, Ki-Soo Bae , Hee-Ja Na et al.Abstract : Objectives: Children and adolescents have a high prevalence of dental caries, primarily due to negligent oral care, frequent snack intake, and inadequate attention to oral disease prevention. Therefore, ensuring oral care and preventing dental caries during this period is essential. Economic barriers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like the Philippines, limit access to dental care, highlighting the need for national oral health programs. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the oral health status of children in selected areas of the Philippines and to generate basic data for effective oral health promotion programs. We compared the oral health statuses of enrolled and newly enrolled students in schools with school-based dental clinics. Results: The results indicated that the prevalence of caries and the average number of carious permanent teeth were lower in enrolled students than in new students. Conclusions: This finding suggests that school-based oral healthcare programs effectively improve children’s oral health and that introducing school-based dental clinics and establishing efficient systems are essential for improving oral health in low- and middle-income countries.
Abstract : Objectives: This study aimed to compare the toothbrushing practices of multicultural and monocultural Korean adolescents using data from the 19th (2023) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Methods: Raw data were obtained from the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Adolescents were classified into multicultural (at least one parent born abroad) and monocultural (both parents born in Korea) groups based on their parents’ country of birth. The dependent variables were whether they brushed their teeth at least twice a day and whether they brushed their teeth after lunch. Sociodemographic factors included gender, school grade (age), subjective academic achievement, subjective household economic status, and residential area. Following the user’s guidebook, we analyzed toothbrushing practices according to multicultural characteristics using complex sample crosstabs and logistic regression analysis. Results: Multicultural adolescents had a lower prevalence of toothbrushing practices, with the rates of brushing at least twice a day being 7.1% lower and rates of brushing after lunch being 5.7% lower (P
Abstract : Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the association between traumatic dental injury (TDI) in the 12 months and related factors using the 19th (2023) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey data. Methods: Raw data were obtained from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency website. The dependent variable was the experience of TDI in the past 12 months. The related factors were selected from various factors of demographic characteristics, psychosocial characteristics, injury and safety, and problematic behaviors. Complex sample cross-tabulation and logistic regression analyses were performed according to the data user guidebook. Results: In 2023, the prevalence of TDI among adolescents was 3.6%. Factors associated with TDI among adolescents included gender, school grade (age), sadness or hopeless, subjective academic achievement, hospital treatment because of injury at school, hospital treatment owing to violence, safety education at school, current drinking status, daily smoking, drug use experience, and vigorous physical activity. Conclusions: There was a significant association between the experience of TDI and various factors, such as demographic characteristics, psychosocial characteristics, injury and safety, and problematic behaviors, among adolescents. Therefore, this study should be further developed to derive effective intervention measures for TDI among Korean adolescents.
, Jun-Yeong Kwon , Da-Eun Kim et al.Abstract : Objectives: The study aim was to analyze smoking knowledge and smoking cessation intentions according to the stage of change in smoking cessation behavior among smokers in their 20s. This program was implemented to prepare smoking cessation educational content in order to increase the success rate of smoking cessation. Methods: The analysis included 99 smokers in their 20s who lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi; the study period was February 14-16, 2024. After explaining the study purpose and obtaining consent for participation in the study, an online Google Forms survey was conducted. Results: Smoking cessation intention and smoking knowledge according to the smoking cessation behavior change stage were significantly different depending on the presence of smokers and whether they attempted smoking cessation in the pre-contemplation period (P
Abstract : Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between depression and stress and oral-health behavior among Koreans before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic to provide basic data for systematically managing oral health in future infectious disasters and for developing mental-health policies based on oral health. Methods: We used raw national health and nutrition research data for the years 2018-2021. The years 2018 and 2019 were classified as ‘the pre-pandemic period’ and 2020 and 2021 were classified as ‘the pandemic period.’ The pre-pandemic and pandemic groups included 16,102 and 14,449 individuals, respectively. We excluded individuals aged
Abstract : Objectives: This study aimed to determine how a shared leadership education program affects college students’ leadership competency and social coexistence index. Methods: The study subjects were 82 students enrolled at University W located in J-do. Experimental treatment was performed once a week for 15 weeks and a total of 15 times. The collected data were analyzed by t-test using the SPSS statistical program. Results: This study derived the following results. First, as a result of implementing the shared leadership education program, male students displayed improvement in leadership, creative problem-solving ability, and caring thinking, which are sub-areas of leadership competency, and female students exhibited improvement in all sub-areas. Second, both men and women displayed significantly higher in network consideration, maintenance, and expansion among the sub-areas of the social coexistence index. Conclusions: The results suggest that one’s own leadership competency and social coexistence index can be improved through experience in shared leadership education programs.
, Ji-Hye Yun , Eun-Gyeong Cha et al.Abstract : Objectives: With the rapid aging of the Korean population, interest in oral health is increasing among older adults. However, information and communication technology (ICT)-based programs for oral function rehabilitation exercises (OFRE), that are closely related to the systemic and cognitive health of older adults, are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the applicability of ICT-based OFRE programs by identifying the demand from elder-care facility workers, who are the main providers, and to establish a basic plan for system development. Methods: This study was conducted using a Google Form questionnaire for approximately one month in September 2022 for workers at a day-and-night care center in Korea. Frequency analysis and chi-square tests were performed to identify the oral-health perceptions of center workers, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the need for ICT-based OFRE programs. Results: First, in patients undergoing oral function-related activities at the center, the need for OFRE was high, especially for mastication exercises (P
Abstract : Traumatic ulcers are common oral mucosal lesions primarily caused by mechanical trauma, typically presenting as solitary lesions with low recurrence rates. However, when associated with psychiatric disorders, these ulcers can become extensive and multiple. This study details a case of multiple traumatic ulcers in a 25-year-old male patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder focusing on characteristics and treatment process. Three months prior the patient began biting his tongue due to itching, leading to severe ulcers from uncontrollable repeated biting. Histopathological examination excluded reactive lesions, infectious diseases, and malignancies, confirming the diagnosis of a traumatic ulcer. Treatment included systemic and topical corticosteroids, behavioral modification therapy, and oral appliance use. Despite a significant reduction in ulcer severity, poor compliance with oral appliances resulted in incomplete healing and recurrence. This case highlights the impact of psychiatric disorders on the development and exacerbation of traumatic ulcers, underscoring the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment by dental professionals.
, Hyoung-Joo Kim , Hanna Gu et al.Abstract : Objective: This study aimed to review domestic and international literature on oral health interventions for pregnant women and provide basic data for the development of oral health intervention programs. Methods: We used domestic and international search databases, such as Medline, Embase, Research Information Sharing Service, Science On, Korea Citation Index, and DBpia. Among papers published between 2003 and 2023, 22 met the selection criteria by combining “pregnant women,” “oral hygiene,” and “oral health.” Results: Since 2007, foreign literature has steadily increased; however, domestic literature has decreased. Overseas research designs were mostly randomized control trials, whereas domestic designs were mostly non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest. The intervention methods included three preventive programs, five specialized oral care programs, and 14 oral health education programs. Conclusions: In-depth research should be conducted to increase the understanding and interest of pregnant women. Systematic intervention programs that consider the effectiveness and sustainability of intervention methods should be developed, and policy support should be provided to strengthen the importance of oral health education by experts and institutional improvements.
