지금부터 81년전, 한국 최초의 치과의사로 치과의원을 개업한 함석태, 동경서 일본치과 의학전문학교를 졸업한 그는 1914년 총독부 치과의사 면허 1호로 등록, 서울 삼각정에서 함석태 치과의원을 개업했다. 1925년 한성치과의사회를 조직하고 초대회장을 지낸후 기록이 끊긴 함석태는 한국치의학의 개척자로 꼽을 수 있다.

This study aimed to investigate parents' and dentists' perceptions of the national oral health screening for infants and children (OHS), and evaluate the dentists' accuracy of analyzing the results of OHS. A questionnaire survey was conducted, face-to-face or online, for 90 parents of children who received OHS in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Yonsei University Dental Hospital and 100 dentists working at local clinic or university dental hospital from May to October 2021. Most parents and dentists were aware of the importance of OHS, and approximately 96.7% of parents were satisfied with OHS. The requirements of parents and dentists about OHS were different. The reasons for having difficulties in explaining parents after OHS and the opinions on appropriate period and number of OHS were disagreed between pediatric dentists and general dentists. Regardless of dentists' major, work experience, elapsed period after taking online education program, the accuracy of the examination result was low. In this study, various opinions of parents and dentists on OHS were collected. Efforts should be made to enhance the oral health of infants and children by considering the requirements of parents and dentists and improving the accuracy of examination results.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of dental hygienists' perceptions of dental organizational culture and professional identity on organizational commitment. A survey was conducted with 310 dental hygienists working in dental hospitals and dental offices. If dental hygienists experience organizational cultures as having different degrees of organizational commitment, then the type of organizational culture and commitment may be important variables in understanding and reducing the turnover rate of dental hygienists and improving workplace performance. Efforts to form a healthy and positive organizational culture may therefore be necessary. The organizational culture most recognized by the dental hygienist was hierarchical culture (3.39) and the least recognized was task-orientated culture (2.71). The professional identity of the dental hygienist was 3.75 and the organizational commitment was 2.98. Correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between dental organization culture type, professional dental hygienist identity, and organizational commitment. As a result, professional identity and organizational commitment showed positive(+) correlation with innovation oriented culture and relationship oriented culture. Among the organizational culture types, relationship-orientated culture (p<0.001) and innovation-orientated culture (p=0.006) were significant influences on organizational commitment, and professional identity did not have a significant influence. The regression model was found to be statistically appropriate (F=11.857, p<0.001) and the model explaining power was 14.9%. These results suggest that efforts to create a relationship-orientated culture and an innovation-orientated culture and to reduce the hierarchical culture can be a strategy to enhance the organizational commitment and the professional identity of dental hygienists.

The purposes of this study was to confirm the current issues of workforce policy of dental auxiliary personnel in Korea. The literature review and data collection were conducted in terms of the auxiliary personnel supply, regional distribution, legal works, working environment. Despite the rapid increase in the number of dental hygienists, the number of active dental hygienists is less than half of the total, and the dental clinics still experience the shortage. Considering the dental hygienist's work, the available dental auxiliary personnel for the dental assistance is limited. The proportion of dental hygienists is concentrated in large cities, and the ratio of dental clinics composed of only dental hygienists is high. Thus, it is essential to look for a plan to solve the disparity. The criterion for judging the legality of the works is ambiguous because a large portion of dental hygienist's work is not specified in the Medical Technicians Act. The job life is also shortened, and occupational profession and satisfaction are lowered. Thus, job burnout is accelerating. The difference between the legal works and the practiced works of dental hygienist and the conflict between the personnel might be due to the lack of utilization plans for the dental personnel at the government level. Therefore, the government should establish the roles of dental hygienist in accordance with the demands of the dental health service, institutionalize the necessary policies accordingly, and make efforts to establish plans to improve the relevant laws and utilize the manpower appropriately.

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions, precedent tasks, positive and negative effects, and expandable professional tasks regarding the inclusion of dental hygienists (DHs) in the category of medical personnel. This study involved a survey of 259 DHs and 128 dentists. The findings were as follows: 94.2% of DHs and 46.9% of dentists were aware of inclusion in the category of medical personnel; 95.0% of DHs and 64.1% of dentists supported the idea; and 84.9% of DHs and 51.6% of dentists recognized its legitimacy. As for precedent tasks for inclusion in the category of medical personnel, both DHs and dentists scored high points in professional consciousness in the area of occupation. Both DHs and dentists scored the highest points in the quality management of DH education and the lowest points in the unification of school systems in the area of institution. In the area of society, DHs scored high points in the persuasion of the central government, whereas dentists scored high points in collaboration among concerned organizations. Regarding the positive effects of inclusion in the category of medical personnel, both DHs and dentists scored the highest points in the expanded perception of DHs. As for its negative effects, DHs scored high points in the aggravation of salary increase, whereas dentists scored high points in the aggravation of salary increase. Regarding expandable professional tasks after the inclusion of DHs in the category of medical personnel, the management of independent periodontal care programs recorded the highest percentage both in DHs and dentists. These findings highlight the need for adequate discussions about the meanings of the inclusion of DHs in the category of medical personnel and will hopefully contribute to the rational adjustment and legalization of DHs' works with regard to their inclusion in the category of medical personnel.

치과임상에 있어서 약제, 재료, 기구 및 기타 부대시설과 치료실 환경은 오랫동안에 걸쳐 현금에 와서 놀라운 발전을 이룩하였음에도 치과의사가 시술중 받게되는 위해의 가능서은 아직도 여러곳에 상존하고 있는 실정이다. 의사가 늘 갖고 또 자신이 느껴야 되는 책임감에서 오는 긴장, 기계에서 오는 소음이 미치는 신체적영향 특히 청력과 관계되는 점 및 각종약제의 부작용 및 중독증, 그리고 치료중 예기치 않게 발생될 수 있는 환자로 부터오는 각종 감염, 도한 치과의사의 특수한 치료자세로부터 생기는 습관적인 정형외과적 문제와 정신적 육체적으로 겪게되는 격무로부터 오는 전신피로등의 문제를 어쩔수 없이 또는 치과의사 자신의 부주의로 당하고 있는 실례가 많다. 저자는 이 점에 대하여 위해가 생기는 문제를 항목별로 기술하면서 문헌적 고찰과 말레이시아의 치과의사 164명으로부터 설문을 통하여 수집한 사실의 통계를 분류하여 정리하고 그 예방 및 개선의 방법을 제시하면서 이는 치과의사뿐 아니라 종사자 전원이 숙지하여야 할 사실로 강조하였으며 가장 이상적인 치료실내의 치과의사용 의자를 고안하고 그 구조에 대하여 설명 하였다.

오늘날 치과의사수의 증가와 사회정세의 변화등에 따라 치과병원의 경영은 매우 어려운 상태라고 생각된다. 근면하고 유능한 Staff만 있으면 원활한 경영이 가능하던 시대는 지나가고 환자층에 대해 계획적이고 System화된 Approach가 필요하게 된 시대가 왔다. 우리가 연재하고자하는 목적은 치과병원을 성공적으로 경영하기 위한 치과의 marketing 개념을 어떻게 실무에 활용할 것인가를 참고로 하는데 목적이 있지 치과병원 경영의 개념론이나 경영의 교과서는 결코 아닌만큼 스스로 자신에 맞는 Marketing을 입안하는 것이 무엇보다도 중요하다고 생각된다. 본 연재물의 원제는 미국 ADA가 제안한 "Dental Marketing Planner"로 신규 개원의나 기존 개원치과의사들에게 치과경영에 관해서 조금이라도 이해의 폭을 넓혔으면 하는 기대로 편집된 것을 (주)신흥이 要點만 발췌 제공한 것을 4,5회로 나누어 連載할 예정이다.

이 연구는 미국 치과위생사의 역사를 역할변화의 관점에서 고찰한 것으로, '전문 조직', '교육 제도', '면허 제도', '역할과 업무범위', '의무와 윤리' 등 5개의 범주에 따라 미국치과위생사가 전문직이 되기 위해 어떤 과정을 거쳤는지 고찰하였다. 미국치과위생사는 그들의 사회적 조직화를 위해 미국치과위생사협회를 결성하였으며, 교육 연한은 2년 과정에서 석사 과정까지 증대되었다. 치과위생사 면허는 1952년에 미국 전 주에서 발급되었으며, 현재는 전문치과위생사자격증 등이 제안되고 있다. 업무범위는 구강보건교육과 치면세마를 시작으로 예방치과처치, 치주처치, 일부 수복치료, 마취 등까지 확대되었다. 이 연구는 전 세계 중 최초로 치과위생사 양성제도가 결성된 미국의 치과위생사가 전문직 역할을 수립해나가는 과정을 분석함으로써 각 국의 치과위생사 제도와 비교할 수 있는 기초자료를 제시한 데 의의가 있다고 사료된다.
