Background: Sevoflurane, a rotatively new inhalational anesthetic. has non-pungent odor and is less reluctant to pediatric patients. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of sevoflurane in inhalational sedation instead of the nitrous oxide for short and simple dental treatments in pediatric patients. Patients and Methods: Fifteen healthy children, whose dental treatment was abandoned due to their little or no cooperation, were selected with their caregivers' written permission. Deep sedation was induced and maintained with oxygen and 1-5% sevoflufane via specially designed nasal mask. Blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and electrocardiogram were monitored at 3-nin interval. A dental anesthesiologist, who was independent of dental treatments, was wholly responsible for the sedation procedure. Post-sedation complications and operator's and caregiver's acceptability of this type of inhalational sedation were also investigated. Results: The systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation was significantly depressed during the deep sedation using sevoflurane (P < 0.05). No severe post-sedation complications were found, however, bradycardia was reported in 3 patients. Almost all the operators and caregivers answered that they would adapt this sedation procedure again if possible. Conclusion: In this study, inhalational deep sedation using sevoflurane for dental treatments was found to be very useful. Furthermore, the application of sevoflurane to conscious sedation for pediatric and adult dental patients should be added.

The purpose of this study was to pave the way for the development of oral health promotion programs for children from the low-income class. The subjects in this study were 322 children from the city of Incheon. Some of them visited local childcare centers, and the others attended six different adjacent elementary schools. Their awareness of oral health, oral health behavior and preventive-treatment experience were investigated in May 2005, and whether there were any characteristics in their visit of dental institutions was checked. Besides, whether their parents advised them to brush their teeth before turning in was examined. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. 22.0 percent of the children investigated were visiting local childcare centers, and 78.0 percent weren't. The guardians of the former group largely received high-school(50.7%) and middle-school or lower education(22.5%), and those of the latter group mostly received high-school(41.0%) and college- or higher education(35.5%)(pE0.001). The common monthly mean house-hold income of the former was one million won or less(54.9%) or ranged from 1.01 to 2.00 million won(19.7%), and the most prevalent monthly mean household income of the latter was between 2.01 and 3.50 million won(28.7%). The second most dominant monthly mean household income of the latter ranged from 1.01 to 2.00 million won(28.3%), and the third most common one was 3.50 million won or more(12.0%)(pE0.001). 2. The most prevalent daily toothbrushing frequency among the local childcare center visitors was twice(39.4%), followed by three times(19.7%). The third largest group of the visitors brushed their teeth after each meal(19.7%). The most dominant daily toothbrushing frequency among the non-users of local child care centers was twice(54.2%), followed by three times(29.1%)(pE0.01). As to the way of toothbrushing, 58.2 percent of the visitors and 74.9 percent of the non-visitors brushed their teeth by turning their toothbrush or up and down(pF0.05). 62.0 percent of the former and 74.9 percent of the latter always brushed their teeth before turning in, and whether they visited local childcare centers made a significant difference to that(pE0.05). 3. 69.7 percent of the non-visitors were always advised by their parents to do toothbrushing before turning in, and the visitors who were given the same advice all the time numbered 29.6 percent(pE0.001). 4. 56.4 percent of the visitors and 72.1 percent of the non-visitors had ever visited dental institutions over the past year. Dental hospitals and clinics were identified as the dental institutions that they visited the most, and they mostly received dental-caries treatment or had a tooth out there. 49.3 percent of the visitors and 35.1 percent of the non-visitors had ever had a toothache. 5. Sealant was experienced by 42.3 percent of the visitors and 46.2 percent of the non-visitors to prevent dental caries(pF0.05). 33.8 percent of the visitors underwent fluoride application, and that rate was higher than that of the non-visitors with the same experience that stood at 22.7 percent(pE0.05). The visitors mainly acquired knowledge on oral health through other channels that weren't specified in the questionnaire(28.2%), and the non-visitors did it mostly at dental clinics(39.0%)(pE0.001).

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.

Trauma to the lips and tongue can occur by accidental self-biting after dental treatment. After local anesthesia, it is likely that the patient may feel painless even in biting the tongue. In case of young children and disabled patients, the dentists should be careful not to bite the tongue. In this report, we present a case of deep lingual laceration due to biting the tongue in the course of dental treatment under general anesthesia. A 33 year-old male was transferred to our hospital to treat tongue laceration. Before 2 hour on arrival, he had received dental care under general anesthesia at a dental hospital for the disabled because of cooperation difficulty and cerebral palsy. During recovery from general anesthesia, he tried to bite his own tongue involuntary. The doctors and nurses tried to prevent the patient from being injured. Despite these efforts, massive bleeding occurred from the injured sites of the tongue. Because we could not communicate with him, we decided to evaluate the extent of the injury and treat the injured sites under general anesthesia. The laceration wound was sutured for nearly 1 hr general anesthesia. During recovery we inserted mouth prop into the oral cavity to prevent further injuries from tongue biting. After full recovery from general anesthesia he didn't try to bite his tongue. After 4 hour admission, he was discharged without other complications.

최근 들어 치아침식증(이하 침식증)의 유병률이 증가하면서 이에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있지만 아직 우리 사회나 치과계 내에서 인식이 부족한 상황이다. 침식증은 비가역적 치아 경조직 소실로, 방치될 경우 복합적인 문제를 야기할 수 있으므로 조기에 진단하여 질환의 진행을 예방해야 하며 특히 어린이와 청소년에 있어서는 조기 개입이 더 중요하다. 침식증은 다인자성 질환이므로 조기 진단을 위해서는, 위험인자에 대한 충분한 사전 지식을 갖추고 체계적인 임상검사와 철저한 병력청취가 필요하다. 주 원인요소가 파악되면 이를 가급적 제거하고 예방적 방법을 동원하여 질환의 진행을 막도록 노력한다. 치료는 치질 소실이 일정 기준 이상 되었을 때 시작하며 가장 덜 침습적인 방법을 선택해야 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the state of dental treatment among disabled patients by the type of disability. After the medical records of 531 disabled patients who received treatment at the pediatric dentistry in K university hospital, the following findings were given: 1. As for age distribution by year, the rate of patients aged 10 or down rose to 42.5 from 5.1 percent, and the 16-20 age group increased from 16.7 to 24.8 percent. But the rates of patients aged between 11 and 15 and aged 21 and up were on the rise(p<.05). 2. Concerning the type of disability by year, there was an increase in the number of patients with brain lesions, mental retardation, developmental disorder and Down's syndrome(p<.05). As to the number of dental caries by the type of disability, the patients with heart diseases had the most dental caries that numbered 8.49, followed by Down's syndrome, metal retardation, brain lesions, the other disabilities and developmental disorder. 3. In relation to dental treatment experiences by the type of disability, the patients with developmental disorder(57.5%) received the most dental treatment, followed by mental retardation, the other disabilities, brain lesions, Down's syndrome and heart diseases(p<.05). 4. Regarding general anesthesia experience by the type of disability, the patients with mental retardation(31.6%) were put under general anesthesia the most, followed by developmental disorder, brain lesions, the other disabilities, heart diseases and Down's syndrome(p<.05). In conclusion, nationwide efforts to nurture separate dental personnels responsible for the disabled, to expand relevant facilities and to improve the health care insurance are required to promote the oral health of disabled children.

아동의 치과의료이용행태에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 아동의 구강보건행태에 관한 이해를 증진함과 동시에 이에 대한 기초자료를 확보하고자 전라북도 익산시에 거주하는 아동과 그들의 모친 1907쌍을 대상으로 앤더슨-뉴만 모형을 적용하여 조사연구를 시행하였다. 조사방법은 자기개별 기입법에 의한 설문조사법이었다. 모형에 의한 종속변수는 아동의 치과의료이용횟수였고, 독립변수는 소인성 요소, 가능성 요소 필요성 요소로 구분 된 39개 요인이었다. 소인성 요소는 인구 및 사회 경제학적 요소, 모친의 영향 요소, 아동 자신의 요 소로 세분된 32개 요인이었고 가능성 요소는 월 평균 세대소득 등 6개 요인, 필요성 요소는 구강병으로 인한 활동제약 및 활동불능일수였다. 아동의 치과의료이용행태에 대한 앤더슨-뉴만 모형의 설명력은 25%였다. 소인성 요소가 가능성 및 필요성 요소보다 아동의 치과의료용회수에 대한 설명력이 더 컸다. 직접적인 영향을 미친 변수는 치 의사에 대한 가치, 모친의 구강건강신념 중 감수 성, 아동의 구강건강신념 중 감수성과 유익성 및 장애도, 아동의 학년, 출생순위, 진료비에 대한 부담, 단골구강진료기관유무, 구강병으로 인한 활동제약 및 활동불능일수였다. 모친의 교육수준, 사회경제적지위, 가족수 등 12개 요인은 간접적인 영향을 미쳤다. 가장 큰 영향을 미친 요인은 모친의 치과의료이용횟수였고, 아동의 구강병으로 인한 활동제약 및 활동불능일수, 아동의 구강건강신념 중 감수성, 단골구강진료기관유무 등이 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 이상과 같이 아동의 치과의료이용에는 모친의 영 향이 매우 크며 다른 연령층과는 달리 소인성 요소에 속하는 요인들이 중요하다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 아동의 적절한 치과의료이용을 도모하기 위해서는 모친의 행동이 중시되어야 하며, 모친과 아동을 함께 고려하는 연구 및 교육 프로그램의 개발이 활발히 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료되었다.
