본 연구는 2016년 1월부터 대구 경북에 소재하고 있는 저작기능장애가 있는 환자를 대상으로 구강건강행동지수와 치면세균막지수를 비교하였다. 연구결과 연구대상자들의 일반적인 특성과 교육 전 구강건강행동지수는 집단 간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 구강근기능훈련 프로그램 진행 후 QHI를 비교한 결과 진행후 통계적으로 유의하게 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the values of tongue pressure (TP), lip closing pressure (LCP), right buccal pressure (RBP), and left buccal pressure (LBP) and check the intraoral muscle imbalance and observe the changed values according to the myofunctional therapy (MFT) period. The MFT with a prefabricated appliance was performed on patients with certain muscular dysfunctions due to oral habits. And the improvement of perioral muscles was evaluated using a balloon-based pressure measurement. The group consisted of 21 patients with oral habits such as chronic mouth breathing, finger sucking, lip sucking, tongue thrusting, and atypical swallowing habits. When comparing the two groups before treatment, there was a significant difference in TP and LCP values. The TP increased the most in the first month since the start of myofunctional therapy, and the LCP increased the most between 3 and 6 months after treatment began. The values of TP, LCP, RBP, and LBP in the control group measured before treatment were very similar to the results of the experimental group 6 months after the myofunctional therapy. When the MFT was steadily performed, it was possible to observe a noticeable increase in the tongue and lip closing pressure. At least 6 months of myofunctional therapy is recommended for patients with intraoral muscle imbalance due to oral habits.

본 연구는 저작기능장애자 56명을 대상으로 구강안면프로그램을 시행함으로 인해 이로 인한 구강위생효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 구강안면프로그램을 이용한 집단과 대조군이 치면세균막지수, 구강건강행동지수의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 교육프로그램을 구강보건교육의 동기부여를 위한 도구로 활용가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the oralmyofunctions (occlusal force, tongue pressure, lip force) of adults and elderly people. And analyzed the factors affecting oral health related quality of life and dysphagia. The study was conducted on 73(over 20 years of age) Residing in Daejeon and Nonsan From December 2017 to May 2018. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA, pearson's correlation and multiple regression. The masticatory strength of each age group evaluated the right and left posterior occlusal forces. the elderys group (8.93, 10.80) were lower than adults group(12.51, 14.61) and middle age group(11.63, 14.75)(p>0.05). The tongue pressure was statistically significant lower in eldery group(37.43) than the adult group(60.55), middle-aged group(50.61) (p=0.000). In addition lip force was significantly lower in eldery group(8.57) than adult(12.01), middle-aged(11.37)(p= 0.000). The tongue pressure was positively correlated with the number of natural teeth(r=.566, p<.05), and the lip force (r=.497, p<.05). The quality of life quality related to oral health and dysphagia was tongue strength(p<0.05). It is necessary to recognize the risk of declining oral muscle function caused by aging. especially tongue strength is associated with quality of life and dysphagia. In order to improve the quality of life related to oral health in the aged society, the necessity of regular oral administration and oral muscle training was proposed.

This study aimed to find out the effects of oral health education between the experiment group and the control group upon motivating them using oral facial program in 56 subjects including 29 members in the experiment group and 26 in the test group. With the collected data, Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed to understand the difference before and after the program. OHBI in the experiment group showed significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05), mean values after the program with $9.57{\pm}1.44$ and $8.68{\pm}1.46$ points in the experiment group and the control group, respectively. Mean QHI score in the experiment group was $1.00{\pm}.14$ points after the program while that in the test group was $1.03{\pm}.23$, demonstrating lower in the experiment group but not statistically significant. Mean scores of program satisfaction level were $4.13{\pm}.17$ and $3.94{\pm}.22$ points in the experiment group and the control group, respectively, demonstrating statistically significant. Based on the study results, the effects of oral health education using orofacial program showed the differences between the groups in dental plaque index and oral health behavior index. It is worth to use the oral facial exercise program as a tool for improving the authoring function and oral hygiene.

This study analyzed the effects of the nutrient intake on oral health and chewing difficulty according to the age group. The subjects were 5,855 participants of the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES VI), 2015, Korea Centers for Disease Control and prevention and aged 20 years and over. The data were analyzed using SPSS Ver 21.0, classified as the difficulty in chewing group (DC) and no difficulty in chewing group (NDC). As a result, the DC rates were 5 times higher in the 60+ year age group (39.5%) than in the 20-39 year age group (8.1%). The DC group were experience periodontal disease (33.4%), dental caries (30.1%), diabetes (41.8%), myocardial infarction (57.3%), arthritis (44.0%), asthma (48.0%), and depression (41.9%). In addition, 86% of the DC group were experiencing speech problems. The DC group had significantly lower intakes (1446.59g), than the NDC group (1666.62g), and the protein, carbohydrate, dietary fiber and other dietary intake were significantly lower. These findings suggest that the chewing difficulty is related to the nutrient intake, and psychological status in the elderly DC group. Therefore, the care of chewing difficulties is essential for the elderly to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Accordingly, oral care and myofunctional therapy are needed to maintain oral health.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence on respiration, oral motor and articulation using wind-instrument centered music therapy for patients with cervical cord injury who need continuous train of respiratory muscle. Three patients with cervical cord injury who needed continuous training of respiratory muscle were selected and post data was analyzed. The harmonica using both exhalation and inspiration was selected as an wind-instrument. Each session was taken 30 ~ 40 minutes, once a week from total 6 weeks with small group. Material about every session's work was provided for individual to maintain practice after program. Oral motor and articulation test was done to assess reflecting features of maximal expiratory flow and wind-instrument of factor related breath. Maximal expiratory flow has increased by average 25ml more, articulation has increased by 3.16 points more and the movement of oral motor has increased 11.67 points more than pre-test from the analyzation. In the comparison of the details, the increase of oral motor function was confirmed from scores on the jaw and tongue except for the lips. Based on the results of this study, this study suggests that wind-instrument centered music therapy will be a practical and effective intervention for respiratory rehabilitation in patients with cervical cord injury.

The oral screen is a functional appliance, suitable for the treatment of developing malocclusion associated with aberrant muscular patterns. The better muscle balance between tongue and the buccinator mechanism can be established, and the reestablishment of normal growth and development can be achieved. The oral screen can be used for the correction of the following conditions : (1) thumbsucking, tongue thrusting and lip biting, (2) mouth breathing, (3) mild distocclusion with premaxillary protrusion, (4) open bites in deciduous and mixed dentition, and (5) incompetent lips. The patient should wear the oral screen every night and also during the day whenever possible. The effects of oral screen can be elevated through lip seal exercise : the lips should be kept in contact all the time to improve the lip seal. In the presented two cases, the patients were considered mouth breathers and to have incompetent lips, and one patient with maxillary incisal protrusion and the other with open bite. They were instructed to wear the oral screen with lip seal exercise. After wearing the appliance for 1 and 2 years respectively, mouth breathing was decreased and lip length and strength were increased, the maxillary incisors were retruded and open bite reduced.
