Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin type A on masseter muscle atrophy and the extent of masseter muscle affected from the injection site in relation to injection dose, with and without occlusal splint therapy through computed tomographic measurement. 32 volunteers were divided into four groups - group 25U (injection dose of 25 unit), group 25Us (injection dose of 25 unit with occlusal splint), group 35U (injection dose of 35 unit), group 35Us (injection dose of 35 unit with occlusal splint). Each group consisted of 8 people. 3 positions (position 1, 2, 3 - 10mm, 20mm and 40mm from the inferior border of the mandible, respectively) were selected for the evaluation of the masseter muscle change. The following results were obtained. 1. The thickness and the cross-sectional area of the masseter muscle had reduced in all groups except for the right side thickness at position 3 of group 25U and group 25Us, and the right side thickness as well as the left side cross-sectional area at position 3 of group 35Us. In group 35Us, the thickness and the cross-sectional area of the masseter muscle had reduced significantly in all positions (P < 0.05). 2. There was no significant difference in the masseter muscle change between the injection dose of 25unit and that of 35unit. 3. The groups with occlusal splint showed greater reduction of the masseter muscle thickness than the other groups (P < 0.05). From the above results, botulinum toxin type A injection together with occlusal splint therapy in the treatment of masseter muscle hypertrophy would be clinically effective.

본 연구의 목적은 교근에 보툴리눔 A형 독소주사량에 따른 교근위축 효과의 차이와, 교합안정장치의 동반치료시 교근위축의 증감의 관련성이 있는지, 부가적으로 주사부위로부터 어느정도 부위까지 근육위축의 효과가 나타날 수 있는지 전산화 단층촬영을 이용하여 평가하는데 있다. 자원자 32명을 8명씩 25 U, 25 U와 교합안정장치 장착, 35 U, 35 U와 교합안정장치 장착 군으로 나누어 보툴리눔 A형 독소주사량 차이와 교합안정장치 동반시의 교근위축효과 차이를 전산화 단층촬영을 이용하여 1, 2, 3 position의 3부위에서 측정, 평가한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 25 U 군에서 3 position 우측 두께감소, 25 U와 교합안정장치 군에서 3 position 우측 두께감소, 35 U 군에서 3 position 우측 두께감소와 좌측 면적감소를 제외하고 모든 부위에서 근육위축효과가 나타났으며 35 U와 교합안정장치 군에서는 모든 부위에서 근육위축효과가 유의성 있게 나타났다. (P < 0.05) 2. 보툴리눔 독소주사량 차이(25 U와 35 U)에 따른 근육 두께와 면적의 감소효과 차이는 나타나지 않았다. (P > 0.05) 3. 교합안정장치를 장착했을 때 근육두께 감소효과가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. (P <0.05) 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 교근비대 치료에 있어서, 보툴리눔 독소주사 이용시 교합안정장치의 동반치료가 보다 높은 근육위축 효과를 보이기에 이를 임상적으로 적용할 가치가 높다고 사료된다.
