Oral Health and Dental Industry

Choong-Ho Choi

Chief Editor, Chonnam National University School of Dentistry

The topic of the Korean Academy of Preventive Dentistry and Oral Health Symposium 2016, held in Seoul on October

29 and 30, is “Oral Health and Dental Industry”. Until now, advances in oral health have largely been influenced by the

development of dental products and devices. Examples of such products and devices include oral hygiene products such

as toothbrushes and toothpastes for the removal of the Oral biofilm on the dental surface, remineralizing agents such as

fluoride that can induce remineralization of incipient dental caries, pit and fissure sealants, and diagnostic devices for the

early detection of dental caries.

Interest in the industrialization of healthcare has been increasing nationwide, and the development of dental products

and devices is attracting increasing attention as well. This upcoming symposium will provide an excellent opportunity to

examine the direction of the dental health industry.

The advancement of the oral and dental health industry requires diverse basic and clinical research on the quality, effi-

cacy, and safety of the dental care materials and products being developed. Naturally, researchers play a crucial role in the

dental health industry by reporting their research results on dental products and materials in peer-reviewed journals.

Considering the continuing growth of the dental health industry, the importance and necessity of dental research is

evident. It is our hope that this symposium will stimulate interest in research pertaining to the dental health industry and

promote active publication of quality data.

2016년 10월 29일과 30일에 서울에서 개최되는 대한예방치과·구강보건학회 종합학술대회의 주제는 ‘구강보건과 치과의료

산업’이다. 그동안 구강보건의 발전은 치면세균막을 제거하기 위한 칫솔과 치약을 비롯한 다양한 구강위생용품의 개발, 초기치

아우식증을 재광화시킬 수 있는 불소와 같은 재광화 물질의 개발, 치아 표면의 열구를 미리 차단하여 치아우식증을 예방할 수 있

도록 하는 재료의 개발, 초기우식증 진단장비의 개발 등 치과용품과 치과재료의 개발과 발전에 큰 영향을 받아왔다.

최근 국가적으로 의료의 산업화에 대한 관심이 커지고 있는 상황에서 이러한 치과용품 및 치과재료의 개발과 산업화에 대한

관심도 함께 증가하고 있다. 이번 학술대회는 이러한 상황에서 구강보건과 관련된 치과의료산업의 동향을 살펴볼 수 있는 좋은

기회를 제공할 것이다.

구강보건과 관련한 치과의료산업의 발전을 위해서는 개발되는 치과용품 및 치과재료에 대한 품질, 효과 및 안전성 등에 대한

다양한 기초 및 임상적 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 연구를 담당하는 연구자들의 역할은 치과의료산업에 있어 중요한 한 부분을 담

당하고 있다고 볼 수 있 으며 이러한 연구자들은 치과용품 및 치과재료와 관련된 많은 연구결과들을 학회지를 통해 보고하고 있

는 상황이다.

앞으로 국내에서 치과의료산업의 비중은 점점 더 확대될 것이고 더불어 이와 관련한 다양한 연구도 함께 활발하게 이루어질

필요가 있다. 이번 학술대회를 통해 많은 연구자들이 치과의료산업에 대해 더 많은 관심을 갖게 되기를 바라고 치과의료산업과

관련된 다양한 연구가 더 활성화되어 좋은 연구결과들이 본 학회지를 통해 많이 보고될 수 있기를 기대한다.
