Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine varnish treatment in the prevention of dental caries in orthodontic patients by observing microbial change in dental plaque after varnish treatment. The sample consisted of 26 patients who were classified into an experimental group and a control group, 13 patients each. The experimental group was treated with chlorhexidine varnish once a week for 4 weeks. The control group was treated with placebo varnish using the same procedure, The microbial change was analysed by indirect immunofluorescene technique before treatment and 4 weeks, 8 weeks after treatment. The results were as follows. 1. Streptococcus mutans were strongly suppressed until 8 weeks after chlorhexidine varnish treatment(p<0.01). 2 The proportion of Streptococcus sanguis increased temporarily 4 weeks after chlorhexidine varnish treatment(p<0.05), decreased to original level after 8 weeks. 3. Streptococcus mitts, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii did not show significant change after chlorhexidine varnish treatment.

본 연구는 교정환자를 대상으로 chlorhexidine varnish를 치면에 도포했을 때 치태내 균주의 변화양상을 관찰하여 교정치료환자에 있어 치아우식증예방을 위한 chlorhexidine 사용의 효용성을 평가하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 서울대학교 병원 치과진료부 교정과에 내원한 신환 26명을 대상으로 각 13명씩을 실험군과 대조군으로 구분하여 실험군에는 chlorhexidine varnish를 1주일 간격으로 4희 도포하고 대조군에는 같은 방법으로 placebo varnish를 도포하여 처치 전과 처치 4주후, 처치 8주후의 치태내 균주 변화양상을 간접면역형광현미경법으로 분석하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Chlorhexidine varnish 처치에 의해 Streptococcus mutans는 처치 8주후 까지 강력히 억제되었다(p<0.01). 2. Streptococcus sanguis는 chlorhexidine varnish처치 4주후에 일시적으로 증가하였다가(p<0.05) 8주후에 원상으로 회복되었다. 3. Streptococcus mitis, Actinomyces viscosus, Actinomyces naeslundii는 chlorhexidine varnish 처치에 의해 별 다른 변화를 나타내지 않았다.
