The purpose of this study is that level of community members about dental hygienist's job of cognition and perception. The subjects of this survey were 500 of community members located in Gumi, Seoul, Incheon, Wonju.(response rate 92%) The results of study could be summarized as follows: 1. Women, 30 age group, officer and house keeper who had were experienced scaling higher level cognition of dental hygienist than another groups. 2. The group that had experienced oral examination, oral health consult, and the young group who had not experienced prosthodontic treatment had higher perception that dental hygienist main role is oral health care education. 3. The student who had experienced scaling had higher perception that dental hygienist's main role is oral disease prevention. 4. Over 30 age, women group who had experienced dental treatment between 6 month and 2 years had higher perception that dental hygienist main role is dental assistance At the conclusion of this investigation, We investigated that person's perception and cognition is promoted through scaling. Therefore we have to increase opportunity of oral health prevention and education role. In addition, we should notify dental hygienist with uniform, name tag and information about dental hygienist.

Objectives : The objective of this paper is to clarify the factors of the geriatric oral health influencing oral health-related quality of life by using the contracted OHIP-14 tool. Methods : This research conducted individual interview for 177 seniors using senior citizen center by using structured questionnaires. SAS(Ver.9.2) Program was used for the collected data to perform frequency analysis, reliability and scale analysis, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results : The oral health-related quality of life level related to oral health according to the demographical characteristics showed that it was better in case that they are younger, married, more educated and have more living expenses. Except for age, oral health-related quality of life was connected to scholastic achievement, living expenses, subjective health condition and subjective oral health condition. The factors influencing the oral health condition were subjective health condition, marriage, scholastic achievement, living expenses, age and sex. As the subjective health condition is better, in case of cohabitation of only a couple and as the age or scholastic achievement is higher and the living expenses are more, the oral health condition was better. The factors influencing oral health-related quality of life were subjective oral health condition, marriage, sex, subjective health condition, scholastic achievement and living expenses. As the subjective oral health condition and health condition were better and in case of sole living and cohabitation of only a couple, male's oral health-related quality of life was higher. Conclusions : It is considered that because the geriatric oral health condition becomes an important factor to oral health-related quality of life, the development of the geriatric oral health business and the geriatric heal education program to maintain and improve oral health is required and the activation of the oral health insurance policy for preventive dental service is necessary.

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.

본 연구는 학교구강보건사업을 통해 구강보건서비스를 제공받고 있는 초등학생들이 전국의 각 시 군 구별로 어떻게 서로 다르게 분포되어 있는지를 파악하기 위하여 GIS기법 중에서도 단계구분도를 이용하여 5단계로 나누어 지도를 제작하였다. 서울에서는 학교구강보건사업을 실시하는 초등학교가 전혀 없어서 본 연구에서는 제외되었고 205개 시 군 구를 대상으로 하여, 구강보건서비스에 대한 공간적 지리적 접근성을 비교의 기준으로 삼아 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 통계적 인접성에 의해 5단계 중에서 기본구간은 0.1~20.0%로 설정하였다. 1. 전국 각 시 군 구 초등학교 학생 수 대비 학교구강 보건실을 운영하는 초등학교 학생 수 비율이 기본 구간에 해당하는 지역은 전국적으로 113개 시 군 구에 해당하며 33개 시 군 구는 0%에 해당한다. 2. 전국 각 시 군 구 초등학교 학생 수 대비 학교구강 보건실을 운영하는 초등학교에서 구강보건교육과 바른양치교육을 수행했던 학생 수의 비율이 기본 구간에 해당하는 지역은 전국적으로 101개와 102개 시 군 구에 각각 해당한다. 구강보건교육이 전혀 실시되지 않는 시 군 구는 34개, 바른양치교육이 전혀 실시되지 않은 시 군 구는 35개이다. 3. 전국 각 시 군 구 초등학교 학생 수 대비 학교구강 보건실을 운영하는 초등학교에서 예방서비스를 받았던 학생 수의 비율이 기본 구간에 속하는 지역은 전국적으로 80개 시 군 구에 해당한다. 34개 시 군 구의 초등학생들은 어떤 예방서비스도 제공받지 않았다. 4. 전국적으로 학교구강보건실을 통해 치료서비스를 제공 한 초등학교 중에서 기본 구간에 해당하는 시 군 구는 153개이다. 51개 시 군 구의 초등학생들은 치료서비스를 전혀 제공받지 않았다. 이와 같이 학교구강보건사업을 통하여 구강보건서비스를 제공받는 초등학생들은 전국적으로 볼 때 지리적 공간적 편차가 매우 크다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 다시 말해서, 초등학생들의 구강보건서비스에 대한 공간적 지리적 접근성은 전국의 각 시 군 구에 따라 격차가 매우 크다는 사실을 확인할 수 있다. 또한, 본 논문은 GIS 기법을 활용하여 학교구강보건사업의 전국적 분포를 비교 분석함으로써 공공 부문에서의 국가구강보건정책을 입안하고 시행하는데 정책적 근거자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, GIS를 활용하여 보건지리학, 구강보건학, 치과위생학 사이의 학제간 연구를 수행하였다는 데 의의를 갖는다.
