Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between soft drink consumption and subjective oral symptoms in Korean adolescents. Methods: Data of 65,528 adolescents were derived from the twelfth Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey, which was conducted from 1st June 2016 to 30th June 2016. Sociodemographic factors, dietary habit, and oral health behavior were collected as independent variables. The subjective oral symptoms were used as a dependent variable. The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the correlation between dental caries and the other variables. Results: A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that subjective oral symptoms were correlated with sex, age, subjective economic status, soft drink consumption, sweet drink consumption, tooth brushing frequency and dental sealant experience. Conclusions: Since the intake of soft drink adversely effects subjectively perceived oral symptoms in Korean adolescents, oral health education should include information on the pH levels of food and beverages including carbonated drinks, the effects of sugar on the teeth, and precautions to preventing tooth damage.

Purpose. This study was conducted to analyze fatigue and subjective oral health status in the employees in educational institutions and provide basic data for the development of a program for the promotion of oral health. Methods. As for the subjects, this study conducted a survey with 468 educational personnel in elementary, middle, and high schools in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk area from March through June 2016 and utilized 407 copies finally. As for the items on the survey, this study conducted an investigation on their general characteristics, fatigue, and subjective oral health status(halitosis, xerostomia, temporomandibular disorder) with the self-administered method. With the data collected, this study conducted frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis, using SPSS 20.0 statistical program, and the statistical significance level was .05. Results. As a result of this study, it turned out that by sex, fatigue was higher in women(4.59 points); by the place of work, those in 'elementary school' had higher fatigue(4.59 points); and by health condition and oral health status, most of them responded that they were 'not healthy'(4.81 and 4.84 points, respectively) and there was a statistically significant difference (p<.05). As for the correlation between fatigue and subjective oral health status, there were positive(+) impacts on halitosis(=.248, p<.001), xerostomia(=.097, p<.05), and temporomandibular disorder(=.148, p<.01), so it turned out that there was a correlation between fatigue and subjective oral health status. Conclusion. Based on the result of an analysis of the impacts of the fatigue level on subjective oral health status, it is judged that it would be necessary to continue to build up a program that can promote the oral health status of the educational personnel. In addition, it is necessary to conduct studies continuously for the development and application of a program for the change in lifestyle and behavior that can lower their fatigue.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the appropriate management and implementation of the oral malodor prevention for the general people. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 420 subjects in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province from March to October, 2013. Except 19 copies, 401 copies were analyzed. The instrument of subjective oral malodor awareness and status was adapted from Yoon and Youn and partly modified. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics(4 questions), oral malodor awareness(3 questions), oral malodor related characteristics(3 questions), self-diagnostic test of oral malodor(5 questions), and subjective oral malodor and health status(3 questions). Self-diagnostic test of oral malodor was score as yes(1 point) and no(0 point). The subjective oral malodor and health status scoring was done by Likert 5 scale. Cronbach alpha was 0.713 in the self-diagnostic test of oral malodor. Results: The self-recognition rate of oral malodor was 0.8%. When the level of oral malodor increased to 1 point, the self-test of oral malodor increased as the rate of 0.033(p<0.05). Conclusions: There existed no close correlation between subjective recognition of oral malodor and oral malodor self-test. Therefore, oral malodor should be measured by an expert counseling to make an accurate diagnosis. It is important to establish the appropriate oral malodor prevention program for the general people.

본 연구는 우리나라 청소년의 주관적 우울경험이 구강건강에 미치는 융합 요인을 알아보기 위해 청소년건강행태 온라인 조사를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 종속변수는 구강건강행태와 자각증상경험으로 구분하였고, 독립변수로는 주관적 우울경험으로 구성하였다. 우울경험이 구강건강에 미치는 융합요인으로 구강건강행태에서는 하루 칫솔질 횟수, 점심식사 후 칫솔질, 실란트 유무는 주관적 우울경험이 없는 경우보다 있는 경우가 유의하게 높았고, 자각증상경험에서는 치아 깨짐, 음식섭취 시 아픔, 잇몸출혈 유무, 구취 유무에서 주관적 우울이 없는 경우 보다 있는 경우 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 우울과 구강건강은 관련이 있는 것으로 나타나 청소년들의 구강건강을 향상시키기 위해 심리적인 요소를 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 노인의 주관적 구강상태와 구강건강영향지수와의 관련성을 알아보고, 이를 통해 삶의 질 향상 및 구강관리 방안을 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 2011년 5월부터 6월까지 조사, 연구대상은 65세이상 노인 231명으로 하였다. OHIP-14의 중위값을 산출하여 중위값(2.08) 보다 높은 그룹을 상위그룹으로, 평균보다 낮은 그룹을 하위그룹으로 나누어 구강보건행태와 주관적인 구강상태를 교차분석으로 측정하였고, 구강건강영향지수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보기 위해 상관분석과 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 구강보건행태에 따른 구강건강영향지수는 유의하지 않았으며, 주관적 구강상태에 따른 구강건강영향지수는 현재 구강상태, 저작지장, 치통, 잇몸질환, 구강건조증, 구취 항목이 구강건강영향지수에 영향을 주고 있었다. 또한 구강건강영향지수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하기 위한 회귀분석결과 저작지장, 치통, 구강건조증, 잇몸질환 경험이 높을수록 가장 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 구강건강 영향지수가 높을수록 주관적 구강상태가 건강하지 못하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 구강건강증진 예방프로그램 개발과 적극적인 구강관리 방안이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
