Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of vocational interest and personality with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods: Four hundred and fourteen college students in Gyeonggi-do completed Vocational Preference Inventory L form and a questionnaire and collected data were analyzed by R program. Results: The percentage of subjects who responded that they had at least one contributing factor for TMD was significantly different among 27 two-letter Holland codes (p<0.05). The two-letter Holland codes of which the first-letter was social (S) (S artistic [A], S investigative [I], S realistic [R], S conventional [C], S enterprising [E]) or C (CE, CS, CA, CI) had tendency of having the relatively higher prevalence of symptoms and contributing factors for TMD. Among 6 one-letter Holland codes, the prevalence of a symptom of frequent fatigue in the jaw and a habit of gum chewing showed the significant difference (p<0.05). E code seemed to have lower prevalence of a symptom of frequent fatigue in the jaw than other codes. S code appeared to use chewing gum more frequently than other codes. High scorers on emotional instability showed the significantly higher prevalence of TMD symptoms (p<0.05) and contributing factors for TMD (p<0.001) than low scorers. Furthermore, high scorers on emotional instability had significantly higher mean scales of the number of positive answers of TMD symptoms (p<0.01) and of contributing factors for TMD (p<0.001) than low scorers. Conclusions: Symptoms and contributing factors for TMD were related to emotional instability. Vocational Preference Inventory L form might be utilized in assessing emotional factors of persons with TMD symptoms.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of balancing interference on the activity of masticatory muscles and condylar path. Eight dental students of Won Kwang University without any symptoms of temporomandibular disorder and occlusal interferences, were selected for this study, The balancing interference was provided by construction and cementation of cast metal crowns on the upper and lower first molars. For the measurement of muscle activity, bioelectric processor (EM2, Myotronic Res., Inc., U.S.A.) was used and for the condular path, computerized electronic pantograph (Pantronics, Denar Corp., U.S.A.) was used and the myographic recordings were taken bilaterally from the anterior temporal, masseter and digastric muscles on rest position and on functions. These experimental procedures were done before cementation of experimental crown, three days after cementation of experimental crown, one week after, two weeks after and then one week after removal of experimental crown. The results are as follows: 1. The PRI score was increased at three days after application of balancing interference, and decreased at two weeks after. 2. Three subjects showed mild symptom of temporomandibular disorder at three or four days after application of interference, but the symptom was subsided in one or two weeks after application of interference. 3. One week after application of balancing interference, the activity of ipsilateral anterior temporal muscle in four subjects was decreased on gum chewing at experimental site. 4. Three days after application of balancing interference, the activity of ipsilateral anterior temporal muscle in three subjects was increased on gum chewing at non-experimental site. 5. The influence of balancing interference on the activity of anterior temporal, masseter and gigastric muscle was not prominent.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of xylitol chewing gums on mutans streptococci (MS) counts in saliva. Sixty two children 6 to 11 years old were randomly assigned into one of three groups. Stimulated saliva specimens were plated in duplicate on conventional selective culture (mitis salivarius kanamycin bacitracin agar) for mutans streptococci. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplication was performed to identify MS. After the 4-month period a significant decrease of the MS counts occurred in the group B (two gum 3 times a day; P < 0.05) but not in group A (one gum 3 times a day) and control group (didn't receive xylitol gum). According to qualitative evaluations, xylitol use did reduce the levels of MS in mixed dentition children. It has been suggested that a daily intake of 2 tablet for 3 times a day (about 10g) is needed in order to obtain a clinical anticariogenic effect.
An epidemiologic investigation was carried out to determine the prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular disorders in college students that aged 19-31 years. 460 students were investigated with a questionnaire from September to December 2006. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The prevalence of symptoms of temporomandibular disorders was 80.6%. 2. The most frequently complained symptom was headache and joint sound was the next one without distinct difference between men and women. 3. While the rate of occurrence of symptom of acute malocclusion decreased with age in men, that of TMJ pain during chewing or speech increased with age in women. 4. Symptoms including TMJ pain during mouth opening, chewing or speech, TMJ fatigue and acute malocclusion occurred significantly more frequently in women than in men. Contributing factors including resting cheeks on hands, stressful state, gum chewing, insomnia and clenching occurred significantly more frequently in women than in men. 5. There was a highly significant relationship between symptoms and contributing factors including resting cheeks on hands, stressful state, unilateral chewing, insomnia and clenching. 6. There was a highly significant relationship between symptoms and general personality.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the differences of EMG activity of the masticatory muscles between normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion during various jaw functions. 46 subjects of 18.4-25.7 years were employed in this study: 26 subjects were normal occlusions, and 20 subjects were Class III malocclusions. The EMG data from the anterior and posterior temporal, anterior and posterior masseter muscles in both sides as mandibular elevators and supra-hyoid muscle group (close to the anterior belly of digastric muscle in right side) as mandibular depressor were recorded with the Medelec MS 25 electromyographic machine. The EMG recordings were analyzed during mandibular rest position, maximal biting, mastication with chewing gum, and swallowing of peanuts. All data were recorded and statistically processed. 1. The maximal mean amplitude of the anterior temporal muscle was stronger significantly in Class III malocclusion than in normal occlusion, and then the posterior temporal was weaker during mandibular rest position. 2. The maximal mean amplitudes in the anterior and posterior temporal muscles and the anterior masseter muscle of Class III malocclusion was weaker significantly than that of normal occlusion during maximal biting. 3. During mastication of the chewing gum, the maximal mean amplitudes of Class III malocclusion was weaker significantly than normal occlusion in the anterior and posterior temporal muscles of the working side, and the duration of Class III malocclusion was longer in the anterior temporal muscles of both aides, and the posterior temporal and the anterior masseter muscle of the balancing side. There were significant increasings of the latency in balancing anterior temporal, working posterior temporal muscles and supra-hyoid muscle group of Class III malocclusion. The silent period durations was 16.36 ms in Class III malocclusion while 10.76 ms in normal occlusion, which was statistically different (P < 0.05). 4. At swallowing of peanuts, the maximal mean amplitude of Class malocclusion was weaker significantly in the posterior temporal muscle than that of normal occlusion. There was no significant difference of duration between normal occlusion and Class III malocclusion. 5 The muscle activities of Class III malocclusion had a tendency of decrease less than normal occlusion. And then the muscle activities of the anterior temporal and anterior masseter muscles in Class III malocclusion showed the tendency of the increase more than other muscles of Class III malocclusion.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle activity of the group function occlusion and the changed canine guided occlusion using EM2. In this study, 13 subjects with group function occlusion and without temporomandibular disorders were selected, each subject was changed to the canine guided occlusion by forming the lingual ramps in the upper canines with light curing composite resin. The muscle activities of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle were recorded in the group function occlusion and immediately, one week, and two weeks after changing to the canine guided occlusion under the condition of maximum voluntary clenching in centric occlusion, lateral excursion, and during gum chewing. The results were as follows: 1. In case of maximum voluntary clenching in centric occlusion, the muscle activities of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle of working and balancing side didn't show any difference immediately after changing to the canine guided occlusion, one week after changing to the canine guided occlusion, one week after changing to it the muscle activities of the anterior temporal masseter muscle of working and balancing side were increased significantly, and two weeks after changing to it the muscle activities of the masseter muscle were increased significantly in comparison with the group function occlusion. 2. In case of maximum voluntary clenching in lateral excursion, the muscle activities of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle of working and balancing side were reduced significantly immediately after changing to the canine guided occlusion, one week after changing to it the muscle activities of the anterior temporal muscle of balancing side and of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle of working side were reduced significantly, and 2 weeks after changing to it the muscle activities of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle of working side were reduced significantly in comparison with the .group function occlusion. 3. During gum chewing, the muscle activities of the anterior temporal and masseter muscle of working and balancing side didn't show any difference immediately after changing to the canine guided occlusion, one week after changing to it the muscle activities of the masseter muscle of working and balancing side were increased significantly, and two weeks after changing to it only the muscle activities of masseter muscle of working side were increased significantly.

Xylitol has the ability to reduce the adherence of Streptococcus mutans(S. mutans), which can make it easier to remove plaque, decrease acid production and inhibit dental caries. There are few reports on the effects of xylitol on the expression of the virulence related genes in S. mutans. This study examined the inhibitory effect of chewing gum containing xylitol on glucan synthesis related gene expression of S. mutans. Participants were voluntarily recruited for a women's oral health prevention program, classified into two groups(a control and a xylitol group), and then followed for 2 years. Twenty salivary samples were randomly selected from each group. Colony count and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction were used to analyze the characteristics of S. mutans. The following results were obtained: The S. mutans counts decreased steadily in the xylitol group over the study period(p<0.05). The expression of the virulence related genes (gtfB, gtfC and gtfD) was significantly lower in the xylitol group than in the control groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that chewing xylitol gum for a long period of time may reduce the expression of the genes associated with S. mutans virulence, which can result in a decrease growth of S. mutans colonies as a result.
With a view to utilizing fish skin gelatin as a clearifier or chewing gum base, yellowfin sole skin gelatin was succinylated. Up to 10% succinic anhydride to gelatin, the succinylation degree of gelatin was increased linear and above this concentration a nearly constant value was reached. The succinylated gelatin treated with 15% succinic anhydride to gelatin was examined on the reactivity properties with tannic acid in the experiment. Succinylation degree of the gelatin was about 80%. Succinylation shifted the apparent isoelectric point from pH 5.54 in untreated gelatin to pH 4.08 in succinylated gelatin. The proximate composition and amino acid composition of succinylated gelatin were similar to those of untreated gelatin. However Lysine composition for succinylated gelatin was lower than for untreated gelatin. The ratio of precipitated gelatin and tannic acid became maximum at pH 4.8 in untreated gelatin, at pH 4.0 in succinylated gelatin. Regardless of the difference between untreated and succinylated gelatins, the ratio of precipitated gelatin decreased with concentration of gelatin. The ratio of precipitated tannic acid was the highest by adding $2{\sim}4$ times in succinylated gelatin to tannic acid weight, by adding $2{\sim}3$ times in untreated gelatin. The ratios of precipitated succinylated gelatin and tannic acid were scarcely affected by the presence of sucrose, however, were affected by the presence of ethyl alcohol.
Instrumental and sensory characteristics of chewing gums were measured at each masticatory stage, and the correlations between the characteristics were analyzed. In instrumental characteristics, similarities were proved between initial puncture work and puncture force, intermediate hardness and penetration work, final hardness and penetration work, and adhesion work and adhesion force. Final hardness correlated highly with yield force and the slope of force-distance curve of penetration test, and the slope also correlated significantly with springiness and adhesion force. In sensory characteristics, the correlations of the same parameter between trained panel and consumer were extremely high. Initial stiffness correlated significantly with both intermediate and final firmness by consumer. Highly significant correlations were obtained between final firmness and stiffness and between lift and cohesion by trained panel, whereas firmness correlated with adhesion negatively.

501 preschool children from 4 to 6 years were examined for their salivary reductase activity and caries experience by Resazurin Disc Test and dental examination respectively. We asked the parents about their children's oral hygiene habits, between-meal eating habits, and physical exercise habits by the questionnaire. Toothbrushing frequency had negative relation to salivary reductase activity and caries experience. Caries experience was low when parents did toothbrushing for children, when teeth were brushed at bedtime, and when fluoride toothpastes were used. Salivary reductase activity and caries experience were high in bread & cookies group, chocolates & candies group, milk & soft drink group, and fruits & vegetables group in order. Caries experience was high in case of irregular between-meal eating. Sweet food eating frequency had positive relation to caries experience. Caries activity was low in case of eating homemade non-sweet between-meals. Salivary reductase activity and caries experience were low when gum-chewing frequency was high. Salivary reductase activity and caries experience were high when the amount of physical exercise was low.
