This research is conducted for 152 implant patients at the H dental clinic during the 2 years(from the January, 2007 to the December, 2008). After adjusting the following oral health care and analyzing the effects of plaque control scores(PCS), following results are obtained. The average PCS is higher at the 4th visit(65.37), which is the termination of education, than the 1st visit(32.89), which is before education(p = .000). Although following PCS decreases after 3 months(56.27) from the termination of education, it increase again after 6 months(60.44), 9 months(64.72) by following oral health care(p = .000). The female got a higher average PCS than the male, and also got a higher following PCS at 3 month(p = .000). According to the average PCS, patients are divided to group A who got lower grade than 69 and B who got higher grade than 70. Comparing with that results and the following PCS, group B get a higher grade than group A in the every period(p = .000). We can observe that the average PCS is improved as doing repeated education and constant management, and we think these results are occurred because people change their minds by following oral health care and obtain proper oral management habit.

Methods: The anti-microbial activity and minimal inhibitory concentration were measured the agar dilution method. Results: Platycodon grandiflorum extracts grew in the free agar plates all of the oral microorganisms. In the bark-free Platycodon grandiflorum extracts all the oral microorganisms grew in the free agar plates. Growth was inhibited at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. Oral microorganisms showed an absence of growth at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Conclusions: It was confirmed that the extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum having a higher saponin content than the bark - free Platycodon grandiflorum extract showed excellent antimicrobial effect.

In order to identify relationships between oral health management behavior and subjective oral health perception and oral acid production in small and medium industry workers, an examination on oral acid production and a survey were conducted. As a result, the subjective oral health status, which is subjective oral health perception, was found to have a significant effect on oral acid production, and the worse the subjective oral health status was, the higher the oral acid production was. As the subjective oral health perception is expected to be helpful for the development of industrial oral health programs to improve oral health of workers, organizational and institutional efforts for industrial oral health education will be necessary for improvement of subjective oral health perception of workers.

The data were analyzed frequency analysis and independent t-test, multiple regression analysis, logistic regression analysis by using SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. The overall average of oral health knowledge was 13.83 out of 24, and knowledge of periodontal disease and scaling was the highest at 3.75, and knowledge of oral hygiene products was the lowest at 1.38. Oral health knowledge was significantly higher in those who had scaling experience for the past year, brushed teeth for more than 3 minutes at a time, used oral hygiene products, and had oral health education experience. As a result of multiple regression analysis, oral health education experience was the most important factor on oral health knowledge. As a result of logistic regression analysis, oral health knowledge was the most influential factor on scaling experience.

The better the subjective oral health status, brushing-related self-efficacy and oral health management self-efficacy were significantly higher. The better the health practice behavior, brushing-related self-efficacy and oral health management self-efficacy were significantly higher. The better the subjective oral health status, the more positively it affected oral health-related self-efficacy. The implementation of health practice behavior in order of exercise, health responsibility implementation, and smoking showed a positive effect on oral health-related self-efficacy. Therefore, we hope that the results of this study are used as fundamental data for development of continued oral health programs converging systemic and oral health and contribute to the promotion of comprehensive and oral health in adults.

Education should consider the social consensus that changes according to the times and the social environment, and it is also necessary to consider the technically useful subjects. We collected and reported the 4-year course curriculum of dental hygiene when Korean dental hygiene education has continued over 50 years. Each 4-year course curriculum was collected by searching each university website, or requested by email. The curriculum of 23 among 27 schools was collected. According to the classification of dental hygiene in the dental hygienist national examination classification or the Korean society of dental hygiene science, the subjects of the course were divided into clinical dental hygiene, clinical dental treatment support, basic dental hygiene, social and educational dental hygiene, and collected 23 curriculum courses. The average major curriculum was 104.9 credits and the average number of subjects in major courses was 34.3. The average subjects' number of clinical dental hygienic courses was 33.9 (37.5% of the total major credits), clinical dental treatment support was 30.6 (30.2% of the total major credits), basic dental hygiene was 21.8 (20.8% of the total major credits), and social and educational dental hygiene courses was 13.6 (13.0% of total major credits). Integrated subjects' name in clinical dental hygiene was used in all schools of the survey, such as clinical dental hygiene education (and practice), comprehensive dental hygiene education, and integrated dental hygiene. There were 13 schools (56.5%) that use the integrated name in clinical dental treatment support, such as clinical dentistry. There were 14 schools (60.9%) to open dental clinic management, and 22 schools (95.7%) to open national health insurance claims. The basic dental hygiene curriculum maintained the title of each subject and social and educational dental hygiene education was established in most schools, such as community dental health, oral health statistics, and oral health education. Other subjects were English conversation in dental clinic (8 schools) education, clinical dental treatment support, basic science in dental hygiene, social and educational dental hygiene. We knew the clinical dental hygiene and clinical dental treatment support were changing into the integrated subjects, and most schools run dental hygiene research.
