대구지역 초등학교 학급교사들의 사회인 구학적, 구강보건지식습득경로, 구강위생관리목적, 불소효과에 대한견해, 치아우식증 예방효과, 불소 및 치주질환에 대한 지식도를 알아보기 위하여, 대구광역시에 소재하는 초등학교 8개교(수성구-2개교, 남구 2개교, 북구-2개교, 동구-2개교)를 임의로 선정하여 학교별 각 학급 담임교사들을 대상으로 연구자가 작성한 설문지를 배부하여 응답자 스스로 설문내용을 기입하도록 하여 설문조사를 실시한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 학급교사의 구강보건지식 습득경로는 치과의원과 신문, 잡지, 홍보책자를 통한 경우가 각각 45.8%와 40.0%로 가장 많았으며, 다수의 응답자에서 구강위생관리 목적이 치주질환예방이 우선순위였다. 2. 불소효과에 대한 견해는 불소치약사용이 가장 우선순위로 꼽혔으며, 불소복용이 가장 낮은 순위였다. 3. 치아우식증 예방효과는 정기적인 치과내원이 56.1%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 연령군 치아우식증 예방효과(p<0.01), 및 근무경력별 치아우식증 예방효과에서(p<0.001) 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 4. 불소에 대한 지식도는 배와 치아형성에 기본영양소이다와 미세한 충치를 회복시킨다에서 불소에 대한 지식이 부족하였으며, 치주질환의 원인은 치태이다에서 치주질환에 대한 지식도가 부족하였다. 5. 연령군, 근무경력별 치주질환에 대한 지식도 차이에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors of oral health beliefs on scaling performance by national health insurance coverage in consumers. Methods: The subjects were 353 people living in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do from September 25 to October 20, 2013. They filled out the self-reported questionnaire after receiving informed consents. The questionnaire included 6 questions of general characteristics, 6 questions of oral health behavior, 6 questions of health insurance coverage, and 1 question of subjective oral health recognition. The oral health belief consisted of 6 questions of seriousness, 6 questions of susceptibility, 8 questions of barriers, 5 questions of benefit, and 3 questions of self-efficacy measure by Likert 5 scale. Cronbach's alpha in the study was 0.759. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 for frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, post-hoc Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and binary logistic regression. Results: The influencing factors of oral health belief model were Seriousness(${\beta}=0.091$), Self efficacy(${\beta}=-0.471$) and age(${\beta}=0.855$)(p<0.05). Those who had highly perceived seriousness and younger age tended to have probability of scaling performance. Higher self-efficacy tended to take more chance to have scaling performance probability. Conclusions: In order to cover the scaling by national health insurance, it is very important to notice the benefit of health insurance coverage of scaling to the consumers. National health insurance coverage enables the scaling practice to be easily accessible to the people. Easy access to scaling by low cost strategy can improve the oral health behavior.

Background: Among the health problems in old age, oral health is closely related to nutrition intake and digestion, so although it is an important factor in the well-being of the elderly along with general health, studies examining the relationship between oral health-related factors and grip strength of the elderly are insufficient. Therefore, this study intends to examine the relationship between oral health-related factors and grip strength, which are closely related to the general health of the elderly. Methods: This study used data from the 7th period of Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (2016~2018) approved by the Research Ethics Review Committee of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Complex sample frequency analysis and descriptive statistics were performed, and general linear model analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between demographic characteristics, oral health -related factors and grip strength. The statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0, and the significance test was based on type I error level of 0.05. Results: Grip strength was higher in the case of no discomfort than in the case of discomfort in relation to mastication discomfort and grip strength (B=0.927, p<0.001). In addition, the grip strength was decreased by 1.348 times when not using dental floss (p<0.001) and when not using mouth wash was 1.480 times (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, in the relationship between oral health-related factors and grip strength, grip strength was found to be high in the absence of mastication discomfort. and in the case of using dental floss and mouthwash the elderly showed high grip strength. Therefore, it is suggested to present a lifestyle to improve hand function and grip strength in the elderly and develop a program to increase grip strength and provide them at the same time during oral health education.

The purpose of this study is to provide a guide for selection of oral hygiene devices for nations and establishing valid indication of recently popularized water jet. The author has divided 36 persons into general, orthodontic, periodontal patients according to their oral hygiene state, and then evaluated the degree or decrease in plaque indices and gingival bleeding indices. The obtained results were as follows. 1. When both manual toothbrush and water jet were used together by three kind of patients, significant decreases in plaque index were observed in all patients, after 4 weeks compared with ordinary toothbrushing only(p<0.05). 2. When both oral hygiene devices were used together by three kind of patients, significant decreases in gingival bleeding index were observed in all patients after 4 weeks compared with ordinary toothbrushing only(p<0.05). 3. Singificant differences of the average gingival bleeding index & plaque index among three kind of patients were observed(p<0.05). 4. Therefore, it is concluded that for effective oral hygiene care. water jet can be recommendable to general patients, especially to orthodontic or periodontal patients.

The average annual dental treatment case per student was 0.16. 5. The oral examination case was 0.05, intraoral radiograph 0.01, oral prophylaxis 0.00, filling of dental carious lesion 0.02, pulp treatment 0.02, extraction of teeth 0.04, and others 0.02 annually in the average. In comparison with detectable need for dental treatment cases, oral prophylaxis was not supplied at all, filling of dental carious lesion was supplied about 1% and extraction of teeth was supplied about 10% of detectable need. 6. It was recommended that school incremental dental care project should be developed for school dental health programme in order to supply all of the detectable need for dental treatment.

The coverage of the National Health Insurance for the elderly is expanding to denture and implants. Although the National Long-Term Care Insurance was just being settled, Oral health service was not provided to the Elderly in Long-Term Care Facilities. The long-term care facilities had part-time facility doctors. However, there is no dentist in the long-term care facility because of lack of long-term care insurance-related legislations. The amendments of long-term care insurance-related legislations for the introduction of part-time facility dentists are needed because the elderly in long-term care facility are vulnerable to oral health. For the substantial management of the National Long-Term Care Insurance, the development of oral health service model for the elderly and education materials for the dental team will be needed. Also, adequate dental service fee of the National longterm care insurance will be needed.

Objectives: This study aimed to understand the effect of factors, possibilities, and desires on oral examination experience behavior of the elderly using raw data from the 2017 Community Health Survey. Methods: Hierarchical logistic regression analysis, an analysis method that controls the input order of a series of independent variables, was performed for 67,835 senior citizens aged 65 and older. Results: In terms of predisposing factors-in women, the higher the level of education, the higher the oral examination practice rate, and the lower the oral examination practice rate in divorce and bereavement among those aged 75 years or older. Regarding enabling factors, the lower the income rating, the higher the oral examination experience rate in religious and social participants as well as, leisure and charity participants, and the lower the oral examination experience rate in the natural environment. Regarding the need factors, the oral examination practice rate was high when the subjective oral health level was recognized as good. Conclusions: As a result, Anderson's model confirmed that various factors affect oral examination experience behavior, and institutional support for policy consensus is needed to promote oral examination experience behavior in older people in various directions.

본 연구의 목적은 일부지역 여성노인들의 구강건강상태가 일상생활을 영위하는데 있어 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 진행되었다. 연구대상자는 60세 이상 여성노인 142명이었고, 설문법, 면접, 상담, 구강검사를 통해 조사를 시행하였다. 연구분석은 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석과 기술통계 및 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 살펴보면 일상생활에 영향을 받는 항목으로 평균 1.4개로 나타났고 구강건강상태는 치석제거 59.4%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 치아잇몸 상태가 만족스럽지 않을 때 일상생활에 불편을 느끼는 것으로 나타났으며, 구강통증, 치아잇몸상태, 치석제거불량의 경우 일상생활에 불편 항목수와 빈도가 높아졌다. 결론적으로 여성노인의 구강건강과 관련하여 일상생활능력이 향상되고 삶의 질에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 여성노인을 대상으로 하는 구강건강증진 교육의 확대와 지속적인 예방프로그램 개발을 통해 체계화된 구강관리 방안이 요구된다.
