Abstract

This experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate(Aloclair$^{TM}$) in decreasing pain in orthodontic procedures. A total of 60 patients who were use Aloclair$^{TM}$ ordered to were included. These patients were categorized by 3 cases; 1. Patients who were bonded with their first brackets. 2. Patients who were in pain with additional appliance such as anchorage devices. 3. Patients who got ulcer caused by appliances. We collected information about pain and assessed it using visual analogue scale. According to questionnaire, it took 3.5 min. for pain to subside and pair relief durated for 2.7 hours. Most patients in the study reported rapid pain relief and found Aloclair$^{TM}$ easy and pleasant to use than wax. Accordingly Aloclair$^{TM}$ provided raid relief of resting and provoked ulcer pain.

본 연구는 교정장치에 의해 자극되어 나타나는 구강내 통증을 감소시키는 Polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate의 효과를 평가해보기 위해 시행되었다. 100명의 환자에게 Aloclair$^{TM}$를 용법에 맞게 사용하도록 지시하였고 총 3개의 군으로 나누어 통증과 불편감을 조사하였다. 각 설문지에서 1.신환으로 bracket bonding을 처음 한 경우로 교정용 왁스 사용과 비교하여 조사한 군, 2.부가적인 장치 (미니스크류, 제 2 대구치 장치 부착 등)를 장착한 경우, 3.교정장치로 인해 구강내 궤양이 생겨 내원한 경우로 사용 전, 후의 통증과 불편감을 비교하였다. Aloclair$^{TM}$사용 후 통증이 줄어들기 시작한 시간은 평균 3.5분 후이며 효과 지속시간은 평균 2.7시간이었다. 모든 군에서 Aloclair$^{TM}$를 사용한 직후부터 시간에 따라 통증 정도가 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 1군에서 Aloclair$^{TM}$가 교정용 왁스에 비해 평균 통증의 정도가 높게 나왔지만 Aloclair$^{TM}$역시 시간에 따라 통증이 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 3군의 경우 이미 궤양이 존재하는 환자이기 때문에 Aloclair$^{TM}$에 대한 만족도가 더 높았고 통증도 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 결론적으로 Aloclair$^{TM}$는 적용하기도 비교적 쉽고 구내 궤양에 대한 통증완화에 효과적이어서 교정치료 중인 환자들에게 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
