Objectives: More and more private dental insurance products are becoming available in Korea, but little is known about how well purchasers of these products understand them. Methods: Some adults conducted a survey to check their oral health knowledge according to whether they joined for private dental health insurance. Results: Adults enrolled in private dental insurance have high levels of knowledge and understanding about oral health. Participants’ knowledge of oral health positively correlated with their understanding of oral health information (r=.408, p<0.01). Conclusions: Education targeted at improving individuals’ understanding of oral health should be strengthened in the future, as patients’ general knowledge of oral health supports the prevention and treatment of oral disease.

Background: In order to increase job satisfaction and improve the quality level, it is necessary to establish a correct professional image, and accordingly, it is necessary to properly grasp the image of male dental hygienists, which is recently increasing. In this study, the image level of male dental hygienists according to general characteristics was identified, and the image of male dental hygienists was compared with the images of dental hygienists and males to identify more accurate image levels of male dental hygienists. Methods: The study conducted a total of 290 questionnaires to dental workers, including students, and ordinary people with experience in dental treatment within 3 years through self-reported questionnaires. Statistical methods were frequency analysis and mean comparison (t-test, ANOVA). Results: The average score of the image for male dentists was 3.3 out of 5. The image of male dental hygienists according to general characteristics was statistically higher for men in gender and the public in occupation. The average score of the image of the dental hygienist was 3.4 points, and the average score of the image for the male was 2.8 points. As a result of comparing and analyzing them with the image of a male dental hygienist, it was recognized higher than the image of a male and lower than the image of a dental hygienist, which showed a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: The average score of the male dental hygienist image was found to be slightly less than the average score of the dental hygienist image, and in detail, male dental hygienists tended to recognize the image as having less income than other occupations and not working for life. Therefore, it will need that active efforts such as public relations and education are needed in relation to the establishment of a desirable image of male dental hygienists in the future.

The subjects were recalled after 4 weeks for periodontal parameters measurement. Results: In the experimental groups, PI, GI, CAL and BOP scores were significantly reduced at 4 weeks compared to baseline. A statistically significant decrease in GI and BOP scores were observed in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Vitamin C, Vitamin E, lysozyme, carbazochrome complex medicine(IGATAN<SUP>®</SUP>) have an effect in reducing gingival bleeding and improving periodontal inflammatory condition inchronic incipient- moderate periodontitis.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a tool for assessing foreigners` understanding of oral health information in Korea called the Test of Korean Functional Health Literacy in Dentistry(TOKFHLiD) and examined validity and reliability of the tool. The TOKFHLiD consists of two literacy assessment parts: Dental Information Sentence(DIS) aims to assess one`s literacy of sentences containing oral health information. Dental Information Document(DID) aims to assess one`s numeracy and literacy of documents containing oral health information. Methods: Twenty eight preliminary questions were developed based on various medical care literature such as the agreement to diagnosis and treatment and the treatment precautions. DID using 14 preliminary questions was developed based on the appointment card, the treatment schedule, and labels on oral care products. The 42 preliminary questions in the DIS and the DID were subsequently put through four separate expert reviews, in which questions with content validity score of less than 0.8(13/15 points) were corrected and modified by five dental experts and then were corrected for language errors by two Korean language experts. The preliminary assessment tool was tested on 153 Koreans, and χ2 test was performed on the ratio of respondents who comprehended each question, the ratio of respondents who chose the correct answer for each question with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Of the 42 preliminary questions, 1 question in DIS and 1 question in DID, for which the ratio of Korean respondents who chose the correct answers did not exceed the acceptable level of 80%, were excluded and a final assessment tool was completed with 40 questions. Conclusions: Following the development and application of the tool, examination of the TOKHLiD for validity and reliability revealed that this assessment tool is adequate for assessing oral health information literacy of foreigners who are using oral hygiene medical services in Korea.
