The purpose of this study is to make formulated examination and analysis about major two factors of dental hygienic students' satisfaction at clinical training, i.e. the contents of clinical training and their duties satisfaction, so that it can provide a basic reference material for more efficient clinical training and education. This study conducted a questionnaire survey for 427 students who were taken via simple random sampling from sophomore and junior dental hygienic students, who already experienced in clinical training courses, at some universities(and colleges) in Metropolitan and province areas. The data collected from this survey were analyzed using SPSS WIN 11.5, in parallel with t-test, one-way ANOVA and ${\chi}^2$(Chi-square) test. It was found that our students didn't feel so much satisfied at clinical training(satisfaction level = 3.34). Overall, they didn't show any significant satisfaction with the contents of training and the experiences in clinical training duties. Our dental hygiene students showed relatively low satisfaction with the contents of clinical training as well as satisfaction at clinical training duties, which ie that current clinical training in dental hygienics still remain at the level of simple assistance for dental treatment.

There are 82 dental hygiene departments and clinical training institutes across the country with a very wide range of clinical practice content and evaluation methods, making standardization difficult. Therefore, there is a need to establish a standard protocol outlining clinical practice content and evaluation methods for systematic and efficient operation of clinical practice. Thus, this study attempted to propose such a protocol for standardization of dental hygiene clinical practice in dental clinics and hospitals to examine the contents of clinical practice by reviewing relevant literature, and relating it to professional practice within the dental hygienic curriculum to facilitate enhancement of expertise. Clinical practice content was extracted from 74 cases, and was consisted of classifying mandatory and optional clinical practice, training time, and activity methods for each component. To standardize effective clinical practice, it is necessary to organize the components acquired in the course of clinical dentistry training in line with their arrangement on each university's curriculum, in order to learn all components step by step. To do this, it is necessary to present a standardized clinical practice protocol and a organic cooperation between educational institutions and clinical training institutions.
