Dental bacteria can cause gum diseases, i.e. gingivitis and periodontitis, by inducing inflammation in human gingiva. Therefore, the most effective way to prevent and treat gum diseases is the control of the inflammatory reactions induced by dental bacteria. Almost all present dental care products contain anti-bacterial agents to eliminate dental bacteria. However, recent studies report that even heat-killed dental bacteria can induce the inflammation responses in oral cells. Therefore, the method using anti-bacterial agents should be improved for better anti-inflammatory effect and the effective natural anti-inflammatory substances need to be found. In addition, the mechanisms of gingival inflammation should be elucidated. In this study, we tried to find out the mechanism of the gingival inflammation and effective natural anti-inflammatory substances with human gingival epithelial cells and Prevotella intermedia which is well known as a typical dental bacteria inducing gingivitis and periodontitis. In results, Prevotell intermedia initiated the gingival inflammation response by stimulating gingival epithelial cells to release an inflammatory cytokine, IL-8. Furthermore, the inflammation by Prevotella intermedia is related to COX-2, AP-1, and TNF-${\alpha}$ pathways. Green tea extract could effectively suppress the inflammatory responses induced by Prevotella intermedia. We find out the effective natural substance for the improvement of gum diseases by studying the mechanism of the gingival inflammation induced by dental bacteria.

잇몸병(치주질환)은 한국인이 가장 많이 앓는 질환 중 하나이다. 건강보험심사평가원의 진료비 통계지표(2009년 기준)에 따르면 치주질환진료가 감기 등의 호흡기 질환 다음으로 많다고 한다. 문제는 많은 사람들이 잇몸병에 시달리고 있지만 그 심각성을 크게 인식하지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 잇몸병이 합병증을 유발하는 질병의 뿌리인데도 말이다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of job stress on oral subjective symptoms observed in office workers. A survey of office workers in the Gyeonggi-do area was conducted and data collected was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 program. The results showed that among the sub-scales of job stress, job insecurity, job demand, and positive organizational system had significant effects on dysmasesis (p<.01), gum bleeding and gum disease (p<.01), and halitosis (p<.05) as well as gum disease (p<.01), respectively. Therefore, it is considered that making an effective job stress management plan and predicting related oral subjective symptoms in office workers will help improve the oral health management of office workers and adult oral health management in general.

The attractiveness of the gingiva is determined by its color, shape, and the shape and location of the boundary between the teeth and the gingival tissue. The standards beauty, balance, and health of the gingiva are all different, but the general public would agree that a coral pink gingiva is more beautiful than black or brown gingiva. Hence, one would be able to smile more confidently in public if he or she receives a gingival pigmentation removal surgery that changes the color of black or brown gums to a beautiful pink color with relative simplicity. The color of one's gingiva varies from pale pink to deep bluish purple, depending on many health components. The most prominent among these include the vascular supply, epithelial thickness, the degree of keratinization, and the presence of pigment in the epithelium. Melanin, carotene, reduced hemoglobulin, and oxyhemoglobulin are the main pigments contributing to the normal color of the oral mucosa. The health of one's gingival tissue are essential for an attractive smile. Excessive melanin deposits in the basal and early basal layers of the epithelium stored in the form of melanosomes frequently cause pigmentation. Although there are many different procedures to remove this pigmentation, the it was removed using the Er;YSGG laser. It is my wish that, through this case study, many people

당뇨병에 걸리면 치주질환에 걸릴 위험이 크고, 일반인보다 낫기가 어렵다. 치주질환은 비용과 치료의 두려움으로 병원에 가길 꺼려한다. 그러나 방치하면 잇몸 뼈가 상하게 되고 치아가 빠져 수술로 이어지게 된다. 그러므로 당뇨병환자라면 치과에 정기적으로 내원하여 잇몸병은 조기에 발견하고 치료하는 것이 중요하다.

많은 당뇨병환자가 눈, 혈관, 발에 합병증이 생기 않도록 혈당조절을 포함해 많은 신경을 쓰는 반면, 치주질환으로 인한 치아상실이나 염증 등은 심각하게 받아들이지 않고 방치한다. 나이가 들면 으레 치아가 빠지는 것이려니, 잇몸이 안 좋아지는 것이려니 하고 넘어가는 것이다. 당뇨병환자가 혈당조절을 하기위한 요소 중 식사요법이 중요한데, 치주질환을 방치해 치아가 빠지거나 잇몸 염증이 심하면 음식을 제대로 씹을 수가 없어 혈당관리가 어려워진다. 또한 치주질환으로 치료를 받고자 해도 일반 치과에서 받기에는 '당뇨'가 걸리고, 그렇다고 종합병원으로 가기에는 절차가 다소 복잡하기도 하다. 이에 한 치과에서 당뇨인들이 보다 쉽고 빠르게 치주질환문제를 해결할 수 있도록 당뇨치아클리닉을 개설해 찾아가보았다.
