Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the wireless pH telemetry lasting longer than 24 hours in the mouth to overcome the limits of conventional wire telemetry previously used for salivary and plaque pH measurement, and to assess its effectiveness. We developed a wireless pH telemeter which can measure and store the pH profile data during more than 24 hours. It was composed of intraoral part; pH sensor of antimony electrode, battery and microprocessor for data storage, and extraoral part; control/data receiver and data analyzing software which was newly made for this device. After inspecting wireless electrode for accurate measurement, it was attached to the removable intraoral appliance and delivered to the volunteer who was told to wear except brushing time, retrieved after 24 hours and finally the pH profile data was extracted and analyzed. When compared with conventional wire telemetry, this device showed similar results and induced less discomfort to examinees. The data showed pH changes at same time when examinees ate various scheduled foods and beverages. With this method it became possible to accurately measure pH changes within mouth for long time in accordance with individual's lifestyle, definitely reducing the discomfort inflicted to the examinees' life.

치아 우식증과 침식증의 진단과 예방에 있어 구강 내 환경, 특히 산도를 정밀하게 평가하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 본 연구는 구강 내의 산도측정을 위한 기존 방법들의 단점을 보완하고자 구강 내 무선 pH 원격측정 방법을 개발하고, 실제로 측정시의 효율성을 얻기 위해 시행되었다. 구강 외로 부착되는 부가적인 장치 없이 구강 내에만 장착하여 24시간 이상 수소이온농도지수(이하 pH)를 측정할 수 있는 무선 원격측정장치를 개발하고, 정확한 산도의 측정이 가능한지를 검증하였다. 그리고 이 장치를 실제 구강 내에 장착하여 피검자로 하여금 24시간 동안의 시간별 상세한 섭식과 활동 내용, 수면 상태를 기록하도록 하고 24시간 후 구강으로부터 수거하여 지난 24시간 동안의 pH의 변화를 획득하고 분석하였다. 그 결과, 구강 내 장치와 구강 외 장치로 이루어진 구강 내 무선 pH 원격측정방법의 개발에 성공하였으며 24시간 동안 피검자의 구강 내 pH 변화를 측정한 결과, 피검자가 실제 섭취하였던 시간과 음식 종류에 일치하게 측정치를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 장시간 무선 pH 원격측정방법을 이용하여 구강 내 pH를 측정할 수 있게 됨으로써, 기존의 유선 pH 원격측정방법이 가진 한계점을 극복할 수 있게 되어 구강 내 환경이나 우식학과 관련된 보다 광범위한 연구가 가능하게 될 것이다.
