Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the preparation of toothbrushing and the opinion of teachers in the practice of toothbrushing of elementary school students to provide information on the implementation of school-based toothbrushing programs. Methods : The subjects were 85 elementary school teachers. The statistical package SPSS 18.0 was used to obtain descriptive statistics and ${\chi}^2$-test. Results : Oral health education program and toothbrushing preparation proved to be the most important priority in this study. The barriers to school-based toothbrushing guideance were limit of education time and shortage of space. School-based toothbrushing was related to oral health education program in the meanwhile school without school-based toothbrushing program needed the toothbrushing facilities. About 87.5% of the schools had not equipped with toothbrushing facilities. If the facilities were given, 82.5% of the school would implement the program. Conclusions : The elementary school is the place where the lifelong oral health program is given to the students, so it is very important to promote the school-based toothbtushing nationwide in the future.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 권장하고 있는 회전법이 실천 용이하고 치면세균막 제거에 효과적인지 다른 칫솔질 방법과 비교해 보고, 집단칫솔질교육 후 시간흐름에 따른 효과추이를 확인하고자 임의 추출한 20대 대학생을 대상으로 O'leary 지수와 PHP 지수를 구하고 칫솔질 수행도를 조사하였다. 분석은 STATA 11.0을 이용하였다. 회전법과 바스법, 와타나베법의 칫솔질 방법에 따라 O'leary 지수와 PHP 지수 및 칫솔질 수행도가 차이가 있는지에 대해 조사하기 위해 1차부터 3차까지 평균을 비교한 결과 차이가 없었다. 칫솔질 교육 전인 1차, 칫솔질 교육 2주 후인 2차, 칫솔질 교육 4주 후인 3차의 O'leary 지수, PHP 지수 및 칫솔질 수행도의 차이를 확인하기 위해 비모수 표본자료에 사용하는 Kruskal-Wallis test를 수행한 결과 O'leary 지수의 경우 칫솔질 교육 전 측정 시 가장 낮은 점수를 기록하였고, 2차시기 측정치가 가장 높게 나타났다(p=0.0001). PHP 지수는 1차시기 가장 높게 나타났고, 2차시기 감소하였다가 3차시기 다시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p=0.0001). 칫솔질 수행도 역시 PHP 지수와 유사한 경향을 보였다(p=0.0001). 이상의 결과로 회전법이 모든 사람에게 획일적으로 권장할 만한 방법인지 좀 더 다각적인 고찰이 필요하고, 칫솔질 교육효과는 시간이 지나면서 감소되므로 지속적인 교육이 실행될 수 있도록 제도적 장치가 마련되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives: This study was conducted at a request for cooperation through an analysis of the effect of toothbrushing facilities at a public health center in Seongdong-gu. Also, with the aim of furnishing basic data to the proposal of a program for improving the ability of school aged children in managing oral cavities and developing a correct toothbrushing habit, the study conducted an investigation of how toothbrushing facilities affect change in the oral environment management ability and behavior of oral health care. Methods: From among elementary schools located in Seongdong-gu, Seoul the study selected A Elementary School where toothbrushing facilities were established and have been operated since 2008, B Elementary School in an adjacent region within the jurisdiction of Seongdong-gu where the demographic environment was similar among schools where toothbrushing facilities were newly established in 2012, and C Elementary School without toothbrushing facilities. Then the study was aimed at first grade students of the schools and an investigation was carried out from April to December 2012. Through a dental checkup, the study evaluated the teeth and periodontal health conditions, and a test of the oral environment management ability was undertaken three times. Regarding change of oral health care behavior, the study carried out a self-recording survey. Results: 1. Concerning decayed and filled tooth(dft) and decayed and filled surface (dfs), A Elementary School where toothbrushing facilities have been established and operated from the past showed a relatively lower decayed, missing, and filled teeth index than B Elementary School where toothbrushing facilities were established in 2012 or C Elementary School without toothbrushing facilities; however, there was no significant difference (p>0.05). For CPI, there was no significant difference by school; however, in looking into the difference between boy students and girl students, Code (0) was discovered higher in boy students whereas Code (1) was shown higher in girl students. 2. In the PHP index test in accordance with the existence of toothbrushing facilities before the installation of toothbrushing facilities, for A Elementary School where toothbrushing facilities have been established and operated from the past, the school recorded 4.28 points whereas B Elementary School where the facilities were established in 2012 recorded 3.51 points. Meanwhile C Elementary School without the facilities posted 4.30 points. Therefore there was a statistically significant difference according to the existence of toothbrushing facilities (p<0.05). 3. In a comparison of teeth health care behavior according to the existence of toothbrushing facilities, the number of answers that the respondent did not brush their teeth after lunch over the past one week was higher in B Elementary School and C Elementary School where there were no toothbrushing facilities. Regarding the average number of brushing after lunch for one week, it was discovered higher in A Elementary School (p<0.01). 4. In change of teeth health care behavior before and after the establishment of toothbrushing facilities, the case of answering that the respondents did not brush their teeth after lunch for one week increased more after establishment than before establishment. Also the average number of teeth brushings after lunch for one week decreased further after the establishment of toothbrushing facilities; however, it did not show a significant difference (p>0.05). One of the reasons that they do not brush their teeth, "the lack of a place", decreased significantly after establishment than before establishment (p<0.05), whereas the answer, "because their friends do not brush their tooth" increased greatly after establishment than before establishment; however, there was no significant difference (p>0.05). 5. In the comparison of the degree of knowledge about dental health according to the existence of toothbrushing facilities, the degree of knowledge about dental health was shown significantly higher in A Elementary School with toothbrushing facilities than in B Elementary School and C Elementary School where there were no toothbrushing facilities (p<0.01). Conclusions: Given the above results, it is difficult to attract change in behavior only with an environmental improvement; therefore, it is deemed necessary to develop an educational program that will help children to make a habit of oral health care not only through a school but also through a related policy and financial support of government organizations as well as the construction of the basis of a systematic and consistent cooperative system with relevant organizations.

본 연구는 서울특별시 성동구에서 치아건강사업의 일환으로 관내 모든 초 중 고등학교에 양치시설을 확대 설치하기 결정 한 후 2012년 양치교실을 설치한 중학교의 양치시설 효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존에 양치시설이 설치되어있는 A중학교와 2012년 양치시설이 설치된 B중학교 1학년을 대상으로 구강환경관리능력 및 치아건강관리 행태의 변화를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DMFT와 DMFS는 기존에 양치시설이 설치 운영되어 온 A중학교가 B중학교보다 더 낮게 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). CPI는 치아우식경험지수와 다른 결과를 보였는데 학교별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 여학생이 남학생에 비하여 code (0)은 높게 나타났고 code (2)는 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 2. 양치시설이 설치되기 전, 양치시설 유무에 따른 PHP index 검사에서는 양치시설이 있는 학교의 학생들이 구강환경관리능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01). 양치시설 전 후에 따른 조사에서는 양치시설 설치 전보다 양치시설 설치 후에 구강환경관리능력 개선 정도가 유의하게 크게 나타났다(p<0.01). 3. 양치시설 유무에 따른 치아건강관리 행태 비교에서는 지난 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우는 양치시설이 없었던 B중학교에서 더 높게 나타났고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균횟수는 양치시설이 있는 A중학교에서 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.01). 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유에 대해서는 학교간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 '장소가 부족해서' 항목은 A중학교보다 양치시설이 없는 B중학교에서 높게 나타나 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 양치시설 설치 전후 치아건강관리 행태 변화에서는 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질을 하지 않았다고 응답한 경우가 설치 전보다 설치 후에 증가하였고, 1주간 점심 후 칫솔질 평균 횟수도 양치시설 설치 후에 더 감소하였으나 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 칫솔질을 하지 않는 이유 중 '장소가 부족해서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.01), '친구들이 하지 않아서'는 설치 전보다 설치 후에 크게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 구강보건지식의 개선만으로는 임상적, 행동적 의의를 가지지 않는다. 청소년들의 행동변화를 유도하여 직접 참여하기 위해서는 학교나 가정 한 단체만으로는 불가능하다. 학교뿐만 아니라 정부기관의 정책과 재정적 지원, 지역사회관련 교육기관들과 관련 단체들의 프로그램 개발과 평가에 대한 협조 등이 청소년들의 올바른 구강건강관리를 습관화 시키는 데 기여할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to propose a method for the effective management of toothbrush contamination. Toothbrush microbial contamination was analyzed according to the duration of toothbrush use, frequency of toothbrush use per day, and toothbrush storage location. We also analyzed the microbial reduction effect of vinegar, antimicrobial mouth rinse, bamboo salt, and baking soda, which are sterilization materials that can be easily used every day. We collected 45 toothbrushes from university dormitories from May to June 2018. To determine the degree of microbiological contamination with general bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus, bristle samples were cultured at $36^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours using 3M$^{TM}$ Petrifilm plates and then measured based on Petrifilm evaluation criteria. Toothbrush microorganisms were analyzed according to the duration of use, frequency of use per day, storage location, and effect of each sterilization material. General bacteria, coliforms, and S. aureus contamination increased with frequency and duration of use (p<0.05). In particular, S. aureus showed a statistically significant increase to 36.15 CFU/ml after 1 month, 504.23 CFU/ml after 2 months, and 2,386.67 CFU/ml after 3 months (p<0.05). We found that 1% vinegar was the most effective substance for reducing general bacteria, coliforms, and S. aureus. In addition, 1% antimicrobial mouth rinse solution applied for 5 minutes was the most effective in reducing S. aureus. It is crucial to recognize the importance of toothbrush care and store toothbrushes in a dry place and replace them periodically. We recommend use of vinegar and antimicrobial mouth rinse solution to disinfect toothbrushes. These should be applied as a 1% solution for at least 1 minute. Proper care of toothbrushes is important in maintaining oral health as well as overall health. Instructions on toothbrush care should be given when teaching children or adults how to brush teeth.
