This study was implemented for 84 students of dental hygiene to show the correlation between dental caries experience and improved caries activity test. Dental caries experience for the sample groups was examined and stimulative saliva secreted for 5 minutes was collected into the tube to check saliva secretion rate. Dentocult LB test was executed to observe Lactobacilli colonies after 96 hour cultivation of culture slides moistened with stimulative saliva. Dentocult SM test(screening strip, site strip) was done to measure SM colonies distribution after 48 hour cultivation of culture strips applied with collected saliva and dental plaque respectively, and salivary buffering capacity was checked by means of Dentobuff strip kit. Following conclusions are obtained after examining the relation between Dentocult LB, Dentocult SM, Dentobuff strip test results and DMFT index, salivary secretion rate. 1. Showed no significant difference between Dentocult LB test results and DMFT index, salivary secretion rate. 2. Showed no significant difference between Dentocult SM(screening strip) test results and DMFT index, salivary secretion rate. 3. Showed significant difference between Dentocult SM(site strip) test results and DMFT index(pE0.05), but showed no significant difference between Dentocult SM(site strip) test results and salivary secretion rate. 4. Showed no significant difference between Dentobuff strip test results and DMFT index, but showed a very wide difference between Dentobuff strip test results and salivary secretion rate(pE0.01).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the competency of the Easyperio test, a genetic test method based on real time PCR for the detection of bacteria that cause dental caries and periodontal disease. To verify the validity of this text, various dental health evaluations were administered to 33 boys between the ages of 12 to 14, as this age group commonly experiences dental caries. These evaluations included a dental caries experience survey, a first molar health evaluation, the Dentocult Streptococcus mutans (SM) strip mutans, the Dentocult Lactobacillus spp (LB) test, and the Easyperio test. The correlation coefficients between the level of the Dentocult SM strip mutans and the dental caries experience were DT (R=0.570, p=0.001), DMFT (R=0.376, p=0.031), and first molar health (R=-0.395, p=0.023). The correlation coefficients between the amount of SM in the Easyperio test and dental caries experience were DT (R=0.528, p=0.002), DMFT (R=0.369, p=0.035), and first molar health (R=-0.426, p=0.013). The correlation coefficients between the level of the dentocult SM strip mutans and the SM amounts of the Easyperio test were S.mi (R=0.564 p=0.001) and S.mu (R=0.621, p=0.002). The correlation coefficients between the level of the Dentocult LB test and the SM amount of Easyperio test was S.mi (R=0.495, p=0.003). In conclusion, Easyperio test may be an easy and effective method for the differentiation and diagnosis of dental caries through quantitative and qualitative analysis of oral bacteria.

개량형 Dentocult-SM 키트의 치아우식활성검사로서의 활용도와 임상적 지수와의 상관관계 그리고 민감도 및 특이도를 조사하기 위하여 만 5-6세 남녀아동 128명을 대상으로 구강검사와 screening strip 검사와 site strip 검사를 시행한 후 일정 부위의 치면세균막을 채취하여 뮤탄스 연쇄상구균 배양검사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Screening strip 및 site strip 검사 모두에서 우식활성도가 0에서부터 3까지로 증가할수록 아동들이 보유하고 있는 dft index와 dfs index는 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고 아동들의 치면세균막 내의 뮤탄스 연쇄상구균 집락수 역시 우식활성도가 0에서 3으로 높아질수록 통계적으로 유의하게 수적인 증가를 나타내었다. Screening strip과 site strip 검사결과의 일치정도는 Spearman의 상관계수가 0.775 그리고 kappa 지수는 0.496으로 두 검사법의 일치도가 높았다. 또한 screening strip 검사의 민감도는 0.74-1.00, 특이도는 0.11-0.67로 나타났고, site strip 검사의 민감도와 특이도는 각각 0.48-1.00 및 0.11-0.66으로 계산되었다. 따라서 치과임상에서도 종래의 우식활성검사법들 보다 시간과 비용이 그리 많이 들지 않으며, 또한 각종 미생물학적, 생화학적인 기술이나 장비가 많이 필요치 않도록 간편하게 개량된 Dentocult-SM 검사법을 활용하면 치아우식증을 예측하는 진단학적인 측면이나 환자들을 대상으로 한 구강보건교육적인 측면에서 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

The subjects in this study were 134 special school students in south Gyeong-sang province. After they were tested to find out their, they received tooth brushing education and preventive treatment. The test, education and treatment were all conducted from March 17 to April 9, 2008. Their oral state was checked and recorded by using a mirror and explorer, and then the data on oral state were analyzed to their DMFT, DT, FT and MT rates. All the collected data were analyzed with SPSS 15.0 for Windows program, and independent-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and crosstabs analysis were implemented to see what differences their disability type, gender, Dentocult-SM scores and Dentocult-LB scores made. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. As for connections between disability type and DMFT rate, the students with mental retardation were similar to the other students in that regard. The mentally retarded students had higher DT and FT rates than the other students, and the MT rate of the latter was higher than that of the former. 2. Concerning the relationship of gender to DMFT and DT rates, the girls had larger DMFT and DT rates than the boys, and the FT and MT rates of the boys were higher than those of the girls. 3. As to links between Dentocult SM scores on the tongue and DMFT, the students whose bacteria was mildly activated had the highest DMFT rate, and the students who had a severely activated bacteria had the highest DT and FT rates. Those who had a moderately activated bacteria had the highest MT rate. 4.Regarding the connection of Dentocult SM scores on maxillyright molar to DMFT and DT rates, the students whose bacteria was severely activated had the highest DMFT and DT rates. Those who had no activated bacteria had the largest FT rate, and the students who had a mildly activated bacteria had the highest MT rate. 5.Regarding the connection of Dentocult SM scores on maxillyleft molar to DMFT and DT rates, the students whose bacteria was severely activated had the highest DMFT and DT rates. Those who had no activated bacteria had the largest FT rate, and the students who had a mildly activated bacteria had the largest MT rate. 6.

The research was conducted to 100 child patients selected by random sampling, which got a Dentocult-SM test in the first visit and then was being continuously managed, out of child patients of a pediatric clinic located in Gyeonggi-do. The period of there search is one year from June 2007 to May 2008, Using Dentocult-SM test, we analyzed the correlation between the distribution of dental plaque, a streptococcus mutans in saliva and condition of dental caries cavity in the teeth of child patients, then we measured the distribution of a streptococcusmutans. According to SM score, we applied incremental oral heath care for child patients to clinical and obtained the following results, 1. In terms of the age of child patients in research, the number of 3 years old patients was 29(lst ranked), the number of 2 years old patients was 28(2nd ranked). 2. The result of SM score showed that female child patients(52.0%) was higher than male ones in negative, male child patients(52.0%) was higher than female ones in mild, female child patients(68.2%) was higher than male ones in moderate, male child patients(57.1%) was higher than female ones in severe. 3. At the first visit, the SM score showed statistically remarkable difference between dt and dmft. We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 4. At the second visit, the SM score showed statistically remarkable difference among dt, ft, and dmft index We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 5. At the third visit, The SM score showed statistically remarkable difference among dt, ft, and dmft index We can also confirm the average of severe is the highest. 6. The comparison of dmft index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for negative and mild, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in moderate and severe. 7. The comparison of dt index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for negative, mild, and moderate, In addition to that, we can con firm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in severe. 8. The comparison of mt index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for mild and moderate, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences m severe. 9. The comparison of ft index differences to SM score showed statistically no remarkable difference in incremental oral heath care for mild, In addition to that, we can confirm that the incremental oral heath care makes statistically remarkable differences in negative, moderate, and severe. 10. According to the comparison of dmft index to the age, the 4 years old patients showed the highest number(5.50 in the first visit and 6,08 in the second one). In the third visit, the 6 years old patients showed the highest number(7.00). By the above results, we can find that the incremental oral heath care by SM score makes the results of oral care better. Therefore, the improvement or maintenance in oral health of child patients needs continuing personal oral health management and regular systematic management focused on prevention by the specialist.

Monoclonal antibody를 이용한 Saliva-$check^{TM}$ Mutans키트의 타액 Streptococcus mutans검출방법으로서의 활용도와 임상적 우식지수 및 기존의 세균배양방법과의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 2008년 2월에서 5월 중 평촌키즈웰치과에 내원한 만 2세에서 만 8세 사이의 92명의 아동을 대상으로 Streptococcus mutans 검출검사를 실시하였으며 또한 우식에 영향을 미치는 다른 요인인 치면세균막 pH와 타액완충능력검사를 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Saliva-$check^{TM}$ Mutans 검사결과 양성을 나타낸 아동은 27명으로 29.3%이었고, 음성을 나타낸 아동은 65명으로 70.65%이었다. 우식경험유치면률은 음성 아동 13.89%, 양성 아동 25.23%으로 나타났다. 2. Monoclonal antibody를 이용한 검사방법 인 Saliva-$check^{TM}$ Mutans와 기존의 세균 배양방법인 $Dentocult^{(R)}$-SM은 각각 상이한 검사방법을 이용함에도 불구하고 검사결과 높은 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 3. Saliva-$check^{TM}$ Mutans검사와 치면세균막 pH검사와는 역상관관계를 나타내었으나(p<0.01),타액완충능 검사와는 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 이상의 결과로 보았을 때 Monoclonal antibody를 이용한 검사방법인 Saliva-$check^{TM}$ Mutans는 구강 내 Streptococcus mutans를 측정하는 방법으로 적당하며 또한 검사에 필요한 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있고 사용방법도 매우 간편하게 개발되어 환자들에게 적용함에 있어 효과적이라고 사료되었다.
