Abstract

The treatment pattern of pediatric dentistry has been changing recently, because of so many socioeconomic changes such as decrease of birth rates and prevalence of caries. The purpose of this study is to recognize the changing patterns in pediatric dental treatment and to help predict future direction for pediatric dentistry. Patients distribution and treatment pattern were examined in all new patients of the department of pediatric dentistry, Chosun University Dental Hospital and two pediatric local clinics in Gwang-ju, from 2005 to 2010. The number of new patients in recent 5 years has been increasing. There was a higher ratio of male patients. Age distribution has shown the percentage of 3~4 age group was highest. The hospital visit rate to Chosun University Dental Hospital was high, whereas the visit rate for local clinics was low. Dental caries showed the highest percentage in chief complaints, oral examinations have increased. The percentage of restoration treatment was highest, fluoride treatment had increased. In restorative treatment, the percentage of resin and GIC restoration was highest and amalgam restoration has decreased. The percentage of sedation treatment was decreased a little, Chosun University Dental Hospital showed a higher rate than local clinics.

최근 사회 경제적인 변화로 소아치과의 진료 양상도 변화하고 있다. 이런 변화 양상을 파악하여 미래에 소아치과가 나아갈 방향성을 제시하고자 본 조사를 실시하였다. 2005년부터 2010년까지 조선대학교 소아치과와 광주의 소아전문 개인치과의원 두 곳에 내원한 모든 신환을 대상으로 조사하였다. 신환의 수는 꾸준한 증가 추세를 보였고, 이 중 남아의 비율이 더 높았으며, 연령별 분포에서는 3~4세군의 내원율이 가장 높았다. 조선대학교 소아치과의 경우 방학 중 내원율이 높았으나, 소아전문 개인 치과의원은 특정 기간과 상관관계가 없었다. 주소 분포에서는 충치가 가장 높은 비율을 보였으며, 예방 및 검진을 위한 내원율의 증가와 함께 불소도포가 증가하였다. 치료 중에서는 수복치료의 비율이 가장 높았으며, 이 중 레진과 글라스아이오노머의 수복이 가장 많았고, 아말감 수복은 감소하였다. 진정치료의 비율은 약간 감소하였고, 소아전문 개인치과의원과 비교해 조선대학교 소아치과에서 더 높은 비율을 보였다.
