The use of fluoride is one of the most effective methods for caries prevention. Fluoridation of public water supply has been recognized, for many years, as an effective way to reduce dental caries. The fluoride supplement has been recommended when the natural fluoride was unavailable or below the optimal range. However the mechanism of caries prevention by fluoride has not yet been clarified and it is well known that an overdose of fluoride results inacute and chronic toxicity, especially dental fluorosis. Fluoride mouthrinsing solution is widely used in dentistry due to its effectiveness in carrying anticariogenic action. Understanding the effects of fluoride mouthrinsing solution on human gingival fibroblasts will provide the safety rationale for its use during the caries preventive therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of fluoride mouthrinsing solution on the human gingival fibroblast in vitro. The human gingival fibroblasts were cultured from healthy gingiva on the extracted deciduous teeth of children. Cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate with $1{\times}10^4cells/well$ of medium at $37^{\circ}C$, 100% humidity, 5% $CO_2$ incubator for 24 hours. And the cells were counted by using the hemocytometer at each designed study. Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured in growth medium after one minute application range of 0.02%-0.2% NaF solution and 0.1% $SnF_2$ solution. The cells used in this study were between fifth to eighth passage number. The cell morphology was examined by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by incorporating $[^3H]$-thymidine into DNA. DNA synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts was assessed by $[^3H]$-thymidine uptake assays while the cell activity was measured by MTT assay. Each concentrated fluoride mouthrinsing solution was estimated for its biocompatability with fibroblasts by the tissue culture technique. The results of this study were as follows : 1. It was observed that at 0.05%, 0.2% NaF mouthrinsing solution the cytoplasmic processes became globular. When 0.1% $SnF_2$ mouthrinsing solution was applied, the cytoplasmic process and cell morphology were disappeared. 2. DNA synthetic activity was reduced regardless of the concentration of the fluoride mouthrinsing solution. However, the result is statistically insignificant except 0.1% $SnF_2$ mouthrinsing solution(p<0.05). 3. Our results indicate that 0.02%, 0.05% concentrations of NaF mouthrinsing solution caused minimal cytotoxicity. But 0.2% NaF and 0.1% $SnF_2$ concentration were a significant difference between the cell activity in the experimental group and control group (p<0.05). 4. After appling 0.05% & 0.02% NaF fluoride mouthrinsing solution, cell activity was restored to the control groups level according to incubating time. The results suggest that direct exposure to fluoride solution inhibits gingival fibroblast activity. Therefore, for the most effective use of fluoride use, lowering the concentration of fluoride mouthrinsing is advisable because it maintains biocompatability and free ion in the oral fluid.

구강내의 불소농도를 증가시키는 여러 방법에는 불화된 상수도를 섭취하거나 불소보조제를 복용하는 전신적 투여방법과 불소치약, 불소양치액, 불소젤의 도포와 같은 국소적 투여방법이 있다. 그동안 다양한 delivery system을 통한 국소도포용 불소제제가 임상적으로 우식증을 예방하는데 도움이 된다는 사실이 확인되었다. 최근의 연구에서 불소의 항우식효과는 치아주위의 oral fluid environment속에서 불소의 중요성을 지적하고 있다. 비자극성 전타액내 불소농도는 주어진 시간동안 치면과 상호작용이 가능한 aqueous phase의 불소를 나타낸다고 한다. 따라서 타액내의 불소 농도를 조사함으로써 간접적으로 우식예방효과에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 우식증예방을 위해 환자에게 여러 가지 국소도포방법 중 한 가지를 추천하기에 앞서 이들 각 방법이 타액내 불소농도를 증가시키는데 얼마나 효과적인지 알 필요가 있다. 이에 저자는 국소적 불소도포후 구강내 불소의 잔류량과 시간별 농도를 비교하고자 현재 국내에서 많이 쓰이고 있는 서로다른 네가지 불소제제를 사용하고 난 뒤 시간변화에 따른 타액내 불소농도를 HMDS를 이용한 확산법과 불소이온전극을 사용하여 측정하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 비자극성 혼합타액내 평균 불소농도는 $0.0152ppm{\pm}0.0091ppm$이었으며, 비자극성 타액분비율은 0.34-0.36ml/min으로 각군간에 통계적 유의차는 없었다. 2. 불소제제 사용직후를 제외하고는 모든 구간에서 타액내 불소 농도는 APF gel군>neutral gel군>불소양치액군>불소치약군의 순이었고, 불소처치 120분 경과후 불소치약군의 타액내 불소농도가, 180분 경과후 불소양치액군의 불소농도가 대조군과 통계적 유의차를 보이지 않은 반면, 6시간 경과후까지 APF gel군과 neutral gel군의 타액내 불소농도가 대조군에 비해 유의성있게 높게 유지되었다(p<0.05). 3. 불소제제 사용직후부터 120분 경과후까지 타액내 잔류불소량($AUC_{0-120min}$)은 neutral gel군>APF gel군>불소양치액군>불소치약군의 순이었고, neutral gel군과 APF gel군이 대조군과 나머지 두 군에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다(p<0.05).

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate oral health-related behaviors of some elementary school students by installation of toothbrushing facility. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed, out by 377 elementary school students with toothbrushing facility, and by 260 elementary school students with no toothbrushing facility in M city from November to December, 2015. The data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test and stepwise multiple regression analysis using SPSS 12.0 program. The questionnaire comprised toothbrushing practice(2 items), satisfaction of toothbrushing facility(1 item), oral health knowledge(4 items), fluoride recognition(1 item), and necessity of fluoride mouthrinse(1 item). Results: The level of oral health knowledge was high in toothbrushing facility school. But toothbrushing practice was higher in school of no toothbrushing facility(63.8%) than the school with toothbrushing facility(49.1%)(p<0.001). The number of brushing times a week was also higher in school of no toothbrushing facility(1.98 times) than the toothbrushing facility school(1.59 times)(p=0.011). The dominant reason for no brushing was not recognition(65.8%) in toothbrushing facility school, lack of places(61.3%) in non toothbrushing facility school. Conclusions: In order to improve the oral health in elementary school students, it is necessary to provide toothbrushing education and toothbrushing facility in elementary schools.

Introduction : Inadequate oral health control is a major risk of oral diseases. Regular home-based care is essential to maintain good oral hygiene. In particular, mouthrinses can support conventional tooth brushing in reducing accumulation of oral plaque. Effect : Antimicrobial mouthrinses are used as part of daily oral care to reduce plaque and gingivitis. Mouthrinses contains fluoride could help remineralization of enamel and dentin. The most common molecules contained in mouthrinses are chlorhexidine, essential oils, cetyl pyridinium chloride, triclosan, hyaluronic acid. Currently, chlorhexidine is the most efficacious compound, with both antiplaque and antibacterial activities. Similar results are reported for essential oils and cetyl pyridinium chloride, although with a somewhat reduced efficacy. Considering the adverse effects of chlorhexidine and its time-related characteristics, this molecule may best be indicated for acute/short term use, while essential oils and cetyl pyridinium chloride may be appropriate for long-term, maintenance treatment. Conclusion and suggestion : Antimicrobial mouthrinses are safe and effective, and when used in conjunction with brushing and flossing, they are an important method of reducing plaque and gingivitis. To improve compliance, dental health care professionals should adapt oral health care recommendations to fit patients' specific needs.
