Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the results of a dental service program operated for foreign workers by a dental team in Gwangju.
Methods: Data was collected and analyzed from the dental charts of 312 foreign workers treated at a single dental center from September, 2005 to August, 2007. The general condition of the dental service program was also surveyed. Chi-square test was used for comparison among groups.
Results: Most patients were East Asian men 20∼39-years-of-age, likely due to the location of the health center in an industrial area and its treatment-only purpose. They received oral medicine treatment (50 patients, 53 cases), periodontal treatment (130 patients, 163 cases), operative and root canal treatment (228 patients, 422 cases), surgical treatment (87 patients, 99 cases), and prosthetic treatment (16 patients, 16 cases). No differences were evident in patients receiving oral medicine and surgical treatments in terms of gender, nationality, and age (p＞0.05). Significant difference were evident in patients receiving. operative and root canal treatments in terms of amalgam filling (nationality), zinc oxide eugenol filling (nationality and age) and glass ionomer filling (gender and age)(p＜0.05). Significant differences were evident in patients receiving periodontal treatment in terms of gender and nationality (p＜0.05).
Conclusions: In order to improve the dental service program for foreign workers, practitioners should be encouraged to establish relationships with dental association, have access to interpreters to ease language-related difficulties, focus on preventive treatments through available oral health education resources, and use prosthetic treatments. In addition, systemic government and private sector financial and infrastructure support would be fruitful to enable maximum provision of services and hiring of more practitioners.
