  • The goals of this study were to investigate depression and oral health-related quality of life in the military and public and to identify the factors affecting depression. The respondents were 278 soldiers and 228 general people of similar ages. An independent t-test was used to examine the differences between the two groups in the oral health impact profile and Self-rating Depression Scale. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the factors associated with depression in soldiers and the public. The depression level was significantly higher in the general population than in the military personnel (p<0.001). In contrast, the oral health-related quality of life was better in the general population than in the military, but without a statistical significance (p=0.056). Among soldiers, the military rank was the only factor associated with depression, showing a gradient based on the rank. In the general population, the type of work displayed significant associations with depression. As there are some limitations to investigating the factors affecting depression, comparative analyses of the general population groups with similar soldier groups are rare. This study encourages future investigations of the advancements in mental health and improvement programs for oral health in each group.

  • Background: Down's syndrome, or trisomy 21, is the commonest congenital chromosome anomaly. With improvement in medical care, these patients increasingly reach adulthood in spite of their physical maldevelopment and mental retardation. And, the number of those who required general anesthesia for dental treatment is increasing. Methods: We reviewed the 26 cases of 22 patients with Down's syndrome who underwent outpatient general anesthesia for dental treatment at the clinic for the disabled in Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The mean age was 22 years. They all had severe mental retardation and some had congenital heart anomaly, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, acute leukemia, autism, cleft palate, and chronic renal failure. For anesthesia induction, 4 cases was needed physical restriction, but others showed good or moderate cooperation. Drugs used for anesthesia induction was thiopental (17 cases) and sevoflurane (9 cases). All patients received nasotracheal intubation and 3 cases needed difficult airway management. Mean total anesthetic time was $166{\pm}60$ min and staying time at PACU was $92{\pm}48$ min. There was no death or long term hospitalization because of severe complications. Conclusion: If general anesthesia is needed, pertinent diagnostic tests and workup about anomaly, and appropriate anesthetic planning are essential for safety.
