This study was conducted to invesigate the difference between dental hygienists' awareness of COVID-19 vaccination and whether or not they were vaccinated against COVID-19 according to their experiences of exposure to COVID-19. 106 dental hygienists were asked about their general characteristics, awareness of COVID-19 vaccination, their experiences of exposure to COVID-19, and whether they had been vaccinated against COVID-19. 81.1% of the study subjects had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination, and the vaccination rate was higher among those in their 20s (93.3%) than those in their 30s (72.1%). As dental workers, the group who recognized the importance of COVID-19 vaccination, the group who trusted information on the COVID-19 vaccine, and the group who did not delay vaccination against infectious diseases showed a high rate of COVID-19 vaccination (p<.05). For a safe dental care environment from cross-infection, information and related education on COVID-19 vaccination should be provided to dental hygienists. In addition, dental medical institutions need to have a system to manage employees' vaccination information and to support inoculation leave for rest in order to encourage vaccination. 본 연구는 치과위생사의 COVID-19 백신접종 유무를 조사하고, 백신접종에 관한 인식과 COVID-19 노출 경험에 따른 COVID-19 백신접종 여부의 차이를 확인하고자 수행하였다. 2021년 8월부터 약 3개월간 치과위생사 106명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고, 일반적 특성, 백신접종 인식과 COVID-19 노출 경험, COVID-19 백신접종 유무를 조사하였다. 연구결과, 연구대상의 81.1%가 1회 이상 COVID-19 백신접종을 하였고, ‘나는 치과의료종사자로서 COVID-19 노출 가능성이 있다(100%)’와 ‘나는 COVID-19 백신에 대한 추가 정보가 필요하다(96.2%)’의 동의률이 높았다. COVID-19 백신접종이 중요하다고 인식하는 그룹, COVID-19 백신 정보를 신뢰하는 그룹, 감염병 예방 백신접종을 미루지 않는 그룹에서 COVID-19 백신접종률이 높게 조사되었다(p<.05). 교차감염으로부터 안전한 치과환경을 위하여 치과의료기관이나 관련 단체는 치과의료종사자에게 COVID-19 백신접종에 대한 정보와 관련 교육을 제공하고 직원의 백신접종 정보를 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 갖출 필요가 있다. 또한 직원의 보건복지를 고려하여 백신접종자에게 휴가를 지원하는 제도를 마련할 필요가 있다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to characterize the impact of cognitive function and oral health status on mastication in senior citizens, ≥65 years of age, using senior centers in the city of Wonju, South Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of a simple oral examination and survey questionnaires was performed in 154 individuals. General characteristics, subjective masticatory function, objective masticatory function, cognitive function, and oral health status were collected as variables. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. A p -value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The subjective masticatory function was scored using the 5-point Likert scale. When subjective masticatory function was analyzed in groups according to cognitive function, the mean subjective masticatory function scores were 4.31, 4.09, and 3.29 in the normal group (cognitive score of ≥16), suspected dementia group (cognitive score of 1215), and mild dementia group (cognitive score of ≤11), respectively. Thus, subjective masticatory function decreased along with decreasing cognitive function. When cognitive function, subjective masticatory function, and objective masticatory function were compared with indicators of oral health status (number of functional teeth, oral dryness), subjective masticatory function exhibited a significant positive correlation with objective masticatory function (r=0.635, p <0.01), cognitive function (r=0.292, p <0.01), and total number of functional teeth, including prosthetic appliances (dentures) (r=0.305, p <0.01). According to the regression analysis, age, sex, number of functional teeth, and cognitive function affected subjective masticatory function. Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that age, sex, number of functional teeth, and cognitive function affected subjective masticatory function, whereas oral dryness did not. Therefore, dental professionals must consider subjective masticatory function when providing oral care in senior patients with low cognitive function.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and prevalence of periodontal disease in a representative sample of Korean adults older than age 20. Methods: Data of 3,837 adults were collected by the six Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted in 2015. Socioeconomic, demographic, and oral health-related behavior data were collected as independent variables. We determined frequencies, percentage, and determining statistical significance using multiple regression analysis. Results: Prevalence of periodontal diseases showed statistically significant difference in accordance with sex, age, socioeconomic and demographical characteristics and oral health-related behavior. It was confirmed that the prevalence of periodontal diseases was increased in the lower educational level and income (OR, 1.478 and 1.520) after adjusting for conditions such as age, sex, recent dental check-ups, visiting dental clinic, tooth brushing frequency, use of self-care devices. Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontal disease was related with socioeconomic factors in Korean adults. Therefore, differentiated oral health service policies and dental health education among adults with lower education and income is required in order to reduce the prevalence of periodontal disease.

Objectives: To evaluate the oral health status of intubated patients in a trauma intensive care unit (TICU). Methods: Medical records of 70 patients in the TICU between March and November 2018 were reviewed to assess their systemic and general characteristics. Oral health status was examined using the modified Bedside Oral Exam (M-BOE). Among the eight items investigated, swallowing, lips, saliva, plaque, and odor were considered for analysis without further processing, whereas soft tissues, such as the gingiva, buccal mucosa, and tongue were stratified by their texture, color, and moisture level. Oral hygiene scores ranged from 0 (excellent) to 42 (very poor). Results: Oral health status showed that the average M-BOE score was 11.76±4.87. The lowest and highest scores were 3 and 24, respectively. Furthermore, the item-wise breakdown of oral health status showed that the average score was high for gingiva, mucosa, and tongue, and there was a deviation between the minimum and maximum values. Conclusion: The oral health of patients in the TICU was poor. It is crucial to evaluate the oral condition at the time of admission and to improve the oral health of intubated patients, which requires more detailed oral management.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship among dietary intake ability, oral health status, and nutritional status in the elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of a simple oral examination and questionnaire survey was performed on 154 persons. A survey questionnaire was produced by revising and extending survey questionnaires from previous studies. Information on the general characteristics, dietary intake ability, nutritional status, and oral health status was collected as variables. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Nutritional status decreased with decreasing dietary intake ability and oral health status (number of functional teeth and oral dryness). Nutritional status significantly correlated positively with dietary intake ability (r = .414, p < 0.01) and total number of functional teeth (r = .166, p < 0.01) and negatively with oral dryness (r = -.171, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that dietary intake ability, dry mouth status, and the number of functional teeth affected nutritional status, whereas general characteristics did not. Therefore, dental professionals and nutritionists must consider dietary intake ability and oral health status when performing oral care for senior patients with nutritional status.
