PURPOSE. Prevention of xerostomia and stress is important to prolong healthy life expectancy and improve the quality of life. We aimed to investigate the effects of tongue rotation exercise for increasing salivary secretions and stabilizing salivary stress hormone levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty four participants without subjective oral dryness were enrolled. The exercises comprised tongue rotation exercise and empty chewing. The salivary stress hormone level was measured using a Salivary Amylase Monitor. Unstimulated whole saliva volume and salivary amylase activity were measured before tongue rotation exercise or empty chewing and subsequently 5, 10, and 15 minutes after these exercises. Differences in the rates of change of unstimulated whole saliva volume and salivary amylase activity were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance. RESULTS. Statistically significant differences among the rates of change were not observed after empty chewing for unstimulated whole saliva volume and salivary amylase activity at the four measurement times. However, the rate of change of unstimulated whole saliva volume and salivary amylase activity were statistically significantly different among the four time points: before the tongue rotation exercise and 5, 10, and 15 minutes post-exercise (P<.05 and P<.01, respectively). CONCLUSION. Tongue rotation is effective in increasing saliva secretion, reducing stress, improving oral function, and extending healthy life expectancy.

The authors reviewed the etiology and essential treatment of temporomandibular disorders. The principal etiology was thought to the the myospasm of masticatory musculatures by stress (major cause) and dental irritation. Therefore, we attempted to control the myospasm by stress management, isometric exercise and regular daily physical exercises (walking, Jogging, bycycling, rope skipping, swimming & gymnastic exercise). The result was more favorable (95% success rate) without recurrence in 123 patients, who was referred to our department of dentistry(Oral & Maxillofacial surgery), Wonju Christian Hospital.

This study was designed to investigate the expression and production of interleukin-1beta $(IL-1{\beta})$ in human peripheral blood of trained runners and untrained controls after temporary moderate intensity exercise. Male long-distance trained runners (TR) and untrained sedentary control subjects (SED) ran for 1 h at 70% of heart rate reserve (HRR). $IL-1{\beta}$ gene and protein expressions were significantly higher in TR than those with SED at all 3 intervals examined independently. Significant increases in total sweat volume and oral temperature were observed after exercise in both groups, however, there were some differences between the groups. We conclude, therefore, that sweating due to exercise is associated with increase of $IL-1{\beta}$ and it is correlated with decrease of oral temperature.

Introduction: 모든 정복성 관절원판변위가 비정복성 관절원판변위로 진행되는 것은 아니지만 심각한 포착이나 걸림을 동반하는 정복성 관절원판변위는 비정복성 관절원판변위로 진행하게 된다. 이번 연구에서는 Locking-free Appliance(LA)를 이용한 개구운동치료의 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. Patients and Method: 후향적으로, 2010년 1월부터 2011년 12월까지 전북대학교병원 치과진료처 구강내과에서 LA를 이용한 개구운동치료를 받은 37명의 환자를 대상으로 분석을 시행하였다. 환자는 LA를 착용한 상태에서 하루 30번의 개구운동을 할 것을 교육받았다. Results: 치료를 받은 환자들 중 비정복성 관절원판변위로 악화된 환자는 없었다. 37명 중 16명의 환자들은 과두걸림 없이 개구가 가능해졌다. Mann-whitney test와 fisher's test, Chi-square test를 이용하여 분석 시, 과두걸림이 해소된 환자와 그렇지 않은 환자간의 나이, 성별, 통증유무, 과두걸림 호소 기간, 통증의 정도(VAS score)에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. Conclusion: 이번 연구에서, LA를 이용한 개구운동치료 후 일부 환자는 과두걸림 없이 개구가 가능해졌고, 일부 환자는 과두걸림이 해소되지 않았으나, 비정복성 관절원판변위로 악화된 경우는 없었다. 이 치료는 기존의 전통적인 치료방법에 비해 환자의 교합장치 착용 시간이 짧고, 비용이 저렴하며, 환자의 불편함을 최소화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서, LA를 이용한 개구운동치료는 과두걸림을 해소하거나, 비정복성 관절원판변위로의 악화를 예방하는데 새로운 치료방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.
