Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, practice, and awareness toward oral health in the special school teachers. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 133 teachers in special education schools in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungbuk, and Jeonbuk. Data were analyzed using the statistical package SPSS WIN 12.0 for frequency, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test(post hoc test), and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : In oral health knowledge, the average score of female teachers was 8.31 in comparison to 7.75 in male teachers(p<.05). In oral health practice, the average score of female teachers was 3.71 and that of male teachers was 3.69. In oral health awareness, the average score of female teachers was 4.12 and male teachers had 3.93. The teachers in special schools had a close positive correlation between oral health awareness and practice(r=.448, p<.05). Conclusions : The teachers tended to have better knowledge of oral health but they did not practice the oral health behavior. The teachers have the important role in oral health management for the disabled children by providing the right toothbrushing method.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in oral health-related quality of life among elderly people aged over 65 years, in terms of physical, mental and oral health status and to analyze factors affecting their oral health-related quality of life. Methods: From May 9 to June 23, 2017, we randomly visited aged-care community centers in the metropolitan area, and recruited 222 elderly, aged 65 or older. First, each participant completed a questionnaire consisting of 4 general items: 1 systematic disease, and 3 subjective oral conditions. Afterwards, the researchers interviewed the participants to assess their mental status, using MMSE-DS and recorded the responses. Finally, an oral examination was performed to determine the number of remaining teeth. The average oral health-related quality of life according to each characteristic was analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis were used to analyze the correlations between factors and the factors affecting oral health-related quality of life. Results: The mean oral health-related quality of life was 4.15. Participants with 20 or more remaining teeth demonstrated better oral health-related quality of life than those with 19 or less teeth. Higher oral health-related quality of life was also found among elderly without gingival bleeding, self-reported halitosis and dry mouth. In addition, positive correlation with the number of remaining teeth and negative correlation with gingival bleeding, self-reported halitosis and dry mouth, were noted. Finally, the results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that remaining teeth, gingival bleeding, self-reported halitosis and education were influential factors in determining the oral health-related quality of life among the elderly. Conclusions: The results of this study confirmed the necessity of better policy support, and the importance of implementing delivered, elderly-centered oral health education program by professionals to prevent tooth loss and manage periodontal diseases.

Propose: This study was to identify the factors affecting the oral health status in vulnerable elders receiving home visiting health care service. Methods: A total of 444 elderly people over the age of 65 at 33 public health centers in Daegu and Gyungbuk areas were included in this survey. The data were collected by personal interview with nurses using oral health knowledge, behavior, and status questionnaires from the $10^{th}$ to $22^{nd}$ of July, 2012. The data were analyzed with t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, and stepwise multiple regression, using SPSS program. Results: Factors affecting the oral health status were chewing satisfaction with denture 14.5% (${\beta}=.391$, p<.001), denture care (wash with water) 3.2% (${\beta}=-.187$, p<.01), and types of health insurance (medical aid type1, 2) 1% (${\beta}=-.111$, p<.05). The factors explained 18.7% of variance in the oral health status of vulnerable elderly subjects. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that in order to improve the oral health status of vulnerable elders, it is necessary to provide oral health education that includes the proper usage of denture to elders who receive home-visiting care.

이 연구에서는 휴대용 정량광형광기인 Q-scan을 이용한 구강관리교육이 어린이가 구강관리를 하는데 있어서 얼마나 효과적인 지를 평가하였다. 6 - 12세의 어린이 중 치아우식위험도 검사결과 중위험 또는 고위험도로 분류된 58명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상자들을 Q-scan 사용군(I군)과 대조군(II군)의 두 군으로 나누고, Qray-cam을 이용하여 simple plaque score (SPS)를 평가한 뒤, 동일한 구강관리교육을 시행하였다. I군에게는 추가적으로 Q-scan을 매일 사용하게 하였다. 한 달 뒤 두 군 모두 SPS와 Cariview score를 재평가하였다. 두 군 모두 구강관리교육 후 Cariview score 및 SPS의 유의한 감소가 있었다(p < 0.001). 두 군 간의 변화된 Cariview score 차이는 유의하였고(p = 0.022), I군에서 II군 대비 감소폭이 더 컸으며, SPS 차이는 유의하지 않았다(p = 0.937). 어린이의 구강위생상태를 개선시키는 것은 기존의 구강관리교육만으로도 효과적이었다고 볼 수 있으나, 가정에서 휴대용 정량광형광기를 추가로 사용하는 것은 구강관리에 대한 어린이들의 행동변화를 유도하는 데에 도움을 주므로 더 효과적인 방법으로 볼 수 있다.

본 연구는 올바른 구강보건교육과 칫솔질 교육을 통해 아동들의 구강건강에 관한 관심을 증진시키고 구강관리법의 변화와 개선 정도를 알아보고 더 나아가 좀 더 효율적인 구강보건교육의 방법을 모색하고자 하였다. 강원도 태백시 보건소에서 2003년 4월 1일부터 12월 16일까지 구강보건교육에 참가한 631명의 미취학 아동들을 대상으로 시행하였다. 매회 약 20-30명 정도를 대상으로 약 30분 정도 시청각 자료를 이용한 치과의사의 직접설명과 아동들이 참여놀이를 이용하여 구강보건교육 후 칫솔질 교육과 불소 겔 도포를 시행하였으며, 불소도포 과정 중 대기하는 아동들은 구강보건교육 비디오를 시청하도록 하였다. 구강보건교육의 효과와 아동들의 구강 건강관리의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 하반기 교육 후 아동들의 부모와 선생님들을 대상으로 설문지를 작성하게 하고 그 결과를 수집, 분석하였다. 아동들은 보건소에서의 전문가 구강보건교육을 시행한 후 치아우식증에 대한 지식이 향상되었으며, 치과 치료에 대한 두려움이나 공포가 감소하는 변화가 있었다. 많은 아동들이 올바른 칫솔질 방법을 습득하였으며 칫솔질 횟수의 증가를 보였다. 또한 칫솔질에 대한 재미와 흥미를 유발하는 효과도 나타내었다. 아동들은 구강보건교육을 통해 치아에 좋은 음식과 해로운 음식을 구별 할 수 있는 능력을 가지게 되었고 미약하나마 식습관의 변화를 발견할 수 있었다. 본 조사를 통해 미취학 아동의 구강보건교육은 매우 실효성이 있는 것으로 판단되며 가정에서나 유치원, 치과에서의 구강보건교육의 확대가 요구된다.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the perception of elderly oral health care in the care workers in nursing homes. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 200 care workers in nursing homes in Daegu and Busan. Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 program. Results : The oral health care was maintained by innately healthy mouth(49.5%), dentists(48.5%), public health centers including institution and dentistry(46.5%), regular visit to dentistry(44.0%), and ingestion of healthy food(38.5%). Fifty eight percent of the respondents(116 persons) agreed that regular and proper toothbrushing is the most important behavior to maintain the healthy teeth. The regular visit to dental clinics(Wald=7.076, p=0.008) and an oral care by specialist (Wald=5.210, p=0.022) influenced on elderly oral health status(p<0.05). Conclusions : The oral health care education is very important for the workers in the nursing homes that the education can improve the perception toward the elderly oral health.
