Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the xerostomia in the chronic severe psychiatric patients in Korea because there were few reports on xerostomia in the psychiatric patients. Methods : The subjects were 61 psychiatric patients in the mental hospital by convenience cluster sampling. A self-reported symptom questionnaire was filled out by the three researchers on the basis of medical records by the informed consent. The stimulated salivary flow rate of the patients was measured by saliva sampling. Results : The subjects consisted of 45.9% of male and 54.1% of female. High school graduation accounted for 40.0% and 20.0% did not attend the school. The majority of the patients were medicaid recipients. Schizophrenia accounted for 86.9% and most patients were long term care recipients. A total of 68.9% of the patients suffered from salivary dysfunction. The medication in schizophrenia seemed to decrease the stimulated salivary flow rate and made the patients difficult in chewing and swallowing due to xerostomia and low saliva secretion(p<0.05). Conclusions : Medication in schizophrenic patients caused the salivary dysfunction. So the collaboration between the psychiatry doctors and dental hygienists is very important to improve the salivary secretion in the schizophrenic patients. The continuous and long term care of the xerostomia will help the patients maintain the good oral hygiene.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of pilocarpine-containing chewing gum for the treatment of xerostomia and to compare the effect of pilocarpine-containing chewing gum with that of pilocarpine oral administration. The 20 subjective and objective xerostomic patients were included in this study and divided into 3 groups. Five subjects were included in gum base chewing group, 10 in pilocarpine-containing gum chewing, and 5 in pilocarpine oral administration. The author measured unstimulated whole salivary flow rate, stimulated parotid salivary flow rate, pH of resting whole saliva, viscosity of stimulated whole saliva, and subjective symptoms and discomforts using VAS(visual analogue scale) at the beginning of the experiment. And the author investigated the changes of these factors at 1, 2, 3, and 4 week after. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were significant increases in the unstimulated whole salivary flow rate in pilocarpine-containing gum chewing and pilocarpine oral administration groups. But there was no significant difference between pilocarpine-containing gum chewing and pilocarpine oral administration groups. 2. There was a significant increase in the stimulated parotid salivary flow rate in pilocarpine- containing gum chewing group. But there was no significant difference between pilocarpine- containing gum chewing and pilocarpine oral administration groups. 3. The change of salivary pH showed the increasing pattern in all groups. But there was no significant difference among groups. 4. There were no significant changes in the values of salivary viscosity in all groups through the experimental period. 5. There were significant decreases of VAS(visual analogue scale) in the degree of subjective symptoms and discomforts in pilocarpine-containing gum chewing and pilocarpine oral administration groups. But there was no significant difference between pilocarpine- containing gum chewing and pilocarpine oral administration groups.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect between job stress in jobholders and xerostomia. Methods : 250 jobholders living in Jecheon city were the subjects of this questionnaire. The questionnaire was made up of three contents and 37 items: general characteristic(13), job stress(14), degree & behavior of xerostomia(10). The data were analyzed by two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA to examine the subjects general characteristics, job stress and degree of xerostomia and were analyzed by Chi-square test to examine the subjects general characteristics, job stress and behavior of xerostomia. Results : Only 215 jobholders were evaluated due to inadequate responses. The results were as follow. 1. As general characteristic of jobholder, male(83.7%) were more than women(16.3%), 30~39 year-old(47%) in age variable, university graduation(63.7%) in the last educational background variable, 2~3 million won(31.2%) in the month average income variable, 1~5 year(33.5%) in tour of duty variable, non-smoker(47.9%) in smoking variable were most. Married(58.6%) were more than unmarried(39.5%). Alcoholic(69.8%) were more than non-alcoholic(30.2%). 2. As classification of job stress, high strain group was 28.4%, active group was 26%, low strain group was 24.2%, passive group was 21.4%. 3. Analysis of effect between general characteristic and degree & behavior of xerostomia showed smoker were statistical significantly higher than non-smoker on 'dry eat', 'Am-sal', 'Night awake', 'Slip-liq'and 'Gumcandy'(p<0.05) and showed alcoholic were statistical significantly higher than non-alcoholic on 'Dry PM', 'Night awake, $H_2O$-bed'(p<0.05). 4. Analysis of effect between job stress and degree & behavior of xerostomia showed hight strain group were statistical significantly higher than low strain group on 'Dry PM', 'Dry-day', 'Am-sal', 'Eff-life'and 'Night awake'(p<0.05). Conclusions : As high strain group were higher than other groups on degree & behavior of xerostomia, stress would be factor that have an effect on xerostomia. Thus consider and management of stress is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of xerostomia.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effect of warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat in postoperative colon cancer patients. Methods: A total of 40 participants with colon cancer who underwent colon cancer operation over 2hours were included from C University hospital in Seoul. The number of experimental group and control group is each 20 calculated by G*Power, and they were assigned by using nonequivalent control group no-synchronized design. In the experimental group, a warm scarf was applied to the neck for 120 minutes from entering the recovery room after the colorectal cancer surgery was completed. In the experimental group and the control group, xerostomia and sore throat were measured twice at 60-minute intervals. The degree of xerostomia was measured through the degree of wetness of the absorbent paper in mm, and the degree of sore throat was measured through the NRS (Numeral Rating Scale). Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from August 2018 to September 2020 and were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 21.0 Descriptive statistics, x² test, Fisher's exact test, t-test were used to determine the participant's characteristics. The effect of warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat were separately estimated by Repeated Measures ANOVA. Results: The experimental group showed significant decrease of xerostomia and sore throat as time goes (p<.001). Conclusion: Results indicate that warm scarf on xerostomia and sore throat in postoperative colon cancer patients is helpful method for relieving side effect of tracheal intubation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of an oral self-care program on oral dryness and oral health related quality of life in the elderly. Methods: The current research design isa nonequivalent control group protest-posttest design with two groups of elders from two different senior centers in D city. Tools for the research include paper of salivary absorption (WF41-1850, Whatman, Germany), 6 items for subjective oral dryness and OHIP-14 for oral health related to quality of life. The data were analyzed to test three hypotheses by using the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: The three hypotheses were significantly accepted. The subjective oral dryness score was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (t=-2.45, p=.022). Salivary absorption was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t=3.83, p<.001).Oral health related quality of life was better in the experimental group than in the control group (t=-2.11, p=.044). Conclusion: The oral self-care program has appeared to be effective on oral dryness and an oral health related quality of life in the elderly. Therefore, it can be suggested that the oral self-care program is applicable as an intervention program motivating the elderly to maintain oral health.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine the influencing factors of oral health-related quality of life in adults. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 300 adults in Seoul and Gyeonggido from June to July, 2015 by convenience sampling method. Except 19 incomplete answers, 281 data were analyzed by t test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 program. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects, health-related characteristics, whole body dry symptoms and subjective perception of dry mouth. The oral health-related quality of life was measured by Likert five points scale, and a higher score indicated a lower quality of life. Results: The oral health-related quality of life in adult varied by age, systemic diseases, oral health status, missing tooth, stress, decayed tooth, gingival disease. The oral health-related quality of life had positive correlations with the subjective perception of dry mouth and whole body dry symptoms. The subjective perception of dry mouth(${\beta}$=0.245) had the influence on the oral health-related quality of life, oral health status(${\beta}$=-0.209), gingival disease(${\beta}$=-0.151), and decayed tooth(${\beta}$=-0.146) in order. Conclusions: The oral health-related quality of life was closely related to the subjective perception of dry mouth and the oral health status. It is necessary to develop the quality of life improvement programs including oral health prevention and care program in the adults.

악성종양을 치료하는데 있어서 수술, 화학요법, 방사선 치료 등을 포함한 항암치료는 악성도의 증가를 방지할 뿐만 아니라 항암제의 독성과 용량을 줄여주는 역할을 한다. 방사선 치료의 효과는 일반적으로 수회에 걸쳐 조사시 종양이 더 효과적으로 파괴된다. 환자는 주로 두경부에 국소적으로, 때로는 전신에 걸쳐 방사선을 조사받게 된다. 그러나 방사선 요법의 부작용으로 구강건조증, pH가 낮은 타액의 생성, 구강미생물의 변화 등으로 인한 방사선 우식증과 미각 이상, 점막염 등 다양한 구강내 합병증을 동반하게 된다. 그리고 성장하고 있는 소아의 경우에는 발육 중인 치열과 지지구조들에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 치근 발육의 장애, 법랑질 형성부전, 왜소치, 무치증, 치아맹출 장애, 하악이나 상악의 저형성 등과 같은 다양한 현상이 나타날 수 있으며 이러한 현상은 비가역적이다. 특히 발생과정 중에 있는 치아는 그 발생단계에 따라 영향을 받는다. 본 증례는 치열 발육 단계에서 국소적 혹은 전신적으로 방사선 치료를 받은 어린이에서 나타난 영구치 치근 발육장애에 대해 보고하는 바이다. 이 환자들은 생후 $3{\sim}4$세 경에 악성 종양 치료를 위해 방사선 치료를 받았고 영구치 치근의 저형성, 조기 치수 폐쇄 소견을 보였다. 방사선 조사로 인한 구강환경 변화로 인해 우식발생률이 높으므로 철저한 구강 위생교육과 불소도포 등이 필요할 것이며, 짧은 치근을 가진 치아는 동요도의 증가 여부와 관리를 위해 정기적인 방사선 촬영 및 검진이 필요하다.

인구사회학적 특성과 건강행태 및 스트레스 정도에 따른 만성질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 인식도에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 20대부터 50대까지의 성인을 대상으로 분석하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 연구대상자의 만성 질환과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 인식도는 구강건강과 당뇨와의 연관성이 3.29로 가장 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 고혈압과의 연관성은 2.82로 가장 낮은 인식도를 보였다. 특히 '항고혈압제 약의 부작용으로 구강건조증, 잇몸출혈, 치유지연, 잇몸비대 등이 나타날 수 있다'라는 항목은 전체 항목에서 1.52로 가장 낮은 인식도로 나타났다. 인구사회학적특성에 따른 만성질환과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 인식도를 분석한 결과 직업에 따른 인식도 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였는데 공무원, 전문직 집단에서 가장 높은 인식도를 보였다(p=0.015). 이상의 연구 결과를 종합해볼 때 만성질환과 구강건강의 연관성에 대한 일반인들의 인식을 전환시켜야 할 필요성이 있으며, 치과진료실에서는 구강보건교육시 단순한 구강건강관리뿐만 아니라 통합적인 건강관리의 방향으로 만성질환을 포함한 전신과 구강건강과의 연관성에 대한 교육을 강화하여 수행할 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.
