The smallest number of the women(6.8%) spent three minutes or more brushing their teeth. 2. As to dental treatment experience during pregnancy by age, 27.0 percent of the age 26-30 group had ever received dental treatment during pregnancy, which was higher than the rates of the other age groups with the same experience. 3. Regarding the necessity of oral health education geared toward pregnant women, 94.1 percent of the age 26-30 group and 96.3 percent of the group of age 31 and up felt the need for that, which were significantly higher than 72.7 percent of the age 20-25 group who agreed to the necessity of that education. 4.

Children need oral care according to their developmental stage and accordingly, the appropriate dental treatment is different, which requires parents to have an active attitude and the applicable oral knowledge. As there is so much unreliable oral care information and PR, it is hard to find accurate information and parents are in need of a preventative oral healthcare mobile application for healthy oral care. Also, pediatric adolescent care should be focused on prevention rather than treatment and children should be instructed and educated to eat cariogenic foods as little as possible as well as told to brush before going to bed. This study designed a smart application for oral health care education to provide information and knowledge regarding oral health care for infants, oral health education, and oral health care prevention for parents of young children.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the awareness-perception factors and oral health promotion behavior of dental hygiene and nonhealth-related students in an effort to find out factors affecting their oral health promotion behavior. Methods : The subjects in this study were students in the three-year-course dental hygiene and students in the two-year-course nonhealth-related department in G college located in the city of Gwangju. After a survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed and compared. Results : 1. The dental hygiene students were statistically significantly ahead of the nonhealth-related students in perceived oral health knowledge(p<0.001), awareness of the importance of oral health(p<0.001), perceived oral health status(p<0.001) and oral health interest(p<0.001). 2. Concerning the characteristics of oral health promotion behavior, the dental hygiene students were statistically significantly better at toothbrushing(p<0.001) and the use of dental floss(p<0.001) than the nonhealth-related students. 3. Regarding factors affecting oral health promotion behavior, oral health knowledge and oral health interest were identified as the factors that impacted on oral health promotion behavior. Out of the two, oral health interest exercised a greater influence on that. Conclusions : It seems that oral health education could motivate students to be concerned about their oral health, to acquire knowledge on that and eventually to change their oral health behavior and attitude. As for college students, oral health education provides a final chance for them to check their oral health knowledge, attitude and oral health promotion behavior before they start to work as full-fledged adults, and institutional measures should be taken to offer more intensive official oral health education.

본 연구는 현재 군인들의 구강보건행태와 구강건강 삶의 질에 대한 관련성을 파악하고, 군인들을 대상으로 한 구강보건 교육을 실시함에 있어 근거 및 기초자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 총 400명의 서울 경기 지역의 군인을 대상으로 조사하여 361명의 수집된 데이터를 SPSS 19.0으로 통계 분석하였다. 그 결과, 군인들은 주관적 구강건강 상태는 보통이라고 느꼈으며, 구강보건 행동의 실천률은 높지 않았다. 주관적 구강건강 상태가 좋지 않다고 한사람은 구강건강관련 삶의 질이 좋지 않았다. 또한 군인들은 구강보건교육이 매우 필요하다고 느꼈으며, 주관적 구강건강 상태와 구강보건교육의 필요성은 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 군인들의 신체적, 정신적, 사회적 건강이 구강건강과 연관되어 있으므로 군인들의 구강보건 교육은 정기적으로 이루어져야 할 것 으로 보이며, 본 연구 결과는 군인들의 구강 보건 교육의 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 노인들의 교육과 소득정도에 따른 구강건강상태 및 관리행태와 치과이용행태를 파악하여, 노인구강건강 증진에 대한 정책과 제도를 마련하기 위한 근거자료를 제시하고자 실시하였다. 자료조사는 2019년 8월 19일부터 2019년 10월 25일까지 대전지역에 거주하는 노인 224명을 대상으로 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 chi-square test와 logistic regression analysis 등으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 구강건강상태 및 관리행태는 틀니사용, 임플란트사용, 구강위생용품사용, 구강보건교육경험, 구강건강관리방법에서 교육과 소득정도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 치과이용행태도 교육과 소득정도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 연령, 교육 정도, 임플란트사용 여부, 치과이용의 주된 이유가 치과이용에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구를 토대로 교육 및 소득정도를 고려한 국가적 차원의 제도적 방안이 마련되어 노인들의 구강건강의 삶의 질이 향상될 수 있기를 기대한다.

본 연구는 반복적이고 지속적인 구강보건교육이 초등학생의 구강보건지식, 태도, 행동에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위해 실시하였으며, 1학년 때부터 3년간 년2회 구강보건교육을 반복적으로 시행한 129명과 구강보건교육을 미시행한 111명을 최종 분석하였다. 구강보건교육실시 유무에 따른 구강보건지식, 구강보건행동 점수에서는 3년간 구강보건교육을 반복적이고 지속적으로 실시한 학교가 실시하지 않은 학교보다 높은 수준을 보여 유의미한 차이를 나타내었고(p<0.01), 구강보건태도는 구강보건교육 실시학교에서 약간 점수가 높았으나 유의한 차이는 없었다. 초등학생의 반복적이고 지속적인 구강보건교육이 구강보건지식과 행동 변화에 많은 영향을 주므로 치위생전문가가 상주하여 지속적인 구강건강관리를 할 수 있다면 그 효과는 더욱 증대될 것이다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of oral hygiene education provided by dental hygienists in patients with dental implants. Methods: Data were obtained from a survey that involved 300 patients who had one or more dental implants. Based on the calculated sample size (n = 274), 300 questionnaires were used for further analyses. Results: The patients who received oral hygiene education had higher levels of satisfaction after dental implant surgery (p<0.05). Patients who had repeated educational sessions, in the form of interactive or hands-on sessions or lectures, with continuous feedback had higher scores for oral hygiene maintenance (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study indicated that patients who received oral hygiene education, in the form of interactive or hands-on sessions or lectures, with continuous post-educational feedback were better at maintaining oral hygiene.
