Objectives: The purpose of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of the oral health behaviors between medical workers and non-medical workers. Methods: The study subject were 458 workers from 4 working places(non-medical workers 237, medical workers 221) and they were selected by a convenient sampling method. The data for this study was obtained by means of a self-administrated questionnaire. Results: The proportion of medical workers who thought that they have a high level of oral health knowledge was higher than that of the non-medical workers who thought the same. It was also found that medical workers had higher subjective concern about their oral health than did non-medical workers. Medical workers brushed their teeth as often as 3.62 times a day, which was more frequent than that of the non-medical workers, and the former showed a higher rate of practicing toothbrushing after each meal than did the latter. The proportion of medical workers who had ever undergone an oral examination was lower than that of the non-medical workers who did so, but the former showed higher satisfaction with the oral examination than did the latter. The proportion of medical workers who had ever been educated about oral health was higher than that of the non-medical workers, and the proportion of the former who revealed willingness to join in-house oral health education was higher than that of the latter. Conclusions: Medical workers have more favorable oral health behaviors than do non-medical workers, and we can suggest that the high ageessibility to oral health information was helpful to improve oral health. Therefore, we need to create an environment that is supportive of good oral health behavior in order for workers have better oral health.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to survey the arguments in approval of or opposed to the community water fluoridation program (the program) and the teachers` attitudes toward the implementation of the program. We also analyzed the factors that affect the attitudes of teachers. Methods: Questionnaire surveys were conducted on 470 teachers of elementary schools, middle schools and high schools located in various parts of Jeollabuk-do. Based on the surveyed data, the teachers` arguments in support of or opposed to the program and their attitudes toward the implementation of the program were summarized in frequencies and percentages (%). The factors related to the teachers` attitudes were analyzed by performing cross tabulation analyses and multiple logistic analyses. The indexes for the relations applied in the cross tabulation analyses were Cramer`s V values. Results: The percentage of the teachers who accurately knew the objectives of the program was 71.2% and they mostly obtained the information on the program from TV or radio (51.8%). Of their arguments in approval of or opposed to the project, the percentage of teachers who agreed with the opposing arguments was not over 50% in most cases and the percentage of teachers who agreed with the arguments in approval of the program was over 50% for all the four items. Of the arguments in opposition to the program, the percentage of teachers who agreed with the argument that the effects of natural materials and those of artificial materials on human bodies would be different was the highest at 62.2%. Of the arguments in approval of the program, the one with the highest percentage of agreement was the argument that the program was similar to vaccinations. Of the arguments in approval of or in opposed to the program, this argument was the most closely associated with attitudes toward the implementation of the program (Cramer`s V=0.440). Based on the result of the cross tabulation analyses of the attitudes toward the implementation of the program, the factor that was the most closely associated with the attitudes toward the implementation of the program was the type of access to the information on the program (Cramer`s V=0.393) followed by the state of knowledge of the program (Cramer`s V=0.296), the subjective level of knowledge about oral health (Cramer`s V=0.282) and the perception about the objectives of the program (Cramer`s V=0.255) in that order. The factors that affected all of the teachers` attitudes in approval of and in opposition to the implementation and reserved attitudes were the types of access to the information on the program and the perception of the importance of students` oral health. When the teachers accessed only information in approval of the program, the higher was the perception of the importance of students` oral heath, the higher was the possibility to support the project and the possibility of showing opposing or reserved attitudes was low. Conclusions: Although the teachers` attitudes toward the program were positive, public relations and education about the program should be reinforced in order to enhance the rate of teachers` support for the program.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the maxillofacial injuries of the elementary school children and analyzing the concerned factor. Methods: This study was cross-sectional survey consisted of self-administration questionnaires. All 2,100 parents of elementary school children in Jeonju city were selected using convenience sampling. The questionnaires included the maxillofacial injuries status of children, the perception of parents about maxillofacial injuries and sociodemographic features. Results: Data from this survey indicated an overall experience rate(23.0%) of maxillofacial injuries of elementary school children, and during the last 1 year experience rate(5.1%) of it. Falling down was the most common cause of injuries, and the contrary to our expectations, the majority of children`s injuries occurred by the side of `parents` and `family`. Concerning treatment at the first visit, `crown restorations` for crown fracture were highest in frequency, and `follow up check`, `endodontic procedures` were next in order. The 2.3% of students were school loss(absence or early leaving school) on account of maxillofacial injuries. The most part of injured children are `changeless` in character and/or life style, but some children are `a little change(15.3%)` and `excessively change(1.3%)`. It also showed that emergency treatment for injured children is poor and instruction of medical treatment is not generally known. Most parents agreed that mouth protector is necessary, and the legalization to wear it at sport activity is important(91.9%). Boys experienced more maxillofacial injury than girls(odds ratio 1.68). The elementary students whose parents are uninjured showed lower probability of maxillofacial injuries than the students whose parents are injured. Compare to students in high income group, students in medium or low income groups were more likely to have dental injury. Conclusion: The maxillofacial injuries of elementary school children is a important factor that degenerate the quality of the oral health, cause school loss, and bring about the change of life style.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine oral health literacy (OHL) in mothers and the factors that influence it. Methods: A total of 431 mothers of preschool children were chosen as study participants using the convenience sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this study. The survey contents included the socioeconomic characteristics of the participants as well as their level of oral health literacy. Results: In total, 44.8 percent of the participants had a low level of verbal oral health literacy (0-6 grade), and 16.9 percent had a low functional oral health literacy (≤6). Educational level and family income were significantly associated with the participants’ oral health literacy (Pearson correlation). Verbal oral health literacy of the participants was related to their family’s income, whereas their functional oral health literacy was related to their educational level. Conclusions: Many of the participants had a low level of oral health literacy. For mothers, to improve their oral health literacy, an oral health literacy program must be in place. Oral health literacy programs should be targeted toward mothers with low socioeconomic status.
