Objectives : Periodontal disease is a serious oral disease that frequently occurs among adults. The objective of this study is to provide necessary data for the development of an oral health care program that can effectively manage periodontal disease and subsequently maintain and enhance oral health. Methods : Data was collected from patients of a dental clinic in Daejeon, Korea from 1 July to 25 August 2009. A thesis submitted to the Committee of Graduate School of Public Health & Biotechnology Chungnam National University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health conferred in February, 2010. Results : 68% of the patients were aware of periodontal disease, with older patients exhibiting better awareness. 48.0% replied that their periodontal health is good in general, with older patients inclined to say that their periodontal health was poor. 70.5% cited bad brushing habit or skipping the act of tooth brushing as the cause of periodontal disease, while 63.5% reported brushing their teeth an average of 3 times a day. 56.5% said that they brush their teeth correctly, and 63.5% told that they brush their teeth up and down, and left to right and 70.0% replied that they would attend an educational program for the prevention of periodontal disease, with older patients shown to more likely attend such a program. Conclusion : a program that can motivate people to become aware of the importance of oral health care should be developed and implemented. Such a program should include the dissemination of correct and accurate oral health care information and measures for educating people about the importance of prevention.

Background: In India smokeless tobacco users account for 25.9% of total tobacco use, Gutkha being the most common form. This study evaluated the association between serum lipid profile and Gutkha use as an early diagnostic and/or prognostic indicator for oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and oral cancer (Oral Ca) in non-smokers and non-alcohol consumers. Materials and Methods: A total of 163 participants were recruited from two sites in India. Participants were divided into four groups: individuals without any Gutkha chewing habit and without any oral lesions (control group), individuals with Gutkha chewing habit but without any oral lesions (GWL), patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of OSMF, and patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Oral Ca. Mixed linear modelling (MLM) was conducted to detect the change in mean serum lipid levels among four groups. Results: The sample consisted of 69% males and 31% females. Results of MLM show an inverse relationship between serum lipid levels in OSMF, and Oral Ca groups when compared to the control group. Conclusions: The results of our study demonstrated that GWL, OSMF and Oral Ca patients had lower serum lipid levels. Low serum lipid levels could be an indicator of initial neoplastic changes in oral cancer.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the degree of dry mouth and oral health-related quality of life and to identify factors contributing to oral health-related quality of life for community-dwelling elders. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was used. Participants were 156 older adults from two senior welfare centers. Data were collected on February 21, 22 and 29, 30, 2009 using structured questionnaires. Enter type multiple regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing oral health-related quality of life according to general and oral health characteristics. Results: There were significant differences in oral health-related quality of life according to living arrangement, insurance, smoking, number of natural teeth, and denture type. The oral health-related quality of life had significant correlations with the number of chronic disease, number of medications, and dry mouth. Factors influencing oral health-related quality of life for community-dwelling older adults were dry mouth, number of chronic disease, and medical aid, which explained about 47.9% of total variance. Conclusion: These results indicate that in order to promote oral health-related quality of life for older adults, prevention or management of chronic diseases as well as oral health and dry mouth are needed for this population, and especially economically poor elders.

본 연구는 심뇌혈관질환위험군의 구강건강인식과 구강건강행위가 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 간호중재 프로그램의 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다. 자료수집은 전라남도에 소재한 2개의 종합병원 및 보건소, 보건진료소, 노인복지관에서 관리하고 있는 심뇌혈관질환위험군 131명을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 조사하였다. 연구기간은 2018년 2월부터 3월까지 2개월간 시행되었다. 수집한 자료는 기술통계와 t-test, Pearson 상관분석, 단계적 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위는 치주질환인식인 주관적 구강건강상태(r=.261, p=.003), 구강건강의 중요성(r=.250, p=.004), 그리고 구강건강행위(r=.303, p<.001)와 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강건강행위(${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), 연령(${\beta}=.27$, p=.001), 주관적 구강건강상태(${\beta}=.24$, p=.003)로 나타났다. 즉, 구강건강행위가 높을수록, 연령이 높을수록, 주관적 구강건강상태가 좋을수록 심뇌혈관질환 예방행위의 점수가 높아진다고 할 수 있다. 이들 변수의 설명력은 19.3%이었다. 따라서 심뇌혈관질환위험군의 구강건강 수준을 향상시키기 위한 교육 및 중재프로그램 개발이 필요하며 구강건강 인식, 태도 및 행동과 구강건강상태 등에 관한 지속적인 추후연구가 필요할 것이다.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess oral health knowledge and behavior levels of community pharmacists as a step toward projecting them to play the role of oral health partners and to confirm pharmacists' willingness to participate in oral health education programs. Methods: t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed to analyze the data, and correlation analysis was also performed. Results: The mean score for pharmacists' oral health knowledge was 7.29 out of 10. Of the 12 questions asked, the correct answer rate was highest for the question about the effect of smoking cessation on periodontal disease prevention; conversely, the correct answer rate was lowest for the question about the effect of taking medication for gingival infections on periodontal disease prevention. The mean score for pharmacists' oral health behavior was 2.97 out of 4 points. Of all oral health behaviors, brushing twice a day was the most practiced, whereas immediately visiting a dentist in case of an oral health issue was the least practiced. Pharmacists' oral health knowledge and behavior levels showed a weak positive correlation with their intention to participate in oral health education programs. Conclusions: Oral health education programs are necessary to improve community pharmacists' oral health knowledge and behavior.

본 연구는 중년층을 대상으로 구강건강신념과 구강병 예방행동에 관한 융합적 관계를 분석하였다. U시 일부 중년층 280명을 최종 분석 대상으로 하였다. 회귀분석의 결과로 볼 때 구강건강신념 중 구강병 예방행동의도, 구강병 예방행동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 구강건강은 가치 있는 것이라고 느끼는 중요성이었다. 구강병 예방행동의도를 매개로 직간접적 영향을 알아본 결과, 중요성, 유익성 변인이 구강병 예방행동에 미치는 영향은 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났고, 자기 효능감은 완전매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 이미 구강병에 이환되어 심각성과 장애를 느끼고 있는 중장년층의 구강예방행동을 수행할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 구강 건강이 전신질환만큼 중요하다는 중요성과 구강건강이 전신건강에 유익하다는 것을 계몽할 수 있는 중재프로그램 개발이 필요 하겠다.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to identify the oral care status and periodontal disease of middle aged daibetic patients in Korea. Methods: The primitive data were taken from 238 diabetic people in the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES) in 2010 - 2012. The variables included general profiles(gender, age, occupied area, education, and smoking), oral care status(brushing time, brushing time, use of oral hygienic supplies, availability of oral hygienic supplies, oral examination, and recognition of oral health state), and diabetes management(morbidity period, treatment, education, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels). Results: Most of the subjects took gargling more than twice a day and it accounted for 73.5%. Oral hygienic supply users accounted for 24.8%, and most of them used floss brush. Oral examination was done in 19.3% of the respondents and 55.0% thought that their oral health status were very poor. The prevalence rate of the periodontal diseases was 46.6%. Female tended to have a higher rate of periodontal disease than the male. Oral hygienic supply users had lower rate of periodntal disease than those who did not use. Those who had poor subjective oral health status had higher prevalence rate of periodontal disease than those who did not. Conclusions: Periodontal disease is closely related to good oral care of middle aged diabetic patients. It is necessary to develop the program for the prevention of the periodontal disease for the diabetic patients.
