<.05. Results: The CS and CM values in all dental stone indicated highest after 24h(54.25 MPa < ) than the values for specimens dried in microwave method. The DTS values revealed the highest microwave method. However, in 24h, FJ(Fu-ji rock) and GM(Gemma) had lower mechanical properties than air. Conclusion : Within the limitations of this study, CS did not influence by microwave method but DTS affected according to the setting.

The new medical technology assessment system has a basic goal of protecting the public's health rights and promoting the development of the new medical technology with safe and effective medical technology that has been scientifically proven. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the activation of the new medical technology evaluation system by analyzing the application cases of the dental field after the implementation of the new medical technology evaluation system and proposing an efficient approach to approach the new medical technology evaluation system. The number of related literature and medical technology evaluation results are not significant in dental applications, the number of cases and the length of follow-up period of the relevant medical technology adopted as the new medical technology was far higher. As the speed of medical technology development increases, medical technology is expected to develop in the dental field as well. To introduce the medical technology to the clinical site, access to the correct direction of evidence is required to collect and objectify data at the medical site in order to prepare a literary basis for the medical technology.

This study is for the purpose of studying the validity of the construction of items and grading of the evaluation table at clinical practice used as the method of evaluation when clinical practice of Dept. of Dental Technology. 205 dental technicians in 4 cities were questioned to analyze the relation between items of the evaluation table at clinical practice and its grading. The collected materials were inspected by SAS V8 for Windows. The results are as follows: 1. Making up all the items and grading seem to be appropriate because they had the marks more than midium(more than 3.28). 2. Making up detailed items and grading seem to be trusted because they had the marks more than 3.30. 3.The significance level of the relation between items of the evaluation at clinical practice and its grading by t-inspection is p<0.0001 and so it appears to be meaningful. 4. It proved to be meaningful in result of regression analysis of the influence on the construction of the evaluation at clinical practice and its grading. With this result, further study is needed for the better methods of the evaluation in its adjustment and graduated grading among the items.

Purpose: This study aims to provide basic data for developing and improving a nationwide curriculum for advanced courses in dental technology departments. Methods: For the study, the 2021 academic curricula for all six universities with operating departments for advanced study of dental technology were investigated from November 18 to December 10, 2021. If a curriculum was not available for analysis on the university's website, it was obtained via e-mail or phone and then analyzed. Results: The curricula offered advanced courses in a range of 7~14 subjects, with an average of 9.7 subjects. The total number of credits ranged 20~33, and the average for all universities was 25.2. Among the total subjects opened, digital-related subjects comprised the largest proportion at 26.2%, followed by other major-related subjects (e.g., dental techniques, occlusion, and implants) and other liberal arts subjects. Conclusion: The study revealed that the curricula for bachelor's-level dental technology course at universities adequately reflect the industry demand. In the future, university leaders must maintain ongoing collaboration and consultation with industry experts with regard to school curricula for analyzing the education demand and industry prospects, including careers.
