Objectives: This study confirms the current status of visiting oral health-care services for the elderly to draw policy implications for revitalization of the visiting oral health care services in the future. Methods: First, a survey was conducted on health centers about the current status of the elderly visiting oral health-care service and how to revitalize it. Next, the number of oral hygiene services provided to the elderly was checked in the long-term care insurance system. Results: Oral health education (100%) was the most common practice in visiting oral health-care service for the elderly, and the most difficult thing in providing services was the lack of dental hygienists (38.9%). The status of oral health-care services in the long-term care insurance system for elderly revealed that the total number of service claims has been confirmed to be zero since the introduction of the system. Conclusions: Despite the existence of a system that provides elderly visiting oral healthcare services, to revitalize it, the law must be amended to secure a dental hygienist as the main agent of the activity and to further take responsibility for autonomous authority and performance.

Purpose: This study evaluated trends in tooth extraction due to acute and chronic periodontal disease (PD) using data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort for 2002-2013. Methods: A random sample of 1,025,340 individuals was selected as a representative sample of the population, and a database (DB) of diagnostic and prescription codes was followed up for 12 years. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the incidence of total extraction (TE), extraction due to periodontal disease (EPD), and immediate extraction due to periodontal disease (IEPD) according to sociodemographic factors (sex, age, household income, health status, and area of residence). Results: The incidence of tooth extraction was found to be increasing, and at a higher rate for TE in PD patients. In 2002, 50.6% of cases of TE were caused by PD, and this increased to 70.8% in 2013, while the number of cases of IEPD increased from 42.8% to 54.9% over the same period. The incidence rates of extraction due to acute and chronic PD increased monotonically. We found that the incidence rates of TE, EPD, and IEPD were all 2-fold higher among patients with high income levels and those who were not beneficiaries of health insurance. Conclusions: The rates of TE, EPD, and IEPD have been steadily increasing despite dental healthcare policies to expand public health insurance coverage, increasing the accessibility of dental clinics. Moreover, the effects of these policies were found to vary with both income and education levels. Consistent patient follow-up is required to observe changes in trends regarding tooth extraction according to changes in dental healthcare policies, and meticulous studies of such changes will ensure optimal policy reviews and revisions.

본 연구는 12세 이하 자녀를 둔 학부모의 치과건강보험 인식도 및 필요도를 파악하여, 향후 치과건강보험 제도의 발전을 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 부산·경남 지역에 위치한 만12세 이하의 자녀를 양육하는 보호자 158명을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 양육 관계가 모(p=.001)인 경우, 나이(p=.005)가 높을수록 치아홈메우기 경험은 높았으며, 양육 관계가 모인 경우 치아홈메우기 지식(p=.012)은 높게 나타났다. 성별이 여자(p=.026), 양육 관계가 모(p=.006), 직업활동을 정기적으로 하는 경우(p=.003) 광중합형 복합레진 충전 인식도가 높았고, 경험은 자녀의 나이(p=.004)가 높을수록, 지식은 양육 관계가 모(p=.024)인 경우 높았다. 치아홈메우기 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 양육자의 교육수준(p=.004), 치아홈메우기 인지(p=.003), 치아홈메우기 경험(p=.011)으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합할 때 학부모의 건강보험 인지도와 경험도를 높이기 위한 적극적인 홍보가 더욱 필요할것으로 여겨진다.

The present case report describes an external auditory canal injury following extraction of the lower molar. The external auditory canal was torn in the same fashion that occurs in an anterior tympanic plate fracture. This case demonstrates one of the rare complications associated with dental extractions.

목적: 최근 들어 치과에서의 금연치료가 국민건강보험의 적용을 받게 되었다. 하지만 이에 관한 대국민 홍보나 국민들의 인식은 충분하지 못할 것으로 예상된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 치과 금연치료의 국민건강보험 적용에 관한 환자의 인식도 및 의식 수준에 관하여 조사해 보았다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 실험은 설문조사를 통하여 이루어졌으며, 2015년 3월에 단국대학교 치과대학 부속 치과병원에 내원한 100명을 대상으로 하였으며 18개의 문항의 설문지를 개발하여 시행하였다. 결과: 설문 결과 응답자의 많은 수는 치과 금연치료에 관해 긍정적인 반응을 보였으나, 정책의 시행 사실이나 내용에 관한 지식 및 인식이 상당히 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 정부와 보건복지부 당국은 새로 시행된 이번 정책의 효율성을 높이기 위해 보다 많은 홍보 활동 등의 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

The objective of this study was to estimate the proper amount of subsidy required to operating dental hospital or clinic for the disabled. Models for estimating operating profit of general dental hospital/clinic and opportunity cost of operating dental hospital/clinic for the disabled was formulated. Data were collected from various sources such as the annual reports of Purme Hospital, one of the running dental hospitals for the disabled, statistics from Healthcare Bigdata Hub, operated by Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service of Korean Government, and the deliberation data of non-reimbursable treatments in Seoul Dental Hospital for the Disabled. A dental hospital/clinic for the disabled was less profitable than a general dental hospital/clinic, of which the reason is that the chair time for the average patient is longer. However, It was false that a dental hospital/clinic for the disabled scored less average insurance fee for a treatment. Disabled patients had more frequent prosthodontic treatments, which had a high average insurance fee. There were some groups of treatments that could yield higher profitability in a dental hospital/clinic for the disabled; recall checks, and periodontal treatments.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to estimate incomes and costs of the medical clinics by using secondary data. Methodology: The medical incomes and costs were estimated from 405 clinics operated by sole practitioner providing out-patient services among all clinics subject to the Medical Cost Survey on National Health Insurance Patients in 2017, excluding dental clinics and oriental medical clinics. The incomes and costs of the medical clinics were reflected with incomes and costs of health insurance benefits and were calculated by types of medical services (i.e., basic care, surgery, general treatment, functional test, specimen test and imaging test). The costs were classified as follows: labor costs, equipment costs, material costs and overhead costs. Secondary data was used to estimate the incomes and costs of the medical clinics. For allocation bases for costs for each type of the medical service, the ratio of revenue from health insurance benefits by types of medical services was applied. However, labor costs were calculated with the activity ratio by types of medical services and occupations, using clinical expert panel data. Finding: The percentage of health insurance income for all medical income was 73.1%. The health insurance cost per clinic was 401,864 thousand won. Labor cost accounted for the largest portion of the health insurance income was 191,229 thousand won (47.6%), followed by management cost was 170,018 thousand won (42.3%), materials cost was 35,434 thousand won (8.8%), and equipment costs was 5,183 thousand won (1.3%). Practical Implications: This study suggests a method of estimating incomes and costs of medical clinic services by using secondary data. It could efficiently provide incomes and costs to assess an appropriate level of the health insurance fee to the clinics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors affecting antibiotic prescription in dental outpatients. Methods: The present study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service - National Sample Cohort. We analyzed prescriptions issued in the dental outpatient department in 2015, for adults over 19 years of age. Antibiotic prescription rates and mean prescription days were analyzed by sex, age, insurance type, presence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension, season in treatment, type of dental institution, and location of dental institution. Multivariate logistic regression was also performed to analyze the factors affecting antibiotic prescription in dental outpatients. Results: A total of 257,038 prescriptions were analyzed. The mean prescription days of antibiotics in dental outpatients were $3.04{\pm}1.08days$, and the prescription rate was 93.0%. Two variables (presence of diabetes mellitus and insurance type) were excluded from the multivariate logistic regression analysis model because they did not significantly affect antibiotic prescription. The possibility of antibiotic prescription was higher in men ${\geq}61years$ of age and those with hypertension. Furthermore, antibiotics were most frequently prescribed in dental clinics rather than dental hospitals, and more frequently in Busan compared to other areas (p<0.001). Conclusions: Several factors were determined to affect antibiotic prescription, and detailed guidelines for consistent antibiotic prescription are needed.
