Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although oral health activities in the workplace tends to be neglected, there are many workers who suffer from oral health problems at the time of retirement. In this research, in order to promote oral health activities at the workplace, we investigated the workers' oral health problems and oral health behavoirs using web survey. Furthermore, in order to manage workers’ health effectively in the workplace, we examined some ways to improve the common risk factors between dental diseases and other lifestyle-related diseases (Common Risk Factor Approach). In addition, we created web-based learning materials on occupational (dental) health and considered the continuity and necessity of lifelong education on this subject.
