Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there were any changes in taste sensitivity with oral lichen planus (OLP). Sixty subjects (26 males and 34 females) were included for the study and they were categorized into 2 groups (oral lichen planus 30 persons,control 30 persons), oral lichen planus group was investigated in the department of Oral Medicine, College of Dentistry, Pusan National University from April, 2005 to February, 2006 and control group was investigated in the clinic at Cheongju City from february, 2006 to april, 2006. The electrical taste thresholds were measured using an electrogustometer of the 4 different sites (tongue tip, tongue lateral, circumvallate papilla and soft palate) in oral cavity. The results were as follows; 1. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to decrease in the OLP group. 2. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to decrease in female group, but showed a tendency to increase in male group of the OLP group. 3. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to increase in tongue tip, tongue lateral of the multiple OLP group, but showed a tendency to decrease in circumvallate papilla, soft palate of the multiple OLP group. 4. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to increase in tongue tip, tongue lateral of the acute OLP group, but showed a tendency to decrease in circumvallate papilla, soft palate of the acute OLP group. 5. After treatment, electrical taste threshold was significant lower in soft palate of the OLP group than control group. 6. After treatment, NAS was significantly lower in soft palate of the OLP group than control group.

편평태선 환자의 미각기능과 치료에 따른 미각 기능의 변화를 알아보고자, 2005년 4월부터 2006년 2월까지 부산대학병원에 내원한 환자중에 구강검사를 통해 구강편평태선으로 진단되어진 환자를 실험군으로 선택하고, 2006년 2월에서 4월까지 충청북도 청주시 소재 00치과병원에 내원한 치과환자 중에 구강검사와 설문지를 사용하여, 미각에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 전신질환, 약물복용, 구강내 국소적 질환을 가지고 있지 않은 치과환자를 대조군으로 선택하여 전기미각역치를 측정한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 구강편평태선환자군에서 대조군에 비해 전기미각역치는 낮은 경향을 보였다. 2. 여성에서는 구강편평태선환자군에서 전기미각역치가 낮은 경향을 보였지만, 남성에서는 높은 경향을 보였다. 3. 구강편평태선환자군의 다수의 병소가 있는 경우에는 혀끝, 혀 측방 중앙부위에서 높은 경향을 보였지만, 유곽유두, 연구개 부위에서는 오히려 낮은 경향을 보였다. 4. 구강편평태선환자군의 만성도에 따른 비교에서는 급성환자에서 혀끝, 혀 측방중앙부위에서 만성에서는 유곽유두부위, 연구개 부위에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 5. 구강편평태선환자군의 치료에 따른 전기미각역치는 모든 부위에서 낮은 경향을 보였고, NAS도 유의하게 감소하였다.
