  • This study tried to understand influence of water fluoridation program on oral health status and get the basic data of water fluoridation program in the future. Sangdang-gu in Cheongju City, fluoridated community and Manan-gu in Anyang City, non-fluoridated community were the surveyed area of the study. And from July 3, 2003 to July 22, 2003, using questionnaire, we surveyed opinions of parents of the fifth and sixth grade students of C elementary school in Sangdang-gu, Cheongju City and A elementary school in Manan-gu, Anyang City about water fluoridation program, and made an oral examination on the fifth and sixth grade students. The results are as follows : 1. DMFT index was lower for Cheongju, fluoridated community with Cheongju 1.69, Anyang 2.11(P = .010). 2. DMFT rate was lower for Cheongju, fluoridated community with Cheongju 6.72%, Anyang 7.94%. 3. Health level of the first molar was higher for Cheongju, fluoridated community with Cheongju 95.54%, Anyang 94.10%(P = .002). This study intends to understand the effects of fluoridation program on oral status by analyzing the effects of water fluoridation program and present basic materials for improving oral health. Improving national oral health is thought to be associated with expense retrenchment of oral health insurance financial. So it may need to extend using tap water to all the area of the country and additionally establish confidence through an active public relations and education of water fluoridation program.

  • The fluoride work management of water supply conveyance has been recommending by the WHO to prevent of tooth decay. Fluoridation of public water supplies has been practiced since 1945. The present approximately 67 countries reported community water fluoridation benefiting many cities. At our country, Fluoridation began in 1981 in Chongiu and Jinhea. In 2002, approximately 40 cities have large populations consuming fluoridated water. But Chongiu stopped fluoridation water works. Few public health measures have been accorded greater clinical and laboratory research, epidemiological study, clinical trials, and public attention than has water fluoridation. In this study, chemical analysis of Sodium Silicofluoride and Fluoride Feed Equipment analyzed. And this study proposed to Fluoride concentration experimental (lab. and field exp.), economics analysis, prevention effect. This study can be decided on the concentration of fluoride injection in Water Fluoridation. Hereafter, this study will be useful in safety and economics of Water Fluoridation in the future.

  • Fluoride use is the best and widespread method for dental caries prevention. The aim of this study was to investigate experience and recognition of fluoride for caries prevention focusing on majors in one university. Four hundred twenty-four university students were selected by convenience sampling with informed consent and answered the questionnaire by self recording type. The subjects except dental hygiene students knew about purpose of fluoride use (84.6%), over the count fluoride rinse (63.2%), fluoride toothpaste (61.5%), professional fluoride application (56.4%) and water fluoridation (43.6%). They experienced over the count fluoride rinse (67.5%), school fluoride rinse (45.3%), professional fluoride application (30.8%), fluoride toothpaste (28.2%) and water fluoridation (12.0%). The main information paths about fluoride were university lectures among dental hygiene students and internet and mass media, followed by nurse-teachers among non dental hygiene students. The ratios of intention to use fluoride were: 67.8% in dental hygiene, 34.9% in health, 51.4% in non-health in case of professional fluoride application for oneself, 93.1% in dental hygiene, 48.0% in health, 50.4% in non-health in case of professional fluoride application for their children, 79.0% in dental hygiene, 51.3% in health, 55.8% in non-health in case of water fluoridation. The subjects to experience and recognize fluoride for caries prevention had more positive intention to use fluoride. The answers of students majoring in health or medical care were not different from non-health, except dental hygiene. Dental professionals should try to let the public know about fluoride use for caries prevention through mass media and internet as well as individual education in dental clinics.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate caries preventive effects of a school-based weekly mouthrinsing program with a 0.2% sodium fluoride solution for five years at elementary school in Yangsan city, which were conducted for 330 children of elementary school from 2000 to 2005. The surveyed data was analyzed with SPSS statistical package. The obtained results were as follows; 1. DMF rate was 58.4% before the mouthrinsing program in 2000 and 48.3% after the program in 2005. DMF rate in 2005 decreased by 10.1% compared to DMF rate in 2000. 2. DT index was 2.46 before the mouthrinsing program and 1.70 after the program. DT index in 2004 decreased by 0.76 compared to DT index in 2000. 3. FT index was 0.55 before the mouthrinsing program and 0.37 after the program. Filled teeth due to decay after the program decreased by 0.18 compared to filled teeth before the program. 4. DMFT score was 2.61 before the mouthrinsing program and 1.64 after the program. DMFT score in 2004 decreased by 0.97 compared to DMFT score in 2000. 5. PHP index was 12.12 before the mouthrinsing program and 5.95 after the program. PHP index in 2005 decreased by 6.17 compared to PHP index in 2000.

  • To find out influence of water fluoridation program on the economic benefit effect, this study analyzed comparatively dental treatment indicators obtained from dental clinics at Sangdang-gu in Chenongju City, fluoridated community and Manan-gu in Anyang City, non-fluoridated community, from January 1, 2003 to the end of June, and the results are as follows: 1. If water fluoridation program is carried out in Anyang, non-fluoridated community, the number of treatment from caries and disease of tissues around dental pulp and root apex from age 6 to 18 for the first half of year 2003 is expected to decrease by 1,272, 636 for low estimation, and 1,908 for high estimation. And the treatment cost is expected to decrease by 40,888,000 Wons, 20,444,000 Wons for low estimation, and 61,333,000 Wons for high estimation. 2. Assuming that water fluoridation program is spread to all over the country, the number of treatment per year is expected to decrease by 2,492,018, 1,246,009 for low estimation, and 3,738,027 for high estimation. And the treatment cost is expected to decrease by 80,105,075,000 Wons, 40,052,537,000 Wons for low estimation and 120, 157,612,000 Wons for high estimation respectively. 3. For Yeong-un water supply management office which has 48,925 water supply personnel, the benefit/cost rate was 2.9 times, and for Jibuk water supply management office which has 239,751 water supply personnel, the benefit/cost rate was 9.0 times. As the water supply personnel increased, the cost increase of water fluoridation program was little and as the scale got large, the economic effect was very large. Improving national oral health is thought to be associated with expense retrenchment of oral health insurance financial. So it may need to extend using tap water to all the area of the country and additionally establish confidence through an active public relations and education of water fluoridation program.
