Objective: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder that may be negatively associated with the self-image. It might be associated with orthodontic treatment demand and outcome, and therefore is important. Thus, this study was conducted. Methods: The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD-YBOCS) questionnaire was used in 699 orthodontic patients above 12 years of age (222 males, 477 females), at seven clinics in two cities (2020-2021). BDD diagnosis and severity were calculated based on the first 3 items and all 12 items of the questionnaire. The dental health component of the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN-DHC) was assessed by orthodontists. Multivariable and bivariable statistical analyses were performed on ordinal and dichotomized BDD diagnoses to assess potentially associated factors (IOTN-DHC, age, sex, marital status, education level, and previous orthodontic consultation) (α = 0.05). Results: IOTN-DHC scores 1-5 were seen in 13.0%, 39.9%, 29.8%, 12.4%, and 4.9% of patients. Age/sex/marital status/education were not associated with IOTN-DHC (p > 0.05). Based on 3-item questionnaire, 17.02% of patients had BDD (14.02% mild). Based on 12-item questionnaire, 2.86% had BDD. BDD was more prevalent or severer in females, married patients, patients with a previous history of orthodontic consultation, and patients with milder IOTN-DHCs (p < 0.05). Conclusions: IOTNDHC was negatively/slightly associated with BDD in orthodontic patients. Being female and married may increase BDD risk.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to contribute to the development of standard curriculum on oral health intervention on dementia patients for dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors by identifying the extent of knowledge, attitudes and educational needs on dementia among dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors. Methods: We performed survey to dental hygienists and dental hygiene professors for about 2 months from April to May, 2018. Among them, 325 copies were used for final analysis. Frequencies and percentages were calculated to identify general characteristics of respondents and their dementia-related characteristics, and means and standard deviations were calculated to find out the extent of knowledge, attitudes, and educational needs on dementia among subjects. Multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the effects on the educational needs on dementia. Results: The analysis on the factors that affect the dementia education needs of the subjects showed that the dementia education necessity (p<0.001) and the dementia attitude (p<0.001) had statistically significant effects on the educational needs on dementia. Conclusions: As a result, dental hygienists who are responsible for oral health intervention of dementia patients need to have proper knowledge about dementia and positive attitude toward dementia patients, so professional education is needed to improve knowledge and positive attitude. This will provide a basis for the dental hygienists to be equipped with the relevant expertise in the intervention in the oral health of dementia patients in the future.

최근 치과치료를 위해 병원을 방문하는 것뿐만 아니라, 교정치료를 위한 방문이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 교정치료환자와 일반치료환자의 의료서비스 만족도에 미치는 관련 요인을 비교 고찰하기 위하여 2015년 9월 1일부터 9월 30일에 걸쳐 대구 경북지역 소재의 치과 의료기관에 치료 중인 환자 421명을 임의표본 추출하여 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 다변량 분석결과, 교정치료환자와 일반치료환자의 공통된 유의한 관련성이 있는 독립변수는 의료진과 진료비인 것으로 나타났으며, 일반치료환자의 경우 추가로 치과치료 시 공포감이 의료서비스 만족도에 유의한 변수로 나타났다. 따라서 환자에 대한 의료서비스 만족도를 제고하기 위해서는 양질의 의료서비스와 적절한 진료비 제공이 공통적으로 필요하고, 특히 일반치료환자의 경우에는 통증감소를 위한 상담관리와 치과치료 공포감 완화를 포함한 종합적인 맞춤식 서비스 제고 방안이 요구된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the present conditions and problems of oral health care in senior citizens with dementia using a qualitative research method, through focused group interviews. Methods: Data was collected for approximately one month from May 2019. The subjects were divided into two groups: care workers and family caregivers. Fifteen participants were included in the study. Results: In-depth interviews with the care workers revealed the following three categories: characteristics of senile dementia patients, oral health care in senile dementia patients, and oral health care education. In-depth interviews with the family caregivers revealed the following four categories: characteristics of senile dementia patients, oral health care in senile dementia patients, oral health care education, and burden of care. The central themes common to both the care workers and family caregivers were the challenges owing to the characteristics of senile dementia patients, poor health condition of the senile dementia patients, difficulty in oral health care of the senile dementia patients, the desire to receive oral health care education and related information, and to access the information more easily. Additional central themes specific to the care workers were, the applicability of the intervention programs, variability between the facilities, and the problems of oral health care education. An additional central theme specific to the family caregivers was the burden of care. Conclusions: It is necessary to provide oral health care education and information to care workers and family caregivers of senile dementia patients, and to manage and support the dental health professionals ready to care for senile dementia patients. In addition, support to the family caregivers should not be limited only to the financial aspects, but also consider the psychological and emotional difficulties.

Background: To determine the prevalence, types, and risk factors of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) among a group of Arab Jordanian dental patients, and to evaluate their awareness and attitudes toward early diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,041 patients attending a University Hospital for dental care were examined for the presence of OPMDs. Histopathological examination was performed on all cases clinically diagnosed and patients were directly interviewed to evaluate their knowledge and attitudes toward early detection and treatment of oral cancer. Results: The prevalence of OPMDs overall was 2.8%. Lichen planus/lichenoid lesions were the most common lesions (1.8%) followed by leukoplakias (0.48%), chronic hyperplastic candidiosis (0.38%), and erythroplakia (0.096%). Smoking, alcohol, and age (>40 years) were the main identifiable risk factors. Patients with OPMDs displayed a general lack of awareness and negative attitudes towards early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions: OPMDs among Arab dental patients are relatively uncommon and awareness about oral cancer among Jordanian dental patients is low. Interventions to improve public knowledge about oral cancer and attitudes toward early diagnosis and treatment are urgently indicated.

치과진료시 환아는 어느 정도의 공포를 느끼게 되고, 이에 따른 다양한 부정적 반응을 표출하게 된다. 소아환자의 행동조절을 위해 여러 방법들이 시도되어 왔고, 최근 소아치과 분야에서 사용이 증가하고 있는 시청각자료의 이용도 그 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 시청각자료의 사용이 치과진료시 환아의 반응에 미치는 영향과, 환아의 나이, 치과병력, 일일 TV나 비디오 시청시간 등과의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 삼성서울병원 소아치과를 내원한 만 $3{\sim}6$세의 건강한 아동 30명을 동수의 두 군으로 나누어, 1군에서는 치료시 통상의 tell-show-do만을 시행하였고, 2군에서는 시청각기구의 사용을 병행하였다. 발치를 제외한 통상의 보존적 술식만 실행하였고, 초진시 설문지를 통해 환아의 나이, 치과병력유무, Frankl 행동지수, 일일 TV나 비디오 시청시간을 조사하여 중등도의 협조도를 보이는 환아만을 대상으로 하였다. 치료시 환아의 행동평가에는 Houpt 행동분류 지수를 이용, 수면유도, 움직임, 울음 및 전체적인 반응을 기록하였다. 초진시 조사한 두 군간의 나이와 일일 TV나 비디오 시청시간 사이에는 차이가 없었다. 수면유도에 있어서 시청각군에서 유의성있는 수면유도 효과를 보였으며, 움직임이나 울음에 대하여는 유의성있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전체적 반응에 대한 평가에서는 시청각군이 유의성있는 개선된 반응을 보였는데, 치과병력의 존재, 연령의 증가, 시청각매체와의 빈번한 접촉시 시청각자료를 이용한 행동조절에 보다 긍정적으로 반응하였다.

Personality characteristics of third decade female TMD patients was studied by means of SCL-90-R test. 112 TMD patients and 96 dental controls were subjected at the department of Oral medicine, Kyungpook National University Hospital. All the patients were divided into 3 groups according to their pain profile namely, MPDS, ID with Pain and ID with out Pain, and dental controls were divided into 2 groups manely, Dental Controls with Pain and Dental Controls without Pain for comparison. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Mean T-scores of SCL-90-R primary scales and global indexes in the patient and control group were within normal range. 2. When compared between groups with pain, MPDS group were significantly higher in scales of SOM, 0-C, I-S, HOS and PHOB than ID with Pain group and in scales of SOM, I-S. DEP, HOS and PHOM than Dental Controls with Pain group. 3. When compared with ID and Control groups in same pain condition, there were no significant differences between ID without pain and Dental Controls without Pain group. 4. When compared between groups with pain and groups without pain, there were significant differences in scales of SOM and O-C between Dental Controls with Pain and Dental controls without Pain group.
