초록

아동학대는 어린이의 정상적이고 건강한 발달을 방해하고, 여러 가지 후유증과 문제행동의 원인이 되는 경우가 많다. 특히, 발육중인 어린이에 대한 신체적, 정서적학대나 방임 또는 성학대로 인한 후유증은 어린이가 성장한 이후까지도 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 신체학대로 인한 손상의 형태는 다양하나, 일부는 공통점이 있다. 상당수가 안면이나 구강 및 치아에서 외상의 형태로 나타나므로 치과검진 과정에서 발견할 수 있다. 학대아동의 경우, 구강악안면을 포함한 두경부와 함께 구강주위에 손상의 빈도가 높으므로 치과검진을 통해 학대의 증거를 찾아내는 것이 중요하다. 소아치과의사가 전문인으로서 아동학대를 조기에 발견하고 예방을 위해 노력하는 것은 법적, 사회적 책무이다. 이 연구는 소아치과에서 진료에 참여하는 모든 사람이 아동학대와 관련한 임상증상을 찾아내고 대처하기 위한 방법에 대하여 고찰했다.

Child abuse often interferes with the normal and healthy development of a child, bringing about various complications and problematic behaviors. Furthermore, such physical, mental abuse or neglect, and sexual abuse on a developing child may have serious effects even until after adolescence. The types of injuries caused by physical abuse vary, but some types of injuries are common. A great number of them can be detected during a routine dental examination because many of these injuries are present in the facial and dental region. Accordingly, in the case of abused children, it is important to find the signs of abuse through regular dental checkups, as many suffer injuries to the face, head and neck area including the oral and perioral area. As a pediatric dentist, it is the legal and social obligation to contribute to preventing and assisting the struggle against child abuse. The authors contemplate ways for all pediatric dental related personnel to find some clinical signs and symptoms of child abuse to help early detection, and to manage the situation properly.
