Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for gingivitis management programs by dental hygienists by evaluating the effect of oral health education, oil pulling, and professional toothbrushing on gingivitis. Methods: A total of 38 subjects were divided into three groups: control group (12 subjects), experimental group 1 (13 subjects), and experimental group 2 (13 subjects). The control and experimental groups were instructed to brush using the rotating method. Distilled water was provided to the control group after training. Coconut oil was provided every morning for about 10 minutes. In the experimental group 2, a professional brushing method was used at each visit. Results: There were no significant differences in oral health among the three groups, and there was homology between patient hygiene performance (PHP) index (p=0.144) and bleeding rate (p=0.213). The PHP index showed a significant interaction between the group and measurement time. The control and experimental groups showed changes in the PHP index with time (F=3.711; p=0.013). The bleeding rate showed a significant interaction between the group and measurement period. The control and experimental groups showed changes in the bleeding rate with time (F=6.707; p<0.001). Conclusions: Oral health education, professional toothbrushing, and oil pulling specialists in oral care of gingivitis were effective in managing gingivitis. It is necessary to educate people on self-management methods for oral health promotion using gingivitis management programs by dental hygienists.

Effective and systematic sanitation management programs are necessary to prevent foodborne disease outbreaks in school foodservice operations. The purpose of this study was to identify the elements to improve in order to ensure the safety of school food service by evaluating sanitation management practices implemented under HACCP-based programs. The survey was designed to assess the level of hygiene practices of school food service by using an inspection checklist of food hygiene and safety. Fifty-four school foodservice establishments considered as poor sanitation practice groups from two year inspections by Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education were surveyed from September to December in 2005. Inspection checklists consisted of seven categories with 50 checkpoints; facilities and equipment management, personal hygiene, ingredient control, process control, environmental sanitation management, HACCP system and safety management. Surveyed schools scored $68.0{\pm}12.42$ points out of 100 on average. The average score (% of compliance) of each field was 10.7/20 (53.3%) for facilities and equipment management, 7.4/11 (67.2%) for personal hygiene, 7.4/11 (74.1%) for ingredient control, 22.4/32 (69.8%) for process control, 8.9/12 (73.8%) for environmental sanitation management, 4.2/7 (59.7%) for HACCP systems management, and 7.2/8 (89.7%) for safety management, respectively. The field to be improved first was the sanitation control of facilities and equipment. The elements to improve this category were unprofessional consultation for kitchen layout, improper compartment of the kitchen area, lacks of pest control, inadequate water supply, poor ventilation system, and insufficient hand-washing facilities. To elevate the overall performance level of sanitation management, prerequisite programs prior to HACCP plan implementation should be stressed on the school officials, specifically principals, for the integration of the system.

Background: Career success is the psychological achievement associated with an individual's work. Protean career management behavior is the behavior of managing individual careers in order to achieve individual career goals. The purpose of this study was to clarify the career success of dental hygienists as perceived by clinical dental hygienists and to compare the relationship between career success and protean career management behavior. Methods: Nationwide convenience samples of clinical dental hygienists were obtained; 354 people were surveyed online, and the data of 350 people were finally analyzed. The perception of career success of dental hygienists was assessed using a multiple response method. T-test, ANOVA, and χ2 tests were performed to investigate the differences and relationships between protean career management behavior and career success according to the general characteristics. Results: Career success was recognized by clinical dental hygienists as "income", "work proficiency", "patient consultation", "self-satisfaction", and "recognition by superiors" in order. There were significant differences in protean career management behavior according to general characteristics (p<0.05). Higher career management behavior was common in those higher in age, in married participants, in those with higher educational background, and in those with a higher career, better position, and more job change experience (p<0.05). Among the variables of career success perceived by clinical dental hygienists, "work proficiency" had a significant effect on "career management behavior" (p<0.05). "Work proficiency" and "recognition by superiors" were significant in "protean technological development behavior," and they also influenced actual behavior (p<0.05). Conclusion: The relationship between dental hygienists' career success and protean career management behavior was clarified. Dental hygienists performed career management behaviors to develop work ability and skills. In addition, the relationship between career management behavior and long-term employment was confirmed.

This study has been conducted with continuous dental sanitary education for primary school pupils for five years from 1997 through 2001, based on data obtained from a 97' survey on primary school pupils' recognition on dental hygiene education and their permanent dental health capacity. Following results were drawn through comparative analysis of data obtained during the survey period. Approx 70.77% of the examinees have experienced decay missing feeling (DMF) in the year 2001, suggesting a good effectiveness of dental hygiene education compared with 92.1 % of DMF rate in 1997. It has been found that pupils' knowledge and recognition on dental hygiene and management, etc were improved, as well as their eating habits and consciousness were changed. Comparative analysis of annual DMF showed that DMF rate, DMFT index, and DT rate were found to decrease every year, suggesting a improved dental health capacity. Grade level analysis revealed that DMFT index and DT rate were found to decrease every year during the survey period, suggesting pupils' dental management and consciousness were improved and changed. It has been found that DMF rate more significantly increased in a higher grade in 2001 than 1997. There was no difference in DMF rate between grades of primary school in 1997. However, in the year 2001 increment of approx 10% of DMF rate were observed in a higher grade.

본 연구는 건강한 성인 33명을 대상으로 예방관리프로그램의 핵심인 PMTC를 활용하여 구강건강의 변화를 치면세균막지수와 치은염지수를 통하여 관찰하여 최적의 관리주기를 찾아보고자 연구를 실시한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 주기에 따른 치면세균막관리점수와 치은염지수를 비교한 결과, 4차 방문에서 가장 구강위생관리가 잘되고 있는 것으로 나타났고 치은염지수도 가장 좋게 나타났다(p<0.05). 하지만 3개월 follow-up에서 구강위생상태는 나빠졌다(p<0.05). 그러나 3개월, 6개월 follow-up에서는 1차 방문보다 구강위생이 향상된 상태를 보였다(p<0.05). 이는 매주 반복된 구강위생관리학습에서는 효과를 보였으나 올바른 구강위생관리능력이 배양되지 않은 상태에서 이행된 계속관리주기는 적절하지 못하였다. 하지만 예방관리프로그램의 효과는 있음을 확인할 수 있었고 재교육의 중요성을 인지할 수 있는 결과였다. 둘째, 평균 치은염지수에서 1차 방문부터 3차 방문으로 이행될수록 치은염지수의 차이가 크게 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 4차 방문의 치은염지수는 3차 방문보다 개선되지 않은 경향을 보였다(p>0.05). 이는 PMTC를 3회 이상 적용하였을 때 잇몸건강에 효과가 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 연구 종료 후 문진 결과, 프로그램 경험에 따른 피험자들의 구강위생상태와 잇몸건강에 영향을 미치는 동기부여방법은 1차 방문에서는 '위상차현미경', follow-up에서는 '평가지수'가 구강위생관리력을 향상시키는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 피험자들의 54.5%가 프로그램 경험 후 1개월 단위를 추천하는 적정 관리주기로 응답하였다. 이상의 결과에서 PMTC 중심의 예방관리프로그램의 운영은 구강위생상태를 개선하는 데 효과가 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 4차 방문과 계속관리를 비교한 연구결과와 프로그램 경험 후 문진에서 조사된 피험자들의 응답을 통하여 올바른 구강위생관리능력이 배양되지 않은 상태에서의 적정 관리주기는 1개월인 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 예방관리프로그램의 경험에 따른 문진에서 피험자들의 구강위생관리력에 영향을 미치는 동기부여방법으로 위상차현미경과 평가지수가 구강위생관리력을 향상시키는 경향을 보이는 것으로 조사되어 위상차현미경의 사용과 구강위생상태의 평가는 필요하며 평가된 내용을 문자 전송하는 방식의 도입 또한 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 그래서 향후 추가 연구에서는 환자의 특성에 따른 구강위생관리를 위한 태도 변화를 유도하기 위한 학습기간에 대한 연구를 통하여 적정 관리주기에 대한 심도 있는 연구는 필요하리라 생각된다.
