Objectives : This study was to evaluate the association between perceived oral health and perceived oral symptoms among adults in Daegu. Methods : All 437 subjects aged 18 or more selected convenience sampling were surveyed cross-sectionally via the self-administrated questionnaire. The questionnaire was measured perceived oral symptoms and perceived oral health, and also obtained socio-demographic characteristics, oral health behaviors. To assess the crude associations, bivariate analysis were applied. For the adjusted association between perceived oral health and perceived oral symptoms, multivariate linear regression multiple regression analysis was conducted. Results : 33.2% of the adults rated their perceived oral health was good, and 30.9% as poor. Older age, low education, had peridontal disease was negatively perceived their oral health(p<0.05). As oral symptoms were more frequently perceived, the perceived oral health were negative. Among the factors of perceived oral symptoms, trouble biting/chewing, poor periodontal status, trouble of appearance of teeth were positively associated with the perceived oral health after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics, oral health behaviors in the regression model. Age, education, income, recent dental treatment, and all perceived oral symptoms showed the highest impact of association with perceived oral health in the baseline-category logit model. Conclusions : Perceived oral health are significantly associated with perceived oral symptoms among adults in Daegu. The findings of this study will be helpful to design plans of oral health promotion in welfare institutions to increase the oral health related quality of life among the adults.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of stress symptoms, oral habits and temporomanbibular joint symptom among 20-30 ages adults. And it's also meant to investigate the direct and indirect influence of these factors by using a path model to determine their causal relationship. Methods : The subjects in this study were 287 selected 20-30 ages adults, on whom a survey was conducted from June 15 to July 10, 2014. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0(SPSS 18.0 K for window, SPSS Inc USA) and IBM SPSS Amos 18.0(SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Results : There were significant differences in oral habits, TMJ symptoms and stress according to gender. There were significant differences in oral habits, TMJ symptoms, physical and psycho-emotional symptoms according to Systemic disease. And stress, physical, psycho-emotional symptoms, oral habits and TMJ symptoms were correlated to one another. Stress exerted a direct influence on physical, psycho-emotional symptoms, and psycho-emotional symptoms had a direct impact on physical symptoms, oral habits and TMJ symptoms. Physical symptoms exercised a direct influence on oral habits and TMJ symptoms, and oral habits affected TMJ symptoms in a direct way. physical, psycho-emotional symptoms and oral habits served as parameters that produced partial mediation effects, and the two factors had an indirect impact on TMJ symptoms. Conclusions : It's found that stress exerted direct and indirect influence on oral parafunction and TMJ symptoms. Like other diseases, oral habits and TMJ symptom that stem from stress is likely to lead to chronic diseases if the two are not noticed at the right time. Therefore individual people should try to get rid of stress in a manner to be appropriate for their own characteristics in order to maintain their oral health.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between hours of smartphone use and oral disease symptoms in Korean adolescents. Methods: In this study, data from the 2022 Youth Health Behavior Online Survey were used. The final analysis was conducted on students who responded that they have used a smartphone (N=50,375). Chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between oral disease symptoms and smartphone use time (p<0.05). Results: Consequent to examining the effect of smartphone use on oral disease symptoms, it was found that oral symptoms, such as pain during chewing and tingling throbbing, increased as smartphones were used for >4 h (p<0.05). Additionally, oral symptoms, such as gingivalgia bleeding and bad breath, appeared to increase as smartphones were used for >6 h (p<0.05). However, using smartphones for <0-2 h or 2-4 h had no effect on oral disease symptoms. Conclusions: In adolescents, oral disease symptoms increased significantly with increasing hours of smartphone use. Therefore, adolescents should be guided so that they use smartphones for <2 h or >4 h. Moreover, guidance on forming the habit of tooth brushing after eating food should be provided to prevent oral disease symptoms.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the self-rated oral health concern of adults over the age of 20 and from all over the country and their subjective oral health symptoms in a bid to provide some information on oral health policy setting for adults. Methods : The subjects in this study were 3,558 adults who voluntarily participated in a survey conducted by this researcher at the website of a company. After their answer sheets were analyzed, the following findings were given: Results : 1. 81 percent replied that they were very concerned about oral health. As to the relationship between their general characteristics and oral health concern, there were statistically significant differences in that regard according to their gender, age, purpose of seeing a dentist and occupation. 2. As for the relationship of their general characteristics to subjective awareness of oral health symptoms, there were statistically significant gaps in that aspect according to their gender, age, purpose of seeing a dentist, occupation and state of smoking. 3. In regard to the relationship between oral health concern and subjective awareness of oral health symptoms, those who were more concerned about oral health felt less subjective oral symptoms, but the difference between them and the others was not significant. The respondents who felt more symptoms of dental caries felt more symptoms of periodontal diseases as well. Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings indicate that in order to help adults promote or maintain their oral health, their concern for oral health should be stimulated by providing them with a lot of diverse information, and it seems that the development of programs that can eliminate their subjective oral symptoms of dental caries and peridontal diseases, the primary causes of tooth dysfunction, is required.

본 연구의 목적은 서울시 돌봄 서비스 노동자들의 직무스트레스와 정신건강 요인이 구강 증상에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 방법은 돌봄 서비스 노동자 150명을 대상으로 7월 24일부터 8월 6일까지 설문조사를 시행하였다. 조사항목으로는 직무스트레스, 정신건강(신체증상, 불안, 불면), 주관적 구강 증상을 조사하였으며, 연구 결과 다음과 같다. 직무스트레스(p=0.001)는 구강 증상에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신체증상(p<0.001), 불안 증상(p<0.001), 불면 증상(p<0.001) 모두 구강 증상에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 위험 요인 중 신체 증상이 구강 증상에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 직무스트레스, 불안 증상, 불면 증상, 구강 증상의 상관성 결과, 직무스트레스가 증가할수록 신체 증상(p<0.001), 불안 증상(p<0.001), 불면 증상(p<0.001), 구강 증상(p<0.01)이 모두 증가하는 양의 상관성을 나타냈다. 돌봄 서비스 노동자들은 돌봄 대상자를 신체적·정신적으로 보살펴야 하는 업무를 수행하므로 육체적·심리적 노동력 소진이 크다. 자신의 건강과 구강건강 상태가 좋아야 업무수행력을 높일 수가 있기에 노동자들의 정신건강을 위한 제도적 확대 방안이 필요하며, 구강건강 증진을 위한 맞춤별 구강보건교육 프로그램 도입이 매우 필요하다고 사려된다.

Objectives : The goal of this study is to investigate how occupational stress affects temporomandibular disorders (TMD), dry mouth and oral symptoms. Methods : For this study, workers from 5 areas were selected and the survey was carried out from June 1st to 30th, 2012. A total of 410 questionnaires were analyzed. Results : The analysis of the structural model shows that occupational stress has no significant influence on temporomandibular disorder and dry mouth symptoms, but does affect other oral symptoms. The results also reveal that dry mouth symptom and temporomandibular disorder both have a significant effect on oral symptoms. Conclusions : Oral symptoms and job stress appeared to directly and indirectly influence the psychological and social factors of job stress. A systemic investigation on the improvement of oral health in workers is urgently required.
