본 연구는 치과병원에서 진료 시 발생하는 소음특성을 NR-곡선, PSIL에 적용하여 소음수준 및 적절한 대화거리를 산정한 결과를 제시하고자 실시하였다. 치과병원에서 치료 시 소음특성을 분석한 결과 소음에 의한 건강 보존한계 값인 60dB(A)을 초과하고 고주파 성분의 소음도가 높은 것으로 분석되었다. NR곡선에 적용하여 평가한 결과 일부 치료 시 작업장 소음기준을 초과하고 근무자와 환자 사이에 이루어지는 대화에 대한 회화방해도 수준을 분석한 결과 보통크기의 소리일 경우 0.13m~0.42m, 큰 소리일 경우 0.26m~0.85m 정도 인 것으로 분석되어 환자와 근무자 간의 정확한 의사전달을 위하여 가급적 1m 이내의 거리에서 대화가 이루어지는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 판단된다. 병원의 의료서비스 질의 향상을 도모하고 치과공포를 감소시키기 위하여 근무자에게 방음보호구를 지급하고 소음 발생원(진료 시 사용되는 치료기기) 및 수음원(환자 및 근무자)에 대한 방음대책도 필요 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는, 보호자가 바라보는 진정법의 모습과 이를 통해 보호자들이 얻고자 하는 것과 원하는 것이 무엇인지를 알고 보호자들의 높은 만족도와 능동적인 협조를 이끌어 내기 위한 목적으로 시도되었다. 2006년 7월부터 9월까지 경희대학교 병원 소아치과에 내원한 신환 보호자 168명과 의식하진정법을 경험한 환자의 보호자 50명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문지는 신환 보호자용과 진정법 경험 보호자용으로 제작하여 설문을 실시하였다. 조사결과 다음을 알 수 있었다. 1. 일반적인 의식하진정법에 대한 정보의 제공이 주로 주변 사람들에 의해 제한적이고 수동적으로 이루어 졌으며, 비전문적인 성향임을 알 수 있었고, 또한 소아치과 진료영역에서의 의식하진정법에 대한 정보의 제공이 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 2. 신환 보호자와 진정법을 경험한 환자 보호자 모두에서 환아의 공포감 감소에 가장 큰 관심을 가지고 있었다. 3. 행동 개선보다는 환아의 심리적 개선에 있어 보호자가 느끼는 만족감이 크며, 따라서 진정법 시 행동 개선의 목적 보다는 환아의 공포감 및 불안감 감소에 초점을 두어야 겠다. 4. 신환 보호자의 경우 진정법의 안정성에 대한 인식이 정립되어 있지 않았고, 진정법을 경험한 보호자의 경우 모르겠다는 것과 불안하다는 대답이 대부분을 차지하여 경험을 하였음에도 올바른 안전성에 대한 인식을 하지 못하고 있었다.

Social phobia is a mental disorder that triggers physical reactions, such as cold sweats, headaches, and panic attacks, as a result of anxiety about a particular situation. Individuals with social phobia are thought to be more sensitive to dental anxiety and may have difficulty visiting the dentist as a result. This study aimed to determine the relationship between social phobia and dental fear among college students, who are reported to have a high prevalence of social phobia. A total of 120 survey responses were analyzed. To investigate the variation in dental fear levels based on the level of social phobia, the total social phobia score was divided into two groups: 41 points or more, and 40 points or less. The disparity in dental fear scores was then analyzed using a t-test. The study found that the average score for dental fear was statistically significantly higher in the group with a total social phobia score of 41 points or more compared to the group with a total score of 40 points or less (p<0.05). Furthermore, the group that scored 41 points or higher on the social phobia scale reported experiencing symptoms such as feeling nauseous at the dentist (3.29 points), sweating upon entering the dentist (3.13 points), and feeling afraid when looking at the dentist (3.13 points). The score was high (p<0.05). Therefore, dental patients exhibiting anxiety symptoms require a comfortable treatment environment to alleviate dental fear, and safe, pain-free dental treatment techniques must be employed.

Intravenous midazolam has been frequently used for the relief of anxiety in dental treatment. This is likely the result of the sedative and anterograde amnestic properties of midazolam that are mediated through $\gamma$-Aminobutyric acid agonism. Unfortunately, Paradoxical reactions to midazolam include agitation, talkativeness, confusion, disinhibition, aggression,violent behavior, act of self-injury and need for restraints. These occur in less than 1% of all patients receiving midazolam, may occur at variable times after administration and are difficult to predict and diagnose. Two women with severe anxiety for dental treatment experienced paradoxical reactions associated with the use of intravenous midazolam. We are reviewed the management and prevention of paradoxical reactions and its different etiology.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the overall research trends and factors influencing dental fears in the last 10 years (2007-2017) and provide recommendations for future research. Methods: The literature review focused on dental fear research in Korea. Inclusion criteria of selected studies were as follows: studies that examined fear in middle school students or older, studies undertaken between 2007-2017, and studies that examined trends and factors relating to dental fears. Results: Findings from this literature review showed that the most commonly used tool for measuring dental fear was the Dental Fear Survey (DFS). A lack of trust towards the dentist increased dental fear among patients. Women managed fear better than men. Past pain experiences increased dental fear. The most frequent intervention for reducing fear was sound (41.7%). Most of the intervention studies demonstrated a reduction of fear, with the exception of interventions using ear plugs. Fear was increased in studies involving ear plugs. Conclusions: Based on the results of the study, specific measures should be taken to alleviate past pain experiences, such as the fear of anesthetic injections and sensations of the dental drill. Continuous research is needed to reduce dental fear.
