Abstract

The spectrum of physically challenged patients who visit to a dental clinic for treatments are diverse: from ones of mild disabilities, who lead their lives in a similar way of ordinary people, to others who suffer from diseases that are difficult to be diagnosed, and need medical expertise due to systemic care or special techniques and instruments because of behavior management and difficulty of treatments. The patient in this case was 25-year-old autistic male patient who visited the clinic on account of overall treatment for multiple carious lesions. He could perform normal daily life to some degree under the care of a guardian. This case report describes predicaments of making a treatment plan resulted from lack of information about disabled patients, and difficulties of proceeding treatment procedures under general anesthesia. It is considered that sufficient consultation and history taking are needed before treatment for disabled patients.

장애인치과는 비장애인과 별차이 없는 경증 장애인에서부터 질환의 진단이 쉽지 않고 전신관리의 필요에 따른 의학적인 전문성이 요구되거나 행동조절 및 치료의 어려움으로 특수기술과 장비를 필요로 하는 장애인까지 다양하다. 본 증례는 자폐성 장애를 갖은 25세 남자 환자로 구강위생관리가 잘 되지 않아 다수의 우식으로 전반적인 치료를 위해 내원하였다. 장애인 환자에 대한 정보 부족으로 인한 치료 계획 수립의 어려움 및 전신마취 하에서 시술의 어려움을 경험하며 장애인 치과치료시 충분한 상담과 기왕력 파악 후 적절한 치료가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
