| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed that the self-evaluation of oral health status decreased during the Antarctic stay, and there was a trend toward worse oral health behaviors such as the tooth brushing and the use of dental floss, tongue cleaning, and self-checking habits of their mouth.
And, the construction of dental medical support and oral cavity management system in the remote place was tackled, and the dentist of each medical care department carried out the advice by using intraoral camera and videoconferencing system, and the system in which the doctor in Antarctica appropriately responded was constructed based on the advice.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
南極観測隊員の南極観測基地（昭和基地）滞在中の口腔保健状態や口腔保健行動の変化についても経時的に調査を行い、それに基づいて予防対策を実施し、隊員の口腔保健状態の向上に努めることが重要であることを示すことができた。今後、特殊閉鎖環境遠における口腔健康管理は、へき地や大規模災害時の歯科医療にも対応させることも期待出来る。
