Abstract

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare and nonhereditary dental malformation. It is a dental alteration of unknown etiology, involving both mesodermal and ectodermal dental components, which is characterized by clinical, radiographic, and histologic features. The maxilla is more often involved than the mandible (especially the left side), and there is no racial predilection, but females are affected twice as often as males. The affected teeth are clinically hypoplastic and hypocalcified, presenting a "ghost-like" appearance radiographically. The present case features a male patient aged 4 years and 6 months who was diagnosed with regional odontodysplasia in the maxilla on the right side, confirmed by clinical and radiographic examination, with a follow up of 5 years. Since teeth affected by RO have a poor prognosis due to the fragile tooth surface and open apices, the long-term treatment strategy depends on periodic clinical and radiological observations.

국소적 치아이형성증(Regional Odontodysplasia)은 드물게 발생하는 발육성 장애로, 이환된 치아는 임상적, 방사선학적, 조직학적으로 특징적인 소견을 보인다. 국소적 치아이형성증은 유치열과 영구치열에 모두 영향을 미치며, 임상적으로 정상치아보다 크기가 작거나, 거칠고 불규칙한 치면을 가지는 등 형성부전, 석회화부전의 양상을 보인다. 방사선학적으로는 법랑질과 상아질이 얇고, 경계가 뚜렷하지 않아 방사선불투과성이 명확하지 않으며, "ghost-like appearance"와 같은 특징적인 소견을 보인다. 조직학적으로는 저석회화된 법랑질이 보이며, 법랑소주가 불규칙한 방향을 나타내고, 상아세관의 수가 감소되어 있다. 국소적 치아이형성증의 원인은 정확히 밝혀지지 않았으며, 상악 좌측에서 호발하고, 인종간의 유병률 차이는 존재하지 않으며, 남성에 비해 여성에서 더 호발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 증례는 4세 6개월의 환아에서 임상적, 방사선학적 검사 결과 상악 우측 악궁에 발생한 국소적 치아이형성증으로 진단하고, 5년간의 주기적인 관찰을 시행하였다. 국소적 치아이형성증에 이환된 치아는 취약한 치면과 미성숙한 치근 때문에 예후가 불량할 수 있으므로 개개치아에 대한 주의깊은 임상적, 방사선학적 관찰을 통한 시기적절한 치료계획 수립이 중요할 것이다.
