본 연구는 고등학생들의 구강위생용품의 인지, 실천실태와 주관적 구강건강인식도를 조사하여 올바른 구강위생용품의 사용을 수행할 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. K지역 고등학생 260명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 수행하여 결과는 다음과 같다. 구강위생용품을 인지할수록 구강위생용품의 실천도(p<0.05)가 높은 결과를 나타났다. 주관적 구강건강인식(p<0.05)과도 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이는 구강위생용품 사용에 올바른 실천을 위해서는 구강위생용품의 교육의 필요를 의미한다고 볼 수 있다. 구강위생용품의 올바른 세치제 사용양 인지에서 모1/3사용이 가장 높게 나왔지만, 실천도에서는 모3/3사용이 가장 높게 나왔다. 연구결과 구강보건교육에만 국한 되지 않고 실천에도 영향을 줄 수 있는 구강보건교육 프로그램이 필요하다고 사료된다. 학업으로 인해 의료기관에 접근이 어려운 학생들에게 구강보건교육의 습득경로 대중매체의 경로로 더 보급하고 학교구강보건교육 시행을 위한 프로그램 개발과 시행이 무엇보다 중요하다고 사료되어진다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of exaggerated advertisements in the Korean oral hygiene product market and to urge dental hygienists to play the role of experts. The exaggerated advertisements on the largest online shopping platform in Korea were investigated. Searches were performed with keywords related to oral hygiene, such as "bad breath" and "tartar", and product names of 1,000 products listed at the top were investigated to select the suspicious ones. The situation was found to be grave; for example, a mouthwash capable of preventing coronavirus disease, which lacks scientific evidence, and a self-tartar remover that did not guarantee safety or performance were being sold. Strict government supervision is required, and dental hygienists must be urged to play an active role as oral health experts.

Objectives: Preservatives, suspected to be endocrine disrupting chemicals, are widely used in feminine hygiene products for the prevention of deterioration. Information regarding the usage patterns of feminine hygiene products and the concentrations of preservatives in these products is limited. The present study was conducted to investigate the use of feminine cleansers among Korean women and quantify the concentration of preservatives in feminine cleansers. Methods: Approximately 500 women were recruited from the city of Busan in August 2017 and a questionnaire survey was conducted on the use of feminine cleansers. Several major feminine hygiene products (n=69) were identified and selected for analysis of 22 preservatives. Following appropriate preparation, the products were analyzed by HPLC/DAD. Results: Over 70% of the participating women used at least one feminine cleanser. Marital status and parity were associated with the frequency of use. Liquid was most frequently used form of feminine cleanser (66.6%). The greatest proportion of subjects answered that they use it 'one to two times per week' (36.5%). Among the 69 feminine cleansers, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, phenoxyethanol, and methyl paraben were detected at $144-4,428{\mu}g/g$, $195-1,470{\mu}g/g$, $269-4,237{\mu}g/g$, and $625-4,901{\mu}g/g$, respectively. BA was the most frequently detected (46.4%). Conclusions: In the present study, the characteristics of feminine cleanser use among Korean women were investigated. Based on an analysis of preservatives in the feminine hygiene products, one product was determined to exceed the maximum authorized concentration of MeP (0.4%). Our results will help refine exposure and risk assessment for toxic chemicals in feminine cleansers.

연구목적: 본 연구는 국내에서 시판되고 있는 구강위생용품을 조사하고 구강위생용품에 함유된 불소 농도와 형태에 대한 정보를 제공하기 위해 시행하였다. 연구방법: 국내 시판 구강위생용품을 선택하여 총 67개를 오프라인 시장에서 구매하여 평가하였다. 연구결과: 국내 시판중인 치약 중 1,000 ppm의 불소 농도를 함유한 치약이 59.3%로 가장 많은 비중을 차지했으며, 불소를 함유하지 않은 치약은 3.7%, 1,000 ppm 이하의 불소 농도를 함유한 치약은 33.3%, 1,000 ppm 이상의 불소 농도를 함유한 치약은 3.7%로 나타났다. 선택한 구강양치액 제품의 불소 이온농도를 측정해본 결과, 300 ppm 이내의 불소 이온농도를 나타냈다. 또한 6개의 구강양치액 중 2개의 제품만이 불소 농도를 표기하고 있었다. 구강위생용품의 불소 함량을 나타내는 정보는 제품 종이상자 및 제품 자체에 표기되어 있으나, 거의 모든 표기는 뒷면에 작성되어 있으며 일부 제품에서는 제품 자체에 표기되어 있지 않은 경우도 있었다. 또한 표기된 정보 내용도 제조업체 간, 제조업체 내에서도 상이함을 확인되었다. 결론: 1,000 ppm 이상의 높은 불소 농도를 함유한 치약을 포함한 다양하고 효과적인 불소 농도의 구강위생용품들이 제공됨으로써 소비자들에게 더 넓은 선택의 폭을 제시하면 좋을 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 국내에서 시판 중인 구강위생용품에 대한 소비자에게 제공되는 정보가 다소 적은 것으로 사료되어, 소비자의 구강위생용품 선택에 대한 편의를 위해 명확한 기준 및 정보 표기에 대하여 개선해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 KNHANES 제6기 1차 년도(2013년) 자료를 이용하여 성인의 구강위생용품 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 만 19세 이상 성인 4,839명을 최종 분석대상자로 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 교차분석 결과 구강위생용품의 사용(하루 칫솔질 빈도, 치실 사용 여부, 치간칫솔 사용 여부, 구강양치용액 사용 여부)은 성별, 나이, 교육수준, 가구소득, 결혼상태, 치과의료 이용, 치과검진 여부와 통계적으로 유의한 관련성을 나타냈다. 구강위생용품 사용에 미치는 변수를 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 살펴본 결과 성별, 교육수준이 공통적인 영향요인으로 나타났으며, 구강위생용품에서 모두 공통되지는 않았지만 구강건강상태와 치과의료 이용, 최근 1년간 치과검진 여부가 통계적으로 유의한 관련성을 나타냈다. 치과 전문인력인 치과위생사는 구강위생용품을 세분화하여 각 영향 요인을 인식하고 개인의 특성 및 구강상태를 반영한 구강보건교육매체 및 프로그램 개발을 통해 국민구강보건증진에 기여해야 할 것이다.

Background: Good oral health is important for systemic body health and quality of life. Spray oral cleansers are increasingly preferred because of their convenience of carrying and the ease of oral hygiene management. In addition, many kinds of oral cleanser products containing various ingredients with antibacterial, washing, and moisturizing effects are being manufactured. However, concerns about the safety and side effects of oral sprays are increasing, and there is very little information regarding the use and care of oral sprays is available to consumers. This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral spray on oral bacteria and tissue to elucidate the factors that need to be considered when using oral sprays. Methods: The effects of oral spray on the growth of dental plaque bacteria was assessed using disk diffusion assays. Cytotoxicity and morphological changes in oral epithelial cells were observed by microscopy. The effects of oral spray on dental plaque growth were also confirmed on specimens from permanent incisors of bovines by Coomassie staining. Results: The pH of spray products, such as Perioe Dental Cooling, Cool Sense, and Dentrix, were 3.65, 3.61, and 6.15, respectively. All tested spray products showed strong toxicity to dental plaque bacteria and oral epithelial cells. Compared with those on the control, dental plaque bacteria deposits on the enamel surface increased following the use of oral spray. Conclusion: Three types of oral spray, namely Perioe Dental Cooling, Cool Sense, and Dentrix, strongly inhibited the growth of dental plaque bacteria and oral epithelial cells. The oral spray ingredient enhanced dental plaque growth on the enamel surface. Users should be informed of precautions when using oral sprays and the need for oral hygiene after its use.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to identify the risk factors of genital infection by examining the genital hygiene practice followed by adult women of reproductive age. The results can be applied as basic data for health education and health management on female genital hygiene practices. Methods: Data ware collected by conducting an online survey, comprising 200 adult women of reproductive age. Genital infections according to genital hygiene practice were analyzed by simple logistic regression. Results: In this study, the Odds Ratio (OR) of genital infection occurrence of genital hygiene practices used were disposable briefs 4.11 (CI 1.79-9.39, p=0.020), feminine deodorant spray 3.13 (CI 1.37-7.15, p=0.007), deodorant, vaginal inserts (tabs/supp) 10.60 (CI 3.97-28.28, p<0.001), over the counter anti-itch products 3.73 (CI 1.67-8.34, p=0.001), blotting 11.47 (CI 4.62-28.48, p<0.001), natural sea sponge 4.98 (CI 2.04-12.15, p<0.001), reusable cotton pads 5.76 (CI 2.48-13.33, p<0.001), tampons 2.60 (CI 1.17-5.77, p=0.019), tampons/pads between periods 4.79 (CI 2.07-11.10, p<0.001) and tampons/pads combination 4.11 (CI 1.79-9.39, p=0.001) Conclusion: Our results indicated the necessity to refrain from unnecessary application of genital hygiene practices, which is highly related to genital infections identified in this study. There is a need to continue education for proper performance.
