Abstract

Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the patient's occlusion and a cracked tooth by using T-scan occlusal analysis and a quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) technology. Materials and methods. This study was carried out on 51 patients having cracked teeth between January, 2019 and December, 2020. The tooth crack was determined with a Q-ray pen and QLF parameters (ΔFmax and ΔRmax) were obtained by a Q-ray software. T-scan tests were conducted to all subjects and then, the occlusal force and disclosing time were analyzed. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the occlusal force and disclosing time between cracked teeth groups and contra-lateral normal teeth groups (α = .05). Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare ΔFmax and ΔRmax according to the results of cold/bite tests (α = .05). A Spearman correlation analysis was run to determine the relationship between ΔFmax or ΔRmax and occlusal force or disclosing time (α=.05). Results. The mean occlusal force and disclosing time were significantly higher on cracked teeth than on normal teeth (P < .05). The ΔFmax or ΔRmax were not significantly different according to the results of cold/bite tests (P > .05). There was no correlation between ΔFmax or ΔRmax and occlusal force or disclosing time (P > .05). Conclusion. There was a significant relationship between occlusion and cracked tooth syndrome. QLF has the potential to be a valuable tool for the diagnosis of tooth crack in clinical practice.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 큐레이(Q-ray)와 티스캔(T-scan)을 사용하여 치아균열증후군(cracked tooth syndrome)과 교합 사이의 상관관계를 평가하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 2019년 3월 1일부터 2020년 12월 31일까지 아주대학교병원 치과진료센터 치과보철과에 내원한 환자 중 실험대상 포함기준을 만족하며 치아균열증후군으로 진단된 대구치(실험군)를 1개 이상 가지고 있으나 동일 악궁 반대측에는 정상 치아(대조군)를 가진 환자 51명을 대상으로 하였다. 실험군과 대조군 치아의 사진을 Q-ray pen을 이용해 촬영하여 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)을 측정하였고 T-scan 검사를 통해 실험군과 대조군 치아의 상대적 교합강도 및 편심위운동시 이개시간을 측정하였다. Mann-Whitney U test를 통해 실험군과 대조군 사이의 상대적 교합강도와 이개시간의 차이 및 균열치아의 냉검사와 온검사 결과에 따른 군들 간의 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)의 차이를 통계적으로 분석하였다 (α = .05). Spearman correlation analysis를 이용해 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)와 상대적 교합강도 및 이개시간 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: 균열치의 상대적 교합강도 및 이개시간은 정상치아에 비하여 통계적으로 유의하게 컸다 (P < .05). 균열치 중 냉검사와 온검사 결과에 따른 각 군들 간의 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P > .05). Spearman correlation analysis 결과, 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)와 상대적 교합강도 및 이개시간 간에는 유의미한 상관관계가 없었다 (P > .05). 결론: 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 상대적 교합강도와 이개시간 등의 교합 요소는 치아균열증후군의 발병과 연관이 있었다. Q-ray 검사를 통한 최대형광소실도(ΔFmax)와 최대적색형광도(ΔRmax)의 측정은 치아균열증후군의 진단에는 임상적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있지만, 임상증상과 정량적인 관계를 입증하지는 못하였다.
