Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relation between factors related to the clinical performance competency of dental hygiene students and their clinical learning environment. Methods: The study conducted a survey of dental hygiene students from October 18 to 30, 2023. The data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance, t-test, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The total practicum lasted ≤10 weeks, 11-15 weeks, and ≥16 weeks for 41.7%, 33.5%, and 24.8% of the students, respectively. Half of them had experience at only one clinical institution. Clinical learning environment had an average score of 3.46 points, whereas the average clinical performance competency of the participants was 3.60 points. The major influencing factors on clinical performance competency were identified as preceptor’ s guidance (β=0.277), work participation opportunities (β=0.213), and perceived importance of clinical practice (β=0.136). Conclusions: Efforts are required to provide students with prior education on the importance of clinical practice, improve the clinical learning environment with a focus on preceptor’s guidance and work participation opportunities. And standardize various elements to resolve differences in the practice of clinical institutions across regions.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the factors influencing the positive psychological capital, growth mindset, and self-leadership of dental hygienists in the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions with regard to their retention intention. The findings would serve as basic data for improving the retention intention. Methods: The methods espoused for analysis comprised independent sample t-test and ANOVA for group comparisons, Pearson’s correlation analysis for examining the correlation between variables, and multiple regression analysis for identifying factors affecting retention intention. Results: Positive psychological capital was higher among those under the age of 27 and employed in dental clinics. Growth mindset was higher among those with less than three years of work experience and those working in clinics. Self-leadership was higher among those aged 28–31, and retention intention was higher among those under the age of 27 and with less than three years of work experience (p<0.05). A correlation was observed between positive psychological capital and self-leadership (r=0.760), self-leadership and retention intention (r=0.514), positive psychological capital and retention intention (r=0.505), positive psychological capital and growth mindset (r=0.337), and growth mindset and self-leadership (r=0.245) (p<0.001). Factors influencing the intention to stay at work were selfleadership (β=0.309) and positive psychological capital (β=0.242) (p<0.05). Conclusions: In order to improve dental hygienists' retention intention, it is necessary to devise strategies for improving positive psychological capital and self-leadership.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the form, reliability, and quality of information related to periodontal diseases shared on YouTube. Methods: On october 23, 2023, we conducted searches on YouTube using four keywords related to periodontal diseases. The searches retrieved a total of 394 videos from the first five pages for each keyword. Of these, 151 were included in the analysis. Videos were categorized based on the source and usefulness of the information, and their reliability and quality were assessed. Results: Analysis of the information sources revealed that medical websites or TV channels (45.7%) were the most prevalent, whereas commercial websites (2.0%) were the least prevalent. Videos uploaded by physician or hospitals (3.08±0.48) and medical websites or TV channels (3.01±0.94) demonstrated higher reliability. Videos categorized as having good and excellent quality were predominantly from physician or hospital sources (88.2%). Useful information related to periodontal diseases was available in 85.4% of videos, with physician or hospital sources contributing the highest proportion of useful information (52.7%). Conclusions: Videos from physician or hospital sources provide high-quality useful and reliable information. To ensure the provision of more useful and accurate information, the involvement and interest of experts are deemed essential.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the essential services, importance, interval of examinations, and role of dental hygienists in children’s family dentistry program. Methods: A total of 124 participants completed a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, and ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: All participants stated that oral examination and panoramic radiography are required; children should be educated about brushing, use of oral products, and regular check-ups; and preventive treatments such as molar sealants and prophylaxis should be offered. They stated that light-curing resins and glass ionomer fillings should be offered in treatment services. They stated that examination intervals should be shorter for education and prevention rather than treatment. Dental hygiene students were more likely than dentists and dental hygienists to say that the program was more important. There was a correlation between oral examinations and education and treatment, and between essential services and their importance. Conclusions: Services considered essential and important should be provided first, education and prevention should be provided more frequently than treatment, and their importance should be emphasized not only to dental hygiene students but also to dental hygienists and dentists who are the main providers of services.
研究目的本研究旨在调查儿童家庭牙科项目中的基本服务、重要性、检查间隔以及牙科保健员的作用。研究方法共有 124 名参与者填写了自填问卷。数据分析采用独立 t 检验、方差分析和皮尔逊相关分析。结果所有参与者都表示，必须进行口腔检查和全景放射摄影；应教育儿童刷牙、使用口腔产品和定期检查；应提供预防性治疗，如臼齿封闭和预防性治疗。他们指出，应在治疗服务中提供光固化树脂和玻璃离子填充物。他们指出，为了教育和预防而不是治疗，应缩短检查间隔时间。与牙医和牙科保健师相比，牙科卫生专业的学生更倾向于认为该项目更为重要。口腔检查与教育和治疗之间存在相关性，基本服务与其重要性之间也存在相关性。结论：被认为必要和重要的服务应首先提供，教育和预防应比治疗更频繁地提供，其重要性不仅应向牙科卫生专业学生强调，也应向作为服务主要提供者的牙科卫生师和牙科医生强调。

Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether adolescents with allergic rhinitis are at an increased risk of stomatitis and to ascertain possible sex-specific differences. Methods: The data for this cross-sectional study was obtained from the 18th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2022). Of the 56,213 students surveyed, 51,850 (boys 26,397 and girls 25,453) were included in the final analyses. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the impact of allergic rhinitis on the risk of stomatitis among Korean adolescents. Results: In Model II, which was adjusted for allergic disease, boys with allergic rhinitis had a 1.53-fold (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.40–1.67), and girls had a 1.35-fold (aOR=1.35, CI=1.25–1.46) elevated risk of stomatitis than in those without. In Model III, after adjusting for all covariates, boys with allergic rhinitis had a 1.48-fold (aOR=1.48, CI=1.36–1.62) elevated risk of stomatitis than in those without, and girls had a 1.32-fold (aOR=1.32, CI=1.22–1.43) elevated risk, which remained statistically significant after adjusting for covariates. Therefore, allergic rhinitis in adolescents exerts a detrimental effect on the risk of experiencing stomatitis symptoms; the risk was higher in boys than in girls. Conclusions: These findings suggest that oral health care attention and intervention are needed for adolescents with allergic rhinitis.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between hours of smartphone use and oral disease symptoms in Korean adolescents. Methods: In this study, data from the 2022 Youth Health Behavior Online Survey were used. The final analysis was conducted on students who responded that they have used a smartphone (N=50,375). Chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between oral disease symptoms and smartphone use time (p<0.05). Results: Consequent to examining the effect of smartphone use on oral disease symptoms, it was found that oral symptoms, such as pain during chewing and tingling throbbing, increased as smartphones were used for >4 h (p<0.05). Additionally, oral symptoms, such as gingivalgia bleeding and bad breath, appeared to increase as smartphones were used for >6 h (p<0.05). However, using smartphones for <0–2 h or 2–4 h had no effect on oral disease symptoms. Conclusions: In adolescents, oral disease symptoms increased significantly with increasing hours of smartphone use. Therefore, adolescents should be guided so that they use smartphones for <2 h or >4 h. Moreover, guidance on forming the habit of tooth brushing after eating food should be provided to prevent oral disease symptoms.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical properties and antibacterial activity of denture base resin with added silver sulfadiazine. Methods: Specimens were made from self-curing denture base resin and silver sulfadiazine as an inorganic antibacterial agent. For physical evaluation of the specimens, surface roughness, surface hardness, and contact angle were measured. Bacterial growth was assessed by optical densityat 600 nm (OD600) and colony forming units (CFU) measurements to confirm antibacterial activity. Results: There was no significant difference in surface roughness, surface hardness, and contact angle in the experimental group containing silver sulfadiazine compared to the control group. In contrast, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in antibacterial activity compared to the control group in terms of OD value. Analysis of CFU confirmed a significant decrease in colonies in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions: Denture base resin containing silver sulfadiazine, an inorganic antibacterial agent, exhibited enhanced antibacterial activity without physical changes. In conclusion, the use of denture base resin containing inorganic antibacterial agents may be expected in the future.
研究目的本研究旨在评估添加了磺胺嘧啶银的义齿基底树脂的物理性质和抗菌活性。方法： 采用自固化义齿基托树脂和磺胺嘧啶银制作试样：使用自固化义齿基托树脂和作为无机抗菌剂的磺胺嘧啶银制作试样。为了对试样进行物理评估，测量了表面粗糙度、表面硬度和接触角。细菌生长情况通过 600 纳米波长的光密度（OD600）和菌落形成单位（CFU）测量值进行评估，以确认抗菌活性。结果与对照组相比，含有磺胺嘧啶银的实验组在表面粗糙度、表面硬度和接触角方面没有明显差异。相反，就 OD 值而言，实验组的抗菌活性比对照组明显降低。对 CFU 的分析表明，与对照组相比，实验组的菌落数明显减少。结论含有无机抗菌剂磺胺嘧啶银的义齿基托树脂在不发生物理变化的情况下增强了抗菌活性。总之，含无机抗菌剂的义齿基托树脂有望在未来得到应用。
