Objective : This study was performed in order to provide basic data for halitosis prevention and establish a device to efficiently eliminate halitosis and to analyze the factors that affect the halitosis. Methods : Oral examination on the Gingival index, CPITN, Tongue Plaque index, and OHI-S as well as halitosis measurement among 293 rural residents. Results : Gingival index was high at mild on female and at moderate on male(p=0.025). Sorting the result by age, mild was 54.1% in the 40s, and moderate was 49.5%, 42.0% and 70.0% each in the 50s, 60s, and the 70s(p=0.005). The need for dental plaque management was 100%. The need for scaling was high with 78.3%, 93.0%, 89.9%, and 90.0% each for the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. The need for complex periodontal treatment was also high with 32.4%, 47.5%, 48.7% and 60.0%, each for the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s(p=0.050). The highest bad condition for OHI-S was 69.5%, and good being 18.9%, and very bad being 11.6%. For moderate tongue plaque index was 74.4% as the highest. As the level of education increased, the slight tongue plague was increased, but in contrast, the moderate and higher tongue plague index was decreased(p=0.010). OG under 50ppm was 61.1% on male and OG over 50ppm was 50.9% on female(p=0.041). In OG over 50ppm, CPITN was 52.1% and 41.9% in scaling and complex periodontal treatment group(p=0.018). OHI-S, in bad and very bad condition with OG, over 50ppm, was 48.7% and 46.9%(p=0.019). The higher tongue plague index showed significant amount of increase at OG and EG above 50ppm(p=0.006). $NH_3$, as the tongue plaque index increased, the wider range of distribution was shown(p=0.000). As for the multiple regression analysis result, there have been selected females and tongue plaque index as factors affecting OG. There have been selected age and tongue plaque index as factors affecting EG and there have been selected females as factors affecting on $NH_3$. Conclusions : With the aforementioned results in mind, the status of halitosis among rural residents is considered to bare a close relation with oral environments. we have to focus on correct tooth brushing methods and tongue brushing, with using tongue cleaner to remove fur of tongue plaque. Also, in order to analyze exactly the factors of individual halitosis, we need continuous and systematic study.

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.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush on tooth cleanness, tongue cleanness and malodor index. Materials and methods: 504 subjects were included in this study. At 1st visit, basic information such as age, sex, smoking amount and alcohol consumption was recorded. Self assessment by individual subjects was performed regarding satisfaction to old toothbrush and toothbrushing habit. Tooth cleanness, tongue cleanness and malodor index was assessed by professional researcher. Tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush was given to each subject with proper toothbrushing instruction. After 1 month passed, self assessment and researcher assessment regarding the same index were performed and analyzed statistically by chi-square test. Results: At 1st visit subjects seem to ignore tongue cleansing and showed poor tooth cleanness index, tongue cleanness index and malodor index, however the same subjects were motivated to clean their tongue and teeth and presented statistically improved distribution pattern in tooth cleanness index, tongue cleanness index and malodor index after using tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush(p<0.01). Satisfaction to tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush was 98%. Conclusion: Tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush would be an effective tool for maintaining good oral hygiene through improving tooth and tongue cleanness and preventing malodor formation.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the oral health status of the disabled children attending special schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi area, which were to collect baseline data for set up a oral health center in special schools. The study group comprised 915 disabled children aged 12~15 year. They were examined clinically and surveyed on 4 oral health related characteristics according to the type and level of disabilities The results may be summarized as follows: 1. DMFT index was the highest in children with crippled disorder. The plaque control was more required to the children with mental retardation or developmental disorder other than another types of disabilities. 2. About one third of the children with mental retardation or developmental disorder had their teeth brushed at least 3 times daily without any help. Over the half of the children with crippled disorder had their teeth brushed 2 times daily, 33.3% were independent and 38.9% totally dependent on help from others. 3. The more level of disabilities was higher, the more frequency of tooth brushing was lower and degree of dependance of the tooth brushing was higher. 4. There was tendency to visit to dental office more frequently for relief of dental symptoms in children with crippled disorder 5. The inability to call for help from others was the major barrier to dental care for the disabled.
