Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental fear experienced among Korean adolescents and to identify the relevant factors. Materials and Methods: In order to compare the level of dental fear depending on the subjects' previous experience, descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Gender- and grade-dependent evaluation was performed according to the presence of their previous dental visit and dental fear. Subjective oral health status was also investigated. In order to determine the factors affecting dental fear, logistic regression analysis was performed. Result: Among the total of 333 subjects who had experienced dental fear, females were found to experience 1.766 times greater dental fear than males (P=0.007). The worse subjective perception of their oral health was associated with increase in the experience of dental fear by 1.245-fold (P=0.047). Conclusion: The dental fear was likely to be formed during the visit to the dentist's office or through previous experience of dental treatment. Therefore in order to reduce the fear associated with dental treatment in adolescents, establishemnt of a proper environment in the dental clinic and a patient management program are necessitated.

This study is conducted on 1,725 elderly people over 65 years of age using 2018 data obtained from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) data. In this study, an analysis is performed considering the general characteristics of the elderly and their oral health status (authoring discomfort, speech problems, etc.) to confirm the relationship between the elderly's unmet dental experience and depressive experience. The results of this study showed that depressive experiences by the elderly resulted in unmet dental medical experiences, and it was also found that the income level and the complaint of chewing discomfort had an effect. Based on these results, it is believed that oral health policies should be developed to improve the unmet dental medical experience by considering the socio-economic level of the elderly and depressive experiences. This policy development is expected to lead not only to the improvement of oral health for the elderly, but also to improve the quality of life for the elderly through health promotion.

본 연구는 디지털 구강스캐너 사용 경험에 따른 치과위생사의 인지도 및 선호도에 대한 변화를 융합연구를 통해 파악하고자 하였으며, 부산광역시와 경상 남 북도 지역의 치과위생사를 대상으로 온라인 설문에 의해 수집된 자료를 SPSS 24.0 프로그램을 통해 분석하였다. 디지털 구강스캐너 사용경험이 있을수록 디지털 구강스캐너의 인지도와 선호도가 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 디지털 구강스캐너 사용경험은 디지털 구강스캐너 임상적용 경험과 디지털 구강스캐너 임상적용 경험은 디지털 구강스캐너 인지도와 디지털 구강스캐너의 인지도는 디지털 구강스캐너의 선호도와 정적 상관이 나타났다. 결국 치과위생사의 디지털 구강스캐너 임상적용 경험이 있을수록 그 인지도 및 선호도가 높아져 치과위생사의 업무 능력이 향상될 것으로 기대됨에 따라 디지털 구강스캐너 관련 지속적인 교육과 학습이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Objectives: Dental implants are one treatment method for tooth loss. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of experience and intention for dental implants and related factors among elderly. Methods: The participants were 244 elderly residing in rural areas with age over 65 in Samhoeup, Yeongamgun and Jeollanamdo, Korea. Chi-square tests, t-tests, and a multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the factors influencing the experience and intention of implants. Results: Many elderlies residing in rural areas rural elderly had experienced tooth loss (83.6%). The proportion of dental implant experience was 30.9% and intention to receive implants was 57.8%. The odds ratio (OR) for experience of implants was significantly higher for participants with a lower number of chronic diseases (0: OR=12.48, 95% CI=2.12-73.38, 1: OR=4.95, 95% CI=1.66-14.72), they have dental treatment experience during the past 1 year (OR=6.61, 95% CI=1.83-23.89), they have surrounding person who have experience of implant (OR=18.06, 95% CI=2.81-115.99), higher dental implant recognition (OR=3.97, 95% CI=1.92-8.23). The odds ratio (OR) for dental implant intention was significantly higher for participants with a lower age (65-69: OR=8.18, 95% CI=2.38-278.08, 70-79: OR=3.17 95% CI=1.04-9.68), lower number of chronic diseases (0: OR=4.15, 95% CI=1.00-17.29), they have drink alcohol (OR=5.03, Cl=1.31-19.34), they have surrounding person who has experience of implant (OR=3.22, 95% CI=1.30-8.02), they have not experience of tooth loss (OR=4.65, Cl=1.22-17.70), higher dental implant recognition (OR=2.69, 95% CI=1.55-4.67). Conclusions:In the future, it is necessary to utilize the results of this study to address loss of teeth and to support dental implant treatment selection through improved increased awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants.

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to measure the level of Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans), the major causative agent in dental caries, and to examine the relationship between S. mutans level and dental caries experience. Methods : The present study was carried out in 41 university students. S.mutans plaque was detected in the saliva using Dentocult$^{(R)}$-SM and was measured in absorbance. The data were analyzed in the relevance for number of dental caries experience. Results : The group of S. mutans value has progressive caries, which was higher than that of non-suffering caries(p<0.05). More caries experience showed higher value of S. mutans(p>0.05). According to the relationship with DMFT, level of S. mutans and absorbance, correlation with the level of salivary S. mutans is shown statistically highly significant (p<0.01). The level of S. mutans in saliva and plaque and absorbance is statistically significant(p<0.05). Conclusions : The levels of S. mutans in both group of high caries experience and progressive caries was highly detected, continuous oral health management should be carried out to prevent the possible dental caries.

This research is based on self-filling survey which 220 dental hygienists who work in seoul participated on July 2006 through August 2006. This survey was analyzed the experience item and occurred time of the symptoms and the time of acute and vanish of the symptoms that dental office's working environment effects on physical subjective symptom. We suggest a plan to minimizing physical subjective symptom for health manage of dental hygienist. We found out the fact that dental hygienists were unsatisfied with hospital air condition and this polluted air condition cause them physical subjective symptom in work place. As follows analyzed results ventilation time is below the 3-times a day, this may be have some trouble in indoor air quality. The experience the symptoms level is higher then non-experience level in "Fatigue and sleepiness", "Dorsalgia, omarthralgia, cervicodynia", "Hypersensitivity", "Dry eye, itch, smarting", "Headaches" and a subjective symptom is occurred at after 11:00(am) more then 60%, 50% of the dental hygienist. This experience the symptom' pain is vanished after the work and reduced when go out the office and building, respectively. The ratio of the experience the symptoms and starting time the symptoms is anywhere from 12 noon to 4 pm (73.2%) in a day. The time of acute pain the symptoms is anywhere from 12 noon to 4 pm (78.7%) refer to the individual characteristics and work environment.
