본 연구는 근로자들의 구강보건 지식, 태도, 행위와 구강 자각증상 및 구강건강관련 삶의 질(OHIP-14)을 조사하고 구강건강관련 삶의 질 향상에 영향을 미치는 요인과 영향관계를 파악함으로써, 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 서울, 경기, 인천지역에서 근무하는 근로자 398명을 대상으로 2013년 3월 26일부터 4월 30일까지 자기기입식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구강보건지식, 태도, 행위 및 구강자각증상이 구강건강관련 삶의 질의 수준에 미치는 영향력과 이들 변수의 영향관계를 분석하기 위하여 경로분석을 실시한 결과 OHIP-14에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강자각증상이었고, 구강보건행위는 간접효과가 있었다. 구강자각증상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건행위였고, 구강보건지식과 태도는 간접적인 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구강보건행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강보건지식 및 태도였고, 구강보건지식은 태도에 영향을 미쳤다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 근로자의 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 방안을 마련해야 하며, 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 대해 간접효과가 확인된 구강보건행위를 향상시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 근로자의 구강자각증상을 줄이기 위한 구강검진 및 진료사업과 구강보건행위 향상을 위한 구강보건교육사업이 포함된 근로자 구강건강증진사업을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

Background: Dental caries in preschool children can cause early loss of teeth, reduced masticatory function, malocclusion, and speech disorders, making oral care for preschool children essential. However, because children have a poor ability to perform oral hygiene by themselves, educational tools that help establish correct oral health behaviors are required. This study evaluated the effect of toothbrushing application for kids on dental plaque removal and toothbrushing interest in preschool children. Methods: Seven 5-year-old children enrolled in a daycare center participated in the evaluation, and the same children participated in the experiment twice a week. The Pokémon Smile application (App) was used as an auxiliary application for tooth brushing, and the degree of dental plaque removal on the tooth surface was evaluated by quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital imaging. After the experiment, children's toothbrushing preferences were investigated through interviews. Results: The levels of AREA R30 and AREA R70 measured after the children's toothbrushing as usual decreased compared to those before toothbrushing; however, the change was not significant. The levels of AREA R30 and AREA R70 measured after using the Pokémon Smile App were significantly reduced compared to those before toothbrushing. Children's interest in brushing their teeth increased by 28.59% after using the Pokémon Smile App. Conclusion: The toothbrushing application for kids effectively removes dental plaque by helping preschool children brush their teeth. It also increased preschool children's interest in tooth brushing. Therefore, an oral health education application would be useful for children who need to develop correct oral care methods and habits.

The purpose of this study examines the education, knowledge and behavior of radiation safety management among dental workers and compares the education, knowledge and behavior between dental hygienist group and other occupational groups. This study was conducted from November 2nd to November14th, 2019. The survey was conducted on dental workers(dental hygienists, nursing, assistants, coordinators, etc.) who worked in dental hospitals and clinics in Busan area. The tool of this study was modified and adapted to the clinical setting based on the questionnaire. Radiation safety education has 39 dental hygienists who had more education than non-dental hygienists (p=0.286). The most common types of radiation safety education were self-education which usually performed by dentistry, followed by conservative education and others. The average of radiation attitudes, knowledge and behaviors was higher in the dental hygienist group then in the non-dental hygienist group. On the item-specific behavior among employees, the question of 'the radiation should be shielded according to the menstrual cycle or pregnancy of the woman of childbearing' was significant (p<0.05). On the item-specific knowledge between occupations, the question of 'the intensity of X-rays decreases over distance' and 'the individual exposure can be measured by TLD badge or film badge' was significant (p<0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that the dental hygienist group is more concerned about radiation safety and that the dental hygienist group is receiving more radiation safety management training. However, if there is a low level of 'has experienced' in the presence or absence of safety management education, it is difficult to train radiation safety management in dentistry. Therefore, it is considered that dentists should be trained in radiation safety management periodically to pay attention to radiation safety accidents.

본 연구는 지역사회 노인들의 구강보건행동과 구강건강상태를 알아보고 그에 대한 관련성을 검토하고자 하였다. 조사대상은 충청남도 공주시 6개면에 거주하고 있는 65세 이상 노인들 중 2005년 1월 1일부터 2월 28일까지 2개월 동안 보건소 및 보건지소에서 치과검진을 받은 206명(남자 100명, 여자 106명)으로 하였다. 조사는 구강보건행동과 잇몸출혈 자각증상에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였고, 치과의사에 의해 구강검사를 실시하였으며, 구강보건행동에 따른 구강건강상태에 대한 지표(우식치, 처치치, 상실치, DMFT 및 CPITN)를 검토하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 전체 조사대상자들의 구강보건행동을 보면 "년 1회 이상 치과진료를 받는다"는 군이 24.3%, "주 1회 이상 구강 내 관찰을 한다"는 군이 20.4%, "1일 3회 이상 잇솔질을 한다"는 군이 15.5%, "3분 이상 잇솔질을 한다"는 군이 24.3%, "주당 2~3회 이상 보조용품을 사용한다"는 군이 7.8%, 비흡연군이 68.9%, 감미음료 및 감미식품을 "섭취하지 않는다"는 군이 23.3% 이었다. 2. 전체 조사대상자들의 구강건강상태를 보면 잇몸출혈의 경우 "항상 있다" 8.7%, "가끔 있다" 28.2%, "거의 없다" 32.0%, "없다" 31.1%의 비율이었다. 우식치는 평균 1.2개 이었으며, 처치치는 9.9개, 상실치는 7.4개, DMFT는 18.4개, CPITN은 2.4이었다. 3. 구강보건행동별 구강건강상태를 보면, 년 1회 이상의 치과진료를 받지 않은 군은 받은 군보다 상실치(p=0.002), DMFT(p=0.002) 및 CPITN(p=0.018)이 유의하게 많았고, 주 1회 이상 구강 내 관찰을 하지 않는 군은 하는 군에 비해 처치치는 유의하게 적은 반면(p=0.002), 상실치(p=0.000)와 CPITN(p=0.000)은 유의하게 많았다. 잇솔질 횟수별로는 "1일 3회 미만 군"이 "1일 3회 이상 군" 보다 우식치(p=0.000), 상실치(p=0.000), DMFT(p=0.000) 및 CPITN(p=0.000)이 유의하게 많았고, 잇솔질 시간별로는 "3분 미만군"이 "3분 이상 군" 보다 상실치(p=0.002)와 DMFT(p=0.041)가 유의하게 많은 반면, 처치치는 유의하게 적었다(p=0.036). 보조용품 사용여부별로는 "사용하는 군"보다 "사용하지 않는 군"에서 DMFT(p=0.041) 및 CPITN(p=0.018)이 유의하게 많았고, 흡연습관 별로는 흡연군이 비흡연군보다 우식치(p=0.035) 와 CPITN (p=0.001)이 유의하게 많았다. 4. 다변량 회귀분석 결과 우식치수에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 잇솔질 횟수, 성별 및 구강 내 관찰이 유의한 변수로 선정되었고(설명력 14.2%), 처치치수에는 성별, 구강 내 관찰, 보조용품사용, 잇솔질 횟수, 주관적 건강상태 및 감미음료섭취 여부(설명력 18.2%)가, 상실치수에는 잇솔질 횟수와 연령(설명력 13.9%)이, DMFT에는 잇솔질횟수, 성별, 치과진료여부, 연령(설명력 13.5%)이, CPITN에는 흡연여부, 치과진료여부, 보조용품사용여부(설명력 10.8%)가 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때 노인들의 구강보건행동은 매우 저조한 상태로 보이며, 따라서 구강건강상태도 양호하지 못한 것임을 시사한다. 또한 구강건강상태는 여러 구강보건행동 요인에 따라 영향을 받게 됨으로 구강보건행동에 대한 홍보 및 교육이 필요하다고 본다.
