2015년 실시한 국민구강실태조사에 따르면 우리나라 만 12세 아동들의 우식경험영구치지수(DMFT index)는 1.9로 주요 OECD 국가들의 평균인 1.6에 거의 근접한 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 인접면 우식증의 진단에 있어 새로 개발된 $Qraypen^{TM}$의 효능을 기존의 방법인 시진 및 구내 치근단 방사선 사진과 비교 평가하고, 임상 적용 시의 문제점을 파악하여 차후 $Qraypen^{TM}$에 필요한 개선안을 제시함과 아울러 치아우식증의 예방 및 초기 우식증 재광화 방법에 대한 기초 연구자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 학교 구강검진을 목적으로 내원한 학령기의 혼합치열을 가진 32명의 어린이들을 대상으로 구강검진 2회, 구치부 치근단 방사선 필름 판독 2회 그리고 구치부 인접면 $Qraypen^{TM}$ 이미지 판독 2회를 실시하고 비교한 결과 $Qraypen^{TM}$ 영상은 변연융선이 파괴되지 않은 유구치의 인접면 우식증의 탐지에 효과적이었다. 또한 방사선 촬영 결과와 비교해 보니 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 그러나 인접면 우식증이 상아질까지 진행되어 병소가 성숙하여야 뚜렷한 붉은색 형광을 관찰할 수 있었기에 우식 병소의 진행 정도와 붉은색 형광 발생의 관련성을 확인하기 위해서는 향후 발치된 치아를 사용하여 조직학적 검사를 병행한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구 결과 $Qraypen^{TM}$은 유구치의 육안으로 보이지 않은 인접면 우식증을 탐지하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있는 유용하고 간편한 보조장비가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Methods : The subjects in this study were performed with 235 people, who were over 65 years and resided in Daejeon Province, from June 20 to July 10, 2011. An individual interview was held, and they got a dental checkup. As for data analysis, chi-square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation were utilized. Results : The older age in the whole research subjects and the lower educational level led to the less remaining teeth and the larger missing teeth index. The decayed missing filled teeth index and the decayed missing filled teeth rate were higher in more women and older age and in the lower educational level. Tooth mortality rate was higher in the older age, the lower educational level, and the group of living together with spouse. The maxillary-mandibular fixed-bridge status in the mouth was indicated to be the highest in the full-denture mounting ratio as for elders in over 80 years old. Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14) average score was $56.05{\pm}11.64$ in the whole research subjects The decayed missing filled teeth index and the decayed missing filled teeth rate showed significantly positive correlation with the decayed missing filled teeth rate, tooth mortality rate and showed significantly negative correlation with OHIP-14. Tooth mortality rate showed significantly negative correlation with OHIP-14 Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14) showed significantly positive correlation with its factors. Conclusions : Accordingly, the policy effort is considered to be necessary that implements in elders in order to spend active senescence, and that elders' health and oral-health behavior can be implemented continuously and preventively through classification according to elders' physical function.

본 연구는 서울특별시 성동구에서 치아건강사업의 일환으로 관내 모든 초 중 고등학교에 양치시설을 확대 설치하기 결정 한 후 2012년 양치교실을 설치한 중학교의 양치시설 효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존에 양치시설이 설치되어있는 A중학교와 2012년 양치시설이 설치된 B중학교 1학년을 대상으로 구강환경관리능력 및 치아건강관리 행태의 변화를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DMFT와 DMFS는 기존에 양치시설이 설치 운영되어 온 A중학교가 B중학교보다 더 낮게 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). CPI는 치아우식경험지수와 다른 결과를 보였는데 학교별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 여학생이 남학생에 비하여 code (0)은 높게 나타났고 code (2)는 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 양치시설이 설치되기 전, 양치시설 유무에 따른 PHP index 검사에서는 양치시설이 있는 학교의 학생들이 구강환경관리능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 양치시설 전 후에 따른 조사에서는 양치시설 설치 전보다 양치시설 설치 후에 구강환경관리능력 개선 정도가 유의하게 크게 나타났다(p<0.01). 3. 양치시설 유무에 따른 치아건강관리 행태 비교에서는 지난 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우는 양치시설이 없었던 B중학교에서 더 높게 나타났고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균횟수는 양치시설이 있는 A중학교에서 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유에 대해서는 학교간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 '장소가 부족해서' 항목은 A중학교보다 양치시설이 없는 B중학교에서 높게 나타나 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 양치시설 설치 전후 치아건강관리 행태 변화에서는 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우가 설치 전보다 설치 후에 증가하였고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균 횟수도 양치시설 설치 후에 더 감소하였으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유 중 '장소가 부족해서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.01), '친구들이 하지 않아서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 크게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 구강보건지식의 개선만으로는 임상적, 행동적 의의를 가지지 않는다. 청소년들의 행동변화를 유도하여 직접 참여하기 위해서는 학교나 가정 한 단체만으로는 불가능하다. 학교뿐만 아니라 정부기관의 정책과 재정적 지원, 지역사회관련 교육기관들과 관련 단체들의 프로그램 개발과 평가에 대한 협조 등이 청소년들의 올바른 구강건강관리를 습관화 시키는 데 기여할 것이다.

Objectives: This paper aimed to contribute to better oral disease prevention and practice of health behavior for immigrant women in multi-cultural families, to define missing and filled permanent teeth index of immigrant women, data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was used. Methods: For the immigrant women to be subjects, they needed to be born overseas, had acquired Korean citizenship as a married immigrant women, and the estimate of the number of subjects was 133,093 women. For analyzing data, SPSS 21statistical program was used. We used covariance analysis (ANCOVA) andgeneral linear models for finding the relation with the missing and filled permanent teeth index. The significance level was 0.05. Results: DMFT-index of immigrant women was 7.33 points. $R^2$ was 0.416; and increased with age, and $R^2$ was 0.126 points higher (p<0.01). In household income, 'lower' was 5.933 points lower than 'upper' (p<0.05), and in toothbrushing after lunch, 'yes' was 3.598 points lower than 'no' (p<0.01). In preventive treatment, 'yes' was 4.301 points lower than 'no' (p<0.05). Conclusions: The result of this paper is as follows: for maintaining oral health of immigrant women, we think that the government needs to develop an oral health policy and a customized education system suited to immigrant women for preventive management of dental disease in immigrant women. In addition, basic data will be provided for public dental health programs based on the result of the study.

To improve oral hygiene management, the effects of toothbrush training on general oral hygiene based on the simplified oral hygiene index(S-OHI) and degree of knowledge about toothbrushing were examined. Pre-and post-training changes in the S-OHI (lower score = better oral health status) showed a significant decrease in score in all variables (gender, age, marital status, occupation, and level of education).Pre- and post-training changes in the degree of knowledge about toothbrushing showed a significant increase. Negative correlations between the S-OHI, oral health status, and degree of knowledge about toothbrushing and the S-OHI and the Decayed, Missing, Filled (DMF) index (the better the oral cavity environment, the lower the DMF index) were observed. Positive effects of repeated toothbrush training on the maintenance of healthy oral cavity environment and continuous oral health management were observed, as reflected by the correct toothbrushing-related knowledge and skills.
