본 연구는 고등학생들의 구강위생용품의 인지, 실천실태와 주관적 구강건강인식도를 조사하여 올바른 구강위생용품의 사용을 수행할 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. K지역 고등학생 260명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 수행하여 결과는 다음과 같다. 구강위생용품을 인지할수록 구강위생용품의 실천도(p<0.05)가 높은 결과를 나타났다. 주관적 구강건강인식(p<0.05)과도 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이는 구강위생용품 사용에 올바른 실천을 위해서는 구강위생용품의 교육의 필요를 의미한다고 볼 수 있다. 구강위생용품의 올바른 세치제 사용양 인지에서 모1/3사용이 가장 높게 나왔지만, 실천도에서는 모3/3사용이 가장 높게 나왔다. 연구결과 구강보건교육에만 국한 되지 않고 실천에도 영향을 줄 수 있는 구강보건교육 프로그램이 필요하다고 사료된다. 학업으로 인해 의료기관에 접근이 어려운 학생들에게 구강보건교육의 습득경로 대중매체의 경로로 더 보급하고 학교구강보건교육 시행을 위한 프로그램 개발과 시행이 무엇보다 중요하다고 사료되어진다.

Background: Good oral health is important for systemic body health and quality of life. Spray oral cleansers are increasingly preferred because of their convenience of carrying and the ease of oral hygiene management. In addition, many kinds of oral cleanser products containing various ingredients with antibacterial, washing, and moisturizing effects are being manufactured. However, concerns about the safety and side effects of oral sprays are increasing, and there is very little information regarding the use and care of oral sprays is available to consumers. This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral spray on oral bacteria and tissue to elucidate the factors that need to be considered when using oral sprays. Methods: The effects of oral spray on the growth of dental plaque bacteria was assessed using disk diffusion assays. Cytotoxicity and morphological changes in oral epithelial cells were observed by microscopy. The effects of oral spray on dental plaque growth were also confirmed on specimens from permanent incisors of bovines by Coomassie staining. Results: The pH of spray products, such as Perioe Dental Cooling, Cool Sense, and Dentrix, were 3.65, 3.61, and 6.15, respectively. All tested spray products showed strong toxicity to dental plaque bacteria and oral epithelial cells. Compared with those on the control, dental plaque bacteria deposits on the enamel surface increased following the use of oral spray. Conclusion: Three types of oral spray, namely Perioe Dental Cooling, Cool Sense, and Dentrix, strongly inhibited the growth of dental plaque bacteria and oral epithelial cells. The oral spray ingredient enhanced dental plaque growth on the enamel surface. Users should be informed of precautions when using oral sprays and the need for oral hygiene after its use.

본 연구는 KNHANES 제6기 1차 년도(2013년) 자료를 이용하여 성인의 구강위생용품 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 만 19세 이상 성인 4,839명을 최종 분석대상자로 하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 교차분석 결과 구강위생용품의 사용(하루 칫솔질 빈도, 치실 사용 여부, 치간칫솔 사용 여부, 구강양치용액 사용 여부)은 성별, 나이, 교육수준, 가구소득, 결혼상태, 치과의료 이용, 치과검진 여부와 통계적으로 유의한 관련성을 나타냈다. 구강위생용품 사용에 미치는 변수를 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 살펴본 결과 성별, 교육수준이 공통적인 영향요인으로 나타났으며, 구강위생용품에서 모두 공통되지는 않았지만 구강건강상태와 치과의료 이용, 최근 1년간 치과검진 여부가 통계적으로 유의한 관련성을 나타냈다. 치과 전문인력인 치과위생사는 구강위생용품을 세분화하여 각 영향 요인을 인식하고 개인의 특성 및 구강상태를 반영한 구강보건교육매체 및 프로그램 개발을 통해 국민구강보건증진에 기여해야 할 것이다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between periodontitis, obesity, and health behavior according to sex and age in Korean adults. Methods: Data on 11,032 adults aged 19-79 years were obtained from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to test for associations. Results: The final model that was adjusted for demographic characteristics and health status, showed a higher risk of periodontitis with increasing body mass index (BMI), smoking, failure to use oral care products, and no dental check up. In the sub-group analysis, only smoking was significant in the 19 to 39-year-old age groups. In the 40 to 64-year-old age group, a BMI of 30 or higher, and smoking, use of oral care products, and dental check-up were significantly associated with periodontitis. In the female group, BMI, smoking, use of oral care products, and dental check-up were significantly related to periodontitis. However, in males, only smoking was significant. Conclusions: Obesity management can be helpful for periodontal health as periodontitis prevalence in adults increased as BMI increased. For periodontal health, an oral health program should include smoking cessation and the use of oral care products and dental check up as part of obesity management.
