The research was conducted to 100 child patients selected by random sampling, which got a Dentocult-SM test in the first visit and then was being continuously managed, out of child patients of a pediatric clinic located in Gyeonggi-do. The period of there search is one year from June 2007 to May 2008, Using Dentocult-SM test, we analyzed the correlation between the distribution of dental plaque, a streptococcus mutans in saliva and condition of dental caries cavity in the teeth of child patients, then we measured the distribution of a streptococcusmutans. According to SM score, we applied incremental oral heath care for child patients to clinical and obtained the following results, 1. In terms of the age of child patients in research, the number of 3 years old patients was 29(lst ranked), the number of 2 years old patients was 28(2nd ranked). 2. The result of SM score showed that female child patients(52.0%) was higher than male ones in negative, male child patients(52.0%) was higher than female ones in mild, female child patients(68.2%) was higher than male ones in moderate, male child patients(57.1%) was higher than female ones in severe. 3. At the first visit, the SM score showed statistically remarkable difference between dt and dmft. We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 4. At the second visit, the SM score showed statistically remarkable difference among dt, ft, and dmft index We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 5. At the third visit, The SM score showed statistically remarkable difference among dt, ft, and dmft index We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 6. The comparison of dmft index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for negative and mild, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in moderate and severe. 7. The comparison of dt index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for negative, mild, and moderate, In addition to that, we can con firm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in severe. 8. The comparison of mt index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for mild and moderate, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences m severe. 9. The comparison of ft index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for mild, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in negative, moderate, and severe. 10. According to the comparison of dmft index to the age, the 4 years old patients showed the highest number(5.50 in the first visit and 6,08 in the second one). In the third visit, the 6 years old patients showed the highest number(7.00). By the above results, we can find that the incremental oral heath care by SM score makes the results of oral care better. Therefore, the improvement or maintenance in oral health of child patients needs continuing personal oral health management and regular systematic management focused on prevention by the specialist.

The purpose of this study was to propose a method for the effective management of toothbrush contamination. Toothbrush microbial contamination was analyzed according to the duration of toothbrush use, frequency of toothbrush use per day, and toothbrush storage location. We also analyzed the microbial reduction effect of vinegar, antimicrobial mouth rinse, bamboo salt, and baking soda, which are sterilization materials that can be easily used every day. We collected 45 toothbrushes from university dormitories from May to June 2018. To determine the degree of microbiological contamination with general bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus, bristle samples were cultured at $36^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours using 3M$^{TM}$ Petrifilm plates and then measured based on Petrifilm evaluation criteria. Toothbrush microorganisms were analyzed according to the duration of use, frequency of use per day, storage location, and effect of each sterilization material. General bacteria, coliforms, and S. aureus contamination increased with frequency and duration of use (p<0.05). In particular, S. aureus showed a statistically significant increase to 36.15 CFU/ml after 1 month, 504.23 CFU/ml after 2 months, and 2,386.67 CFU/ml after 3 months (p<0.05). We found that 1% vinegar was the most effective substance for reducing general bacteria, coliforms, and S. aureus. In addition, 1% antimicrobial mouth rinse solution applied for 5 minutes was the most effective in reducing S. aureus. It is crucial to recognize the importance of toothbrush care and store toothbrushes in a dry place and replace them periodically. We recommend use of vinegar and antimicrobial mouth rinse solution to disinfect toothbrushes. These should be applied as a 1% solution for at least 1 minute. Proper care of toothbrushes is important in maintaining oral health as well as overall health. Instructions on toothbrush care should be given when teaching children or adults how to brush teeth.

Purpose: The present study confirms the content validity and understanding level of the questions of the Korean version of caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA). Methods: To develop the Korean version of CAMBRA for children aged 0-5 years, a series of steps were followed: first, translation and reverse-translation processes were conducted by an expert committee. To establish content validity, CAMBRA was modified to adapt to the conditions in Korea by 17 dental hygiene professionals with a master's or a higher degree. The responses were analyzed using analysis of frequency and descriptive statistics. Content validity was verified by calculating the content validity index (CVI). The survey was administered to 64 mothers and caregivers to assess the understanding level of questions of the Korean version of CAMBRA. Results: Content validity of each of the items showed an S-CVI/AVE value of 0.79, but the content validities varied from 0.63 to 1.0. The understanding level of each question was between 3.56 and 4.46, thus showing favorable results. Conclusion: It was concluded that the test items verified for content validity were suitable for assessing caries risk for children of ages 0-5 years. This study would contribute to improving children's oral health and disease prevention by providing timely intervention.

Objectives: Interdental toothbrushes are made and sold in various design types and brush thicknesses. However, there is little research on which type of interdental toothbrush currently manufactured and sold on the market is the most effective in eliminating interdental plaque. Therefore, this study aims at comparing the elimination rate of artificial dental plaque between reciprocating- and rotating-types of interdental toothbrush based on the frequency of application and thickness of brush. Methods: This study focused on the effective management of dental plaque using interdental toothbrush, a recommended item for personal dental hygiene. The method was as follows: artificial dental plaque coloring was applied to the distal surface of artificial tooth #46 and the mesial surface of #47. The area was subject to reciprocal movement three and six times to eliminate artificial plaque. Results: The results showed that using a 0.7mm rotating interdental toothbrush, on the proximal surface of each molar, the elimination rates were: on the distal surface of #46, upon three applications 40.24%, upon six applications 30.41%; on the mesial surface of #47, upon three applications 44.52%, upon six applications 29.72%. Conclusions: These results showed that for rotating-type interdental toothbrushes, a high dental plaque elimination rate was observed even though many reciprocal movements were not performed.

일부 지역 치위생(학)과 3, 4학년 학생 196명을 대상으로 장애인의 전반적인 인식, 장애인 치과학에 대한 교육 여부, 장애인 환자 구강관리 역량 자가평가를 자기기입식 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 대상자의 대부분이 장애인이나 장애인 환자에 대한 긍정적인 인식을 가지고 있었으며 84.7%는 장애인 전문 치과위생사 양성이 필요하고 76.5%는 졸업 후에 장애인 치과진료 관련 세미나에 참가할 의향이 있다고 하였다. 그러나, 전체 대상자의 각 장애인별 업무역량에 대한 자가평가는 보통 수준 미만으로 장애인 치과치료에 대한 업무역량이 충분하지 않다고 생각하고 있었다. 대상자의 71.4%는 교과 및 비교과 교육과정에서 장애인 치과진료를 경험하였으며 경험을 한 대상자가 장애인 환자에 대한 지식, 구강보건교육, 구강병 예방처치, 진료보조, 의사소통의 대부분 영역에서 본인의 역량을 유의한 수준으로 높게 평가하였다. 이론교육이 충분하였다고 응답한 군에서도 충분하지 않았다고 응답한 군에 비해 장애인 환자 관리 역량에 대해 유의하게 높은 수준으로 자가평가를 하였다. 이를 토대로 보았을 때 현재 교육과정상 치위생(학)과 학생들의 장애인 치과치료에 대한 업무역량은 부족한 것으로 보이나 장애인 환자의 구강건강 관리 및 치과진료 보조에 대해 긍정적이며 장애인 환자에 대한 경험과 이론 교육 등이 효과를 나타낸다고 판단된다. 따라서, 교육과정에 장애인 치과학이 포함될 수 있도록 제도적 뒷받침이 필요하고 충분한 이론교육과 실습교육을 병행하여 장애인 환자의 구강건강 향상에 이바지할 수 있는 인력을 양성하도록 해야 한다. 또한, 현장 임상실습 교육 시 장애인 환자를 경험할 수 있는 여건을 마련하고 장애인 전문 치과위생사 양성에 대한 심도 있는 논의도 이루어져야 할 것이다.
