Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the dental fear and related factors of dental hygienists using dental fear survey. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 279 dental hygienists from January 15 to March 28, 2015. The study instrument was dental fear survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 program by t-test, one way ANOVA and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The questionnaire included general characteristics of the subjects, subjective oral health status, use of dental care services, subjective oral health status, and recent dental treatment. Results: Alcohol consumption was the most influential factor to the dental fear. The subjective status of oral health and direct pain sense also contributed to the dental fear. Conclusions: To reduce the dental fear, it is important to have high confidence toward the dental treatment performance in the dental hygienists.

Objectives: Grip strength is a measure for assessing overall muscle strength, muscle mass, and nutritional status, and is a useful tool for early examination of a person's general health. Thus, this study analyzed the association between oral health-related factors and grip strength, using the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Methods: Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 25.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) software with a complex sampling analysis of stratified and clustered variables, all with weighted values, applied for every analysis conducted. From the 6th KNHANES data, a total of 26,101 people were selected as the study population. A complex sample generalized linear model analysis was performed for participants' sociodemographic characteristics, health status, use of oral care products, and factors such as adult mastication and speaking habits. Results: Grip strength was found to be higher among men compared to women. Grip strength was the highest in the 20-39 year old group. Furthermore, grip strength was statistically significantly higher among married and employed individuals, and in the right hand (p<0.001). Grip strength was statistically significantly higher among people who perceived themselves to have good health and among those who did not have health-related problems in the past two weeks (p<0.001). It was also higher among those who used interdental brushes and electronic toothbrushes (p<0.001), but decreased with greater discomfort in mastication and speaking among adults (p<0.05). Conclusions: Grip strength was found to be associated with oral health-related factors and therefore, these could be helpful tools in evaluating both general and subjective health statuses. In general, oral care products are small in size with oral care involving the use of hands and certain precise motions and actions to remove foreign substances in the oral cavity. As shown in the findings, grip strength declines with increased age and as a result, the use of oral care products should be strongly recommended in order to promote better general health.

본 연구는 2017년 1월부터 5월까지 일부지역치과에 내원하는 성인들을 대상으로 구강건강관리행태와 주관적 건강 인식수준을 파악하고 치과공포감에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하여 치과공포감을 낮추기 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다. 치과공포에서 회피요인은 여자, 40대, 고졸이하, 주부, 300-399만원, 생리적 반응요인은 여자, 40대, 주부, 200-299점, 자극유발유인 여자, 30대, 주부, 전체공포수준은 30대, 주부, 400-499만원에서 높았다. 구강건강관리행태에 따른 공포감에서 치료회피요인은 구강검진을 하지 않고, 칫솔질방법이 틀린 경우, 생리적 반응요인과 자극반응요인은 검진을 하지 않고, 스케일링 경험이 없는 경우, 전체공포감은 검진을 하지 않고, 칫솔교환시기가 4개월 이상인 경우에서 치과공포감이 높았다. 치과공포에 영향을 미치는 주관적 건강인식수준, 주관적 구강건강인식수준, 성별, 나이, 정기검진유무, 구강보건교육 경험유무가 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서 치과공포감을 줄이기 위해서는 주관적 인식을 개선하고 정기검진과 구강보건교육을 위한 시스템이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the subjects' oral health status and changes in the oral environment after mouthwash with effervescent Vitamin C and its intake and to understand the impact on changes in the number of bacteria causing periodontal diseases in the oral cavity based on the oral health status and oral environmental condition. Methods: After obtaining approval from the Institutional Review Board of D-University, 45 people (24 in an experimental group and 21 in a control group) who participated in the oral health program were selected, among visitors of the Clinical Dental Hygienics Laboratory of D. University in B. Results: Based on the subjects' periodontal health status, the number of bacteria causing periodontal diseases in the oral cavity decreased in both experimental and control groups before and after the experiment. However, in the experimental group, it was significant when the Bleeding on Probing(BOP) level was below average, and Calculus index(CAL) was above average, in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and the red complex. It was also significant when CAL was above average in the orange complex in the control group. Regarding bacterial changes in periodontal diseases based on the subjects' oral environmental condition, there was a significant change in the Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP : intraoral contaminants test) test in the oral cavity in A. actinomycetemcomitans and the red complex in the experimental group and in the O'Leary index in the control group. Further, there was a significant change in the orange complex in the ATP test in the experimental group. Conclusions: A comprehensive analysis of the results revealed that the oral health care program for dental hygiene decreased the number of bacteria causing periodontal diseases in the oral cavity in both experimental and control groups.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제6기(2015년) 원시자료를 이용하여 20~65세의 경제적인 능력을 갖고 있는 2,088명의 근로자를 최종연구대상자로 선정하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 경제활동자의 만성질환과 구강건강행태의 연관성을 조사하고 구강질환의 위험인자를 알아보기 위해 시행하였다. 연구결과 다음과 같다. 치아우식증은 주관적인 구강건강상태, 치통경험, 교정치료경험, 씹기문제, 말하기문제, 구강검진 및 치과의료기관이용과 관련성이 나타냈다. 치주질환은 구강건강상태, 치통경험, 교정치료경험, 씹기 및 말하기문제와 관련성을 나타냈다. 만성질환과 구강건강행태가 구강질환에 미치는 위험도는 다음과 같다. 정상에 비해 고혈압은 1.37배, 비만은 1.48배, 당뇨군은 1.5배, 저HDL-콜레스테롤혈증, 1.31배, A형 간염항체는 1.53배 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 건강상태는 좋은군에 비해 나쁜 상태가 치아우식증 1.70배, 치주질환 2.10배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 치통경험은 치아우식증 1.30배, 치주질환 1.35배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 씹기문제는 치아우식증 1.76배, 치주질환 1.78배, 스트레스는 치아우식증과 치주질환 모두 1.44배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 흡연자는 치아우식증 1.61배, 치주질환 1.63배 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 만성질환은 치주질환의 발생위험률을, 구강건강행태는 치아우식증과 치주질환의 발생위험률을 증가시키는 것으로 파악되었다. 치아우식증은 구강건강관리만 잘해준다면 만성질환으로 이활 될 위험도가 낮아지는 것으로 보이나, 치주질환은 만성질환과 구강건강관리 모두가 중요하다고 여겨진다.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate oral health behavior, PHP index and OHIP, awareness, attitude and behavior toward oral health in the foreign factory workers. Thsi study will provide the basic data for the improvement of the foreigners' quality of life. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 126 Sri Lankans and 76 Chinese over 20 years old in Daegu and Gyeongbuk from January to April, 2012 through man to man interview after receiving informed consent. The questionnaire included oral health status, PHP index and OHIP. Results: OHIP was closely related to sex, marital status, and medical expense burden. PHP index was closely related to religion and income. The averages of OHP and PHP were 4.36 and 3.7, respectively and very bad. OHIP was influenced by number of toothbrushing, time of toothbrushing, use of oral hygiene device, and dental visit within a year. PHP index was influenced by the area of toothbrushing, time of toothbrushing, and the dental visit within a year. Regression analysis of PHP index according to OHIP and oral care conditions showed the equation. Y(OHIP)=2.999+0.103(area of toothbrushing)+0.346(the use of oral hygiene article)+ 0.077(visiting to the dentist during the past one year)-0.173(PHP index)(p<0.05). Conclusions: Low PHP index in the foreign workers affected quality of life. So the company must provide the continuing oral health care for the foreign workers every year. The concern for the health care for the foreigners will improve oral health behavior in the future.
