Objective: In this study, the dental health care knowledge, dental health behaviors and dental health status of elementary school students were compared and analyzed in the cases of their schools having dental health care center or not one. Methods: The target groups were 167 students of A school (experimental group) where pit-and-fissure sealants, fluoride mouthrinsing, and fluoride gel application were carried out with all grades of students by school dental health care center and 158 students of B school (control group) where fluoride mouthrinsing, for all grades students and pit-and-fissure sealants for the first grade students are carried out but have no the school dental health care center. Results: This study was carried out through the answer sheets and recordings of dental inspection. The findings of this study are as follows: 1. The dental health care knowledge was compared and the results showed that on average 14.2$\pm$2.1 in experimental group and 14.0$\pm$1.9 in the control group were no significantly different (p>0.05). 2. The dental health behaviors were compared and the results showed that the experimental group was significantly different(p<0.05) in terms of the number of times of dental brushing a day, the method of tooth brushing, the time of tooth brushing, the experience of tooth brushing with fluorine, the kinds of snacks and tooth brushing in school after lunch. But there was no significant difference(p>0.05) in the time of tooth brushing and the tooth brushing after eating snacks. 3. The DMF rate was compared and the results showed the significantly difference between the average experimental group and 53.8$\pm$5.0 in the control group(p<0.05). 4. The DMFT index was compared and the results showed the significantly difference between the average 0.6$\pm$2 in the experimental group and 1.4$\pm$1.6 in the control group(p<0.05). 5. The DMFI rate was compared and the results showed the significantly difference between the average 4.2$\pm$8.3 in the experimental group and 9.5$\pm$11.0 in the control group. (p<0.05). 6. The DT rate were compared and the results showed the significantly difference between the average 10.2$\pm$29.5 in the experimental group and 32.4$\pm$44.0 in the control group(p<0.05). 7. The FT rate were compared and the results showed the significantly difference between the average 88.5$\pm$31.0 in the experimental group and 67.5$\pm$44.0 in the control group(p<0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results, above there was no significant difference in dental health care knowledge between both the experimental and the control group. But we discovered that the experimental group is better than the other one in dental health care behaviors and dental health status. Therefore, we could conclude that the school dental health care center efficiently carried out the dental care and treatment. As school dental health care centers did not work out efficiently in terms of their educating on the dental health acre knowledge, the related programs to be developed and supported.

Purpose: This study was to investigate oral hygiene knowledge and the actual condition of oral care for the students in the public health and non-public health Departments. Methods: The survey sample consisted of 262 randomly selected students. 197 of them are public health-related students and 65 are non-public health-related students. The questionnaires used in this study consisted of 4 items for general information, oral health status of 2 items, 5 items for Oral hygiene knowledge and actual condition of oral care of 5 items. Collected data were analyzed by Frequency Analysis t-test and Crosstabs using SPSS(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Win 19.0 statistics program. Results: Regarding general characteristics of the subjects, there were 53.8% of first-year student, 26.0% of second-year student and 20.2% of third-year student among 52.3% of males and 47.7% of females. The subjects received less than "100,000" won(13.0%), "100,000-190,000" won (5.0%), "200,000-290,000" won(30.9%), "300,000-390,000" won (33.2%) and more than "400,000" won(17.9%) a month for an allowance. The subjects had 'none' (44.3%), '1'(6.5%), '2'(12.6%), '3'(5.0%), '4'(5.3%), 'more than' 5(0.8%) of dental caries and 'do not know' were 25.6%. The numbers of dental prosthetics were 'no' (35.5%), '1'(13.7%), '2'(17.2%), '3'(10.3%), '4'(11.5%), and 'more than 5'(11.8%). The public health students(84.8%) had a higher positive response rate than the non-public health students(66.2%). The public health students(80.2%) had a higher negative response rate than the non-public health students(78.5%) in the result of onset of gum disease pain awareness. The non-public health students(65.5%) had a higher negative response rate than the public health students(68.3%)) in the result of heredity of gum disease. The t-test showed that public health-related department students(M=8.264, SD=0.821) had more knowledge about oral hygiene than non-public health-related department students(M=8.015, SD=1.082). 'do not use' in the oral care products except toothpaste and toothbrush showed that public health-related department students(60.4%) use the products more than non-public health-related department students(66.2%). Conclusion: In this study, public health-related department students had higher oral hygiene knowledge and actual condition of oral care compared to non-public health-related students, but low in practical action. Due to the lower level of dental care products use in non-public health-related department, a continuous oral care education program is required.

본 연구는 대구지역 일부 주민 332명을 대상으로 구취측정 및 구취실태를 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 연구 대상자는 전체 332명 중 남자가 44.6%, 여자가 55.4%였다. 연령분포는 39세 이하가 32.5%로 가장 많았고 결혼 상태는 기혼이 82.2%였다. 직업은 무직이 28.6%로 가장 많았고 사무직이 15.7%, 전문직이 15.1%였다. 구강보건행태는 잇솔질 방법은 위아래로 닦는 사람이 46.4%로 가장 많았고 1일 잇솔질 횟수는 36.4%가 2회로 가장 많았고 55.6%가 혓솔질을 하고 있었다. 2. 구취측정시 마지막 식사시기는 1-2시간 전이 26.8%로 가장 많았고 현재 느끼는 구취인에서 63.3%가 '약간 난다'라고 하였다. 아침 식사 후가 구취가 가장 심하게 난다라고 26.3%가 응답하였고 냄새(구취)에 대한 인지는 '구린 냄새가 난다'라고 응답한 사람이 33.1%로 가장 많았다. 구취로 인해서 치과진료경험이 있는 사람이 11.4%였으며 구취치료에 대한 요구도가 63.9%였다. 3. 대상자의 구취농도는 100 ppb~149 ppb가 156명이며 평균 122.76 ppb였으며, 150 ppb이상은 54명이며 평균 195.26 ppb였으며 대상자의 63.3%가 구취관리 및 치료가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 연령이 증가 할수록 구취농도가 높게 나타났으며(p < 0.05) 현재 느끼는 구취인지 정도가 높을수록 실제 구취농도가 높았고(p < 0.001). 구취로 인한 치과진료경험이 있는 사람이 구취농도가 높았다(p < 0.01). 본 결과를 바탕으로 대상자의 구취에 대한 지식 및 관리법의 미숙한 점과 구취에 대한 인지능력이 정확하지 않은 것을 고려해 볼 때 구취에 관한 홍보를 확대할 수 있는 기초자료수집과 계획 및 치과진료기관의 구취관리 프로그램의 활성화가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
