현재 사용되고 있는 화학제재의 치면착색제는 착색제의 위해성 논란이 제기되며, 또한 의약외품으로 분류 됨에 따라 수급에 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 천연재료를 사용하여 치면착색제를 개발하고 그에 대한 사용감과 효능성에 대해 알아보고자 시행하였다. 천연착색제의 구성은 치자, 젠탄검, 스테비아, Food Blue No 1.등을 혼합하여 제조하였으며, 관능성 테스트를 시행한 후 한 가지를 선택하여 대상자에게 치면세마 전 착색 을 하여 효과성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 현재 사용되고 있는 치면착색제와 비슷한 효과를 나타냈으며, 향과 맛을 보완해야 한다는 점을 도출하였다. 향후 천연재료를 이용한 치면착색제의 개발에 도움이 되기를 바라며 천연착색 염료의 상용화에 있어 초안이 되기를 바란다.

The tooth colorant of chemical sanctions currently in use raises controversy over the risk of colorants, and it is also difficult to supply and demand as it is classified as a non-medical product. Therefore, in this paper, a dental colorant was developed using natural materials and implemented to find out the sense of use and efficacy thereof. The composition of the natural coloring agent was prepared by mixing gardenia seeds pigment, xanthangum, stevia, and food blue no.1, and after performing a functional test, one was selected and the effectiveness was compared by coloring the subject before prophylaxis. As a result, it showed a similar effect to the tooth coloring agent currently used, and it was derived that the aroma and taste should be supplemented. It is hoped that it will help the development of dental colorants using natural materials in the future, and that it will be a draft for the commercialization of natural coloring dyes.

Objectives: This study involved a non-equivalent control group, pre-test/post-test measurement experiment to evaluate the efficacy of distributing plaque disclosing agents to healthy adults living in South Korea and promoting its self-application. Methods: O'Leary index, PHP index, oral health behavior intention, and oral care satisfaction were used as research tools. A notice was posted on the bulletin board from September 12 to October 15, 2016, to recruit adults aged 20-50 years. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 22.0, and frequency analysis, Pearson's chi-squared, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, and repeated measures ANOVA were performed. Results: The O'Leary index was significantly reduced in the group (p<0.01), and time (p<0.01) after education and width of the decrease had the highest score in the group that received education on plaque disclosing only. They were followed by the group that received education on plaque disclosing and the rolling method, the group that received education on the rolling method alone, and the control group. The PHP index significantly decreased in the group(p<0.01) and time (p<0.01), and the group time (p=0.039) after education, and width of the decrease had the highest score in the group that received education on plaque disclosing and rolling method. They were followed by the group that received education on plaque disclosing alone, the group that received education on the rolling method alone, and the control group. Conclusions: Based on the aforementioned findings, the direct use of plaque disclosing had a marked effect on self-oral care. These results suggest that the self-application of plaque disclosing could be an effective self-care method for improving the oral environment.

This study was to evaluate the effects of oral health education conducted on air force personnel according to the use of disclosing solution. They were divided into 3 groups: Group A: oral health education was not conducted, Group B: oral health education was conducted without using disclosing solution, and Group C: oral health education was conducted using disclosing solution. The subjects who had not participated in the education at least once were excluded, and the remaining 83 subjects received oral health education four times and one time each week. The probing depth, plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding on probing were measured one week before the implementation of the first oral health education and one week after the implementation of the fourth oral health education. The results of verifying the homogeneity of the clinical indices before the oral health education showed statistically significant differences in bleeding on probing among the three groups. The results of comparing the clinical indices among the three groups after the oral health education exhibited statistically significant differences in the plaque and gingival indices among the three groups. Groups B and C showed lower values than Group A. The comparison of the clinical indices before and after the oral health education showed statistically significant improvements in all clinical indices after the education in Group C. The results suggested that the oral health education using disclosing solution could maximize that visual effects and encourage self-motivation, consequently improve the oral hygiene of the patients.
