연구목적: 본 연구는 포괄치위생관리(Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Care; CDHC) 과정 적용에 따른 스케일링 경험 대상자의 구강건강신념과 만족도를 확인하고자 수행하였다. 연구방법: 2020년 7월 1일부터 2020년 9월 20일까지 치과 병·의원에서 스케일링을 받은 대상자 182명의 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 자료는 SPSS Statistics 22.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, chi-square, t-test, One way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis를 실시하였다. 연구결과: 구강건강행태는 CDHC 적용 그룹에서 칫솔, 치약 외 구강관리용품 사용 92.4%(p<0.001), 구강관리를 위한 정기적인 치과 방문이 67.4%였다(p<0.001). 일반적 특성에 따른 구강건강신념은 CDHC 적용 그룹에서 연령 '50-65세'가 2.41로 가장 높았고, 사후검정 결과 '20-29세'와 유의한 차이가 있었다(p <0.001). CDHC 적용 그룹에서 구강건강행태에 따른 구강건강신념은 스케일링 주기 '3개월'이 가장 높았다(p<0.05). CDHC 적용 그룹의 구강건강신념 하위 요소인 유익성(p <0.01)과 중요성(p<0.05)이 높을수록 만족도와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: CDHC 적용이 스케일링 경험 대상자들의 구강건강신념과 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. CDHC 과정 적용은 구강건강신념과 만족도를 높이는 매개로써 임상에 더욱 확산하여야 할 것이다.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the key components and tools for Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Care (CDHC) among dental hygienists and provide foundational data for widespread implementation in dental institutions. Methods: A third Delphi survey involving experts derived the CDHC components and materials. Dental hygienists' characteristics and the CDHC application status were analyzed for frequency. The perceived need for and willingness to apply the CDHC components based on general characteristics were assessed using t-tests. Results: The results of the Delphi survey identified the following CDHC components: 11 for medical history; three, dental history; five, oral hygiene practices; seven, dental conditions; three, occlusion conditions; six, periodontal conditions; and, three, other examinations. Planning included 3 items for healthy gums and 4 for gingivitis and mild periodontitis. Evaluation included 7 items for mild periodontitis, 5 for patient education, and totally 27 CDHC-related materials. Dental hygienists' needs and willingness varied, with higher levels among those in clinics, university graduates, those in counseling or managerial roles, team leaders or those at higher positions, and those with >6 years of experience (p<0.05). Conclusions: The Delphi survey identified the CDHC clinical application process, confirming the strong desire of dental hygienists to apply it in practice.

Objectives: This study aims to conduct in-depth research on the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) with the application of a comprehensive dental hygiene care (CDHC) process, and provide basic data for the wide application of CDHC. Methods: From May 8, 2021 to September 24, 2021, mixed-methods research was conducted in 36 patients with periodontal diseases. A paired samples t-test was used to analyze the quantitative research data using IBM SPSS program(ver. 22.0; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and qualitative research data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Results: With NSPT applying the CDHC process, the perception of periodontal health and self-efficacy of periodontal healthcare were increased (p<0.001). Presence of gingivitis, probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing rate, presence of subgingival calculus, and dental plaque index were reduced (p<0.001). Based on 195 meaningful statements, 26 concepts, 12 sub-themes, and 5 themes , , , and were drawn. Conclusions: The perception of periodontal health and the self-efficacy were improved, and substantial change in the clinical index. The CDHC application allowed the study participants to perceive the importance of dental care and professionalism of dental hygienists.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to provide evidence-based data for the expected professional impact of dental hygienists, and to apply and disclose the comprehensive dental hygiene care process through an in-depth analysis of their scaling experience and investigation of the importance of an evidence-based scaling work performance. Methods: The data were collected from June 3, 2019 to October 3, 2019 by conducting in-depth individual interviews on 10 dental hygienists who are working in dental clinics and hospitals by region. The data were analyzed by using the grounded theory methodology, which is a field of qualitative research method. Results: Study results showed that the core category derived from the paradigm model and change process in this study was 'a process of becoming a mature professional outside practical work'. Conclusions: In this study, the participants were able to gain a sense of occupational accomplishment as dental hygienists by performing scaling based on the comprehensive dental hygiene care (CDHC) process, and to advance into professionals through continuous efforts and research in order to enhance their job competencies.

Objectives: This study surveyed the application of Comprehensive Dental Hygiene Care (CDHC), based on non-surgical periodontal therapy within the educational curricula of Korean universities and examined whether they recognized the need for CDHC. Methods: This study analyzed data from professors of dental hygiene practicum related subjects in 75 Korean universities. The collected data were analyzed using a Chi-square test, a Mann-Whitney U-test, and a Kruskal Wallis test via SPSS (Ver. 21.0). Results: First, the application scope of CDHC was higher in four-year universities than three-year ones with the scope of several characteristics increasing along with enrollment quota. The application scope of dental hygiene plans and actions increased with the number of patient practices in terms of periodontal evaluations. Second, the needs of the dental hygiene courses were more than 4 points in all characteristics. Although four-year universities exhibited higher points than three-year ones, there was no significant difference found except other test. Finally, all universities based their dental hygiene courses on case histories, oral and maxillofacial information, hard tissue modules, periodontal issues, and other tests, with needs also being high. Meanwhile, the application scope of the dental hygiene course evaluations was lowest in all characteristics. Conclusions: There were no significant differences in dental hygiene curricula among the universities. However, highly qualified and standardized educational courses and lectures should be developed by the Korean evaluation center for dental hygiene curricula using various studies as the basis of theory and practical classes, the total number of terms, number of case studies used, number of students per class, ratio of students to professor, and so on.
