본 연구는 장기요양시설 노인의 삶의 질에 관련된 요인을 알아보기 위하여 조사대상자의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련행위특성, 구강건강영향지수(OHIP-14), 신체적 기능(ADL, IADL) 및 정신적 기능(CES-D, MMSE-K)과 삶의 질(WHOQOL-BREF)과의 관련성을 분석하였다. 조사대상은 장기요양인정자로 판정받은 장기요양시설급여노인 602명으로 하였으며, 2016년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 직접 면접조사와 구강검사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 삶의 질은 남성보다 여성에서, 생활비조달을 본인이 하는 경우보다 자녀가 조달하거나 정부의 보조를 받는다는 군에서, 요양기간이 길수록, 비음주군보다 음주군에서, 규칙적인 운동을 한다는 군보다 하지 않는다는 군에서, 식사를 규칙적으로 한다는 군보다 하지 않는다는 군에서, 주관적인 건강상태가 건강하다는 군보다 건강하지 않다는 군에서, 1일 칫솔질 횟수가 적을수록, 구강건조증이 없다는 군보다 있다는 군에서, 구강건강영향지수(OHIP-14)가 낮을수록, 신체적 기능(ADL, IADL)이 낮을수록, 정신적 기능(CES-D, MMSE-K)이 낮을수록 유의하게 낮았다. 특히 삶의 질은 다른 요인보다 건강관련행위특성과 정신적 기능(CES-D, MMSE-K)에 의해 더 큰 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장기요양시설 노인의 삶의 질을 증진시키기 위해서는 바람직한 건강관련행위를 비롯하여 우울 및 인지기능장해를 예방하기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this review was to analyze the evaluation criteria on mandibular implant overdentures through a systematic review and suggest standardized evaluation criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A systematic literature search was conducted by PubMed search strategy and hand-searching of relevant journals from included studies considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomized clinical trials (RCT) and clinical trial studies comparing attachment systems on mandibular implant overdentures until December, 2011 were selected. Twenty nine studies were finally selected and the data about evaluation methods were collected. RESULTS. Evaluation criteria could be classified into 4 groups (implant survival, peri-implant tissue evaluation, prosthetic evaluation, and patient satisfaction). Among 29 studies, 21 studies presented implant survival rate, while any studies reporting implant failure did not present cumulative implant survival rate. Seventeen studies evaluating peri-implant tissue status presented following items as evaluation criteria; marginal bone level (14), plaque Index (13), probing depth (8), bleeding index (8), attachment gingiva level (8), gingival index (6), amount of keratinized gingiva (1). Eighteen studies evaluating prosthetic maintenance and complication also presented following items as evaluation criteria; loose matrix (17), female detachment (15), denture fracture (15), denture relining (14), abutment fracture (14), abutment screw loosening (11), and occlusal adjustment (9). Atypical questionnaire (9), Visual analog scales (VAS) (4), and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) (1) were used as the format of criteria to evaluate patients satisfaction in 14 studies. CONCLUSION. For evaluation of implant overdenture, it is necessary to include cumulative survival rate for implant evaluation. It is suggested that peri-implant tissue evaluation criteria include marginal bone level, plaque index, bleeding index, probing depth, and attached gingiva level. It is also suggested that prosthetic evaluation criteria include loose matrix, female detachment, denture fracture, denture relining, abutment fracture, abutment screw loosening, and occlusal adjustment. Finally standardized criteria like OHIP-EDENT or VAS are required for patient satisfaction.

본 증례에서는 발병한지 1개월 된 환상미각증 환자에게 FCST의 CBA를 이용한 상부 경추 교정 치료를 시행하여 환상미각 증상이 완전 소실되는 변화를 관찰하였다. 다른 치료를 병행 하지 않고 CBA를 이용한 상부 경추 교정 치료만으로 효과를 본 것에 임상적 의의가 있다. 뇌신경계의 안정을 목표로 비침습적인 구강내 장치를 이용하여 미각이상 증상의 개선을 관찰하였고, 추후 미각장애에 대하여 FCST 치료의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nutritional supplements on periodontal health and tooth mobility after surgery. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group who consumed nutritional supplement drinks for 8 weeks, while the placebo group did not receive any such supplements. The gingival index (GI) and tooth mobility were measured at baseline and at 1, 4, and 8 weeks. In addition, the oral health impact profile-14 and anthropometric measurements along with loss of appetite and dietary intake were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. Results: At 1 week, GI values were reduced in the intervention group (P<0.05), and tooth mobility had increased, but to a lesser extent in the intervention group (P<0.05). At 8 weeks, the intakes of protein, vitamins A and B1, and niacin were increased in the intervention group. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that nutritional supplementation improves early periodontal healing after surgery.
