The purpose of this study was to establish an effective strategy for smoking cessation programs of adult by examining the relationship between smoking and oral characteristics in 166 men in their 20s in Ulsan and Busan. As a result, there was a difference in dental fear (χ²=4.72, p<0.01), tooth stain (χ²=10.22, p<0.01) and others perception of bad breath (χ²=7.35, p<0.01). Smokers had 2.03 times more dental fear, 3.26 times more tooth stain, and 2.51 times more other perception of bad breath higher than non smokers. Therefore, effective smoking cessation education should be continuously operated in order to prevent 20-year-old men from leading to lifetime smoking.

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. Early detection is a key determinant of HNC prognosis. Hence, raising awareness of this disease may improve survival rates. The present study evaluated the level of awareness and screening status for HNC in the general population of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: An e-questionnaire was distributed during our HNC awareness campaign at the Red Sea Mall in Jeddah. The questions assessed HNC knowledge and screening status among participants. Results: Of the 112 respondents, 68% indicated that they had no knowledge of HNC. Social media was the major source of information (39%) for respondents. The majority (40%) believed that it was the joint responsibility of dentists, dental hygienists, and general physicians to screen for HNC; 82% had never been screened. Conclusions: Knowledge and awareness of HNC must be increased in the general population and among dental health professionals.

본 연구는 최근에 크게 증가하고 있는 정신질환자의 구강건강 문제에 주목하여 그 실태를 파악하고자 시행하였다. 강원도 소재의 정신보건센터 한 곳의 주간 프로그램 참여대상자(23명)와 정신병원 한 곳의 입원 대상자(69명) 전체 92명을 편의집락추출하여 구강건강상태와 치주건강상태, 구강위생상태를 사정하였으며 수집된 자료를 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 상실치아(MT)는 병원 대상자(6.42)가 센터 대상자(1.83)보다 더 높았으나, 충전치아(FT)는 센터 대상자(4.78)가 병원 대상자(2.52)보다 높았다(p<0.05). DMFT index는 정신질환자(12.80)가 전국표본(6.22)에 비해 더 높았고, 연령이 높을수록, 학력이 낮을수록, 의료급여 대상자의 구강건강 상태가 더 나빴다(p<0.05). 2. 구강위생상태는 PHP index 3.41로 자가구강건강관리가 잘 이루어지지 않는 편이였다(p<0.05). 3. 치주건강 상태는 병원 대상자(81.7%)가 센터 대상자(47.6%)에 비해 치주요양필요자율이 더 높았으며, 특히 40대와 60대, 학력이 낮을수록, 가족이 없을수록 더 나빴다(p<0.05). 치주요양불필요자율(CPITN0)은 병원 대상자(18.3%)가 전국표본(27.4%)에 비해 낮았으며, 치주조기병치료필요자율(CPITN3)은 병원 대상자(13.3%)가 전국표본(5.7%)보다 더 높았다. 4. 정신질환자의 구강건강상태를 개선하기 위하여 치과위생사는 정신질환자의 구강건강 상태 증진을 위한 노력을 해야 하며, 이에 앞서 해당 집단 안에서 연령과 학력, 결혼유무, 가족 형태, 경제적인 상태 등을 선행조사할 필요가 있다. 또한 정신질환 종류와 심도별 인지능력을 고려하여 교육매체와 교육 프로그램을 구분하여 고안해야 한다. 한편 치과계에서는 정신질환자의 구강건강상태를 개선하기 위한 정책적인 방안을 마련하는 데에 점진적인 노력을 기울여야 하며, 주기적인 구강건강관리실태를 파악할 필요가 있다. 5. 본 연구는 접근이 어려운 정신질환자를 대상자로 선정하여 전반적인 구강건강상태를 측정하였다는 점에 그 의의가 있으나, 표본을 단일모집단으로 선정하였다는 점에 한계가 있다.

Taste is closely related to intake of food. Taste perception is also influenced by type of food ingested, and nutrition and health status. Bitter taste plays an important role in the survival of human and animals to avoid probable toxic and harmful substances. Vertebrate animals recognize bitter taste through type 2 taste receptors (T2Rs). Several T2Rs have been expressed extra-oral such as the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, urogenital tract, brain and immune cells, and parts of their functions are being revealed. This review will discuss physiological roles of T2Rs in relation to innate immunity, secretion and smooth muscle contraction expressed in extra-oral cells and tissues, and we summarize relationships between polymorphisms in T2Rs and general or oral diseases. It is not a coincidence that animals pay much genetic costs for taste and smell during evolution.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and occlusal status in elderly individuals. Methods: A total of 162 individuals aged 65 years and older, who attended the senior citizen center in Daegu city, were included after consent for participation in the study was obtained. The Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) was used to evaluate the level of cognitive function. Occlusal status was determined using the T-scan $III^{(R)}$ system. All collected data were analyzed by ${\chi}^2$ test, t-test, one way ANOVA, and linear regression analysis using SPSS version 23.0 for Windows. Results: There was a significant relationship between the cognitive function and the use of dentures. Individuals with posterior occlusal status had higher MMSE-K scores than those with anterior occlusal status. There was a positive correlation between the cognitive function and posterior occlusal force. Conclusions: These results suggest that occlusal status was associated with cognitive function in the elderly individuals. Active national policies to improve occlusal condition in the elderly population are needed.

This survey study was conducted on dental technician school students in April 2008 to investigate the effects of smoking on oral health. 110 male and 39 female students were surveyed and cross analysis was performed to examine the relationship between oral health status and smoking-related and oral health maintenance characteristics of smoking and non-smoking group. T-test and one-way ANAVA was used to analyze the average difference verification of two independent samples(smoking group and non-smoking group) and followings are the results. In general characteristics, 74 male students(74.7%) and 25 female(25.3%) students smoked and the percentage of male students were higher in smoking group. Regarding class grade, 2nd-year students(37 students, 37.4%) and 1st-year students(18 students, 36.0%) took the highest percentage of smoking and non-smoking group, respectively. Concerning the experience of drinking, smoking group consumed more alcoholic beverages(94 students, 94.9%) With respect to the frequency of between-meal consumption, respondents who eat between-meal once or twice smoked more. Respecting preferences of sweet food, respondents who enjoyed sweet food smoked more. Concerning smoking characteristics, many of smoking group had been smoked fo a long time(two to five years) and it was worrisome. About the amounts of smoking, 50 respondents(52.6%) of smoking group smoked 20 cigarettes a day with the highest proportion. With regard to the awareness of harmfulness, 70 respondents(70.7%) considered smoking as very harmful and showed that smoking group were aware of its harmfulness but it was habitualized. Respecting smokers in family members, father was more common as smokers(58 respondents, 58.6%) in family and showed that the influence of father. Main reasons of poor periodontal health were alchoholic consumption, smoking, and oral parafunctional habit(57 respondents, 56.7%) in smoking group and neglect of oral hygiene(21 respondents, 42.0%) in non-smoking group. With regard to the scaling, 80 respondents of smoking group(80.8%) didn't received scaling and showed that more oral health education was required. Regarding the periodontal status, non-smoking group was $1.26{\pm}0.44$, respondents who received scaling was $1.43{\pm}0.50$, respondents who regularly floss was $1.50{\pm}0.52$, respondents who brush more than three times a day was $1.38{\pm}0.49$ and had better periodontal health. Bleeding during tooth brushing was more frequent in smoking group ($1.51{\pm}0.70$). Regarding mouth order, non-smoking group was $2.34{\pm}0.62$, after scaling was $2.02{\pm}0.76$, patients who regularly floss was $1.50{\pm}0.52$, patients who brush more than three times a day was $1.81{\pm}0.87$. Concerning the experience of dental caries treatment, smoking group was $1.20{\pm}0.40$, patients who do not floss was $1.30{\pm}0.46$, patients who brush once a day was $1.29{\pm}0.45$. With regard to dental prosthesis, non-smoking group was $3.78{\pm}1.62$, patients who received scaling was $1.43{\pm}0.50$, patients who regularly floss was $1.40{\pm}0.51$, patients who brush more than three times a day was $1.24{\pm}0.43$. From these results, oral health education and smoking has correlation and more oral health education needs to be carried out to educate students with non-health related majors about harmfulness of smoking on oral health. Also more study are required.
