Objectives : This paper is designed to help the public prevent their future dental caries, based on the studies of xylitol about it's efficacy and effectiveness, and its appropriate usage. Methods : This study of xylitol on the basis of existing research papers and literature is not only to learn about the mechanism of what xylitol acts, but also to search the effectiveness of incompleteness of xylitol-containing foods, bacterial infection between xylitol and mother-baby, and the side-effects of xylitol. Results : 1. Xylitol's continuous intake of teeth effects the decrease of calculus amount, cleanness of teeth, as well as the remineralization process. The xylitol effect varies depending on the weight of xylitol, which has no effect on root caries. 2. Mouth gargle solution is higher resistant against acids; recalcification is significantly reduced; and remineralization effect represents. 3. It is reported that regular consumption of xylitol by mothers just during two years after birth has significantly decreased the spread possibility of mutans streptococcei. 4. The reduction of dental caries by xylitol is happened by its restraining the growth of bacteria resource caries, with their presence in amount of uncontrolled growth. 5. When a small amount of eating xylitol is absorbed slowly into gastrointestinal tract, being followed by glucose metabolism in the liver, while its excessive amount of eating can cause gastrointestinal problems. Conclusion : Dental hygienists should be required to provide dental information to the public on the basis of academic knowledge. In situation that one is not yet sure of xylitol on solid and multifaceted researches, there must be needed more accurate and detailed reviews on the side-effects of xylitol and the overall impact on the oral environments.

Objectives : The study set out to analyze correlations between emotional labor and job stress among dental hygienist, who have direct and lasting relationships with patients in dental clinic, and provide basic data to resolve stressors and manage stress. Methods : A survey was taken among dental hygienists working at dental clinics, and 200 questionnaires were used in analysis. The gathered data were put to Cronbach's alpha with the SPSS WIN12.0 program to test the reliability of the inventories to measure their emotional labor and job stress. In addition, correlation analysis was conducted to examine relations between the items of emotional labor and those of job stress along with regression analysis to examine relations between emotional labor and job stress. Finally, t-test and One-way ANOVA were conducted to test mean differences in the job stress items according to the degrees of emotional labor with the statistical significance level set at 0.05. Results : 1. The measurement tool used in the study recorded 0.7 for all the areas of Cronbach's alpha for internal reliability and thus achieved high reliability. 2. The overall mean of emotional labor was 2.74, which indicates that the dental hygienists had 'average' or higher stress for emotional labor. 3. Emotional labor had statistically significant relations with educational background, place of work, motivation to choose to be a dental hygienist, and religion of their general characteristics. 4. There was statistical significance in relations between general characteristics and job stress according to educational background, position at work, and experience with change of occupation. 5. The correlations between emotional labor and the stress areas were analyzed. As a result, emotional labor was in positive(+) correlations with job demand, lack of job autonomy, relational conflict, job instability, organizational system, and corporate culture. In addition, regression analysis was conducted to test causal relations between emotional labor and job stress. The results indicate that there were positive(+) influences between emotional labor and job stress. Conclusions : The results show that emotional labor can serve as a mediating variable for job stress in dental clinic. Thus both dental clinics and dental hygienists need to have ways to deal with job stress derived from emotional labor in which they are forced to process their emotions according to the dental clinics' demands, properly. The study will hopefully trigger ongoing follow-up researches on the deployment of dental hygienists according to their job characteristics and the situational variables to alleviate the negative results of emotional labor.

Methods: This study examined 60 basic oral health applications provided by Google Play Store and Apple App Store as of May 2019 and examined delivery contents, delivery methods, application types, and other information. Results: Apple included 65.4% of oral apps in the game category whereas Android included 64.3% in the education category (p>0.05). All Apple's apps and 71.4% of Android apps were developed overseas (p<0.01). The delivery contents were 61.5% for Brushing + tooth decay in Apple, and 78.6% for others (oral care products and gum diseases) in Android (p>0.05). For the delivery method, game + video was 65.4% in Apple, and game and other methods (text, image, augmented reality) was 42.9% in Android (p>0.05). In the case of application type, play type was the most common with 88.5% in Apple, and 46.4% play type and 39.3% other type (text, appreciation, problem-solving types) in Android (p<0.01). In addition, play type was high in both education (53.8%) and game (90.0%) categories (p>0.05). The average review score was 4.30 in the education category, 4.34 in the case of brushing and care (delivery contents), 4.37 in the case of using game + video (delivery methods), and 4.57 in the case of Play + other types (application type) (p>0.05). Conclusions: The use of healthcare apps is expected to increase owing to improved lifestyles, an increase in the elderly population, cost-effectiveness, and convenience that is not affected by time and place. Effective use of oral health apps will require the participation of dental professionals in the development process to identify the exact status, expand subjects, and provide appropriate information.

비판적 사고는 치위생 교육과 실무에서 요구되는 핵심역량으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 비판적 사고 능력 중 비판적 사고 성향이 학업성적에 따라 차이가 나타나는지를 알기 위해 2개교의 치위생(학)과 재학생 252명을 대상으로 비판적 사고 성향과 학업성적을 조사하여 다변량 공분산분석에 의해 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사대상자의 비판적 사고 성향 평균은 3.46이었으며, 학업성적 상위권 집단의 비판적 사고 성향 전체 평균은 3.63로서 중위권(3.46), 하위권(3.41) 집단에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=009). Scheffe 방법에 의한 사후검정 결과 상위권과 하위권 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.009). 2. 비판적 사고 성향의 하위요인인 지적열정/호기심, 자신감, 객관성, 건전회의성, 지적공정성, 신중성 등 6개 요인을 종속변수로 선택하고, 연령을 공변량으로 입력한 다변량 공분산 분석 결과 다변량 검정 결과 학업성적 집단에 따라 다변량 통계량이 유의한 차이가 나타났으며(p=0.001), 지적열정/호기심에서 학업성적 상,중,하 집단 사이에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.036). 3. 학업성적 집단 사이의 지적 열정/호기심에 대한 차이를 Scheffe의 방법에 의해 사후검정한 결과 상위권집단과 중위권 집단 사이(p=0.027)와 상위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이(p=0.002)에 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 중위권 집단과 하위권 집단 사이에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 치위생(학)과 학생들의 학업성적에 따른 비판적 사고성향을 분석한 결과, 성적에 따라 비판적 사고능력에는 지적 열정/ 호기심에서 차이가 있었으나, 그 차이는 크지 않았다(Wilks의 람다=0.914, F(6, 24)=1.869, p=0.001, 부분 에타제곱=0.044). 치과위생사의 비판적 사고능력은 업무범위 안에서 해결해야 하는 대상자의 '문제'와 '원인'의 관계를 진술하는 '치위생진단문'과 치과위생사가 제공해야할 예방, 치료, 교육에 관한 '중재 계획'으로 비판적 사고 과정의 결과이다. 따라서 치위생(학)과 학생들의 임상적 판단과 의사결정을 위한 비판적 사고 능력이 증진할 수 있는 교육체계가 마련되어야 한다고 사료된다.
