부산 사하구내 경로당과 D 노인대학을 이용하는 65세 이상 노인의 고혈압과 당뇨병에 대한 실태를 비교 조사하여 이를 바탕으로 노인의 구강건강행태 이론을 개발하도록 돕고 보다 전문화된 구강건강행위 전략 구축을 위한 하나의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 설문도구는 인구사회학적 특성, 건강행태, 건강검진, 고혈압 실태, 당뇨병 실태, 삶의 질(EQ5D) 문항으로 구성하였다. 2009년 8월 중순에서 9월 중순까지 약 한 달 동안 사하구내 경로당 10곳과 D 노인대학을 직접 방문하여 설문내용을 자세히 읽어드리고 협조에 응해주시는 65세 이상인 경로당 노인 100명과 D 노인대학 학생 74명으로 총 174명을 대상으로 자료수집 하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 교차분석을 통한 ${\chi}^2$검정, 독립표본 t 검정을 하였다. 연구결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 건강검진관련 항목 중 최근 1년 동안 혈압을 한번이라도 측정한 경우가 94.8%로 높았으며, 최근 1년 동안 혈당을 측정한 경우도 91.4%로 높게 나타났다. 건강관련 정보 취득원의 경우 경로당 노인은 방송을 통해서가 50.0%, 노인대학 노인은 전문가 강좌 및 상담이 64.8%로 약간 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 2. 고혈압인 경우가 32.2%로 나타났으며, 최초 고혈압 발견은 병원 진료 시 83.9%로 가장 많았다(p < 0.05). 고혈압 진단 장소는 병의원 50.0%로 나타났으며(p < 0.05), 고혈압을 진단받은 시기는 5년 이하 50.0%로 가장 많게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 정기적 혈압점검은 월 1회 이상 76.8%로 가장 많았고(p < 0.05), 혈압조절여부에서는 잘 조절된다가 75.0%로 가장 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 혈압약 복용은 경로당 노인은 매일 복용함이 85.7%로 가장 많았으며 노인대학 노인은 매일 복용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 3. 당뇨병인 경우가 14.4%로 나타났으며, 당뇨병 최초 발견은 병원 진료 시 80.0%로 나타났다(p < 0.05). 개인용 혈당측정기 보유에서는 아니오가 64.0%로 약간 높게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 4. 삶의 질의 측정 항목 중 운동능력에서 경로당과 노인대학 노인 모두 걷는데 지장이 없다가 62.7%로 많았으며, 두 군을 비교해 보면 경로당 노인이 노인대학 노인보다 걷는데 다소 지장이 있는 분들이 조금 더 많았다(p < 0.05). 통증과 불편여부에서는 경로당 노인은 다소 통증이나 불편감이 있다가 다소 많았으며 노인대학 노인은 통증이나 불편감이 없다가 조금 더 많게 나타났다(p < 0.05). 5. 경로당과 노인대학 노인의 오늘 건강상태를 비교한 결과 노인대학 노인이 경로당 노인보다 유의하게 높은 건강상태를 나타냈다(p < 0.05). 이상의 결과에서 대체로 경로당 노인들보다 노인대학 노인들이 건강상태가 비교적 양호하였으며 삶의 질의 항목인 걷는데 지장이 없다와 불안/우울하지 않다라고 생각하는 것이 더 많았으나, 고혈압, 당뇨관리는 경로당과 노인대학 노인 둘 다 어느 정도 잘 되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서 건강행태 및 고혈압·당뇨병 등 주요 질환관리 실태를 기초로 다양한 구강보건교육 및 구강건강증진 프로그램을 개발하여 노인 개개인에게 맞춤형 치과 의료서비스를 제공하여야 한다는 점에서 현재 본 대학에서 실시하고 있는 노인대학 구강건강관리프로그램 운영이 노인의 구강건강행위 실천에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 생각된다. 이번 실태조사에서 노인대학 노인중 고혈압 환자와 당뇨 환자의 수가 적었다는 제한점을 보여 신뢰성 있는 결론을 도출하는 데는 한계가 있다고 생각하나 후속연구에서 보다 많은 대상환자를 확보하고 체계적인 실태조사가 이뤄진다면 그 결과가 노인의 구강건강증진을 위한 프로그램 계획시 필요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으리라 생각한다.

Purpose: A stability-measuring device that utilizes damping capacity analysis (DCA) has recently been introduced in the field of dental implantology. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and reliability of this device by measuring the implant stability of ex vivo samples in comparison with a resonance frequency analysis (RFA) device. Methods: Six implant beds were prepared in porcine ribs using 3 different drilling protocols to simulate various implant stability conditions. Thirty-six pork ribs and 216 bone-level implants measuring 10 mm in height were used. The implant beds were prepared using 1 of the following 3 drilling protocols: 10-mm drilling depth with a 3.5-mm-diameter twist drill, 5-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill, and 10-mm drilling depth with a 4.0-mm-diameter twist drill. The first 108 implants were external-connection implants 4.0 mm in diameter, while the other 108 implants were internal-connection implants 4.3 mm in diameter. The peak insertion torque (PIT) during implant placement, the stability values obtained with DCA and RFA devices after implant placement, and the peak removal torque (PRT) during implant removal were measured. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of the implant stability quotient (ISQ) results obtained using the RFA device at the medial, distal, ventral, and dorsal points were 0.997, 0.994, 0.994, and 0.998, respectively. The ICCs of the implant stability test (IST) results obtained using the DCA device at the corresponding locations were 0.972, 0.975, 0.974, and 0.976, respectively. Logarithmic relationships between PIT and IST, PIT and ISQ, PRT and IST, and PRT and ISQ were observed. The mean absolute difference between the ISQ and IST values on a Bland-Altman plot was -6.76 (-25.05 to 11.53, P<0.05). Conclusions: Within the limits of ex vivo studies, measurements made using the RFA and DCA devices were found to be correlated under a variety of stability conditions.

The dissolution test method and an analytical procedure by HPLC were developed and validated for nafronyl oxalate capsules and tramadol hydrochloride capsules. These drugs were not yet characterized by the dissolution specifications in the Korean Pharmaceutical Codex. So, with each reference and test drugs, we did the preliminary and standard experiments based on the Korean Pharmacopeia Guideline of dissolution testing for solid oral dosage forms. The dissolution test for nafronyl oxalate capsules was carried out under sink conditions as follows: dissolution medium phosphate buffer pH 6.8, paddle rotation speed 100 rpm and vessel volume 900 ml. More than 80% of its label amount was released within 30 min in this method. Also the dissolution test for tramadol hydrochloride capsules was carried out under sink conditions as follows: dissolution medium water, paddle rotation speed 50 rpm and vessel volume 900 ml. More than 90% of its label amount was released within 15 min in this method. The dissolution samples were analyzed with a validated HPLC analytical procedure. The analytical methodology showed acceptable values in terms of specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The dissolution test methods described above were adequate for the purpose and may be proposed as a pharmacopeial standard to assess the performance of nafronyl oxalate capsules and tramadol hydrochloride capsules. Furthermore, the outcomes of this study were expected to help create an environment where safe and high quality drugs would be distributed on the domestic market making contributions to advancing public health.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine dental hygiene students' image of dental hygienist and factors affecting the image of dental hygienist in an effort to provide some information useful for dental hygiene education. It's basically meant to recreate the image of dental hygienist as a professional. Methods : The subjects in this study were 310 sophomores and seniors who ere selected by convenience sampling from three different three-year-course colleges located in Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province and Gwangju. After a survey was conducted, the answer sheets from 277 respondents were analyzed except for 33 incomplete ones. The collected data were analyzed with a SPSSWIN 17.0 program, and statistical data on frequency and percentage were obtained to find out the general characteristics of the subjects, and another statistical data on mean and standard deviation for each item were acquired to check their image of dental hygienist. Besides, t-test, ANOVA and Kruscal-Wallis test, one of nonparametric test, were utilized to look for connections between their general characteristics and image of dental hygienist. Results : 1. They gave a mean of 3.53 to the image of dental hygienist, which showed that the dental hygiene students took a favorable view of dental hygienists in general. 2. Their response to four items showed that they looked at the image of dental hygienist in a positive manner. The four items respectively described dental hygienists as professionals, as ones who played a crucial role in the improvement of national oral health, as ones with professional knowledge and sophisticated knowhow, and as neat and decent people. And their response to the following five items indicated that they looked at the image of dental hygienists in a negative way. One was that dental hygienists were considered to be dental nurses, and another was that the occupation of dental hygienist was a demanding and stressful job. The third was that there was no single, fixed title to call dental hygienists, and the fourth was that dental hygiene wasn't recognized as an independent area. The fifth was that the social standing of dental hygienists was sort of high. 3. In regard to the impact of the general characteristics of the dental hygiene students on their image of dental hygienist, they had a more favorable image of dental hygienist when they perceived dental hygiene in a more positive manner(p<0.001). Conclusions : In order to boost the image of dental hygienist, the working conditions of dental hygienists should be improved, and educational programs should be prepared to provided them extended continuing educational opportunities. And the kind of educational environments that could nurture dental hygienists who are convinced and have a vision should be created.

The risk of cross-contamination in dental clinic is very high. Those who are engaged in dental clinic are exposed to various microorganisms in saliva and blood of patient. Potential possibility of cross-contamination of patient to patient, patient to dentist, dentist to laboratory technician always exist, which is important in the view of public health. It is well known that microorganisms may cause cross-contamination by suck-back of microorganisms into the water supply line or air supply line of dental unit and sprayed back into the next patient's oral cavity. The majority of microorganisms coming from dental unit are water microorganisms from the main water supply which have colonized the tube within the units and multiplied in the relatively warm and stagnant conditions. The purpose of this study is to measure the extent of microbial contamination of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler, to evaluate that dental unit water supply is suitable for drinking water, and to assess the effect of flushing on reduction of microbial contamination of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler. In the first experiment, water samples(50ml) from 20 dental units and 10 ultrasonic scalers in Seoul National Univ. Hosp. were tested for the presence of coliform. The samples were filtered by membrane filtration technique.(Microfil system, Millipore Co. U. S. A.) The filter was then placed onto MacConkey agar plate and the plates with filter on it were incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The colors and shapes of colonies were examined if those were coliform. To verify the presence of coliform, the colonies were inoculated into phenol red lactose broth and incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. The fomation of gas was observed. In the second experiment, water samples from 20 handpieces, 10 ultrasonic scalers and 30 A/W syringes after 0, 2, 4, 6 min. flushing respectively were taken. $200{\mu}l$ water samples were spreaded on Brain Heart Infusion agar plate and the plates were incubated aerobically at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. The number of colony was counted. The results obtained were summarized as follows 1. The water from dental unit and ultrasonic scaler was not suitable for drinking water. 2. No coliform was founded in dental unit and ultrasonic scaler water supply. 3. The number of colony of dental unit and ultrasonic scaler was highest in the group of o min. flushing(p<0.05). 4. There was no statistically significant difference in the extent of microbial contamination among handpiece, ultrasonic scaler and A/W syringe (p>0.05). 5. The number of colony was lowest in the group of 4 min. flushing, but there was no statistically significant difference among 2, 4, 6 min. flushing groups.(p>0.05) 6. It is recommended to flush dental unit water line for 4 min. after use on each patient.

치과방사선 검사에 있어 방사선작업종사자의 위치에 따라 방사선 노출 정도를 평가하고자 촬영실과 납유리, 조작대에서 방사선량률을 측정하였다. 사용된 장치로는 Standard(Max-GLS, Shinhung), 파노라마(PCH-2500, Vatech), 세팔로(PCH-2500), Cone beam CT(PHT-30LFO, Vatech)이며, 방사선측정기는 PM1405 장비이다. 촬영조건은 임상에서 사용하는 인자와 동일하게 설정하였다. 그 결과 촬영실 안에서는 Cone beam CT가 98 uSv/h로 가장 높았으며, standard가 0.4 uSv/h로 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다. 또 파노라마가 촬영방식이 다름으로 인하여 세팔로 보다 높게 측정되었다. 납유리 표면과 조작대에서는 구강내와 파노라마, 세팔로는 모두 기록준위 이하로 측정되었지만, Cone beam CT는 누설선량이 있는 것으로 측정되었다. 이에 방사선작업종사는 적절한 방호도구를 하고 촬영시간을 최대한 줄여야 한다. 또, 방사선실의 구조 또한 효율적으로 설계해야 할 것이다. 치과방사선검사는 최근 지속적으로 증가하고 있기 때문에 환자와 방사선작업종사자에 대한 적절한 방호 대책이 필요하다.

Statement of problem : Accurate impression is essential to success of implant prostheses. But there have been few studies about the accuracy of fixture-level impression technique in internal connection implant system. Purpose: This study evaluated the accuracy of splinted fixture-level impression technique using clinical methods and the effect of internal hex on fit of superstructure in internal connection implant system (Astra Tech). Material and method : Two metal master frameworks made from two abutments (Cast-to Abutment ST) each for parallel and divergent conditions and a corresponding. passively fitting, dental stone master cast with four future replicas (Fixture Replica ST) were fabricated. Ten dental stone casts were made with vinyl polysiloxane impressions from the master cast by acrylic resin splinted fixture-level impression technique. To evaluate the accuracy of impression technique, the fit of master frameworks for test models was evaluated using screw resistance test (SRT) and one-screw test. The results of SRT were recorded as SRT values from grade 1 to grade 5 by 1/4 turn. And to evaluate the effect of hex on fit of superstructure, the same tests were performed after removing hexes of master frameworks. Results: 1. There was only one case (2.5%) showing SRT value of test model below ade 2 in total before and after removing hexes of master frameworks. And, by removing hexes. SRT values decreased in only one test model (5%) and did not change in 17 test models (85%). 2. SRT values of the 1$^{st}$ screws were grade 2 in 80% of cases before, and grade 1 in 80% of cases after removing hexes. And, by removing hexes, SRT values decreased in 72.5% of cases. 3. SRT values of the 2$^{nd}$ screws were grade 3 in 85% of cases before, and grade 3 in 95% of cases after removing hexes. And, by removing hexes, SRT values did not change in 85% of cases. 4. There were only 2 cases regarded as acceptable fit by one-screw test, and SRT values of 2$^{nd}$ screws of both cases were grade 2. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, future-level impression of internal connection implant system is considered to obtain inaccurate working cast, even using acrylic resin splinted impression technique. And, it is considered to be unable improve the fit to remove the hexes of implant restoration.

PURPOSE. To longitudinally assess the quality of life in maxillectomy patients rehabilitated with obturator prosthesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty-six subjects were enrolled in the span of 16 months, out of which six were dropouts. Subjects (age group 20-60 years) with maxillary defects, irrespective of the cause, planned for definite obturator prosthesis, were recruited. The Hindi version of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Head and Neck version 1 of Quality of Life Questionnaire was used before surgical intervention and one month after definitive obturator. Questionnaire includes 35 questions related to the patient's physical health, well being, psychological status, social relation and environmental conditions. The data were processed with statistical package for social science (SPSS). Probability level of P<.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS. The quality of life after rehabilitation with obturator prosthesis was 81.48% (${\pm}13.64$) on average. On item-level, maximum mean scores were obtained for items problem with teeth ($1.87{\pm}0.94$), pain in mouth ($1.80{\pm}0.92$), trouble in eating ($1.70{\pm}0.88$), trouble in talking to other people ($1.60{\pm}1.22$), problems in swallowing solid food ($1.57{\pm}1.22$) and bothering appearance ($1.53{\pm}1.04$); while minimum scores were obtained for the items coughing ($1.17{\pm}0.38$), hoarseness of voice ($1.17{\pm}0.53$), painful throat ($1.13{\pm}0.43$), trouble in having social contacts with friends ($1.10{\pm}0.40$) and trouble having physical contacts with family or friends ($1.10{\pm}0.31$). CONCLUSION. Obturator prosthesis is a highly positive and non-invasive approach to improve the quality of life of patients with maxillectomy defects.
