본 연구는 Biscover를 교정학 영역에서 치아우식 예방 목적으로의 활용가능성을 평가하기 위해 Biscover의 잇솔질에 대한 마모 저항성을 평가하였으며, 인공우식용액에서의 치면 변화를 관찰하여 항우식 효과를 평가하였다. 교정치료를 목적으로 발거된 100개의 인간 소구치를 실험에 사용하였으며, 90개의 Biscover coating군과 10개의 대조군으로 분류하였다. Biscover coating 군은 잇솔질 횟수에 따라 무작위로 10개씩 9개의 군(B1 - B9)으로 분류하였으며, 대조군 역시 잇솔질 횟수에 따라 5개씩 2개의 군(C1, C2)으로 분류하였다(B1, 0; B2, 450; B3, 900; B4, 1,800; B5, 2,700; B6, 5,400; B7, 8,100; B8 & C1, 10,800; B9 & C2, 21,600 strokes). 3-body 마모 시험기를 이용해 치아 시편에 대한 잇솔질을 재현하였으며, 100 rpm의 빈도와 1.5N의 힘을 적용시켰다. Biscover 도포 후 법랑질면의 조도가 유의성 있게 감소되었고, 잇솔질 후에는 증가하였지만, 자연 법랑질보다 낮은 조도를 보였다 (p < 0.001). Biscover 도포 후 잇솔질 기간과 표면의 거칠기의 변화 사이에는 상관관계가 없었고, SEM을 이용한 표면과 단면 관찰 시 10,800회 잇솔질 후에 Biscover 층이 모두 마모된 것이 관찰되었다. 그러나, 치아를 인공우식용액에 7일간 침식하여 평가한 결과, 10,800회와 21,600회 잇솔질한 Biscover coating군에서는 매끄러운 표면이 관찰된 반면, 대조군인 자연치면은 심한 탈회가 진행된 소견을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여, Biscover 도포는 치면의 활택도를 향상시키며, 적절한 마모저항성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 마모에 의해 Biscover층이 제거된 후에도 자연치면에 비해 우식에 대한 큰 저항성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었으므로, 교정장치의 부착에 있어 이의 적절한 활용이 기대된다.

Korea has been running the community oral health program for the elderly, including topical fluoride application and scaling. The aim of this study was to compare the subjective and objective oral health status of 345 participants according to the number of participants in the program and of 37 participants before and after the 5-year program. The survey consisted of an interview questionnaire and oral examinations. Analysis of variance was used to compare the variables of the 345 participants according to the numbers of participants. Paired t-test was used to compare the oral health statuses before and after the 5-year program in 37 subjects. There was no difference in subjective oral health status according to the number of participants in the oral health program in the elderly, including subjective health status, subjective oral health status, satisfaction with oral health, concern about oral health, need of dental treatment, oral pain, tooth sensitivity, subjective periodontal health, and subjective symptoms of periodontitis. The community periodontal index (CPI) of the 1 time participants was significantly higher than that of 3 times, 4 times or 5 times participants in the upper center, lower left, lower center, and lower right areas. There was a significant improvement in CPI from $2.59{\pm}1.14$ to $1.41{\pm}1.54$ (p<0.001) and positive oral behavioral change (daily tooth brushing frequency from $2.27{\pm}0.73$ to $2.54{\pm}0.90$) before and 5 years after the program. However, the program did not prevent tooth loss as the numbers of the remaining teeth significantly reduced from $23.77{\pm}1.84$ to $21.95{\pm}2.03$ over 5 years. We showed that running the community oral health program for the elderly for more than three years might have positive effects on the periodontal health of participants.

This study investigated the relationship between oral health knowledge, behavior and orthodontic satisfaction in orthodontic patients visiting dental hospitals and clinics and provided suggestions to improve orthodontic patients' satisfaction. This study anayzed structured self-administered questionnaires collected from 245 patients who visited 5 dental clinics in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Regarding oral health knowledge, the highest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavities heal themselves over time" (97.1%), and the lowest percentage of correct answers was for the item "Cavity bacteria move from tooth to tooth" (16.7%). Five fluoride items showed a lower percentage of correct answers than those for cavity and gingival diseases. Regarding the survey on oral health behavior, the highest score was found for the item "I brush my teeth with a certain method and order" (3.78 out of 5), and the lowest score was found for the item "I use an electric toothbrush" (1.34 out of 5). Regarding the survey on orthodontic satisfaction, the highest score was found for the item "I would recommend receiving medical treatment at the department of orthodontics" (4.23), and the lowest score was found for the item "Orthodontic cost is reasonable" (3.46). While oral health behavior had on orthodontic satisfaction, oral health knowledge had no effect on it. Oral health behaviors should be improved to enhance orthodontic satisfaction. To improve oral health behavior, it is necessary to develop and activate education programs for tooth brushing and oral care for orthodontic patients.
