Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate parents' recognition and attitudes toward national health insurance coverage of sealant by the dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 329 elementary school children parents in G metropolitan city and N city from July 11 to 27, 2015. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, recognition and attitudes toward national health insurance coverage of sealant and sealant by the dental hygienist, and recognition toward national health insurance. The data were analyzed by a descriptive analyses, multiple regression and logistic regression analysis using SPSS 12.0 program. Results: Recognition of national health insurance coverage was 2.52 times higher in high school and 4.97 times higher in recognition toward purpose of sealant. Factor affecting recognition of national health insurance was subscription of private health insurance, recognition of sealant treatment by dental hygienist (DH) and recognition of national health insurance coverage of sealant. Attitude toward sealant treatment by DH was positive in experience of sealant, recognition of sealant treatment by DH and experience of sealant treatment by DH. Factor affecting satisfaction on the sealant by DH was recognition of sealant treatment by DH and recognition of purpose of sealant. Conclusions: To increase national health insurance coverage of sealant, it is necessary to expand positive public relations of sealant by the dental hygienist.

Background: Dental caries prevention is a key research focus in dentistry, requiring advancements in the formulation of dental sealants. This study investigated the physical and antibacterial attributes of dental sealant enriched with phytoncide. Methods: Phytoncide was mixed with a commercially available dental sealant (Clinpro) at concentrations of 0 (control), 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5% by weight (wt%). The flexural strength, curing depth, and wettability of the dental sealant were measured. Antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans were evaluated through the enumeration of colony-forming units. Statistical analyses employed one-way variance analysis followed by Tukey's test (p<0.05). Results: The dental sealant containing 3% phytoncide showed no significant difference in flexural strength and curing depth compared with that in the control group (p>0.05). The flexural strength and curing depth decreased with increasing phytoncide content and significantly differed in sealant containing 4.5 wt% phytoncide (p<0.05). Wettability did not differ between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). The antibacterial properties of the sealant containing 1.5% phytoncide were the same as those of the control group (p>0.05). The bacterial viability was significantly reduced in groups containing 3% and 4.5% phytoncide compared with that in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dental sealants incorporating phytoncide have a promising potential as antibacterial dental materials.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the cumulative dental caries rate of pit and fissure sealant in community public health program from 2005 to 2008 follow-up. Methods: The subjects were 4,768 students of 34 elementary schools in Gimcheon. The survey included direct oral examination and cumulative retention rate of pit and fissure sealant from 2005 to 2008. Data were analyzed using PASW statistical package version 18.0 and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The cumulative retention rate of sealant was 18%, 25%, and 33% after 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. In addition, the cumulative retention rate of lower teeth was higher than that of upper teeth. Cumulative dental caries rate increased in sealed group and no sealed group. The cumulative dental caries rate decreased owing to tooth brushing frequency in sealed group and no sealed group. Conclusions: Regular and timely tooth brushing can maintain good oral health condition after tooth sealing. The school based oral health education can prevent loss of sealant and secondary caries.

Dental caries is the first disease to cause the pathological extraction of teeth in children. The complete prevention of dental caries is not achieved by toothbrushing alone. The use of fluoride and pit and fissure sealant is regarded as key tools to prevent dental caries. Fluoride-containing tablets or multi-vitamins and community water fluoridation can be used as systemic application techniques. Professional fluoride application, fluoride iontophoresis on teeth, fluoride mouth rinsing and fluoride-containing toothpaste can be used as local application techniques. Pit and fissure sealant is mainly used to prevent dental caries on occlusal surfaces of premolars and molars. Sweeteners not to occur dental caries has been developed to substitute sucrose. Dental erosion increases according to the high consumption of acidic soft drink or beverages. The appropriate use of fluoride and pit and fissure sealant are recommended to prevent dental caries effectively and the education is required to reduce the consumption of acidic soft drinks or beverages to decrease dental erosion.

본 연구에서는 공중구강보건사업으로서 효율적인 치면열구전색사업을 개발하는데 필요한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 인천광역시 동구보건소에서 공립초등학교 1학년을 대상으로 광중합법으로 치면열구전색을 실시한 후 보호자를 통해 치면열구전색사업의 호응도 및 인식여부를 설문조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 보호자의 치면열구전색 인지율은 84.7%이었으며, 치과의원(35.7%)이나 학교(31.6%)를 통하여 정보를 얻은 경우가 많았다. 2. 치면열구전색을 실시한 후 대다수가 만족하였고(86.2%), 치면열구전색 실시 후 많은 보호자가 유지상태를 살펴보았으며(75.8%), 치면열구전색 실시 후 75.6%가 재검사를 희망하고 있었다. 3. 치면열구전색의 수용과 관련이 있는 요인은 치면열구전색 인지유무와 치과방문경험, 자녀의 치아건강에 대한 부모의 관심도가 높을수록 치면열구전색실시율이 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때 인천광역시 동구보건소의 치면열구전색사업은 만족도가 높은 것으로 조사되었으며 치면열구전색에 대한 다양한 홍보를 통해 많은 지역주민들에게 치면열구전색사업이 활발하게 전개되어야 할 것으로 생각되었다.

본 연구는 치면열구전색 하방의 우식이 이차우식에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 DIAGNOdent를 이용하여 소구치 및 대구치 교합면 446부위를 4개의 군으로 분류하였고 상방에 치면열구전색을 시행한 뒤 이차우식을 유발시켜 DIAGNO dent로 재측정하였다. 또한 치과 업무 관련 종사자들을 대상으로 치면열구전색에 대한 인식도 및 실태를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 시진 및 탐침 시 법랑질우식군에서 치면열구전색 후 이차우식이 가장 높게 나타났으며 초기우식군, 착색군, 건전부위군 순으로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 치면열구전색 전 치아우식증 진단 방법으로는 시진이 가장 높은 비율로 나타났다. 레이저 우식진단기에 대해 56.6%가 모르는 것으로 나타났으며, 91.6%가 보유하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 치면열구전색 후 이차우식 발생의 원인은 치면열구전색제가 깨져서 하방에 우식이 생긴 경우가 가장 많았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 치면열구전색 하방의 우식이 전색 후 이차우식 유발에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 치면열구전색 후 이차우식을 예방하기 위해서는 열구 내 우식 정도를 정확하게 진단 평가하는 것이 중요하며, 보다 객관적으로 진단할 수 있는 우식 진단기기의 사용에 대한 교육 및 홍보가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

In 2001, as a subject of this study, the first grade 165 kids in Yomju elementary school had been guided in pit and fissure sealant, fluoride rinse, group tooth brushing, and Dental health education as a part of oral disease preventive program. From the data, this author has estimated incremental dental health care program in school dental clinic in order to make it more effective and enlarge it. For that purpose, the program has been continued at six month intervals for two years. The retention condition of pit and fissure sealant in first molar and DMF rate had been investigated. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Full and partial retention of pit and fissure sealant was measured as 80.69% in maxillary right first molar, 83.20% in maxillary left first molar, and 86.72% in mandibular right first molar, and 86.28% in mandibular left first molar. 2. Retention of pit and fissure sealant in first molar was measured as 76.55% in maxillary right first molar, 81.03% in maxillary left first molar, 80.65% in mandibular left first molar, and 82.03% in mandibular right first molar. 3. Among Yomju elementary school students, DMF rate was measured as 8.7%, and DMFT index as 1.03. However, in Yangdong elementary school students the former was measured as 13.8% and the latter as 1.76. When the DMF rate difference between Yomju and Yangdong elementary school kids was considered, the oral health condition of the former was much better than that of the latter because the former had received incremental dental health care program for two years and on the other hand, the latter had not. So it is necessary that we should enlarge school dental clinic, improve and keep students' oral health.

치면열구전색법은 건전한 구치부의 교합면의 좁고 깊은 소와나 열구를 전색 하여 교합면에 발생되는 치아우식증을 예방하기 위한 술식이다. 치면열구전색의 급여화 기준 확대 및 국가구강보건사업 결정에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 본 연구는 국민영양조사 원시자료 제 5기, 6기, 7기 자료를 토대로 만 6~18세 이하 소아청소년을 총 4,366명을 대상으로 치면열구전색 수혜량과 수혜률을 조사하였다. 2012년 치면열구전색 수혜률에서는 나이, 동. 읍면, 월 평균 가구소득에서 차이가 있었고. 일반적 특성이 수혜에 미치는 요인에서는 2014년 월평균 가구소득 2017년 나이, 월평균 가구소득에서 수혜률 차이가 나타났다(P<0.05). 연도별 일반적 특성이 수혜에 미치는 요인에서 2012년에서 동. 읍면, 월 평균 가구소득 2014년은 월 평균 가구소득, 2017년은 나이와 월 평균 가구소득이 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 치아우식증에 효과적인 치면열구전색의 수혜량과 수혜률 증가를 위해서는 지속적인 사업의 홍보와, 본인부담금 감소 및 대상 치아 및 연령 확대, 소외지역 및 취약계층에 대한 지원 확대 방안에 대해서 다각적으로 논의해야 할 것으로 요구되어진다.
