Abstract

The property of pit and fissure sealant has been improved and many studies on the bond strength, penetration, microleakage have been published. But there are few studies on the using status and perception of pit and fissure sealant within the country. Therefore, this study made a survey on it. Pedodontists and non-pedodontists were surveyed by interview. The Results were as follows; 1. On caries prevention effect, 96.7% of the pedodontists replied that sealants were effective on both permanent teeth and primary teeth. On the other hand, 13.5% of the non-pedodontists replied that sealants weren't effective on both. 2. All of the pedodontists and 27% of the non-pedodontists used rubber dams. 83.3% of the pedodontists and 40.5% of the non-pedodontists used bonding agents. 3. Non-pedodontists used enameloplasty more frequently than Pedodontists but the pattern was not significantly different. 4. The causes of sealant failures included salivary contamination, caries under sealant, low strength, low flowability, overfilling. 5. In the pedodontists, 90% replied that PRR application was desirable and PRR applications were more frequent than sealant application.

치면열구전색제의 물성은 개선되어 왔고 결합강도, 침투도, 미세누출 등에 관련된 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 국내에서의 치면열구전색제 사용실태와 치과의사의 인식에 관한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 설문조사를 통하여 이를 알아보고자 하였다. 소아치과 전공 개원의와 비소아치과 개원의를 대상으로 직접 방문을 통해 조사를 시행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치면열구전색의 치아우식 예방효과에 대해 소아치과의에서는 영구치와 유치에 모두 효과가 있다는 응답이 96.7%로 높게 나타났고, 반면 비소아치과의에서는 모두에 효과가 없다고 생각하는 응답이 13.5%로 나타났다. 2. 치면열구전색 시 방습법으로 소아치과의의 100%, 비소아치과의의 27%가 러버댐을 사용하는 것으로 나타났고, bonding agent를 사용하는 비율은 소아치과의 83.3%, 비소아치과의 40.5%로 나타났다. 3. 법랑질 성형술의 시행비율은 비소아치과의에서 약간 더 높게 나타났고, 시행방법에서는 두 군 간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 4. 치면열구전색 실패의 원인으로는 부적절한 방습으로 인한 오염이 가장 높게 나타났고 다음으로 우식 상방에 도포, 낮은 강도, 낮은 흐름성, 과충전 순으로 나타났다. 5. 소아치과의의 경우 예방적 레진수복을 바람직하게 생각하는 비율이 90%로 높았고, 치면열구전색보다 예방적 레진수복을 하는 비율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.
