Objectives: This study was conducted to help reduce the anxiety about dental radiation exposures of people and to provide a way to instill proper awareness of dental radiation. Methods: To fulfill the research aim, this study conducted a survey to 330 subjects who are 20 years old or over living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do during the month of December 2016. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis among others. Results: As a result of examining the correlation between the anxiety of dental radiography and the correlations between the variables showed that the knowledge of radiation knowledge and the need for radiography (r=0.186, p<0.01), thinking about shooting (r=0.137, p<0.05), and the effectiveness of wearing protective equipment (r=0.120, p<0.01), showing statistically significant differences. As a result of examining the factors influencing anxiety of dental radiography among adults, high awareness of the need for dental radiography (p<0.01), the more the idea of dental anxiety in dental radiography is radiography showed higher (p<0.01). Conclusions: It seems proper that adequate dental radiography requires adequate explanation about it to patients, wearing of protective equipment, and appropriate dental radiation safety education.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine what teaching behavior would have a good effect on learners in lecture-style instruction in the department of dental hygiene. Methods : The subjects in this study were 650 students who were in the three-year department of dental hygiene at four colleges in Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province. After a survey was conducted, frequency analysis and ANOVA were utilized to analyze the collected data. The findings of the study were as follows. Results : The students put the highest value on knowledge among the factors of teaching behavior irrespective of their academic year, academic standing and learning style, followed by skills and attitude. Out of every subfactor, they set the highest value on a sense of humor regardless of their academic year, academic standing and learning style, and put the lowest value on the attitude factor such as enthusiasm. There were differences among the students in evaluation of the factors of teaching behavior according to academic year, and the students whose academic year was higher set a higher value on the factors of teaching behavior. There were no differences according to their academic standing and learning style. Conclusions : The dental hygiene students viewed the knowledge factor as the effective factor of teaching behavior, and regarded a sense of humor as the best subfactor. Although the attitude factor like enthusiasm is important, it seemed that the students hoped for the kind of instruction that would be delightful, intriguing and clearly convey what to learn.

Objectives: This study aimed to verify the degree of clinical practice transition shock, resilience, and academic burnout of dental hygiene students, and analyze factors affecting academic burnout. Methods: From September 1 to September 20, 2022, this study collected data from 201 dental hygiene students who experienced clinical practice, and subsequently conducted a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS Statistics 22. Results: The transition shock and resilience showed a significantly negative correlation (r=-0.211), transition shock and academic burnout showed a significantly positive correlation (r=0.484), and resilience and academic burnout showed a significantly negative correlation (r=-0.568). Regarding factors affecting academic burnout, academic burnout increased when the transition shock was greater (β=0.263, p<0.001), major satisfaction after clinical practice was lower (β=0.180, p<0.05), and the average grades were lower (β=0.169, p<0.01). Academic burnout decreased when resilience was greater (β=-0.435, p<0.001). Conclusions: To prevent clinical practice transition shock and academic burnout, and to increase the resilience of dental hygiene students, it would be necessary to establish learning strategies, change the educational environment, and establish a systematic clinical practice management program.

Objectives: This study is to assess the correlation of the changes in dental health-related quality of life before, during, and after orthodontic treatments in the patients. Methods: The self-administered survey was conducted in the patients who completed orthodontic treatments living in Seoul and metropolitan areas using Oral Impact on Daily Performances (OIDP) to identify the relevant factors. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics of variables, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results: From observations of OIDP before, during, and after orthodontic treatment, discomfort associated with three factors including physical, psychological and social ones showed the statistically significant increases during orthodontic treatment than before the treatment; whereas, it was dramatically dropped afterward. Multiple regression analysis to find the influential factors of satisfaction level on orthodontic treatment by setting before, during, and after OIDP as independent variables and satisfaction on orthodontic treatment as a dependent variable revealed that OIDP before orthodontic treatment and after orthodontic treatment significantly affected satisfaction on orthodontic treatment. Conclusions: The above analysis on the change in patients' dental health-related quality of life showed that the quality of life improved after the orthodontic treatment. Accordingly, patients' quality of life and satisfaction level on orthodontic treatment are expected to improve if they strive to maintain healthy dental health through orthodontic treatment.

본 연구는 치과위생사의 치위생사정의 수행 실태를 조사하고, 치과의료기관 유형에 따른 수행 비율을 파악하기 위하여 수행하였다. 수도권 임상치과위생사 195명을 대상으로 설문조사를 시행하였고, 수행실태를 조사한 치위생사정 항목은 치과병력 채득, 의과병력 채득, 생징후 측정, 구외 검사, 구내 검사, 치주조직 검사로 총 6가지였다. 연구 결과 수행 비율이 가장 높은 항목은 치과병력 채득 92.8%였고, 가장 낮은 항목은 구외 검사 57.9% 였다. 치과 유형에 따른 치위생사정 수행률을 비교하면, 모든 항목에서 치과의원이 치과병원과 대학병원에 비해 높았으며 특히 구내검사와 구외검사 수행률이 치과의원에서 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 전반적으로 높은 치위생사정 수행률을 볼 때, 임상 실태를 반영하지 못하는 치과위생사의 법적업무에 대한 논의와 일부 치위생사정 항목에 대한 보험수가 반영이 필요할 것이다.

수돗물불소농도조정사업 예정 지역인 인천광역시 사업기획에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 초등학교 아동 어머니들을 대상으로 사업에 대한 인식 및 찬반 의견과 관련요인을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 대상자의 사업 인지율은 31.0%, 사업목적 인지율은 24.5%였고, 찬성 50.3%, 반대 10.4%였으며, 사업 인지율은 거주지역(p<0.001)과 거주기간(p<0.05), 목적 인지율은 거주지역(p=0.01), 찬반율은 거주지역(p=0.001)과 거주기간(p<0.001), 연령(p<0.01) 모두에서 차이를 나타냈다. 2. 치아우식병 예방법 인지 및 시행여부에 따른 찬성율은 치면열구전색 인지군(56.8%)이 비인지군(37.3%)보다, 불소도포 인지군(60.7%)이 비인지군(39.2%)보다 높았다(p<0.001). 3. 수돗물불소농도조정사업 찬성은 거주지역에서 차이를 나타냈고, 사업 인지군이 비인지군에 비해 2.98배, 거주기간 5년 이상 군이 5년 미만 군에 비해 2.49배, 치면열구전색인지군이 비인지군에 비해 1.88배 높았다. 이상의 결과를 통해 지역주민이 사업 필요성을 인지하고 안전성을 신뢰할 수 있도록 전문가 교육과 홍보에 대한 적극적인 지원이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
