The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between depression, stress, self-esteem, oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14) in middle-aged women. Data were as collected by self-reported questionnaires from 205 middle-age women. The instruments were the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D), Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument (BEPSI), Self-Esteem Scale (SES). The data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression with IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21.0. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis found that oral health impact profile (OHIP) was significantly associated with depression (r=-0.560, p<0.001), stress (r=-0.595, p<0.001), self-esteem (r=0.522, p<0.001). The OHIP was explained 39.4% by stress (${\beta}$=-0.362, p<0.001), self-esteem (${\beta}$=0.203, p=0.009) using multiple regression analysis. These results indicate that the intervention program of oral health promotion for community-middle- aged women is needed from now on.

This study attempted to identify the entrance exam stress levels in high school students and analyze the relationship this entrance exam stress and perceived oral health status. Self-administered survey was conducted in total 304 students attending in academic high schools in Bucheon. For analysis, SPSS was used to perform t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result of the study, the entrance exam stress level of academic high school students was 2.71. The level of sub-factors were that tension for exam/poor result was highest by 3.08 and the next were future uncertainty (2.81), parents pressure (2.56), and insufficient free time (2.52). The group with high entrance exam stress showed significantly high perceived degrees of temporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Among sub-factors of stress, the group with high tension for exam/poor result stress had significantly high perceived degrees of dental caries, teporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Because perception on oral health issues increased with high entrance exam stress in high school students, it is necessary to seek some ways to decrease oral health problems even though entrance exam stress is intensified. To do so, it is inferred that it will be very important to promote oral health education to develop ability of high school students to practice correct oral management method.

This study was conducted to examine the relations of oral health relevance to disabilities according to the relationship types between them and their guardian. The guardians were surveyed using self-writing questionnaires regarding the cohesion and communication process, and the oral health of disabled was analyzed by evaluation table. Total 78 copies were analyzed. SPSS win. 24.0 statistical program was used and the significance level was verified at .05. There was significance in the communication process(p<.01) according to the type of relationship with the disabled and their guardians. In oral health of the disabled according to the type of relationship with their guardians, there was significance in DMFT index(p<.01), first molar soundness(p<.01) and Pocket depth(p<.01).Therefore, the mother had a positive effect for the disabled on most items such as cohesion, communication process, and oral health. However, it is expected that policy support and research to increase the interests in oral health care management are needed for personal assistants, who showed a low impact on the cohesion, and communication process with disabled persons, and spouses, who showed a low influence on oral health of persons with disabilities.

구강보건은 상병에 이환 되어 있지 않고, 정신 작용과 사회생활에 장애가 되지 않는 구강조직 및 장기의 상태이고, 이러한 구강건강을 보전 내지 증진시키려는 계속적인 노력과정이 구강보건이라고 정의할 수 있다. 한편 교육에 대한 정의는 시대나 사회에 따라 다르고, 보는 사람의 입장이나 가치관에 따라 다양하다. 그러나 대체적으로 교육은 인간의 행동을 계획적으로 바람직한 방향으로 변화시키고자하는 인간형성의 작용이라 말할 수 있겠다. 즉 목적 달성과정이라고 할 수 있는 것이다.

에이즈 환자에게서 흔히 나타나는 구강 내 병변은 충치, 구강칸디다증, 구강 모상 백반증(oral hairy leukoplakia),재발성 아프타성 구내염(recurrent aphthous stomatitis),재발성 포진성 구내염(recurrent herpetic stomatitis),치주염, 카포시 육종, 비호치킨성 림프종 등이다. 이 중 에이즈 환자에게 비교적 특징적인 병변은 구강 칸디다증, 입안털백색판증, 카포시 육종 등이지만 일반인들에서 흔히 관찰되는 충치라고 하더라도 치주염이나 농양으로 빠르게 진행한다면 에이즈를 의심해 보아야 하며, 반복적인 아프타성 궤양이나 포진성 궤양이 유달리 크고 오래 지속된다면 역시 에이즈의 가능성을 생각해 봐야 한다. 구강 병소는 에이즈 환자에게서 흔히 발견되며 이 질환의 초기 상태를 제시할 수 있다는데 의의가 있다.

This study aims to determine the effect of e-cigarettes on oral health by investigating the association between the use of different tobacco products and oral health among Korean adults aged 19 years and older. Data from the 2017 Community Health Survey were used for the study. Respondents were divided into four groups: non-smokers, cigarette smokers, e-cigarette smokers, and users of both products. A sample of 228,357 respondents was selected for analysis. Twenty-four questionnaires with missing values (non-response or refusal) were excluded from the sample. A regression analysis was performed with oral as the dependent variable. A multivariate regression analysis showed a significant difference between cigarette smokers and users of both products when compared to the non-smokers. However, e-cigarette users showed a significant when the variables were correlated with age and gender. There was no significant difference in other dependent variables in a multivariate regression analysis. The results of the study indicated no association between e-cigarette use and oral health. More research is needed on factors such as amount and intensity of e-cigarette use.

구강은 신체의 관문과도 같은 기관으로 구강 안은 신체 다른 부위의 상태를 알려줄 수 있는 좋은 거울과도 같다. 에이즈 환자도 마찬가지이다. 에이즈는 면역체계의 기능을 약화시키는 질환으로 에이즈 환자에게서는 건강한 사람에게선 보기 힘든 질병들이 나타나기도 하고 일반인에게 나타나는 질병은 더 심하게 증상이 나타나기도 한다. 구강에서 나타나는 이러한 징후들은 HIV에서 AIDS로 진행되는 증후군으로 진단에 활용되기도 한다.
