The purpose of this study was to develop effective oral health education programs for mentally retarded children and promote their oral health, by offering oral health education for 45 mentally retarded children between age 6 to 20, tracking the change of their knowledge depending on the frequency of education, and examining the educational effect before and after oral health education. The children with mental retardation attended a special school for idiots in Gweonseon-gu, Suwon, Kyonggi Province, being able to take training(IQ 25-49). The education program was designed to be suitable for their cognitive power after consultation with a special school teacher. A teacher provided the same education seven times, once a week, and an interview was held with each of them to assess their correct answer rate. The findings of this study were as below: 1. The repeated oral health education served to have the children with mental retardation acquire better knowledge about harmful food for the teeth, what had to be done after eating cookies or candies between meals, the right time for toothbrushing, the concept of dental caries, and how to cope with dental caries(p<0.01). But after that education was offered four times, the frequency of that education made no difference. 2. The repeated oral health education increased, their knowledge on the role of the teeth and the right choice of toothbrush(p<0.01), yet there was no significant difference in their knowledge about oral health behavior, because they had already been familiar with that. 3. As a result of investigating the change of their oral health know-ledge before and after oral health education according to the type of handicap, the type of handicap made no significant difference to the change of their oral health knowledge. 4. The oral health education for the children with menial retardation had a significantly different effect on their knowledge about harmful food for the teeth, what had to be done after eating between meals, the right time for toothbrushing, the role of the teeth. the right choice and use of toothbrush, how to do toothbrushing, and fluorine(p<0.01).

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between fluorine concentration within finger nails and the level of dentifrice in dental hygiene students and non-health majoring students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by seventy female college students living in Daegu and Gyeongbuk that are not supplied with fluoridation from May to June, 2014. Informed consent was approved by institutional review board (IRB). The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects (11 items) and oral health behavior including number of toothbrushing, duration of toothbrushing, number of mouth rinsing, and amount of dentifrice. A dentist and a dental hygienist examined directly the subjects by the guideline of World Health Organization (WHO). The oral examination included decayed tooth, healthy tooth, and filled tooth. The nail samples were obtained from seventy female students. Results: Comparing the dental hygiene students and non-health majoring students, 62.5% of dental hygiene students used approximately 1300mg of dentifrice and 55.2% of non-health majoring students used 1800mg or more of dentifrice. The non-health majoring students used more dentifrice (p<0.01). The fluorine concentration within nails was $1.9905{\mu}l/g$ in dental hygiene students and $3.2149{\mu}l/g$ in non-health majoring students. The fluorine concentration within nails in the dental hygiene students was significantly lower(p<0.01). Conclusions: The accumulation of fluoride in human body is not fully caused by dentifrice. However, The accumulation may occur due to toothbrushing so that it is necessary to educate the students about the right use of the dentifrice.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the connection between handwashing and toothbrushing, focusing on eating habits, and to verify whether eating habits can be used as an action cue for forming health habits. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the 2019 community health survey. The participants included 229,099 adults aged 19 years or older, representative of the South Korean people. We employed two dependent variables: one was washing hands, and the other was brushing teeth. Eating habits was a major independent variable. Socioeconomic variables, such as age, gender, income, occupation, economic activity, education, and residence were adjusted as confounders. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to calculate adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Most of the participants had good health behaviors: those who wash their hands and brush their teeth were each approximately 80%. Our finding indicated that brushing teeth and washing hands can be connected with eating habits. After adjusting for confounders, it was found that people who wash their hands before meals (compared to those who did not wash their hands before meals) had a higher toothbrushing rate after meals (i.e., socioeconomic status) (Adjusted Odds Ratio: 2.0, Confidence Intervals: 1.9 to 2.1). Conclusion: Those who practice either washing hands before meals or brushing teeth after meals were found to have a connection between washing hands and brushing teeth based on the results of practicing other health behaviors. This implies that eating habits can be connected as a behavior cue to promote health habits, such as washing hands before meals and brushing teeth after meals.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the general characteristics of parents to their children's oral health care. The subjects in this study were 117 parents and their children who resided in rural communities in the region of K. Methods : A survey was conducted with the consent of the parents from July 1 to 30, 2010. As for the survey on the children, the children who were in the lower grades were interviewed, and the upper graders filled out the questionnaires in person. A frequency analysis was carried out to find out the general characteristics of the parents and children, and x2-test was utilized to grasp the links between the general characteristics of the parents and the children's oral health care. A SPSS WIN 12.0 program was employed to analyze all the collected data. The findings of the study were as follows: Result : 1. As a result of investigating the relationship of the occupation of the parents to the children's regular dental checkup, the 71.8 percent of the entire children didn't get a dental checkup on a regular basis. The biggest percentage of the children of the self-employed parents(100%) got a regular dental checkup, and 90.9 percent of the children of the government workers did that(p<.05). 2. As a result of checking the relationship of the occupation of the parents to the children's dental-caries experiences, 39.3 percent of the whole children had no such experiences. The largest percentage of the children of the company employees(51.9%) had dental-caries experiences(p<.05). 3. Concerning the links between the academic credential of the parents and the children's toothbrushing method, the biggest percentage of the children(40.2%) brushed their teeth up and down. The largest rate of the children whose parents were high-school graduates(41.5%) brushed their teeth in that way(p<.05). 4. Regarding the links between the toothbrushing time of the parents and the children's view, 43.6 percent found their parents to take good care of their teeth to make them clean. 60 percent whose parents brushed their teeth after having breakfast and dinner took the best view(p<.001). 5. As for the oral-health education experiences of the parents and a time for the children's change of toothbrushes, 29.1 percent changed their toothbrushes every two months, and 29.1 percent did that not on a regular basis but when the bristles of their toothbrushes got bent(p<.05). Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that in order to promote children's oral health in consideration of the characteristics of their parents, children should be urged to get a regular dental checkup, and the development of oral-health education programs in which parents and children can participate together is urgently required.

사회심리적인 모형인 구강건강신념모형이 예방적인 측면에서 구강건강행위에 영향을 미치므로 구강건강신념을 구성하는 요소와 구강건강관련 행동간의 관련성을 규명하고자 초등학교 고학년 490명을 대상으로 개별자기기입방식에 의한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 통계프로그램 SPSS 14.0을 활용하여 T-test, 일변량 T검정, One-way ANOVA, 피어슨 상관분석을 하여 나타난 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 일반적 특성에 따른 구강건강신념은 유의한 차이가 없었으나 구강보건행동은 하루 칫솔질 횟수에서 여자가 남자보다 유의하게 조금 더 높았으며, 연간 치과의료기관 방문 횟수는 고학년일수록 유의하게 낮았다(p < 0.01). 2. 학생들의 구강건강신념과 구강건강행동의 상관관계에서 하루 칫솔질 횟수는 감수성, 장애도와 부의 미미한 상관성을 나타내었다. 그리고 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수는 감수성, 심각성과 정의 미미한 상관성을 나타났었고, 하루 우식성식품 섭취횟수는 감수성, 심각성, 장애도와 정의 미미한 상관성를 나타내었으나 유익성과는 부의 미미한 상관성을 나타내었다. 3. 구강건강신념간의 상관관계는 감수성을 높게 느낄수록 심각성과 장애도는 높게 나타나지만 유익성은 낮아지며, 심각성을 높게 느낄수록 장애도는 높아지는 반면에 유익성은 낮아졌다. 또한 유익성이 높을수록 중요도는 높아지는 반면 장애도는 낮아졌다. 이상의 결과에서 알 수 있듯이 자신의 구강질환에 대한 인식의 정도나 구강상태를 심각하게 생각할수록 하루 우식성식품 섭취횟수와 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수는 많았으나 칫솔질 횟수는 낮았다. 이는 칫솔질을 적게 하거나 우식성식품 섭취횟수와 연간 치과의료기관 방문횟수가 많을수록 자신의 구강상태가 나쁠 것이라는 생각을 하고 있으며, 치과진료에 대한 장애를 많이 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 미루어보아 구강건강신념과 구강건강행동은 서로 상호 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있으나 강한 상관성은 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 자기주도적 행동이 시작되는 초등학교 고학년의 올바른 구강건강신념 및 구강건강행동을 유도하기 위해서는 보다 적극적인 전문가에 의한 지속적이고 체계적인 학교구강보건 교육프로그램이 강화되어야 하겠다.
