In recent years, the numbers of the orthodontic dental patients have been rapidly increased in adolescent or young adult aged generation. It has been well known that it would be very hard to control the oral hygiene cares for orthodontic applied dental patient because of the complexity of the appliance. So the caries prevalence of the orthodontic dental patients would be higher than non-appliance persons, and it might be easy to cause the dental caries especially on the labial or buccal surface of the tooth through equipping the fixed type appliance with a long period, even though the alignment of the teeth would be arranged well. So, the massive preventive program for preventive dentistry should be needed for the dental patients for orthodontic treatment, in order to protect the dental caries and the periodontal disease for them. But, lots of the dentists or dental hygienists sometimes neglect of this point for preventive dental cares orthodontic dental patients, or do not know the importance and how to manage the skill for the preventive dental works in clinical. In this article, it will be introduced the basic theories and skills for preventive cares as tooth-brushing instruction, fluoride topical application and pit and fissure sealant, scaling and professional mechanical tooth cleansing and the diet control, for the dental patients with the fixed type of the orthodontic appliance, in case by case.

본 실험의 목적은 초기 우식 부위에 레진 침투법과 불소 적용 후 탈회 저항성을 비교하기 위함이다. 인공 우식을 유발한 시편을 대조군, 1.23% 산성불화인산염(Acidulated phosphate fluoride(APF))군, 레진 침투군으로 분류하고 각 재료를 적용 후 재탈회시켰다. 이후 공초점 레이저 현미경(Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope(CLSM))을 이용하여 탈회 깊이를 측정하였고 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 법랑질 표면 거칠기를 관찰하였다. CLSM을 이용하여 탈회 깊이를 측정하였을 때 대조군, 1.23% 산성불화인산염군, $Icon^{(R)}$ caries infiltrant군 순으로 감소하였다. 탈회 깊이는 1.23% 산성불화인산염군, $Icon^{(R)}$ caries infiltrant군이 대조군에 비해서는 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지만 두 군 간의 차이가 없었다(p < 0.05). 표면거칠기는 대조군에서 매우 거칠고 표면이 불규칙한 양상을 보였고 1.23% 산성불화인산염군, $Icon^{(R)}$ caries infiltrant 군으로 갈수록 표면 거칠기와 불규칙성은 감소하였다.
