In order to develop the programme for the improvement of dental health among primary school children, epidemiological survey to examine dental caries status was conducted among primary school children in Changwon, Korea. We sampled 2 primary schools and surveyed children from first to sixth grade aged 6-11 years. All samples were 3,206 consisted of 1,715 males and 1,491 females. We assessed caries prevalence on permanent teeth. 1. Children with caries experience on permanent teeth were 15.1% at 1st grade, 48.2% at 2nd grade, 73.8% at 3rd grade, 75.6% at 4th grade, 76.8% at 5th grade, 77.4% at 6th grade. 2. Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were 0.31 at 1st grade, 1.16 at 2nd grade, 2.12 at 3rd grade, 2.38 at 4th grade, 2.50 at 5th grade, 2.69 at 6th grade. 3. Decayed teeth among Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were totally 63.4%. Filled teeth among Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth were totally 36.6%. 4. Community dental health programmmes including water fluoridation, fluoride mouth rinsing, use of fluoride-containing toothpastes and fissure sealants should be developed to prevent dental caries among school children. 5. School incremental dental care programme should be also developed to prevent and treat children's dental caries by use of dentists and oral hygienists.

임신기 구강관리와 영아의 구강관리에 대한 지식은 구강병을 예방하기 위하여 가장 기본이 되는 것이며, 구강관리는 습관화 되는 과정이라는 점을 감안할 때 이 시기의 관리가 무엇보다도 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 연구자들은 임부들의 영아구강관리에 대한 지식을 살펴보고, 영유아기 우식증에 대한 인식정도를 파악하며, 임부들의 구강관리지식에 대한 잘못된 내용 포함정도를 살펴보기 위해 서울시 보건소와 유관업체에서 주관하는 임산부 건강교실에 참가한 임부 330명을 무작위 표본추출하여 개별면접방식으로 진행한 연구를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 임부들이 구강병을 중대한 문제로 생각하고 있는 비율은 82% 이었고, 잇솔질의 중요성을 인식하고 있는 비율은 94% 이었다. 2. 영유아기 우식증을 인지하고 있는 비율은 42% 이었고, 임신경험별로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(p<0.05). 3. 영유아기 우식증 원인 중 잘못된 수유습관을 인지하고 있는 비율은 58% 이었고, 잘못된 모유습관에 의한 우식발생 가능성에 대한 인지율은 43% 이었으며, 임신경험별로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(p<0.05). 4. 임신 중 태아는 모체의 치아로부터 칼슘을 빼앗아 간다고 인지하는 비율이 82% 이었다. 5. 임신 중 치과치료를 금하는 것이 안전하다고 인지하는 비율은 71% 이었다. 영아구강관리 및 임신기 구강관리에 대한 정확한 지식을 습득하고 있는 비율이 상대적으로 낮았고, 임신기 구강건강증진을 위한 프로그램의 개발과 정확한 구강관리 정보를 체계적으로 제공해 줄 수 있는 기회의 마련이 시급하다고 검토되었다.

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare renal tubular disorder characterized by normal anion gap metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, and high urine pH. It can be inherited or acquired. In untreated pediatric patients with dRTA, rickets and growth retardation are common. We report the case of a 12-year-old Lao girl who presented with typical clinical features of dRTA with severe bone deformities that developed after a bed-ridden state due to a bicycle accident at the age of 8 years. Initial laboratory tests revealed metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap, hypokalemia, and alkali urine. Renal ultrasonography revealed bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis. Whole exome sequencing revealed no pathogenic mutations. After treatment with oral alkali, potassium, and vitamin D, she could walk and run. Later, she underwent corrective orthopedic surgeries for bony deformities. Thus, in pediatric dRTA patients, despite severe symptoms remaining untreated, accurate diagnosis and proper management can improve quality of life.

Background: N-nitrosamines are carcinogenic substances often found in rubber products. They are produced when certain additives of rubber products react with nitrite in saliva or air. Exposure assessment for the proper management and communication of N-nitrosamines in rubber balloons should be carried out. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the concentrations of N-nitrosamines in rubber balloons in the South Korean market and assess exposure among Korean children. Methods: Forty eight rubber balloon products in the domestic market were purchased and a total of 68 balloons were analyzed for N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances. Chemical analysis was conducted by HPLC-MS/MS according to the method EN 71-12. For exposure assessment, an exposure algorithm and coefficients were obtained from previous studies. Results: Among the 68 rubber balloons, N-nitrosamines were detected in 18 (26.5%) with an average level of 60.77 ㎍/kg. N-Nitrosatable substances were detected in 44 products (64.7%) with an average level of 1353.33 ㎍/kg. As a result of the exposure evaluation, the exposure dose differed according to how exposure coefficients were applied. The median exposure (50th percentile) was higher in the age group of 6~12 years, and high exposure (95th percentile) was higher in the age group of 13~18. Conclusions: We evaluated the N-nitrosamines contained in rubber balloons purchased in the domestic market and assessed oral exposure among South Korean children. For integrated risk management of N-nitrosamines, further studies and discussion regarding exposure and risk assessment are required.

Background: The program aims to enable the participants to receive oral health care with sustainability and give them the choice and prior autonomy of dental practitioners while enhancing the benefits of sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the necessity, awareness, and satisfaction of the implementation of the registered dentist program for children and adolescents, and to promote the introduction of RDPCA. Methods: The survey targeted adult residents in their 20s or older who live in Seoul, an area that continuously implements the RDPCA system, especially in the cities of Cheonan and Asan Results: 79.7% were the most unaware. However, RDPCA participants were significantly more aware than non-participants. When surveying the desire to participate in RDPCA, 96.6% of the respondents said they would 'participate' in the non-RDPCA participate group. The analysis of the satisfaction level of the RDPCA received by their children indicated that 48.6% expressed their satisfaction, and 47.3% said they were healthy. There was a high percentage of people who said they would recommend RDPCA to others as well as a high rate of those who said they would continue to use RDPCA. Conclusions: The reality is that the awareness and implementation of RDPCA are low. For the development of oral health care programs for all children and adolescents in Korea, and the improvement of the satisfaction level of the dental care system, there should be an active consideration of high-quality programs and.

The data were obtained from patients who were provided with dental treatment under general anesthesia for last 3years managed at the Dept. of pediatric dentistry in PNU Hospital. The distribution of age, gender, primary reason for general anesthesia, duration of dental procedure, number of treated tooth and periodic recall check-up were surveyed. In distribution of age, most(78%) were younger than 10 years and mean was 13.0 years. The reasons for providing general anesthesia were lack of cooperation due to various mental and physical handicapped situation(74%), congenital heart disease(13%), combined with medically compromised and behavior problem and others. The average duration of the treatments was 2 hours and 41 minutes and average duration of the anesthesia was 3 hours and 6minutes. The mean number of treated with restoration a children were 16.7 teeth. From the results, total dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia is a favorable modality to improve for disabled children's oral condition.
