This investigation was done on Sep. 29 1999 through Oct. 8 examining 376 of elementary, 1grade, 2grade, 3grade students in Kyunggi-Do. The content of the questions was analzed with a t-test and a one-way ANOVA; the relation to the oral care on children by parents with oral care behavior was analyzed by a Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. The results are as follow; 1) Statistically women were higher(F=-2.675, p<0.01). The average of the oral care of children was 2.34, man averaged 2.29, woman are raged 2.32. Statistically women were also higher(F=4.682, p<0.052). 2) The more educatior the mother had higher, the higher the grade. Statistically there was a difference(F=6.756, p<0.01. The oral care of children above Uni graduate(M=2.38), high (M=2:23), middle graduate(M=2.Z3). Statistically, the higher the academic degree, the more optimistic(F=4.114, p<0.05). 3) In the oral care on children by parents, when the conversation with the family was often 2.17, there was little difference(F=7.343, p<0.01). In the oral care of children was 2.45, there was little difference(F=7.343. p<0.01). As a result, the conversation with family affects the behavior. 4) In the oral care of children, if the food that they like was fruits, vegetables, and fresh food, the average was 2.37, very high. There was little difference in other cases(F=-3.179, p<0.05). We can conclude that fresh food affects the oral care of children. 5) In the oral care on children by parents, when the course of knowledge on the oral care was viewed by a grandfather(M=2.02), grandmother(M=2.05), father(M=2.14), mother(M=2.08). There was little difference(F=2.666, p<0.05). 6) In oral care, if the level of income was viewed high level(M=2.42), middle(M=2.34), 10w(M=1.88), there was a little difference(F=3.300, p<0.05). 7) The relation of the oral care on children by parents and the oral care was normal. In other words, the more management by parents, the more management by children.(p<0.01) Therefore in this study, the oral care on children by parents effect the oral care behavior of children.

Primary school is regarded as an important period when many health-related behaviors and life-styles begin to be formed. Acquiring them through school heath education has a strong influence on the health promotion of not only the family but also the community. The objectives of this study were to evaluate current oral health care of elementary schools in Chungnam province and to provide information for further development in elementary school oral health. We performed a questionnaire survey to 280 health teachers and among them, 155 teachers answered. The result of this study were as follows: 1. Sixty five percent of the health teachers had little interest in oral health. Major information sources for teaching oral health were books in 58.1% of the 155 teachers and 83.2% of teachers spent 30 minutes to 1hour per day in oral health care practice for the students. 2. Contents of the oral health education were composed of regular and special curriculums, and an average of education time during a semester was 2.6 hours in 3rd grade, and 1.3 hours in first and second grade. 60.6% of the teachers made the children practice the proper method of tooth brushing during the education time. 3. Major problems in oral health education were insufficient time, lack of equipment and difficulty in teaching method. The educational media were tooth models among 91.0% and OHP among 85.2% of the teachers. The tooth model was usually used in first to fourth grades and OHP in fifth to sixth grades. But 63.9% health teachers need to develop stronger educational methods using multimedia. 4. Meanwhile the most important strategy of oral health in urban schools was health education, that of rural schools was fluoride mouth-rinsing programme. Fluoride mouth-rinsing programmes were performed by 60.0% of the elementary school. Periodic dental examination was performed in all elementary schools. 98.2% of the schools sent the results home through school notification letters, but post-examination management was performed in only 67.1% of them 64.5% of the health teachers do follow-ups on the oral disease of the children after the examination. Only 0.7% of the schools have oral health education plans for the students' parents. Considering these major strategies for elementary school oral health care were health education, practicing proper methods of tooth brushing, periodic dental examinations, and fluoride mouth-rinsing programmes. But health teachers need more time for oral health education, practicing and management, and developing education materials. With regard to the high demand for oral health education and poor follow-up after periodic examination, the oral health education in elementary school should be considered as a formal educational course for more proper management of oral health, including application of major strategies to the children in earlier grades and efforts for increasing recognition and participation of the parents.

The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health awareness and oral health care of health-related and health-unrelated majors in an attempt to stress the importance of oral health education and boost the efficiency of oral health care. The subjects in this study were 363 college students. Out of the selected students, 174 were health-related majors, and 189 weren't. After a survey was conducted, the collected data were analyzed for the purpose of comparison, and the following findings were given: 1. Concerning daily mean toothbrushing frequency, the largest number of the male students who accounted for 55.2 percent brushed their teeth once a day on average, and the greatest number of the female students who represented 52.9 percent did that twice a day. As for the influence of their major, the largest group of the health-related majors who numbered 89(51.1%) brushed their teeth twice a day, and the greatest group of the health-unrelated majors who numbered 93(49.2%) did that once a day. The gaps between them were statistically significant(p<0.05). 2. As to the length of toothbrushing time by gender, it took more than two or three minutes for the largest groups of the male and female students that respectively numbered 96(76.8%) and 184(77.3%) to do toothbrushing(p<0.01). The greatest groups of the male and female students that respectively numbered 72(57.6%) and 183(76.9%) brushed their teeth after meals. 3. In regard to oral hygiene supplies, the largest groups of the health-related and health-unrelated majors that respectively numbered 78(44.8%) and 115(60.8%) had chewing gum and candy with them. As to the use of oral hygiene supplies, 99 health-related majors(56.9%) and 133 health-unrelated majors(70.4%) didn't put oral hygiene supplies to use. Thus, the use of oral hygiene supplies was statistically less common among the health-unrelated majors, and the gap between the two was significant(p<0.01). 4. As for health-related concern by gender, the largest group of the male students that numbered 56(44.8%) showed the most interest in preventing dental caries, and the greatest group of the female students that numbered 103(43.3%) were most concerned about tooth whitening. The gap between the male and female students was statistically significant(p<0.05), but the track of their major made no statistically significant difference to that. 5. Regarding the experience and awareness of scaling, the largest number of the students never got their teeth scaled regardless of gender and major, and the greatest group didn't care about scaling irrespective of gender and major, either, though they considered it advisable to do.
