In order to develop the programme for the improvement of dental health among primary school children, epidemiological survey to examine dental caries status was conducted among primary school children in Changwon, Korea. We sampled 2 primary schools and surveyed children from first to sixth grade aged 6-11 years. All samples were 3,206 consisted of 1,715 males and 1,491 females. We assessed caries prevalence on permanent teeth. 1. Children with caries experience on permanent teeth were 15.1% at 1st grade, 48.2% at 2nd grade, 73.8% at 3rd grade, 75.6% at 4th grade, 76.8% at 5th grade, 77.4% at 6th grade. 2. Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were 0.31 at 1st grade, 1.16 at 2nd grade, 2.12 at 3rd grade, 2.38 at 4th grade, 2.50 at 5th grade, 2.69 at 6th grade. 3. Decayed teeth among Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were totally 63.4%. Filled teeth among Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were totally 36.6%. 4. Community dental health programmmes including water fluoridation, fluoride mouth rinsing, use of fluoride-containing toothpastes and fissure sealants should be developed to prevent dental caries among school children. 5. School incremental dental care programme should be also developed to prevent and treat children's dental caries by use of dentists and oral hygienists.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate third and forth year dental students' perception towards dental hygienists as professionals. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 602 dental college students in Korea after receiving the informed consent. Except incomplete answers, 217 data were analyzed. The questionnaire consisted of three questions of the general perception towards dental hygienists, four questions of the cooperation relationship to the dental hygienists, four questions of oral health education, five questions of preventive dental health care, five questions of dental treatment cooperation, and five questions of dental health care management. The data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Most of the dental college students viewed the dental hygienists as professionals. However, they did not exactly know the professional job of dental hygienists within the current national medical services system and they often viewed the dental hygienists as a medical assistant. The dental college students thought that the key role of the dental hygienists is the dental assisting. Only a small fraction of the participants recognized oral health promotion, preventive cares, and hospital management as professional roles of dental hygienists. Conclusions : Dental college students' perception towards dental hygienists as professionals needs to be improved. Understanding the job description of dental hygienists clearly is a crucial part of dental students' learning process and future practice.

Background: The program aims to enable the participants to receive oral health care with sustainability and give them the choice and prior autonomy of dental practitioners while enhancing the benefits of sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the necessity, awareness, and satisfaction of the implementation of the registered dentist program for children and adolescents, and to promote the introduction of RDPCA. Methods: The survey targeted adult residents in their 20s or older who live in Seoul, an area that continuously implements the RDPCA system, especially in the cities of Cheonan and Asan Results: 79.7% were the most unaware. However, RDPCA participants were significantly more aware than non-participants. When surveying the desire to participate in RDPCA, 96.6% of the respondents said they would 'participate' in the non-RDPCA participate group. The analysis of the satisfaction level of the RDPCA received by their children indicated that 48.6% expressed their satisfaction, and 47.3% said they were healthy. There was a high percentage of people who said they would recommend RDPCA to others as well as a high rate of those who said they would continue to use RDPCA. Conclusions: The reality is that the awareness and implementation of RDPCA are low. For the development of oral health care programs for all children and adolescents in Korea, and the improvement of the satisfaction level of the dental care system, there should be an active consideration of high-quality programs and.

This study was performed to determine the health and nutritional risk factors associated with hypertension in Koreans over the age of 50 in a high-income class (more than twice as much family income as the 2005 Korean minimum cost of living, 668,540 Won). A total of 505 subjects aged over 50 from the 2005 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were divided into two groups: A hypertension group (HG) (N=151, Systolic Blood Pressure ${\geq}$140 mmHg or Diastolic Blood Pressure ${\geq}$90 mmHg) and normal group (NG) (N=354). Subjects who took hypertension medicines or underwent diet therapy were excluded. In HG, mean daily alcohol intake and the amount of alcohol consumption per one occasion were significantly higher than in NG, respectively. A greater number of hypertension subjects answered that they drank alcohol to reduce stress as compared to normal subjects. HG also took fewer dietary supplements than NG. Mean body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fasting blood sugar level, and 2 hour postprandial blood sugar following a glucose load were significantly higher in HG than in NG, respectively. Also, iron, thiamin, and niacin intakes and the consumption frequency of seaweeds were significantly lower in HG than in NG, respectively. Finally, obesity (BMI ${\geq}$25 $kg/m^2$), abdominal obesity (waist circumference ${\geq}$90 cm for males, ${\geq}$ 80 cm for females), high blood sugar level 2 hours after an oral glucose load (${\geq}$140~200 mg/dl), and hypertriglyceridemia (serum TG ${\geq}$200 mg/dl) were related to a significantly higher risk of hypertension in the subjects (odds ratio: 1.884~3.040). In conclusion, dietary factors such as higher alcohol consumption; lower intakes of iron, thiamin, and niacin; lower consumption frequency of seaweeds; and metabolic syndrome were associated with hypertension in the study subjects.

본 연구는 제5기 3차년도 국민건강영양조사(2012) 자료를 이용하여 한국 성인의 비만과 스트레스가 구강관련 질환에 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 19세 이상 64세 이하 성인 4,627명을 대상으로 SPSS Windows ver. 18.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 비만도는 남자인 경우, 40~64세의 연령집단이, 교육수준과 소득수준은 낮을수록 유의하게 높게 나타났으며(p<0.05), 스트레스는 여자인 경우, 19~39세의 연령집단이, 교육수준은 높을수록 스트레스가 있는 비율이 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 비만도에 따른 구강관련 질환 관련성은 BMI 분류에 있어 비만인 경우 치주질환과 악관절 증상이 정상보다 약간은 높았으나 통계적으로 차이는 보이지 않았고(p>0.05), WHR 분류에서는 복부비만인 경우 치주질환이 있는 경우가 약간은 높았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 스트레스에 따른 구강관련 질환 관련성에서 악관절 증상과는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으나(p<0.05), 치주질환, 저작문제와는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 스트레스가 있는 대상자들이 비만이거나 복부비만인 경우에는 치주질환이 정상보다 약간 높았으나 유의하지 않았고 다른 구강질환과도 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 각 변수들 간의 상관관계는 비만일수록 복부비만일 가능성이 높고, 스트레스를 받는 경우 악관절 증상이 나타나며, 저작문제가 있는 경우 치주질환과 악관절 증상이 나타났다(p<0.05). 일반적 특성, 비만도, 스트레스가 구강관련 질환에 미치는 영향은 악관절 증상은 연령이, 저작 문제는 연령과 복부비만이 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다(p<0.05). 현대사회에서는 개인과 개인을 둘러싼 환경이 복잡하고, 삶의 질까지 포함하는 건강의 개념은 과거보다 더 복합적인 의미를 가진다. 다양한 요인들이 비만과 스트레스에 영향을 미치고 있고 이들이 구강건강과 행동에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 비만과 스트레스를 감소시키려는 노력뿐만 아니라 구강건강을 개선하기 위한 다른 관점으로의 접근도 필요하리라 생각된다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the differences in the importance of oral pathology learning objectives for instructors and clinical dental hygienists and provide basic data that can guide learning objectives for acquiring practically necessary basic knowledge in the clinical field. Methods: Through the first-stage expert meeting, 27 items with less than four points out of 129 learning objectives in 15 detailed areas were deleted, 12 additional opinions were reflected, 114 learning objectives were set, and a survey was conducted with 253 people. Results: There were statistically significant differences in 92 items after examining the difference between professors and clinical dental hygienists. Among the areas of inflammation and repair, "Can explain the five symptoms of inflammation" had the highest with a score at 4.76 in the case of the professors. Among the areas of tooth damage, "Can explain abrasion" had the highest with a score at 4.61 in the case of the clinical dental hygienists. Conclusion: I would like to propose the existing 15 detail areas and 129 learning objectives as 14 detail areas and 98 learning objectives and strengthen the job competency of dental hygienists in the future. First, you need to develop competencies that are highly relevant to your work. Second, it is necessary to develop related textbooks and educational materials based on revised learning objectives and competencies. Third, based on revised learning objectives, the dental hygienist national examination should be improved. Through these changes in education, the education of oral and maxillofacial disease subjects should strengthen job competencies among dental hygienists with learning objectives that can be applied to actual clinical practice based on basic knowledge rather than knowledge orientation. In addition, it is possible to improve the quality of dental hygiene studies.

Objectives: The water fluoridation program has been implemented since 2008, in a region of Geoje City. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the water fluoridation program on caries prevention in the permanent dentition. Methods: Evaluation surveys were conducted on 8-, 10- and 12-year-old children in the fluoridated and non-fluoridated regions of Geoje City, in 2015. The survey included 834 children from the fluoridated regions and 703 from the non-fluoridated regions. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistical package version 23.0. The effectiveness of community water fluoridation in caries prevention was estimated by the differences in the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and decayed, missing, filled surfaces (DMFS) scores, between the program and control groups. The mean numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces were adjusted to reduce their confounding effect. Results: The mean DMFT and DMFS scores (0.69 and 0.91, respectively) of 10-year-olds from the fluoridated regions, after adjusting for the numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, were significantly lower than those of the 10 year olds (DMFT: 0.95, DMFS: 1.32) from the non-fluoridated regions. The effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, estimated based on the differences in the mean DMFT and DMFS scores, adjusted for the number of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, between the program and control groups of 10-year-old children, was 27.4% and 31.1%, respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that the effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, in Geoje City was so high that this program should be implemented in other regions in Korea as well.
