By utilizing the index, the preparedness of employment and awareness of employment was studied, to enhance the understandings of students' career and preparations for employment. Both hypothesis 1-basic contents of a student's resume or so-called "specifications" and employment competitiveness index have positive correlation-and hypothesis 2-the 'inspirational factors' and employment competitiveness index have positive correlation-were accepted. Among the 'basic factors', attractiveness and foreign language scored the least while understanding of employers, certificates, and job experiences scored the least among the inspirational factors category. Using this study, various organizations such as universities will be able to provide better guidelines regarding employment or career. In conclusion, this study aims to provide advanced, effective and competitive guidelines for dental hygienist curriculum planning, developing non-curriculum courses, special lectures, and providing advice regarding employment.

  • The purpose of this study is to determine the demage of tooth surface changes according to exposure time of commercially available green grape juice and pomegranate juice. Extracted healthy human premolar enamel surfaces were used. Control group immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 10 ml of commercially available green grape juice and pomegranate juice applied experimental group was divided into 7 groups. The pH of the experimental juice was measured, and the change and micrographics of the surface were confirmed through a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was found that the more the immersion time between the tooth surface and acid juice, such as damage to the tooth surface, has a greater effect on the surface damage. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to reduce the number of drinking times and retention time in the oral cavity.
