Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate third and forth year dental students' perception towards dental hygienists as professionals. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 602 dental college students in Korea after receiving the informed consent. Except incomplete answers, 217 data were analyzed. The questionnaire consisted of three questions of the general perception towards dental hygienists, four questions of the cooperation relationship to the dental hygienists, four questions of oral health education, five questions of preventive dental health care, five questions of dental treatment cooperation, and five questions of dental health care management. The data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: Most of the dental college students viewed the dental hygienists as professionals. However, they did not exactly know the professional job of dental hygienists within the current national medical services system and they often viewed the dental hygienists as a medical assistant. The dental college students thought that the key role of the dental hygienists is the dental assisting. Only a small fraction of the participants recognized oral health promotion, preventive cares, and hospital management as professional roles of dental hygienists. Conclusions : Dental college students' perception towards dental hygienists as professionals needs to be improved. Understanding the job description of dental hygienists clearly is a crucial part of dental students' learning process and future practice.

Traumatic dental injury is considered a public dental health problem because of a high childhood incidence, high treatment costs, and prolonged treatment time. Although management guidelines for traumatized teeth have been outlined, tooth loss following trauma is occasionally unavoidable. Here, we describe the successful interdisciplinary management of a traumatized central incisor in an 11-year old boy that was extracted because of a poor prognosis and restored by the autotransplantation of an immature donor tooth into the site. The patient underwent orthodontic treatment in order to close the donor site space and bring the autotransplanted tooth to an ideal position. Postorthodontic treatment radiographs and photographs revealed an esthetic and functional natural tooth replacing the lost tooth. The findings from this case suggest that autotransplantation offers unique advantages as a treatment modality for the restoration of missing teeth, particularly in growing children.

본 연구는 구강체조와 구강근육마사지를 접목한 구강근육운동을 매뉴얼화하여 운영 형태에 따른 프로그램의 비교를 통해 효과적인 프로그램 운영방식을 제안하기 위한 것으로 자가 실천 프로그램을 적용한 한울노인대학 노인 14명과 전문가 개입 프로그램을 적용한 강릉종합사회복지관 이용 노인 28명을 대상으로 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 전문가 개입 집단에서 프로그램 운영 후 타액분비율이 증가하고, 주관적 구강건조증의 완화되었으나, 자가 실천 집단은 주관적 구강건조증에서 긍정적인 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 두 집단에 대하여 프로그램 만족도를 비교한 결과, 자가 실천 집단이 전문가 개입 집단보다 프로그램 내용, 방법, 자신의 구강 건강관리 도움, 계속 참여 의향, 타인에게 권유의향이 통계적 유의성을 확인할 수 없었으나, 대체적으로 높게 평가되었다. 연구기간 중 대상자 모집의 한계로 표본수가 적고, 개입기간이 짧았던 한계가 있으나 본연구를 통해 구강체조와 구강근육마사지의 복합적 적용인 구강근육운동 프로그램의 효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 특히 노인의 자발적 구강건강 행동 유지의 어려움이 있으므로 일정 정도의 전문가 개입이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 노인의 특성에 따라서 자가실천 구강근육운동 프로그램과 전문가 개입 프로그램 적용이 효과적일 수 있음을 시사하는 데 의의가 있다. 노인의 구강건강유지와 구강건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위해 구강건강증진사업을 전개할 때 효과적인 구강체조뿐 아니라 구강근육마사지가 접목된 구강운동 프로그램의 보급이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Malaysia. Barriers for practicing breast self examination (BSE) await exploration. Objective: To assess the practice of BSE and its correlated factors and particularly barriers amongst urban women in Malaysia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 222 Malaysian women using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean (SD) age was 28.5 (${\pm}9.2$) years, 59.0% were university graduates. Of the total, 81.1% were aware of breast cancer and 55% practiced BSE. Amongst 45% of respondents who did not practice BSE, 79.8% did not know how to do it, 60.6% feared being diagnosed with breast cancer, 59.6% were worried about detecting breast cancer, 22% reported that they should not touch their bodies, 44% and 28% reported BSE is embarrassing or unpleasant, 29% time consuming, 22% thought they would never have breast cancer or it is ineffective and finally 20% perceived BSE as unimportant. Logistic regression modeling showed that respondents aged ${\geq}45$ years, being Malay, married and having a high education level were more likely to practice BSE (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study sample, a significant proportion of respondents was aware of breast cancer but did not practice BSE. Knowledge, psychological, cultural, perception and environmental factors were identified as barriers. BSE practice was associated significantly with socio-demographic factors and socioeconomic status.
