초록

소아치과 임상에서는 제2유구치의 탈락 직후에 제1대구치 근심면을 직접 관찰하고 여기에 발생한 백반양 초기 우식병소를 목격할 기회가 많다. 유구치와는 달리, 잔존 기대수명이 매우 긴 제1대구치의 경우에는 근심면 초기 우식병소에 대하여 와동형성에 이은 전통적인 수복치료를 하거나 아무런 조치 없이 방관하는 것은 부적절할 것으로 사료되어, 본 연구는 이 시기 어린이들에 있어서 제1대구치 근심면 초기 우식의 유병률을 조사하고 이에 적합한 조치를 모색할 목적으로 시도되었다. 본 연구는 6개월간 부산대학교병원 소아치과에 내원한 어린이 중 제2유구치를 발거하여 제1대구치의 근심면을 직접 관찰할 수 있었던 어린이들의 124개 제1대구치를 대상으로, 근심면 백반양 초기 우식병소의 유병률을 조사하였다. 그리고 그 진행을 차단하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 평활면 초기 우식병소를 가진 치아 시편에 복합레진 접착제만 도포하거나 접착제에 이어 전색제를 도포하고 온도순환과 염색을 시행한 후, 단면을 통하여 미세누출 여부를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 124개 관찰대상 치아 중 제1대구치 근심면이 건전한 경우는 34%에 불과하였으며, 백반양 초기 우식병소를 가진 것은 53%, 이미 우식와동이 확인된 것은 13%였다. 2. 접착제나 접착제와 전색제를 도포한 시료의 단면 관찰에서는 두군 모두에서 20% 정도의 미세 누출을 보였다. 결론적으로, 어린이 제1대구치 근심면의 초기 우식은 매우 높은 유병률을 보여 이에 대한 보다 적극적인 대처와 효율적인 비침습적 접근방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 생각되었다.

In clinical pediatric dentistry, we have many chances to encounter the white spot like incipient enamel lesions on the mesial surfaces of the 1st molars with direct vision, especially just after the 2nd primary molars were exfoliated. But it was thought highly desirable to assess if these lesions are properly and effectively managed yet. This study aims at surveying the prevalence of incipient lesions on the mesial surfaces of the 1st molars in children through direct observation and examining the suitability of adhesive sealing on them as a pilot trial in searching for their proper management. 1. Among the 124 mesial surfaces of the 1st molars examined, 34% were sound, 53% had incipient carious lesions and 13% had cavitated lesions. 2. In the sectional views of the specimens, 20% showed microleakage after thermo-cycling and it was thought not recommendable as a permanent method. Therefore in order to effectively fight against the incipient caries lesions in children‘s permanent teeth, it was thought proper not to rely on any one method, but to perform reinforcing oral hygiene and promotion of remineralization in combination with therapeutic sealing which is stronger in short-term sealing effect. Although therapeutic sealing has been considered as the core in minimally invasive concept to treat the white spot lesions, its long-term clinical trials have not been suggested. Continuous research is strongly required for making this approach to acquire permanent nature, especially in regards of proper pretreatment and high molecular materials deeply penetrable into enamel.
