Background/Objectives: The aim of this paper is to provide basic data for preparing measures to improve the level of behavior for the dental radiation workers’ safety management on the radiation usage.
Method/Statistical Analysis:The survey was conducted over a 15-day period from October 30, 2018 to November 13, 2018. A total of 300 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, of which 237 were collected, except 63, which were incompletely prepared. The questionnaire used for this study was modified and supplemented with reference to Park’s questionnaire. The questionnaires used in the survey consisted total of 27 questions which were 5 general characteristics questions, 8 items related to radiation exposure knowledge.
Findings: The highest level of radiation exposure anxiety was 41 (65.1%) out of 123 health related students said ‘do not fear’, where 56 (58.9%) out of 114 non-health related students said ‘normal’ so that non-health related students had higher anxiety on radiation exposure and there was a significant difference. The questionnaire on radiation safety management was the highest among the total 123 health related students, with 71 (57.7%) said ‘do not have it’, 30 (24.4%) said ‘do not know well’, 22 (17.9%) said ‘have it’. Among the 115 non-health related students, the highest was 57 (49.6%) with ‘do not have it’, 53 (46.1%) with ‘do not know well’, 5 (4.3%) with ‘have it’ so that safety management was not well managed in dental hospitals and there was a significant difference.
Improvements/Applications: Therefore, radiation workers need education and the importance of education related to radiation defense.

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the use of mobile phone is related to the pain of the jaw joints.
Method/Statistical Analysis:This study was designed as a cross-sectional survey. The purpose of this study was to explain the research objectives of 304 university students in Busan and the data was collected using the convenience sampling method. Of the total 304 subjects, 300 were included from the questionnaire, except for four who were inappropriate to use the data.
Findings: The general characteristics of the subjects were 227 females (75.7%) and 73 males (24.3%) among the 300 respondents. In the index of pain of the joint with the average number of calls per day, 44 people (14.7%) for less than 1 time, 36 people (12%) for 1 to 2 times, 100 (33.3%) for 3 to 4 times, 106 (35.3%) for 4 to 5 times, 14 people (4.7%) for more than 5 times, and analyzed the pain index according to the average number of calls per day showed a significant difference in pain index for ‘hard food’ (p = 0.019) and ‘discomfort during closing’ (p = 0.037). Jaw joint pain index was significantly different between male and female, 4.62 points and 4.35 points, respectively (p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference from other joint pain symptoms.
Improvements/Applications: It was difficult to generalize the results to all university students because the study was limited to university students in some universities in Busan area. In addition, it is necessary to consider other factors of pain in the joint, and further study on cell phone and joint pain through the diversification of the sample area and the increase in the number of samples is considered. However, it is hoped that it can contribute as a basic data for more systematic epidemiological studies for all citizens in the future.
