Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the preparation of toothbrushing and the opinion of teachers in the practice of toothbrushing of elementary school students to provide information on the implementation of school-based toothbrushing programs. Methods : The subjects were 85 elementary school teachers. The statistical package SPSS 18.0 was used to obtain descriptive statistics and ${\chi}^2$-test. Results : Oral health education program and toothbrushing preparation proved to be the most important priority in this study. The barriers to school-based toothbrushing guideance were limit of education time and shortage of space. School-based toothbrushing was related to oral health education program in the meanwhile school without school-based toothbrushing program needed the toothbrushing facilities. About 87.5% of the schools had not equipped with toothbrushing facilities. If the facilities were given, 82.5% of the school would implement the program. Conclusions : The elementary school is the place where the lifelong oral health program is given to the students, so it is very important to promote the school-based toothbtushing nationwide in the future.

본 연구는 심뇌혈관질환위험군의 구강건강인식과 구강건강행위가 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 간호중재 프로그램의 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다. 자료수집은 전라남도에 소재한 2개의 종합병원 및 보건소, 보건진료소, 노인복지관에서 관리하고 있는 심뇌혈관질환위험군 131명을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 조사하였다. 연구기간은 2018년 2월부터 3월까지 2개월간 시행되었다. 수집한 자료는 기술통계와 t-test, Pearson 상관분석, 단계적 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위는 치주질환인식인 주관적 구강건강상태(r=.261, p=.003), 구강건강의 중요성(r=.250, p=.004), 그리고 구강건강행위(r=.303, p<.001)와 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강건강행위(${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), 연령(${\beta}=.27$, p=.001), 주관적 구강건강상태(${\beta}=.24$, p=.003)로 나타났다. 즉, 구강건강행위가 높을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 주관적 구강건강상태가 좋을수록 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위의 점수가 높아진다고 할 수 있다. 이들 변수의 설명력은 19.3%이었다. 따라서 심뇌혈관질환위험군의 구강건강 수준을 향상시키기 위한 교육 및 중재프로그램 개발이 필요하며 구강건강 인식, 태도 및 행동과 구강건강상태 등에 관한 지속적인 추후연구가 필요할 것이다.

Various dental procedures, such as injection administration, surgical treatment, and endodontic treatment, can cause injury to the nerves. The most commonly injured nerves are the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves. This can manifest as altered sensation to the area of innervation of the injured nerve, such as the lower lip, chin, teeth, tongue, and mucosa. Altered sensations or loss of sensation are relatively infrequent complications in daily dental practice. Here, we report an uncommon case of altered sensation in the midfacial region caused by an endodontic procedure and discuss the need to consider local dental causes in the differential diagnosis of numbness in the facial region.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to establish the regular scaling checkup service and to improve oral health care on the basis of knowledge, attitude, and belief by Dental Prophylaxis Practice Lab in A university. Methods : Subjects were 324 patients who visited Dental Prophylaxis Practice Lab in A university for the preventive removal of tartar from April to June 8, 2012. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0 through the frequency analysis, chi-test, and logistics regression analysis. Results : In relation to scaling experience by age, 65.3% had experienced scaling checkup and those between 20 to 29 (34.7%) did not receive the scaling therapy. Smokers tended to have received more scaling experience than nonsmokers. Second, the number of untreated dental caries and missing teeth due to dental caries were important because the variables of oral health condition affected the scaling experience. Conclusions : It is necessary to increase the scaling experience and regular dental checkup by providing the education to improve dental clinics visit based on the knowledge and belief towards the scaling.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제7기 1차(2016년)년도 자료를 이용하여 성인 남성의 구강건강행위와 삶의 질 및 우울증상과의 관련성을 확인하기 위한 이차자료 분석연구이다. 만 19세 이상의 남성 2,647명을 대상으로 하였으며 PASW Statistics 18.0을 이용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 구강건강행위는 삶의 질(EQ-5D) 사이에서 양의 상관관계(0.142, p<0.01)가 있었으며, 우울증상(PHQ-9)은 음의 상관관계가 있었다(-0.347, p<0.01). 즉, 구강건강행위 실천률이 높은 사람일수록 삶의 질이 높고, 우울증상이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 구강건강행위의 실천 수준이 성인 남성의 삶의 질 및 우울증상과의 관련성 있으며, 향후 성인 남성 대상의 구강건강 및 일반적인 건강향상을 위한 보건정책 개발에 필요한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Tablet splitting is used in pharmacy practice to adjust the dose to be administered. However, it also causes several problems such as undesirable effect for sustained release or enteric-coated dosage form, inaccuracy of dose, and pharmacist's safety by splitting hazardous drugs. This study investigated the current status of oral dosage form splitting for patients older than 19 years by analyzing Korea National Health Insurance Claims Database. Out of oral solid drugs prescribed (N=1,486,584) 9.8% of them included tablets (or capsules) split. There were some splitting cases even in sustained release (4.9%), enteric-coated forms (1.3%) and hazardous drugs (2.7%) that were selected by NIOSH (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health). The most frequently split drugs were antihistamines, neuropsychotics and steroids. In case of digoxin and warfarin, unit doses in a domestic market were not diverse compared to foreign markets. Guidelines for splitting oral solid dosage forms, approval of diverse doses and conducting dose-response studies for the commonly splitting ingredients on Korean people are needed for the saff and effective use of oral solid drugs.

Background: One of the main causes of delay in diagnosis of oral cancer is lack of awareness about aetiology and symptoms among the general population. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice of patients regarding oral cancer and their attitude towards tobacco cessation. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in Isfahan-Iran in 2014. A 29-item self-administrated questionnaire was designed and piloted and distributed to patients attending dental clinics. Questions were focused on awareness about oral cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms, places in the mouth which are more susceptible and attitude toward tobacco cessation. Chi-square, T-test, ANOVA and logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 546 valid completed questionnaires were obtained. The mean knowledge score of patients was 4.1(${\pm}2.7$) out of 13. Some 80% of patients did not know about early manifestations of oral cancer. Only 18% knew the most likely sites of oral cancer. Only 43.1% and 65.2% of patients reported alcohol and tobacco consumption as the main risk factors but they had a fair knowledge about other risk factors. There was no significant difference in Knowledge level between patients regarding their sex, educational levels and age. Most patents (90%) expected their dentists to warn them about the harmful effects of smoking and showed willingness to quit if recommended. Conclusions: Knowledge about oral cancer was found to be quite low. It seems necessary to increase the level of public awareness using educational programs with cooperation of dentists in tobacco cessation programs.

The objective of this study was to identify the current status of use and respective work scopes of dental hygienists and nursing assistants as perceived by dentists, thereby obtaining a model for how to efficiently use oral health assistance personnel. This study was based on a self-reported survey administered to a total of 126 dentists. The following findings were observed. Where competition among neighborhood clinics was relatively high, nursing assistants tended to be used as a resource to assist dental hygienists, whereas where it was relatively low, they were more likely to be considered to work as full substitutes for regular dental hygienists. Looking at the scopes of practice, dental hygienists were allowed to deal with matters of preventive care, oral health education, and health insurance claims. On the other hand, nursing assistants were allowed to be in charge of taking X-ray pictures from the outside and inside of mouth and keeping medical devices clean and safe. This study is expected to contribute to establishing more reasonable oral heath personnel structure design decisions.

본 연구는 2010년 11월 충북지역 일부 중학생을 대상으로 흡연, 스트레스, 구강건강 및 분야별 건강증진행위 실천정도를 파악하고자 이루어졌으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 중학생의 33.8%가 흡연 경험이 있었으며, 처음 흡연시기와(24.1%) 습관적 흡연 시기가(10.4%) 초등학교 고학년 시기에 가장 많아 흡연연령이 점차 낮아지고 있는 추세이다. 2. 스트레스에 따른 중학생의 건강생활실천 수행정도를 비교한 결과, 스트레스가 낮은 그룹이 구강건강을 제외한 모든 항목에서 건강생활실천 수행정도가 높았으며 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 구강건강상태도 스트레스가 낮은 그룹이 우식치아수도 적게 나타나 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 구강환경관리능력(PHP)은 유의한 수준은 아니었으나 스트레스가 높은 그룹이 구강환경관리가 잘 되지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 3. 부모의 양육방식이 자율적일수록 스트레스가 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며(p<.05), 스트레스가 낮은 그룹이 학교생활 만족도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다(p<.05). 4. 중학생의 건강증진행위에 영향을 미치는 변인의 영향력을 살펴본 결과, 표준화 계수 ${\beta}$의 견지에서 정신 건강이 가장 영향력을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다.
