구강질병의 합리적인 관리는 질병의 원인규명을 바탕으로 예방과 치료가 이루어 져야 한다. 구강의 발생학적, 생리학적인 복합성 때문에, 구강질병에 대한 정확한 이해가 어려우므로 치과진료실에서의 진료행위는 상당한 제한된 것이었고 불완전한 것이었다. 치아의 지지경조직, 연조직, 기타 구강에 영향을 주는 제반질병의 합리적인 관리가 구강내과학적으로 우선되야 할 것이다. 치과의사는 백혈구나 적혈구에 이상이 있는 환자는 치료하는 경우에 주의하여야 할 점이 많으므로 환자의 병력, 임상검사 및 예비검사등에 의하여 이러한 질병을 발견할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 환자에서는 비정상 출혈, 치유지연, 감염 혹은 점막 궤양이 나타나기 쉽다. 더구나 이들 중 어떤 질환은 치명적으로 이런 환자를 찾아내어 치과처치를 하기전에 내과의사에 보내어 진단, 치료를 받게 해야 한다. 환자자신이 질환에 대해 알고 있고 내과적 처치를 받고 있는 경우라도 의사와 협의가 없이는 어떠한 치과적 처치라도 피하도록 하는 것이 좋겠다. 이에 이러한 혈액질환들의 원인과 증상, 치료법등을 간단히 소개하여 수차에 걸쳐 연재하도록 하겠다. 여기에 연재된 내용들은 어떤부분에서는 너무 자세하게 기술된 내용도 없지 않으나 조금이나마 환자 치료에 도움이 되었으면 하는 바램이다.

The vermilion zone of the lips is mucocutaneous junction between the skin and the oral mucosa of lips. Diseases of the vermilion zone may be related to a local or systemic condition, and can be manifestation of a systemic disease. In this cases, we introduced patients with hemorrhagic, ulcerative lesions on the vermilion zone and reported plasma cell cheilitis and lesion of the vermilion zone related to Stevens-Johnson syndrome(SJS).

Painful, ulcerative lesions of various systemic disease can affect the oral mucosa membrane at first. If you don't consider the skin lesion, followed or accompanied by oral mucosa, you are likely to fail in differential diagnosis. In this cases, we introduced erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome(SJS) patients with painful, ulcerative lesions on oral mucosa and skin. Also we review oral mucosal diseases come with the skin lesions.

Personality characteristics of recurrent aphthous ulcer patients was analyzed psychologically by means of the SCL-90-R. The patients, 20 recurrent aphthous ulcer(RAU) patients, 33 oral lichen planus patients who visited Department of Oral Medicine, in Pusan National University Dental Hospital from 2010 to 2011. 59 control were collected from students of School of Dentistry, in Pusan National University. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Mean values of T-scores on 9 basic scales in RAU patients group, oral lichen planus patients group and control group were within normal range. 2. The T-score of SOM in RAU patients group were significantly higher than that in the control group. 3. The T-score of SOM, DEP, HOS in RAU female patients group were remarkably higher than that in the female control group. 4. The T-score of HOS in RAU patients group were significantly higher than that in the oral lichen planus patients group.

Parotid and whole saliva were collected from 27 healthy adults, from 25 years of age to 30, and from 27 patients with oral ulcer, from 23 years of age to 61. The amount of each Salivary immunoglobulin A was measured by single radial immunodiffusion (SRID) technique. Results were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference between the normal group and the disease group in the concentration of immunoglobulin A in whole saliva. 2. The concentration of immunoglobulin A in parotid saliva of the normal group was higher than the disease group and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups. (p<0.01) 3. The concentration of immunoglobulin A of the parotid saliva in both groups was higher than that of the whole saliva.

Erythema multiforme(EM), a blistering and ulcerative inflammatory disorder, affect skins or mucosa, and is thought to be triggered mainly by preceding infection, such as Herpes simplex virus, or exposure to drugs and medication, particular antibiotics or analgesics. Symptoms include typical cutaneous target lesions on skins and in case of oral manifestation, erosive and ulcerative lesions on lips, buccal mucosa, and tongue are known to occur, which needs differential diagnosis with other intraoral lesions. In this case, EM assumed that it is occurred by giving Trichomonas infection or Metronidazole in oral region is introduced with a review of diagnosis and treatment of EM.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the taste sensitivity in patients with oral mucosal diseases(Oral lichen planus(OLP), Recurrent apthous ulcer(RAU)) using electrogustometer. One hundred and seventy three subjects were included for the study and they were categorized into 2 groups(control 100, patient 73) and patient group was investigated in the Department of Oral Medicine, Pusan National University Hospital from April, 2005 until January, 2007. Control group was investigated in the clinics at Inchen Metroplitan city and Cheongju city from February to August, 2006. The electrical taste thresholds were measured by using an electrogustometer for the 4 different sites(tongue tip, tongue lateral, circumvallate papilla and soft palate) in oral cavity. The results were as follows ; 1. The electrical taste threshold in patient group was significantly decreased than that in the control group(p<0.001). 2. The electrical taste threshold, in terms of the chronicity and lesion multiplicity, was not significantly changed in patient group. 3. The electrical taste threshold was not significantly changed in Dexan only and Dexan+Prs combination treated group. 4. The electrical taste threshold, in terms of treatment progress(no response vs half response vs complete response), was not significantly changed. However subjective index which was determined by NAS(Numerical Analogy Scale) was significantly increased in no response group but significantly decreased in complete response group(p<0.001)

Congenital neutropenia or Kostmann syndrome is an inherited disorder manifesting in infancy and characterized by severe bacterial infections. The myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS) are a group of stem cell disorders characterized by a reduction in one or more elements of the peripheral blood. This paper reports a case of Kostmann syndrome and MDS with oral complications such as generalized gingivitis and periodontitis, oral mucosal ulcer, petechiae. The features of these syndromes are reviewed and their oral manifestations and significance to dental management outlined.

Purpose: Evaluate the mold we have made to improve the reproducibility of the patient position and make homogeneous dose distribution to the treatment volume effectively when treating the patient who has hypervascular ulcer on her tongue caused by paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome by mold brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: The mold is consisted of upper and lower parts. We inserted 2 mm of lead sheet on the gums toward the oral cavity to protect them from unnecessary irradiation during the treatment. We had planned on orthogonal images obtained the patient. 200 cGy was delivered in every fraction with a total dose of 3000 cGy. To evaluate the effect of the lead sheet, we made a measurement with a phantom that has gums and tongue made of tissue with an equivalent material (bolus). Five of TLDs were placed on the interesting points of gums to measure the dose during irradiation with lead sheet and without lead sheet for three times respectively. Results: The result of the measurement without lead sheet are A: 33.9 cGy, B: 30.1 cGy, C: 31.8 cGy, D: 23.3 cGy, E: 24.1 cGy. The results of measurement with lead sheet are A: 20.6 cGy, B: 18.8 cGy, C: 19.6 cGy, D: 14.7 cGy, E: 15.1 cGy. Conclusion: Since we are using the mold made in our department during the treatment of the patient with hypervascular ulcer on tongue, we could deliver a proper dose to the treatment volume. In addition, the mold provided highly accurate and reproducible treatment and reduced the dose to the gums and teeth. Therefore, the possibility of side effects could be decreased significantly.
