Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of subjective stress recognition and oral symptom experiences including toothache, gum diseases, and oral soft tissue diseases in the Korean adolescents. Methods: The subjects were 68,043 adolescents recruited using a web-based survey, National Korean Youth Risk Behavior in 2015 by the Korean Center for Disease Control. For statistical analysis, SPSS 21.0 for Windows was used. Descriptive analysis and a Chi-square test were conducted to determine the factors associated with general characteristics, health behaviors, oral health behaviors, and level of subjective stress recognition. Finally, to investigate the relationship between the level of subjective stress recognition and oral symptom experiences, logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: Toothache related subjective stress recognition level was significantly higher in the moderate group with the score of 1.59 (95% CI; 1.49-1.68), and was greater in the high group with 2.38 (95% CI; 2.24-2.53) compared to the low group. Gum disease related subjective stress recognition level was significantly higher in the moderate group with 1.41 (95% CI; 1.32-1.51), and was greater in the high group with 1.99 (95% CI; 1.86-2.13). Oral soft tissue disease related subjective stress recognition level was significantly higher in the moderate group with 1.59 (95% CI; 1.45-1.74), and was greater in the high group with 2.55 (95% CI; 2.33-2.79). Bad breath related subjective stress recognition level was significantly higher in the moderate group with 1.48 (95% CI; 1.39-1.57), and was greater in the high group with 2.10 (95% CI; 1.97-2.25). Conclusions: Higher subjective stress recognition level was found to affect the oral symptoms experienced. Therefore, the stress management plan should be prepared through the cause identification of the main stress in the adolescents. Practical and systematic education is needed for oral health management in the schools.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health care and educational needs of college students in an effort to give some suggestions on the development of oral health educational media. It's basically meant to boost the efficiency of oral health education geared toward college students. Methods : The subjects in this study were 500 students at seven different colleges located in Daejeon and South Choongcheong Province. After a survey was conducted, frequency analysis and ANOVA were utilized to analyze the collected data. And the records of the in-depth interviews of 10 students were analyzed as well. Results : The gender of the students and whether their major was linked to health or not made differences to their knowledge of dental caries. And there was nothing to affect their knowledge of periodontal diseases except whether their major was related to health or not. They didn't have a good knowledge of periodontal diseases, and they just regarded toothbrushing as a means to prevent dental caries and periodontal diseases. They preferred to acquire knowledge over the Internet. Conclusions : College students who don't know well about periodontal diseases should be given an opportunity to learn about periodontal diseases and diverse ways of preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases other than toothbrushing. As the college students preferred to surf the Internet, educational programs should be developed in the form of video clips that can be found over the Internet, and more aggressive publicity is required via SNS, etc.

Background: Tobacco is a leading preventable cause of deaths worldwide; the situation is particularly serious in the developing countries. Tobacco use amongst the children and adolescents is already a pandemic and they are vulnerable targets of tobacco industry. This is also the case in India. Objectives: 1) Document and monitor the prevalence of tobacco use including smoked, smokeless and other forms of tobacco; 2) Understand student knowledge and attitudes related to tobacco use and its health impact; 3) Assess the impact of tobacco on the oral health status of school-going children in India. Materials and Methods: The sample was 1,500 school children of the age group 12-15 years age. A pretested, close ended questionnaire was administered in the form of extensive face to face interview to understand student knowledge, attitudes and behavior related to tobacco use and its health impact and to assess the prevalence of tobacco use including smoked, smokeless and other forms of tobacco. Oral health status was assessed using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Frequency distribution, Chi-square tests and Odd's ratio was calculated. Results: Prevalence of tobacco usage amongst the prevalence was 20.4%: 9.2% reported smoking, 15.8% used tobacco in the chewable form and 25.3% children were involved in consuming betel nut/areca nuts. The OR (Odd's ratio) for calculus formation was highest for guthka chewers (OR=14.322), paan masala chewers had the highest odds of developing bleeding on probing when compared to the others. Conclusions: There is an urgent need to launch school-based tobacco prevention programs for community awareness of children and the public, as preventing the initiation of a habit is far easier than stopping it.

Background: Dental treatment has shifted to the center of the community, and the public policy of the country has expanded to support the vulnerable classes such as the disabled. The dental profession needs education regarding oral health services for persons with disabilities, and it is necessary to derive the competencies for this. Therefore, we conducted this study to derive the normative ability to understand the role of a dental hygienist in the oral health service for persons with disabilities and improvement plans for education. Methods: We conducted a qualitative analysis for deriving competencies by analyzing the data collected through in-depth interviews with experts in order to obtain abilities through practical experience. Based on the competency criterion, relevant competency in the interview response was derived using the priori method, and it was confirmed whether the derived ability matched the ability determined by the respondent. Results: The professional conduct competencies of dental hygienists, devised by the Korean Association of Dental Hygiene, consists of professional behavior, ethical decision-making, self-assessment skills, lifelong learning, and accumulated evidence. Also, core competencies of the American Dental Education Association competencies for dental hygienist classification such as ethics, responsibility for professional actions, and critical thinking skills were used as the criterion. The dental hygienist's abilities needed for oral health care for people with disabilities, especially in the detailed abilities to fulfill these social needs, were clarified. Conclusion: To activate oral health care for people with disabilities, it is necessary for dental hygienists to fulfill their appropriate roles, and for this purpose, competency-based curriculum restructuring is indispensable. A social safety net for improving the oral health of people with disabilities can be secured by improving the required skills-based education system of dental hygienists and strengthening the related infrastructure.

본 연구는 서울특별시 성동구에서 치아건강사업의 일환으로 관내 모든 초 중 고등학교에 양치시설을 확대 설치하기 결정 한 후 2012년 양치교실을 설치한 중학교의 양치시설 효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존에 양치시설이 설치되어있는 A중학교와 2012년 양치시설이 설치된 B중학교 1학년을 대상으로 구강환경관리능력 및 치아건강관리 행태의 변화를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DMFT와 DMFS는 기존에 양치시설이 설치 운영되어 온 A중학교가 B중학교보다 더 낮게 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). CPI는 치아우식경험지수와 다른 결과를 보였는데 학교별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 여학생이 남학생에 비하여 code (0)은 높게 나타났고 code (2)는 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 양치시설이 설치되기 전, 양치시설 유무에 따른 PHP index 검사에서는 양치시설이 있는 학교의 학생들이 구강환경관리능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 양치시설 전 후에 따른 조사에서는 양치시설 설치 전보다 양치시설 설치 후에 구강환경관리능력 개선 정도가 유의하게 크게 나타났다(p<0.01). 3. 양치시설 유무에 따른 치아건강관리 행태 비교에서는 지난 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우는 양치시설이 없었던 B중학교에서 더 높게 나타났고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균횟수는 양치시설이 있는 A중학교에서 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유에 대해서는 학교간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 '장소가 부족해서' 항목은 A중학교보다 양치시설이 없는 B중학교에서 높게 나타나 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 양치시설 설치 전후 치아건강관리 행태 변화에서는 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우가 설치 전보다 설치 후에 증가하였고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균 횟수도 양치시설 설치 후에 더 감소하였으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유 중 '장소가 부족해서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.01), '친구들이 하지 않아서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 크게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 구강보건지식의 개선만으로는 임상적, 행동적 의의를 가지지 않는다. 청소년들의 행동변화를 유도하여 직접 참여하기 위해서는 학교나 가정 한 단체만으로는 불가능하다. 학교뿐만 아니라 정부기관의 정책과 재정적 지원, 지역사회관련 교육기관들과 관련 단체들의 프로그램 개발과 평가에 대한 협조 등이 청소년들의 올바른 구강건강관리를 습관화 시키는 데 기여할 것이다.
