이번 연구에서는 양치시설의 전국적 확산과 이를 통한 아동의 구강보건행태 개선 및 구강건강향상을 위하여 양치시설 설치 및 운영 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 표준설계방안 및 운영방안의 근거를 마련하고자, 초등학교와 보건소 내 양치시설의 설치 및 운영 담당자를 대상으로 초점집단연구를 수행한 결과, 기존 양치시설 설치 및 운영관리에 대해 다음과 같은 문제점과 의견을 파악할 수 있었다. 양치시설의 설치 및 운영에 따라, 학생들이 구강건강관리의 필요성을 크게 느끼고, 칫솔질 시행률이 크게 높아졌으나, 양치시설 담당교사의 관심 및 의지에 따라 양치시설의 관리상태가 크게 좌우되었다. 양치시설 등의 구강건강관리 사업은 보건교사와 보건소 담당자 모두에게 중요하게 느껴지지만, 한정된 인력과 다른 업무의 비중을 고려했을 때 우선순위에서 밀려나는 것으로 나타났다. 양치시설의 위치가 급식소와 가까이 있는 경우에 학생들의 접근성이 좋았고, 교실형보다는 복도형이나 교실 내 양치시설에 더 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 양치시설 설계 및 설치 시 배수관의 크기, 개수대의 높이 및 깊이, 온수, 수도꼭지 등을 종합적으로 고려해야 하는데, 특히 여러 학생이 동시에 사용 시 물의 역류를 방지하기 위해 배수관의 크기를 크게 하고, 개수대의 깊이를 깊게 하여 물이 밖으로 튀는 것을 방지해야 하며, 개수대의 높이는 학생의 학년별 체격에 따라 달리 해야 한다고 응답하였다. 양치시설의 효율적인 홍보 및 관리 방안이 마련되어야 하고, 학생들의 칫솔질 실천율 증가와 효율적인 양치시설의 관리를 위해 학부모(가정)와 담임교사(학교)를 대상으로 한 교육이 필요한 것으로 나타났고, 양치시설 운영관리 주체는 학교가 되고 설계 및 설치 주체는 보건소가 되어야 한다는 의견이 많았다. 그러므로, 학생들의 실질적인 구강건강증진을 위해서는 양치시설의 담당자의 의견을 바탕으로 기존 문제점을 보완함으로써 양치시설의 접근성, 기능성, 안전성 및 이용자 만족도를 제고할 수 있는 양치시설 설계와 관련된 공통된 도면이나 운영관리, 홍보 매뉴얼을 마련해야 할 것이며, 이로써 아동의 구강건강증진과 구강건강행태 개선에 실질적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.

South Korea's oral health care non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have played a crucial role in South-North relations, although a formal intergovernmental relationship is difficult to establish and also easily breaks down. Humanitarian assistance by NGOs in the oral health care sector is an area that receives wide support from South Korean society for its urgency and for its appeal to humanity. This humanitarian assistance started in the late 1990's and continued to grow until the late 2000's. This assistance continued throughout the tension between the two administrations that resulted in a radical decrease in overall assistance from South Korea to North Korea. However, concerns remain about the transparency and efficiency of NGO activities. In this article, the NGOs and their major activities are delineated, and South Korean legislation is examined. A current act, the Law on the Development of South and North Korean Relations serves as a basis for governmental regulation and support of NGO's. Humanitarian assistance in the oral healthcare area is directly related to the oral health of the North Korean people, and it should not be influenced by political changes. Long-term planning and close discussions between NGOs, their North Korean counterparts, and the South Korean government are needed. NGOs need to overcome their shortcomings such as a lack of expertise and shortage of financial support. For this, NGOs must improve their administration transparency and professionalism.

The present study is to provide information for the improvement of school health services through research on the current condition of its organization and practice in universities, colleges and junior colleges. The scope of this study is consisted of four components including health organizations/units, school health services, environmental sanitation and health education for the 30 universities, the 20 colleges and the 32 junior colleges in Korea. The major findings are summarized as follows: (1) Among the sampled schools, around 73% of them have the health service organization/unit. When we break down health service organization/unit into the types by the level of school, around 73% of the universities have formal organization called "health center" and 20.0% of them have an informal organization called "health room". For the colleges level, 30.0% of them have the "health center" and 40.0% of them have the "health room". The figure of junior colleges is a quite different from universities and colleges, 56.3% of junior colleges have the "health room" only but the other have no service organization at all. (2) It was found that only 22.0% of 82 schools have the health committee for the school health services. It might be necessary to have a kind of expert committee to establish an annual health service program, budget and health policy in the school. (3) Approximately 29% of those schools having formal health organizations/units appointed directors as a medical persons. 13.4% of the sampled schools are appointed doctors (including the dentists) at health service organization/unit, 9.8% are appointed pharmacist and 65.9% are appointed nurses. Therefore, the data imply that the school health services are depending mainly on nurses. (4) The major activities of school health services are covering primary medical care (84.1%), health counseling (72.0%), physical examination (68.3%), vaccination (58.5%), tuberculosis control (54.9%), parasite control (29.3%) and dental health case(9.8%). Also 69.5% of the schools have the program on the environmental sanitation and the health education program. (5) In regard to health budget taking account of 34 schools, approximately 92% of them have less than 5,000 won per students and only 8.8% of them have more 10,000 won per students. At the average health budget per students is 4089.8 won in universities, 1617.1 won in colleges and 475.0 won in junior colleges. (6) The students enjoy the benifit of medical insurance at 11.0% of 82 schools surveyed. They are all universities. (7) The study found that 56 universities, colleges and junior colleges provide the annual physical examination. Only 21.4% of them have provided it for all students and school employees. (8) 64.3% of the 56 schools surveyed keep a record of the regular physical examinations. Records must be utilized as the basic data for the evaluation of the student's health condition and so the individual student is encouraged to take care of his own health. (9) At the 59 schools which practice health counseling, the main concerns of the counsellees are venereal disease, tuberculosis and psychoneurosis. This shows the need to practice health education in the area of preventive medicine. (10) 69.5% of the 82 universities, colleges and junior colleges surveyed are concerned with supervision of the environmental sanitation in their school, but non-professionals are in charge at 70.1% of them. This indicates negligence in environmental sanitation. (11) 53.7% of the 82 schools responded that they have no special instructive measure for the students' health and 54.9% are found to be negative in the use of a health education method. This reveals a problem. They are not positive to the recognition of their function as the initiative organization for the students' health. (12) The supplementary education for the faculty of the school health services is executed only at 8.5% of all the schools surveyed.

Purpose: The third molar extraction is one of the mostly performed procedures in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In most of dental clinic or hospital, the third molar extraction used to be frequently performed in an office-based surgery, and most patients did not have specific medical history with young ages. Medical history taking are dependent on the only way by asking to the patients about their individual conditions. Therefore, as the specialists of the oral and maxillofacial surgery in the field of dentistry, we suggest a new policy that the preoperative lab must be performed routinely before extraction of the third molar. Methods: This study is based on 1,096 patients who have been managed with third molar extractions, from March 2008 to September 2011 by a single surgeon. The preoperative lab, including complete blood count, coagulation panel, chemistry and serology, was performed before any surgical procedures. The results were informed to the patients regardless of their abnormalities, and any abnormalities related to the surgical procedures, such as platelet count and coagulation factors, were checked and corrected safely. Results: Through the preoperative blood test, systemic diseases that the patients had not recognized before, such as anemia, leukopenia, fatty liver and chronic renal disease, were identified. Patients with acute or chronic leukemia, Hepatitis B, and HIV positive, were also detected as a small number. Also, the possibilities of the cross-infection between dentists and patients or between patients and patients, and any other emergency situations can be prevented; as well as the public health condition can be improved, too. The patients were satisfied with low cost preventive blood test and high quality of medical services. Conclusion: Therefore, routine medical lab testing, including history taking are needed before an office-based minor surgery, such as third molar extractions, and these results were suggested as a new policy in the field of dentistry.
