Abstract

Cerebral palsy is one of the primary handicapping conditions of childhood. The prevalence of malocclusions in patients with cerebral palsy is approximately twice than in general population. Even though these high rates of malocclusions, most clinicians may feel uncomfortable about treating such problems to reduce inclination of anterior teeth because to reduce of protrusion makes to decrease risk of trauma. This is the case report about mitigation of maxillary anterior teeth protrusion in patient with cerebral palsy. A 14 year old boy who had cerebral palsy visited our dental hospital. He had severe protrusive maxillary anterior teeth and narrow arch form. He was experienced at using Castillo morales appliance in early childhood. He had mild mental retardation and was able to learn simple skills. He and his parents had willing to improve his dental problems. A gentle impression taking on maxilla was done. Removable appliance was made including median screw and labial bow. We provide a period of adaption for 3 weeks. After of anterior teeth through activation of labial bow was done once a month by dentist. The treatment carried out for 10 months and we could observe reduced labial inclination of maxillary right central incisor and more wide arch form. Hawley type retainer was set at maxilla for retention. In conclusion, accompanying careful case selection and treatment, patient with cerebral palsy can be treated and should not be ignored their orthodontic needs.

14세 남환이 정기검진을 위해 내원하여 임상 구강검사 결과 상악 전치의 돌출과 상악궁 협착이 관찰되었다. 환아는 뇌성마비를 가지고 있었으나 간단한 설명을 이해하고 쉬운 지시를 수행할 수 있었으므로 가철성 장치를 이용한 교정치료를 시도하였다. 단계적이고 주의 깊은 접근을 통해 상악궁 협착 해소 및 상악 전치의 돌출을 완화할 수 있었다. 뇌성마비 환아의 경우 특징적으로 상악 전치의 돌출이 흔히 나타나는데, 이는외상의 위험에 쉽게 노출된다. 하지만 뇌성마비 환아에서 나타나는 특징적인 반사, 침 흘리기 습관, 행동조절의 어려움 등을 이유로 많은 임상의들이 교정 치료를 포기하게 된다. 적절한 환자 선정과 수행 가능한 치료목표를 세운다면, 뇌성마비 환아에서도 단계적이고 반복적인 행동조절과 약물을 이용하여 치료가 가능하다. 교정 치료를 통해 얻어진 상악 전치의 돌출 완화는 외상의 위험성을 줄이고 더 나은 심미성을 제공하는 긍정적인 효과를 가져오게 된다. 따라서 임상의들은 뇌성마비 환아의 치료에 대한 인식 변화 및 개선을 위한 적극적인 노력이 필요할 것이며, 뇌성마비 환아들은 더 나은 구강 건강을 영위할 수 있을 것이다.
