Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the validity of $Cariview^{(R)}$, a new colorimetric caries activity test, with $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria, a conventional bacterial culture method. In addition, this study assesses the correlation between the dental caries experience and activity between mothers and their children. 34 pairs of mothers and their children under the age of 6 years participated in this study with informed consent. After filling out a questionnaire and oral examination, the two caries activity tests above were performed on each subject. In the results, $Cariview^{(R)}$ scores were statistically significant with children's caries experience (r = 0.598, p < 0.01) and showed higher correlation than $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria scores. $Cariview^{(R)}$ scores showed statistically significant correlation with the number of decayed teeth in both mothers and children (p < 0.05). In both $Cariview^{(R)}$ and $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria tests, there was no statistically significant correlation between caries experience and caries activity (p > 0.05). $Cariview^{(R)}$ colorimetric test will be clinically useful for predicting future caries risk and establishing a preventative strategy in pediatric dentistry.

본 연구의 목적은 새로운 비색법인 $Cariview^{(R)}$를 이용한 우식 활성 검사의 타당성 및 모자간 우식 경험 및 활성의 상관성 평가를 하고 기존의 특정 세균 배양법인 $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria 검사와 비교 평가하는 것이다. 만 6세 미만 어린이 - 어머니 34쌍(총 68명)이 사전 동의 하에 연구에 참여하였다. 설문 조사 및 구강 검사 후 우식 활성 검사인 $Cariview^{(R)}$와 $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria 검사를 각각의 대상자에게 시행하였다. 실험 결과 $Cariview^{(R)}$ 점수는 어린이의 우식 경험 유치수(dft)와 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 나타냈고(r = 0.598, p < 0.01) 상관 정도는 $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria 점수보다 높았다. $Cariview^{(R)}$ 점수는 어머니와 어린이의 우식 치아수(DT, dt)와 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 나타냈다(p < 0.05). $Cariview^{(R)}$와 $CRT^{(R)}$ bacteria 검사 모두에서 모자간 우식 경험 및 우식 활성은 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 나타내지 않았다(p > 0.05). $Cariview^{(R)}$ 비색법은 어린이의 치아 우식 경험 및 현재의 치아 우식 상태를 적절히 반영하며 우식 위험도를 예측하고 예방 전략을 수립하는 데 임상적으로 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
