Purpose : Authors attempted to evaluate the effect on explanation of pathogenesis and stress management as the initial care of temporomandibular disorders. Materials and methods : The materials were 634 patients with temporomandibular disorder, who had been referred to our Department of Dentistry, Wonju Christian Hospital during recent 5 years. We examined about clinical aspects of temporomandibular disorders, such as, major signs of temporomandibular joint disorder, life environment and habits, radiological findings of temporomandibular joint and electromyography of masseter muscle. The patients were treated by explanation of TMJ pathogenesis and stress management. After that, the patient were evaluated about the effect in third week. Results : The result was more favorable (96.5% success rate) without intolerable signs of temporomandibular joint disorder. Conclusion : The explanation of TMJ pathogenesis and stress management were thought as the very effective care in management of patients with temporomandibular disorder.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness towards oral health environmental changes and oral health in smokers and non-smokers in soldiers. Methods : Data were obtained from 350 soldiers serving at Unit M in Gwangju and Gyeonggi-do and ROTC candidates at University Y in Gyeonggi-do from April 28 to May 5, 2013. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0 program and a significant level was set at 0.05. Results : Non-smokers had more knowledge on tooth staining or gum diseases than smokers(p<0.05). The awareness towards the causes of oral cancer was not much different between the smokers and the non-smokers. The soldiers having dental health education tended to smoke less than those who had no education(p<0.05). The awareness towards individual oral health revealed no difference between the smokers and the non-smokers. Non-smokers had higher subjective knowledge on of the importance of the oral health, smoking influence on the oral health, and secondhand smoking impact on the health(p<0.05). Conclusions : The oral health education by the dental hygienists is very important in the military camps. Non-smokers tended to have higher knowledge on oral health than the non-smokers.

본 연구는 구강환경요인을 살펴보고, 구강환경이 구강세균 검출에 미치는 위험요인 알아보고자 시행하였다. 연구기간은 2015년 2월 15일~ 2월 28일까지 성인 근로자 60명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 연구변수로는 안정시, 자극시 타액분비율, 타액완충능, 타액 pH, 설배와 설하 구강건조도, 구취 설태량을 측정하였다. 구강세균의 검출 유무를 확인하기 위하여 안정시 타액분비율의 gDNA를 추출하여 균을 검출하였다. 그 결과, S.mutans균은 흡연자 15배, 자극시, 안정시 타액분비율 1.3~1.6배 위험도가 더 높았으며, P.intermedia는 흡연자 13배, 설하 구강건조도 4.3배, 설태량 4배 TM7은 설하 구강건조도 5.5배 더 높은 위험도를 나타냈다. 구강 내 세균을 줄이기 위해서는 타액분비율을 촉진시키는 습관을 형성하고, 금연교육을 시행함이 중요하다고 본다. 또한 구강위생이 깨끗하고 관리가 잘되는 성인에서는 구강세균이 많이 줄어들고, 구강질환을 좀 더 예방할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

선원들의 구강건강 유지 및 중진을 위해 구강건강실태를 조사 분석하기 위하여 한국해양수산연수원에서 안전교육을 이수하고 있는 선원들을 대상으로 한 조사에서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1일 잇솔질 횟수는 2회가 $51.0\%$로 가장 많았고, 잇솔 방향은 섞어서가 $39.0\%$로 가장 많았으며, 스켈링은 $64.2\%$가 경험이 있었고 1일 간식 횟수는 2-3회가 $62.6\%$로 가장 많았다. 구강건강 인식은 '건강하다' $25.9\%$, '약하다' $38.8\%$로 응답하였고, 영구치의 충치경험은 $78.1\%$였으며, 현재 구강불편중상은 '이가 시리다' 가 $25.6\%$로 가장 높았다. 연령별 구강불편중상은 40대 미만은 충치, 40대이상은 이가 시리다의 응답이 높았고 간식횟수가 많을수록 구강 질환이 많곤 충치 경험도 높게 나타났다. 이상의 조사 결과에서 선원들의 구강보건을 적절히 관리하려면 우선적으로 장애요인인 시간적, 경제적 제약의 해결이 우선되어야 하겠으며 선원들의 구강보건 교육을 기획 할 때는 실천성이 높은 교육계획이 되도록 노력해야 할 것이다.

Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine intra-oral factors that affect halitosis in young women. Methods: This study was performed between March 2014 to May 2014, and included 35 women in their 20s with good oral health. Correlation and logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the change in halitosis immediately, and 1 hour after scaling. Results: In both oral gas (OG) and extraoral gas (EG) groups, halitosis was reduced after scaling compared to before scaling. The logistic regression analysis of oral state factors in OG showed that as oral fluid [odds ratio (OR) = 0.792, p = 0.045] and dental plaque (OR = 0.940, p = 0.016) decreased by 1 unit, the OR in the OG group decreased (> 50). In addition, as glucose levels in the oral cavity (OR = 1.245, p = 0.075) and tongue coating index (OR = 2.912, p = 0.064) increased by 1 unit, the OR in the OG group increased (> 50). Furthermore, in the EG group, as oral fluid (OR = 0.66, p = 0.01) and dental plaque (OR = 0.95, p = 0.04) decreased, the OR in the EG group decreased (> 50) significantly. Conclusion: To control halitosis, it is necessary to increase oral fluid and decrease the amount of tongue plaque. Furthermore, maintaining a healthy oral environment, aided by regular scaling and removal of dental plaque, may significantly control halitosis.

This study sought to explore the relationships between health behavior, oral health behavior and community periodontal index away the adult in korea. The date of 'The fifth korean national health and nutrition examination survey 2010' was analyzed for this study. The questionnaire was measured regarding health behavior, oral health behavior, community periodontal index and socio-economic characteristics. For statistical analysis, the SPSS 19.0 for Windows was used. We determined frequencies, percentage and determining statistical significance using multiple regression analysis. General characteristics showed differences in community periodontal index associated with residence, gender, age, income level, education, division of basic livelihood security. Health behavior showed differences in community periodontal index associated with smoking, AUDIT. Oral health behaviors showed differences in community periodontal index associated with dental care treatment, utilization of dental hospitals, dental check up, tooth brushing, use oral health supplies. In conclusion, in order to reduce community periodontal index of the adult, the importance and needs of periodontal status should be emphasized. periodontal status related education and program for the adult should be operated.

Decompression is considered an effective treatment for odontogenic cystic lesions in the jaw. A variety of decompression devices are successfully used for the treatment of keratocystic odontogenic tumors, radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts, and ameloblastoma. The purpose of these devices is to keep an opening between the cystic lesion and the oral environment during treatment. The aim of this report is to describe an effective decompression tube using a stainless steel tube and wire for treatment of jaw cystic lesions.

Purpose: The use of electronic tools in teaching is growing rapidly in all fields, and there are many options to choose from. We present one such platform, Learning Catalytics$^{TM}$ (LC) (Pearson, New York, NY, USA), which we utilized in our oral and maxillofacial radiology course for second-year dental students. Materials and Methods: The aim of our study was to assess the correlation between students' performance on course exams and self-assessment LC quizzes. The performance of 354 predoctoral dental students from 2 consecutive classes on the course exams and LC quizzes was assessed to identify correlations using the Spearman rank correlation test. The first class was given in-class LC quizzes that were graded for accuracy. The second class was given out-of-class quizzes that were treated as online self-assessment exercises. The grading in the self-assessment exercises was for participation only and not accuracy. All quizzes were scheduled 1-2 weeks before the course examinations. Results: A positive but weak correlation was found between the overall quiz scores and exam scores when the two classes were combined (P<0.0001). A positive but weak correlation was likewise found between students' performance on exams and on in-class LC quizzes (class of 2016) (P<0.0001) as well as on exams and online LC quizzes (class of 2017) (P<0.0001). Conclusion: It is not just the introduction of technological tools that impacts learning, but also their use in enabling an interactive learning environment. The LC platform provides an excellent technological tool for enhancing learning by improving bidirectional communication in a learning environment.

일반적으로 약물은 경구투여를 우선으로 한다. 그것은 환자에게 투여하기가 가장 쉬운 방법이기 때문이다. 하지만 경구투여를 하는 경우 인체에서 약물이 분해 및 흡수되면서 거치는 과정 중에 상당수가 없어지고 약효를 발휘하는 부분은 그다지 많지 않다. 그러다 보니 적절한 혈중 농도를 유지하기 위하여 실제 필요한 약물의 양보다 많은 양을 투여하게 되므로, 부수적으로 따라다니는 약의 부작용 또한 증가하게 된다. 피부질환의 경우에는 약물의 흡수를 돕도록 하는 많은 첨가물과 함께 개발된 외용제가 있다. 대부분 크림형태로 시판되고 있으며 약효를 내는 용량을 피부에 도포하였을 때 전신으로 흡수되는 양은 많지 않아 부작용이 적은 것이 장점이다. 구강점막은 자연적인 barrier가 많은 피부와 달리 혈관까지 도달하는 길이가 짧고, 도포가 어려운 장점막과 달리 접근성이 용이하다. 따라서 도포용 약물의 개발이 많이 시도되고 있으나 타액에 의해 많은 부분이 세척되어 없어지거나 타액속의 물질들로 인하여 변질이 일어나고 있어 피부와 같은 크림형 제제의 개발이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 현재 판매되고 있는 구강내 외용제는 그 수가 매우 제한되어 있다. 도포용 약물을 개발하여 오래 구강점막에 부착하게 하는 것이 용이하지 않으므로 임상가들이 약물을 용액 형태로 사용하여 환자에게 도포하고 있다. 이러한 용액을 머금고 있다가 뱉어내게 하는 가글형태의 약물도포 또한 그 약효가 인정되고 있다. 따라서 현재 임상에서 도포형태로 사용하고 있는 약물의 종류와 효과, 그리고 일반적인 경구투여 약물을 적절한 용해제를 선택하여 용액으로 사용하였을 때 임상적으로 기대할 만한 약효를 발휘할 수 있을지에 대하여 연구해 본다.
