Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and prevalence of periodontal disease in a representative sample of Korean adults older than age 20. Methods: Data of 3,837 adults were collected by the six Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted in 2015. Socioeconomic, demographic, and oral health-related behavior data were collected as independent variables. We determined frequencies, percentage, and determining statistical significance using multiple regression analysis. Results: Prevalence of periodontal diseases showed statistically significant difference in accordance with sex, age, socioeconomic and demographical characteristics and oral health-related behavior. It was confirmed that the prevalence of periodontal diseases was increased in the lower educational level and income (OR, 1.478 and 1.520) after adjusting for conditions such as age, sex, recent dental check-ups, visiting dental clinic, tooth brushing frequency, use of self-care devices. Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontal disease was related with socioeconomic factors in Korean adults. Therefore, differentiated oral health service policies and dental health education among adults with lower education and income is required in order to reduce the prevalence of periodontal disease.

이 연구는 장애인 대상 치과진료 필요자 중 치과의료 서비스 미충족율과 그 이유를 조사하고, 미충족 치과치료에 따른 구강상태를 분석하였다. 국민건강영양조사 참여 대상 중 만 19세 이상 장애등록 응답자 444명을 선정하였고, 그 중 구강검진과 설문조사를 완료한 대상자 375명을 최종분석하였다. 장애유형은 6종류(지체장애, 뇌병변장애, 감각장애, 발달장애, 정신장애, 내분비장애)로 분류하였다. 연구대상자 중 미충족 치과치료 대상자는 128명이었으며, 최근 1년 동안 치과진료를 받지 못한 가장 주된 이유는 '경제적인 이유로'에 대한 항목이 49.2%으로 가장 많았으며, '다른 문제에 비해 덜 중요하다고 느껴서'에 대한 항목이 18.0%이었다. 치주질환과 영구치우식경험을 가진 장애인 중 미충족 치과치료 빈도와 진행정도가 높은 것으로 확인하였다. 치과진료 자원의 가용성 측면에서 장애인 수 대비 적절한 치과진료 서비스를 충분히 제공하여 치과진료 서비스의 원활한 이용이 요구된다.

근로자의 구강검진사업을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 수집하고자 2008년 5월 7일부터 5월 23일까지 대구 인근지역에 소재한 산업장 근로자 1,016명을 대상으로 설문조사와 구강검진을 실시하였고, 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 구강질환 유소견율은 전체 1016명 중 58.2%이며, 치주질환이 가장 높았으며, 중복질환, 치아우식증, 결손치, 발치, 치아파절 및 마모 순으로 나타났다. 2. 지난 6개월간 치과의료기관 방문율은 40%이며, 일반적 특성 중 연령이 높을수록, 미혼보다는 기혼이, 주관적 구강건강상태는 불건강할수록, 근무년수가 높을수록 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 3. 하루 칫솔질 횟수 3회 이상인 경우는 성별에서 여자가 더 높았으며, 연령은 40대가 가장 높았으며, 경제상태는 보통이 가장 높았으며, 근무년 수는 10년이 가장 유의하게 높았다. 4. 구강위생보조용품 사용율은 41.8%이었으며, 연령이 높을수록, 미혼보다는 기혼이, 경제상태가 여유있을수록, 근무년수가 높을수록 유의하게 높았다. 5. 구강질환과 구강보건행동의 관련성은 치주질환이 없는 사람이 치주질환이 있는 사람보다 하루 칫솔질 횟수가 3회 이상 더 유의하게 높았으며, 발치를 하지 않아도 될 사람이, 치아파절 및 마모가 있는 사람이, 중복질환이 없는 사람이 구강위생보조용품을 더 많이 사용하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 많은 근로자들이 구강질환을 앓고 있으며, 구강질환과 구강보건행동간에는 서로 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타나 현행 1년 주기의 구강검진사업이보다 많은 산업장에서 확대되어 실시되어야 하며, 구강검진과 더불어 구강보건교육이 함께 병행되어 근로자들의 올바른 구강보건행동이 건강한 구강건강을 유지 및 향상시킬 수 있도록 유도하여야 하겠다.

Recently, researches to develop phased array ultrasonic examination techniques are proceeded to diagnose dental caries and the status of surgical operation of dental implant. Sound field analysis of phased array ultrasonic transducers were carried out in order to characterizing the ultrasonic phased array beams. The sound field of ultrasonic radiation was calculated for the sample called "gypsum-improved stone" with the similar characteristics of dental materials. Industrial phased array ultrasonic devices were utilized for the insptriion of the artificial flaws machined in the gypsum-improved stone. Dental implants were made at the pig jaw bone and defect images were confirmed for the dental implants.
