양산시 초등학교 중 2000년부터 2005년까지 5년간 0.2% 불화나트륨용액으로 매주 1회 불소용액양치를 한 초등학교를 대상으로 구강검사를 하고 전산통계분석으로 각종 구강보건지표를 비교 분석한 후 5년간 불소용액양치사업의 효과를 검토한 결과, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 2000년 전체아동 영구치우식경험자율은 평균 58.4%이었고, 2005년 전체아동 영구치우식경험자율은 평균 48.3% 이어서 5년간 불소용액양치사업을 실시한 결과 평균 10.1%가 낮았다. 2. 2000년 전체아동 우식영구치지수는 평균 2.46개이었고, 2005년 전체아동 우식영구치지수는 평균 1.70개이어서 0.2% 불화나트륨으로 5년간 불소용액양치사업을 실시한 결과 평균 0.76개가 적었다. 3. 2000년 전체아동 충전영구치지수는 평균 0.55개이었고, 2005년 전체아동 충전영구치지수는 평균 0.37개로 0.2% 불화나트륨으로 5년간 불소용액양치사업을 실시한 결과 평균 0.18개가 적었다. 4. 2000년 우식경험영구치지수는 평균 2.61개이었고, 2005년 우식경험영구치지수는 평균 1.64개이어서 5년간 불소용액 양치사업을 실시한 결과 평균 0.97개가 적었다. 5. 전체아동의 평균 구강위생관리능력지수는 2000년 12.12점이었고, 2005년 5.95점으로 5년간 불소용액양치사업을 실시한 결과 평균 6.17 낮았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 수돗물불소농도조정사업을 실시하지 않는 지역에서 치아우식증을 예방을 위해 유치원생부터 중학생까지 모두 불화나트륨용액으로 양치를 하도록 교육청의 적극적인 지원과 관심이 요망되었다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to find out caries preventive effect on permanent teeth among children who brush teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste by supervised weekly fluoride mouthrinsing program in elementary schools. Methods: The epidemiologic dental survey was performed on the elementary schoolchildren of supervised weekly fluoride mouthrinsing program (FMR) with 0.2 percent neutral sodium fluoride solution and control group in 2007. Caries preventive effect on permanent teeth by fluoride mouthrinsing program were calculated by DMFT index and DMFS index between FMR group and control group. Results: By DMFT index between FMR group and control group, caries rates on permanent teeth of the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade children participating in FMR program were 34.1%, 40.8% and 31.5%, respectively. By the DMFS index between FMR group and control group, caries preventive rates on permanent teeth of the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade children participating in FMR program were calculated 25.4%, 37.7% and 33.5%, respectively. Conclusions: We suggest that fluoride mouthrinsing program should be developed to all elementary schools to prevent dental caries.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term effects of school-based oral health program on the decrease of dental caries among elementary school children. Methods: The subjects of this study were total 283 students of one elementary school in Deagu, Korea. They had received school-based oral health programs more than one year since 2004. This school-based oral health program included regular oral examination, fluoride mouthrinsing, pit-and-fissure sealing, APF gel application, tooth brushing instruction and chewing the xylitol tablets. The subjects' oral health status were examined and calibrated by a dentist every year from 2004 to 2007. Results: The change of DMFT index were as follows: (1)The subjects who entered the school at 2004 - 0.32(2004), 0.25(2005), 0.25(2006) and 0.38(2007), (2)the subjects who entered the school at 2005 - 0.18(2005), 0.31(2006) and 0.32(2007), and (3)the subjects who entered the school at 2006 - 0.19(2006) and 0.27(2007). Conclusions: This study partially showed the effects of school-based oral health programs on the increments of dental caries. This programs should be expanded widely among elementary schools in Korea.

Demand for appropriate health care has gradually increased in Korea. In addition, developments of community- and school-based oral health programs have also focused oral health care for the oral health promotion. Especially, school-based oral health programs are the underpinnings of promoting oral health and preventing oral diseases among schoolchildren. School-based oral health programs have had three major components: oral health education, oral health services, and a healthful environments. These included oral health education(one-to-one communication, group communication, and use of mass communication), oral examination, fluoride mouthrinsing, pit-and-fissure sealants, fluoride gel application, mechanical plaque control, and chewing xylitol candy. In this study, we evaluate the effects of oral health programs among primary schoolchildren by comparing the oral health knowledge, oral health behaviors, and perception of caries prevention procedures. Data for this study were obtained from 699 primary schoolchildren at the two primary school in Daegu, Korea. One is experimental group, N primary school, that was established school-based oral health center under supervision of Nam-gu Public Health Center, the other is control group, N' primary school, that was yet to establish school-based oral health center. We surveyed children's oral health knowledge and behaviors, and perception of caries prevention procedures using self-administrated questionnaire and then analyzed differences of each item among two groups. The brief findings of this study were summarized as follows. There are several advantage to a comprehensive school-based oral health program. (1) School-based oral health programs facilitate and increase the effectiveness of teaching oral health subjects. (2) Schoolchildren are available for prevention or treatment procedure. (3) School-based oral health center may be less threating than private dental clinic. (4) With comprehensive school-based oral health programs the decayed, missing, and filled teeth(DMFT) of schoolchildren should demonstrate a substantial and steady decrease over time(Choi et al, 2004). In conclusion, treatment is not the answer to solving children's oral health programs; rather primary prevention is the key. Many countries and communities are focusing on hoe millions of underprivileged children can be provided with health care. Schoolchildren gain the knowledge and behaviors to attain and maintain good oral health in schools. For these reasons, the role of school-based oral health center is not only important but also a necessity.
