Lichen planus is an immune-mediated mucocutaneous disease, affects more frequently middle-aged Caucasian women and makes signs and symptoms in the oral mucosa. Cutaneous lichen planus lesions cause itching but they are self-limiting, oral lichen planus lesions are usually chronic, recalcitrant to treatment and potentially premalignant in some cases. Although, oral lichen planus is non-plaque related disease, they possess particular problems because plaque control is complicated by pain and bleeding and might cause plaque-related disease. The resulting condition comprises accumulations of plaque, which again can influence the progress of oral lichen planus with burning sensation, spontaneous gingival bleeding. Thus, it should be noted that both medication and supportive periodontal treatment are essential for the remission of the lesions.

구강은 신체의 관문과도 같은 기관으로 구강 안은 신체 다른 부위의 상태를 알려줄 수 있는 좋은 거울과도 같다. 에이즈 환자도 마찬가지이다. 에이즈는 면역체계의 기능을 약화시키는 질환으로 에이즈 환자에게서는 건강한 사람에게선 보기 힘든 질병들이 나타나기도 하고 일반인에게 나타나는 질병은 더 심하게 증상이 나타나기도 한다. 구강에서 나타나는 이러한 징후들은 HIV에서 AIDS로 진행되는 증후군으로 진단에 활용되기도 한다.

골화석증(Osteopetrosis)은 전신의 뼈가 대리석 모양으로 골 경화를 일으키며 골수강의 폐쇄 및 골의 취약성을 보이는 드문 질환이다. 성인형(Adult form)은 우성 유전되며 경미한 증상을 나타낸다. 반면에 유아형(Infantile form)은 열성 유전되면서 심각한 증상을 나타내고, 조기에 사망에 이를 수도 있다. 골화석증은 골격계, 조혈계, 신경계에서 다양한 증상을 유발한다. 본 증례의 목적은 드물게 발생하는 유아형 골화석증을 가진 2 명의 환아를 치료한 후, 그 질환과 치과적 관리에 대해 고찰하고자 함이다. 첫 번째 증례는 골화석증으로 진단된 5세 8개월 남환이었다. 임상 및 방사선 검진 결과 악골 및 치아의 변형을 나타내었으나, 특별한 병적 소견이 없어 예방 치료 및 주기적인 검진 시행하였다. 두 번째 증례는 중증도의 치아우식증을 가진 환아로 의료진과의 협조 하에 수혈한 후 발치하였다. 유아형 골화석증은 다양한 구강 합병증을 유발하며, 질환의 심각성에 의해 치료 자체도 어렵다. 치과의사로서 골화석증 환아를 관리할 때에는 건전한 구강 상태를 유지하기 위한 지속적인 관심과 예방 치료가 필요하며, 아무리 간단한 발치나 치과 술식이더라도 의료진과 협조를 해야 한다.
