Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the probing force used by public health dentists in Korea.
Methods: The subjects are public health dentists who participated in the Training Course of Oral Examiner for Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2010 and the former part of 2011. The number of subjects in the 2010 survey was 28 and was 22 in the survey in the former part of 2011, with a total of 48 public health dentists. The materials for measuring probing force are an electronic scale, a dentifrom and a CPI probe. The measurements were performed over 4 days, 2 times per day. The total number of measurements was 7. The statistics method is a repeated measurement analysis of the variance of the change of probing force and the Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed to determine the significant difference between the group without a finger rest and the group with a finger rest.
Results: The probing forces are becoming more accurate by repeated training in both the group without the finger rest and the group with the finger rest (p＜0.001). The probing forces according to the number of repeated training times between the group without the finger rest and the group with the finger rest are not significantly different (p＜0.05) except for the baseline (p=0.023).
Conclusions: Three training courses are required to reach the correct level of probing force. These results suggest that repeated training for probing force is better than single-shot training.
