Abstract

Dens evaginatus is a tooth with cylindrical enamel projection which forms a nodule on occlusal surface. It could be explained as outward overgrowth of inner enamel epithelium or localized hyperplasia of pulpal mesenchymal tissue during tooth development. A problem is that it is likely to be worn out or fractured by mastication ensuing pulpal inflammation. It is occasionally found on the lingual surface of upper anterior teeth as well, called talon cusp. Dens invaginatus is a tooth with deep lingual pit made by invagination of lingual enamel epithelium during tooth development while it is considered normal in terms of size and shape. Radiographically, a part of cervical enamel shows inward growth forming cavity and it is reasonable to say that the base is possibly open to pulpal cavity since they are very close. Talon cusp and dens invaginatus are relatively common abnormality of shape. However it becomes the opposite if the two exist in the same tooth. Once the talon cusp is broken by occlusal force or fissure between cusps is decayed, the complicated structure of canals makes the pulpal treatment difficult. Preventive treatments such as occlusal equilibrium and sealant, and regular oral examination should be preceded and thorough understanding of canal shape, using radiography, is required when pulpal treatment is necessary. This report is about a 9- year-old boy(lower left central incisor), a 8-year-old girl(upper right central incisor), and a 7-year-old boy(upper right central incisor), who have dens invaginatus and talon cusp in the same teeth. The first and the second patients are under pulpal treatments, and the last one is being observed showing no pathologic impressions.

치외치는 교합면에 법랑질이 원추형으로 돌출되어 결절을 형성한 치아로서, 치아발육 중 법랑기의 내측법랑상피가 외부로 과증식되거나 치수 간엽조직이 국소적으로 과증식되어 나타난다. 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절 또는 마모되기 쉬우며 따라서 이로 인하여 치수노출에 의한 감염이 야기될 수 있다. 상악 전치부 설면에도 원추형으로 돌출된 결절이 관찰되기도 하는데 이를 탈론 교두(talon cusp)라 한다. 치내치는 치아 발육 중 설측의 법랑상피가 일부 함입되어 설측에 깊은 소와가 형성된 형태로서 크기나 전체적인 모양은 정상이다. 방사선 사진상에서 치경부의 법랑질 일부가 함입되어 함입강을 형성하고 그 기저부는 치수에 가까이 위치하고 있어 치수와 개통되어 있을 가능성도 있다. 탈론 교두(talon cusp)와 치내치는 비교적 흔한 형태 이상이지만, 한 치아에 동시에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 이러한 환자에서 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 교합력이나 저작에 의해 파절되거나, 교두 사이 열구가 우식에 이환되어 치수치료가 시행 될 때, 치내치의 복잡한 근관 형태로 인해 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 교합조정, 치면열구전색술 등의 예방적 처치와 주기적인 검진이 필요하고, 치수치료시 정확한 방사선학적 진단을 통한 치내치의 근관 형태 파악이 필요하다. 조선대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원한 10세 남아(하악 좌측 중절치)와 8세 여아(상악 우측 중절치) 그리고 7세 남아(상악 우측 중절치)에서 치내치를 동반한 탈론 교두(talon cusp)가 관찰되어 본 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 9세 남아와 8세 여아는 치수 병변으로 인해 치수 치료 중이고, 7세 남아는 병적 소견 없이 교합조정 후 관찰 중이다.
