The purpose of this study is to discuss the economic outlook of dentistry in relation to pessimistic economic perspectives of Korea and to present subsequent solutions. The expectation of the future economic growth rate of Korea is gloom with not only a love rate of increase in population due to an aging society and a low birthrate, but also with a declined number of productive populations. Moreover, the future of dentistry in Korea is obscure. Even with a dwindling population growth, an average of 750 new dentists graduate from dental school every year. The 30-35% of the new graduates practice in public hospitals; and 65~70% of them open up their own private practices, However, unlike in the past, the occurrence of dental practice bankruptcy has been increasing with a competitive environment, excessive initial investment, knowledgeable patients, and etc. Therefore, it is essential to re-evaluate the number of new graduates. Also, it is necessary to supply a greater number of public hospitals with newly licensed dentists, who have various clinic experience, participate in research and development, and experience appropriate hospital management skills.

The aims of this study were to investigate the nosocomial infection route of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and explore preventative methods for this pathogen that involve blocking its dispersion. We cultured MRSA from nasal cavity swabs collected between June and July 2008 that we obtained from eight dental healthcare providers, 32 nurses and the sputum specimens of two patients from our hospital. In addition, we used VITEK 2 equipment to measure drug sensitivity, and we further performed biochemical testing and pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to isolate MRSA colonies. The incidence of these bacteria on the nasal swabs was 25.0% from dental clinic healthcare providers, 13.6% from the internal medicine ward nurses and 30.0% from intensive care unit nurses. Moreover, MRSA was detectable in sputum specimens of ward patients. The antimicrobial agents resistance and partial PFGE types of MRSA showed a similar pattern. We suggest from these analyses that nasal cavity infection by MRSA could occur by cross contamination between healthcare providers and patients which underscores the importance of stringent MRSA management practices.

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.

Programs provided by the Korea Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation include Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Korean Advanced Life Support (KALS). However, programs pertinent to dental care are lacking. Since 2015, related organizations have been attempting to develop a Dental Advanced Life Support (DALS) program, which can meet the needs of the dental environment. Generally, for initial management of emergency situations, basic life support is most important. However, emergencies in young children mostly involve breathing. Therefore, physicians who treat pediatric dental patients should learn PALS. It is necessary for the physician to regularly renew training every two years to be able to immediately implement professional skills in emergency situations. In order to manage emergency situations in the pediatric dental clinic, respiratory support is most important. Therefore, mastering professional PALS, which includes respiratory care and core cases, particularly upper airway obstruction and respiratory depression caused by a respiratory control problem, would be highly desirable for a physician who treats pediatric dental patients. Regular training and renewal training every two years is absolutely necessary to be able to immediately implement professional skills in emergency situations.

본 연구는 치과병원에서 발생하는 진료시(스케일링, 치아절삭) 및 비진료시(기기만 가동) 가동되는 치료기기의 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향 정도를 파악하기 위하여 NR 평가방법으로 분석하였으며 치과위생사의 기기소음에 대한 반응을 설문조사를 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 치과병원 기기의 진료 시 및 비진료 시의 주파수 특성의 경우 고주파로 갈수록 소음도가 높게 나타났으며 발생소음도의 대부분이 고주파 성분(4 KHz이상)에 의하여 영향을 받고 있으며 발생하는 소음레벨 dB(A)의 범위는 67.7~78.3 dB(A)로 치과위생사의 소음피해가 예상되는 수준으로 소음 영향을 최소화하기 위한 대책이 시급하다고 사료된다. 2. 치과병원에서 발생하는 소음에 대한 반응을 조사한 결과 응답자의 57.8%가 "왠지 불안하게 된다"라고 응답하였으며 치과위생사 경력이 5년 이하이고 30세 이하인 경우에는 "왠지 불안하게 된다", 경력이 5년 이상이고 31세 이상인 경우에는 "아무렇지도 않다"라고 응답한 비율이 높게 나타난 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 이는 발생소음레벨이 소음이 인체에 미치는 영향에서 "청력손실의 발생 시작" 수준으로 경력과 연령이 많을수록 그만 큼 소음에 만성적으로 노출된 결과로 판단된다. 3. NR곡선에 의한 평가 결과 스케일링 치료를 할 경우 NR-78, 치아 삭제 시 NR-77, 기기만 가동 되는 경우 NR-67로 나타나 작업장의 소음기준을 훨씬 초과하는 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 스케일링 치료시 소음피해를 최소화하기 위해서 4 kHz이상의 고주파대역을 제어할 수 있는 방음대책을 수립하여 치과 위생사에게 미치는 소음에 대한 영향을 줄일 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 4. 소음으로 인하여 발생되는 제반 문제와 병원환경만족 등의 변수에 대한 상관관계 분석결과 기기에서 발생하는 소음으로 인하여 기분이 거슬리게 되면 환자에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하는 경우의 상관계수가 0.677로 유의미한 정적 상관관계(p<0.01), 치과위생사의 "병원환경만족도"와 "환자들로부터 기기소음에 대한 불평을 듣는" 항목에서 -0.595, "기기발생 소음으로 피곤을 느낀다" 항목에서 -0.343으로 유의미한 부정적 상관관계(p<0.01)를 보이고 있었다. 5. 소음에 노출되어 기분 거슬림이나 피곤을 느끼게 되면 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하게 되고 병원이 소란할수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되어 치과병원의 기기소음에 대한 적절한 대책 수립이 필요하며 이를 통하여 치과종사자의 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공, 치과병원의 경쟁력 제고 측면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다 치과 병원 기기에서 발생하는 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향정도를 파악하고자 소음특성을 측정 및 설문 조사를 통하여 분석한 결과 기기발생 소음특성이 치과위생사에게 기분이 거슬리거나 피로를 느끼게 하는 수준이며 이로 인하여 환자들에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하려는데 지장을 받고 있으며 병원이 시끄럽다고 느낄수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 치과위생사에 대한 적절한 방음대책(방음보호구 제공, 저소음 저진동 장비의 선택, 마스킹 효과 등)을 수립하여 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공하므로써 치과위생사들의 병원환경 만족도를 향상시켜 치과의료 서비스의 질 및 경쟁력 향상이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the cognition and practice of infection control in the dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 220 dental hygienists in Busan and Gyeongnam from August 1 to 31, 2014. The questionnaire was adapted from Nam. The questionnaire consisted of four questions of the general characteristics of the subjects, two questions of infection control factors, four questions of clinic environment, 50 questions of awareness of infection control, and 50 questions of infection control practice. Cronbach's alpha in the awareness of infection control was 0.958 and that in infection control practice was 0.950. Results: The dental hygienists in the large scale hospitals tended to have higher score of cognition and practice of infection control thatn those in the small scale hospitals(p<0.001). Small scale hospitals tended to have lower infection rate than the large scale hospitals. The education for the infection control guideline reduced the infection prevalence rate. Conclusions: In order to reduce the infection prevalence rate, it is necessary to educate the dental hygienists continuously and to provide the infection control guideline to the dental clinics.
