  • Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of the Oral Health Education Program (OHEP) on the change in the children's brushing behavior and reduction in the dental plaque index (PI) and to identify changes in their parents' perception of oral health. Methods: The OHEP was applied 44 children recruited from two childcare centers. We conducted a self-reported survey of the parents at baseline and evaluated the oral conditions of the children at baseline and after 5 weeks. Their brushing behavior was assessed once a week during the OHEP intervention period and daily at home thereafter. We measured the PI after a 12-week follow-up and performed repeated measures analysis of varience. Results: The average PI score of children significantly decreased at week 5 as compared to the baseline (1.90±0.53, p<0.001), despite a substantial increase in week 12 (2.67±0.08, p<0.001). OHEP was effective in reducing the PI score and modifying their brushing behavior. Conclusions: OHEP effectively modified the brushing the behavior of the children. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and expand a systematic oral health education program to promote self-management of oral health in children.

  • - Abstract - Objectives: We examined the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) case management program developed by National Health Insurance Corporation in Korea. Methods: One trained nurse performed the case management for 30 DM patients recruited through the reimbursement information of National Health Insurance in a rural community. The case manager had four home visits and two telephone calls for 12 weeks. We evaluated the effectiveness of the program in terms of self-efficacy, self-care behaviors and glyco-metabolic control. Results: The self-efficacy score was significantly increased from 70.0 of pre-intervention to 80.5 of post-intervention (p<0.001). The self-care score was also significantly increased from 2.86 to 3.60 (p<0.001). The scores of its components such as nutritional care, self-test of sugar level, foot care, oral care, and aerobic exercise were significantly improved (p<0.001). However, the improvement of score in medication management was statistically marginal (p=0.071). The fasting blood sugar level and HbA1c level was significantly decreased from 128.6 mg/dl to 114.5 mg/dl (p<0.001) and from 6.78 % to 6.54 % (p<0.001) respectively. Conclusions: The case management program was effective to improve the self-efficacy and self-care behaviors, and to control blood sugar level in DM patients.

  • 저자는 후기 영아형 이염성 백질 이영양증으로 인해 신경학적인 퇴행이 관찰되고 섭식 장애로 인한 다발성 우식을 보이는 환아를 전신마취 하 치료하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 저작기능 장애로 인한 영양 결핍으로 환아는 신체 발육이 매우 저하되었으며 긴 식사 시간으로 다발성 치아 우식에 이환된 상태였다. 협조도 부족 및 치료 범위 등을 고려하여 전신마취 하에 치과 치료를 시행하였고 정기적인 검진을 시행 중이다. 진행성, 신경성 퇴행질환의 특징을 이해하고 환아의 상태를 고려한 구강 건강 관리 및 보호자 교육을 제공하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the status of dental hygienists in Japan. The study explicated the history, core curriculum, National Examination for Dental Hygienists, work roles of dental hygienists, and workplaces of dental hygienists. This study was based on the government policy report on dental hygienists and the information published by each public institution. The latest statistics presented by the institutions were collected through official websites. The employment information of graduates from Hiroshima University was analyzed based on actual field study. The results of the study revealed that social demand for dental hygienists has steadily increased and policies and education have been revised accordingly. The work roles of dental hygienists have expanded to meet the needs of the treatment and those of public health fields. In line with major policy changes, the educational period has been extended from 1 year to 3 or 4 years, while the mandatory credits for graduation have been established. Licensing examinations were being performed by the local governments since 1948 due to the different situations of dental hygienists in different areas. In 1992, they were converted into a single national examination. The work roles have expanded from assisting dental treatments to health guidance, home care, and perioperative care. Consequently, the number of dental hygienists has increased, especially in healthcare facilities for the elderly. Dental hygienists perform various roles. However, the most essential role is to provide the best oral care services to the patient. The expected role of dental hygienists has expanded in alignment with public healthcare needs and support for the elderly. The government and universities are expected to bring about improvements such as diversifying the channels of education and establishing policies to respond to growing patient needs by cultivating excellent dental hygiene professionals.

  • 본 연구는 오마하체계를 이용하여 보건소 방문간호사의 간호업무 수행도와 필요도를 조사한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방문간호사의 간호업무는 '개인위생', '통증', '약물요법', '영양', '신체활동', '위생', '수면과 휴식양상', '구강건강', '정신건강', '인지'순으로 수행도가 높았다. '성생활', '산후', '수입', '가족계획', '임신', '영성', '학대', '생식기능', '방임', '말과 언어' 순으로 간호업무 수행도가 낮았다. '성생활', '학대' '방임', '생식기능' 문제는 문제의 사정 및 적극적 개입을 위한 교육적 지원이 필요하다. '산후', '임신', '가족계획' 등의 문제는 출산지원을 위한 지역의 정책방향에 따라 방문간호사의 역량 강화가 필요하다. '수입', '주거', '지역사회자원과의 의사소통'은 보건복지 연계 및 정부와 지방자치단체의 정책적 지원이 필요하겠다. 본 연구결과는 방문간호사의 역할규명 및 역할확대를 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 본다.

  • Purpose: This pilot study was conducted to evaluate the cleaning efficacy of an angled implant brush for home oral hygiene of full-arch fixed-implant prostheses. Methods: Forty-one patients treated with a full-arch implant rehabilitation in the maxilla or mandible (164 implants) for at least 4 months were enrolled. The screw-retained fixed prostheses were removed and baseline (T0) parameters were recorded, including plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding on probing (BOP). All patients completed a 5-item questionnaire on hygiene maintenance and received an implant brush for home hygiene. After 1 month (T1) PI, PD, and BOP were recorded again and patients completed a 7-item questionnaire to evaluate their satisfaction with the implant brush. One-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate the significance of changes in PI, PD, and BOP. A P value <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: A statistically significant reduction of BOP (0.62±0.6 at T0 vs. 0.5±0.5 at T1; P=0.032) was found, while no statistically significant changes in PD (1.74±0.5 mm at T0 vs. 1.77±0.5 mm at T1; P=0.050) or PI (1.9±0.7 at T0 vs. 1.7±0.7 at T1; P=0.280) occurred. According to the 7-item questionnaire, patients reported no difficulty in using the angled brush (63.4%) and deemed it highly (46.3%) or very highly (4.8%) effective in improving their home oral hygiene. Conclusions: Within the limits of the present pilot study, the patients experienced a reduction of BOP 1 month after being instructed to use the angled implant brush. The angled implant brush appeared to be a well-accepted device for home-care hygiene of full-arch fixed-implant rehabilitations.
