  • The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of oral health promotion program in a group of 9~18-year-old children and adolescents living in four orphanages in Dong-gu, Daejeon. The program was based on oral disease prevention program including oral health education, fluoride application and scaling every six months. Oral health status of total 109 orphans was examined by one dentists who were trained in 2010 Korean National Oral Health Survey. Dental caries index, community periodontal index and modified patient hygiene performance index (M-PHP) were checked using dental unit chair. Child oral health impact profile (COHIP) and subjective oral health recognition survey were carried out. Compared with data of 2010 national sample, the mean of decayed, missing and filled teeth showed no difference between the subjects and test values, but the means of decayed teeth, decayed surface, toothbrushing frequency of the subjects showed to become worse with advancing years in spite of oral health promotion program. COHIP, subjective oral health status showed lower than test values, too. In M-PHP and Calculus index, the subjects showed better by periodic oral health education and scaling. We suggest that oral health promotion program for orphans include oral disease treatment program as well as preventive program to improve oral health of orphans efficiently. And, oral health promotion program has to be connected with psychological support for improving quality of life of orphans.

  • 초봄에는 엄마 품을 처음으로 떠나 유치원이나 초등학교로 입학한 병아리 친구들을 볼 수 있다. 어른들이 보기에는 인생의 한 통과의례로 볼 수도 있지만 어린이들 입장에서는 심리적으로 큰 스트레스를 받을 수 있으며 건강에도 문제가 생길 수 있다. 단체 생활을 하므로 운동량이 많아지고 다른 친구들과의 접촉이 많아지므로 호흡기 질환에 걸리는 빈도가 잦아질 수 있다. 치과적인 측면에서도 취학기 아동은 치아 관리에 있어 중요한 시기이다. 만 6세부터 이갈이가 시작되어 평생 간직해야 할 영구치가 나기 시작하고, 유치원이나 학교에서 급식을 할 경우에는 스스로 올바르게 이를 닦을 줄 알아야 하며, 친구들과의 놀이가 지나치면 치아 외상을 입는 경우도 많아지는 시기이기 때문이다.
