Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental fear experienced among Korean adolescents and to identify the relevant factors. Materials and Methods: In order to compare the level of dental fear depending on the subjects' previous experience, descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Gender- and grade-dependent evaluation was performed according to the presence of their previous dental visit and dental fear. Subjective oral health status was also investigated. In order to determine the factors affecting dental fear, logistic regression analysis was performed. Result: Among the total of 333 subjects who had experienced dental fear, females were found to experience 1.766 times greater dental fear than males (P=0.007). The worse subjective perception of their oral health was associated with increase in the experience of dental fear by 1.245-fold (P=0.047). Conclusion: The dental fear was likely to be formed during the visit to the dentist's office or through previous experience of dental treatment. Therefore in order to reduce the fear associated with dental treatment in adolescents, establishemnt of a proper environment in the dental clinic and a patient management program are necessitated.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide the basic data necessary for the development of educational programs and materials that enable the public to have accurate knowledge and awareness of fluoride. Methods: A survey was conducted from December 2016 on 354 members of the public, aged 20 or older in South Korea to find out the effects of using toothbrush. The results can be summarized as follows. Statistical analysis of the collected data was performed using the SPSS WIN 21.0 statistical program. Results: As a result of examining the factors affecting the perception of fluoride, when fluoride education was experienced (p<0.01), fluoride was recognized (p<0.01), fluoride was experienced (p<0.05), When fluoride was considered to be good (p<0.01), the perception of fluoride was high. Conclusions: The perception of fluoride was relatively low, and the need for more active promotion of fluoride was identified. Therefore, dental medical personnel and the personnel who carry out the oral health education should make the people actively carry out education about fluoride.

Taste is closely related to intake of food. Taste perception is also influenced by type of food ingested, and nutrition and health status. Bitter taste plays an important role in the survival of human and animals to avoid probable toxic and harmful substances. Vertebrate animals recognize bitter taste through type 2 taste receptors (T2Rs). Several T2Rs have been expressed extra-oral such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, urogenital tract, brain and immune cells, and parts of their functions are being revealed. This review will discuss physiological roles of T2Rs in relation to innate immunity, secretion and smooth muscle contraction expressed in extra-oral cells and tissues, and we summarize relationships between polymorphisms in T2Rs and general or oral diseases. It is not a coincidence that animals pay much genetic costs for taste and smell during evolution.

Background: Increasing age and loss of teeth weaken oral muscle strength. This study aimed to investigate the positive effects of orofacial myofunctional training on elderly people. Methods: Thirty six elderly individuals in a welfare center and a senior citizen center were included in this study. A survey regarding lip and tongue strength suvsequent to orofacial myofunctional training and oral health-related quality of life was conducted from April to June, 2019. Data were analyzed using PASW statistics ver. 18.0. Results: The experimental group, showed an increase in lip strength (from 9.79 to 10.31) and tongue strength (from 41.26 to 43.97) after orofacial myofunctional training. The perception of oral health-relatedquality of life was enhanced (from 2.26 to 2.07). In particular, the frequency of dry cough for food removal while swallowing decresed due to an incresed in the secretion of saliva (p<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the number of functional teeth was positively related to oral health-related quality of life. Conclusion: Orofacial myofunctional training for improving lip and tongue strength is effective in the elderly. In older societies, oral strength should be maintained to improve oral health-related quality of life. It also suggests the interest of oral health workers and applying orofacial myofunctional training programs.

본 연구는 대학생들에게 구강보건교육이 치과공포도와 구강보건교육 후 치과공포에 대한 인식변화에 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 한다. A지역에 위치한 B대학교에 재학 중인 보건관련 재학생과 비보건관련 재학생을 대상으로 2017년 4월 5일부터 4월 12일까지 대상자들에게 교육을 실시하여 교육 전 설문조사, 교육 후 설문조사를 시행하였다. 결과를 SPSS 19.0 프로그램을 사용하여 통계자료를 T-test를 사용하여 추출하였다. 결과로는 교육 후 치과진료에 대한 두려움은 보건학과 학생이 비보건학과 학생보다 더 크게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 비보건학과 학생들이 보건학과 학생들에 비해 강의 후 구강건강에 대한 인식변화가 더 크게 나타났다. 치과진료에 대한 교육 후 구강건강에 대한 인식변화는 비보건학과 학생들에 비해 보건학과 학생들에게서 더 크게 나타났다. 추후에 효율적이고 전문적인 교육으로 치과위생사를 배출하여야 하고, 이를 통해 교육자로서의 치위생사 배출이 국민의 치과진료에 대한 공포도를 줄이고 인식을 변화시켜야 한다. 따라서 그들이 구강건강의 중요성과 구강병 예방과 초기 치료의 중요성을 인지하여 치과 내원을 두려워하지 않도록 공포도 및 인식관리를 위한 효과적인 교육 프로그램을 개발해야 한다고 사료되었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study to provide preliminary data to effective halitosis control. Methods : A survey was carried out the self-perception of causative factors of halitosis in 98 female college students in Chungnam province. In addition, the levels of oral gas and breath gas were measured by use of the B&B checker, and an analysis was made of the correlation between halitosis and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Results : 1. Subjective halitosis awareness degree different degree of dryness, 'None', 'some', 'little' people who feel as the 'little fly' (68%), 78.3%, 70% was higher (p<0.05), halitosis interest 'very worried', 'worry', 'normal' person with a' not at all 'to 58.3% higher (p<0.01). 2. In regard to OCD severity, 49.0%, 34.7% and 16.3% were found to be mild, moderate and severe respectively. Halitosis tended to be severe in proportion to OCD severity, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). 3. Oral gas had a positively correlation with breath gas (r=0.329, p<0.01), but had a negative one with OCD severity (r=0.204, p<0.05). Conclusions : Symptoms of oral dryness and halitosis interest were associated with self-perception of halitosis. The levels of oral gas and breath gas were in inverse proportion to OCD severity. Hereat, it needs to analyze psychogenic factors properly as regards the diagnosis or treatment of halitosis.
