본 연구는 노인의 의치보철 사후관리와 관련하여 의치관리 교육이해에 따른 의치관리실태의 차이를 확인하고자 2016년 10월 15일부터 12월 15일까지 대구지역의 65세 이상 의치 장착자를 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 직접면담조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 일반적 특성에 따른 의치관리 교육이해는 연령, 교육 수준, 의치제작비용충당, 주관적 건강상태, 의치 위치, 상 하악 의치착용년수, 치과관리방문횟수, 구취 정도가 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 의치관리 교육이해을 종속변수로 유의한 영향을 미치는 독립변수는 의치제작비용충당, 주관적 건강상태, 구취 정도가 부(-)적 영향을 주었고, 의치 위치가 정(+)적 영향을 주었다. 따라서 의치 장착의 사후관리에 있어서 노인의 특성을 고려한 지속적인 관리교육이 필요할 것으로 사료되며, 향후 공통된 관리교육 매뉴얼이 마련될 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

노인틀니와 임플란트 건강보험 지원사업에 대한 인식과 개선요구도를 조사하기 위해 2014년 6~7월 기간 동안 일부 지역사회의 60세 이상 238명을 대상으로 틀니와 임플란트 보험적용과 개선에 관한 설문조사를 하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 대상자의 틀니 보험적용 인식은 76.9%였으나 틀니 적용시기와 보험 지원비용의 적절성, 임플란트 보험 적용 인식은 50% 미만으로 낮게 나타났다. 특히 틀니 사후관리 인식은 18.6%로 매우 낮게 조사되었다. 건강보험 급여화 개선요구 조사결과 틀니 적용시기는 60세 이상(42.5%), 임플란트 적용시기는 65세 이상(34.6%)이었고, 건강보험비 자부담은 50% (34.6%)가 가장 높게 조사되었다. 틀니 재제작 기간과 임플란트 지원은 무제한이 각각 32.0%, 47.8%로 가장 높게 조사되었으며, 치과위생사의 구강(틀니) 관리의 참여희망은 94.1%로 높게 조사되었다. 결론적으로 틀니와 임플란트 인식은 높았으나 세부적인 운영사항은 인식하지 못하여 지속적인 정보제공이 필요하며, 건강보험 지원연령을 낮추는 방안이 고려되어 건강보험지원사업의 효율성을 높여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : This study evaluated the changes in surface roughness of denture base resin according to the types of denture cleansers. Methods : A denture base resin(Vertex RS, Dentimax, Netherland) was used. Two toothpaste(Antiplaque, Bukwang, Korea; 2080, Aekyung, Korea) and a kitchen detergent(Trio, Aekyung, Korea) were used as a denture cleanser. The specimens were put on the V8 crossbrushing machine(Sabri enterprises, Downers grove, IL, USA) to reproduce toothbrushing and the toothbrushes were flat, round end and soft type. The surfaces of denture base resin specimens were observed by profilometer(SJ-400, MITUTOYO, Japan) and SEM(S-3000N, Hitachi Co., Ibaraki, Japan). Results : 1. According to the result of measuring surface roughness, there was statistically significant difference in Ra, Rq, and Rz(p<0.05). 2. As for Ra, Rq and Rz, Antiplaque toothpaste showed the highest roughness, and there was significant difference from other groups(p<0.01). 2080 toothpaste, Trio, and distilled water were classified as the same group. 3. According to the result of observation with the SEM, the surfaces of the Antiplaque toothpaste group after toothbrushing showed the greatest roughness, and the surfaces of 2080 toothpaste, Trio, and distilled water groups were rough in order. Trio and distilled water had the surfaces similar to those before toothbrushing. Conclusions : Studies to compare the efficacy of denture management methods and examine the effects of denture cleansers on denture materials will be helpful for dental hygienists and dentists providing patients with proper information and education. And it will be also useful for denture users' oral health.

The results showed that 24.2% of respondents had implant dentures put in. Hereat, the t-test and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed to analyze respondents' knowledge and attitude about the implant denture according to general characteristics. In relation to knowledge about the implant denture, respondents showed differences according to what levels of education they had and whether they had the implant dentures put in. The results of a correlation analysis showed that respondents' knowledge and attitude about the implant denture had a significant correlation with each other. In other words, respondents, who had a high degree of knowledge about the implant denture, had a more positive attitude to it. With the generalization of implant dentures, dental care providers have need to provide exact information about the implant denture for dental patients in order that they may comprehend it and have positive attitudes to it. In addition, there is a need to establish a system to provide the general public with exact information about the implant denture.
