본 연구는 치과 임상의 예방진료실에서 임상예방진료를 받은 환자의 구강건강인식도, 지식도, 실천도, 만족도를 비교분석하였다. 구강건강지식, 인식, 실천은 임상예방진료 전후 유의한 차이가 있었다. 임상예방진료프로그램 중 가장 만족도가 높은 것은 계획단계의 개별 예방계획과 실행단계의 PTC였고, 그 다음으로 평가단계의 평가결과 알림이었다. 만족 이유는 의료진이 친절해서가 가장 높았고, 재방문 점수는 10점 만점에 9.34점, 지인 추천 점수는 9.75점이었다. 지인 추천과 정의 상관관계가 있는 것은 임상예방진료프로그램 중 치아확인, 사진촬영, 계획, PMTC, TBI, 평가였다. 위의 결과를 통해 치위생과정을 근거한 임상예방진료프로그램은 환자의 구강건강에 대한 지식, 인식, 실천에 긍정적으로 효과가 있었고, 임상예방진료프로그램에 대한 만족도가 높아 치과 재방문과 지인 추천에 긍정적인 효과가 있었다. 따라서 치위생과정을 근거한 임상예방진료프로그램을 예방진료실에서 적극 활용하여 널리 적용되기를 바란다.

Background: In this study, we tried to comprehensively explore clinical dental hygienist's experience of a prevention-based incremental oral health care program, which was pilot-operated by dental clinics, define prevention-based incremental oral health care as experienced in the field, and identify factors to be considered. Methods: This study conducted a focus group interview with five dental hygienists who participated in an ongoing oral management pilot project in 2016. The interview was conducted by a researcher, and the co-research team attended as progress assistants and recorded characteristics of the participants, main dictations, and non-verbal characteristics. All interviews were recorded and underwent thematic analysis to examine the questions of the study as the main axis. Results: As a result of the study, 65 meaningful statements were extracted by code, integrated into 24 sub-categories, and structured into 11 categories. Finally, four keywords were drawn: characteristics, facilitating factors, conflicting factors, and improvement measures for prevention-based incremental oral health care. Regarding prevention-based incremental oral health care in dental clinics, dental hygienists were highly aware of the physical and mental burdens of personalized treatment and education for each individual. They were responsible for the patient and for facilitating changes in the behavior of the client, leading to professional satisfaction. The dental team's cooperation and supportive attitude were found essential to continue oral health care in the dental clinic. Conclusion: Through dental team-based treatment philosophy sharing and collaboration, it is possible to provide prevention-based incremental oral health care in dental clinics. In future, it is necessary to develop a system for establishing a sustainable preventative management system for public health promotion.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to reduce the burden on dental hygienists in performing dental hygiene processes in the clinic. This study systematically analyzed dental hygiene problems and dental hygiene planning according to the oral condition of patients by applying an oral health care program based on the dental hygiene process. Methods: This study analyzed influential factors of 17 dental hygiene problems and 12 dental hygiene plans according to the oral health index and charts of 185 patients. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB No. 1041449-201801-HR-003) of Silla University. The frequency of dental hygiene problems and dental hygiene planning was analyzed and correlations among the oral health index, dental hygiene problems, and dental hygiene planning were analyzed. Results: The higher the bleeding on probing score was, the more scaling was planned. The higher the calculus rate was, the more air-jet and jaw joint disorder prevention education was planned. The higher the O'Leary index was, the more dietary education and air-jet was planned. The higher the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index was, the more air-jet and jaw joint disorder prevention education was planned. The higher the Periodontal Screening and Recording index was, the more scaling and professional tooth cleaning was planned (p<0.05).
