저작, 발음, 미관등 3대기능회복에 주안점을 두어왔던 치과보철학은 근년에 와서 l아 및 그 주위조직, 악골 및 악관절, 저작근육들과 그들을 지배하는 신경계통등 구강악계(stomatognathic system)의 total treatment로 더욱 발전되어 가고 있다. 구강악계를 구성하는 조직들은 각기 독립적으로 저작, 발음, 연하등 그 기능적 행위에 참여하는 것이 아니라 서로 긴밀한 협조와 조화에 의하여 이루어 지기 때문에 어떠한 조직의 잘못된 치료는 한 개의 기능적 단위인 구강악계전체에 영향을 미치게된다. 그러므로 치과수복 치료에 있어서 단순한 인레이로 부터 전구강회복에 이르기까지 이들 보철물들은 기능운동시 다른 조직들과 잘 조화되어야 된다는 것은 당연한 사실이다.

본 연구는, 기존의 나열식 분류체계의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 GRAIL을 이용하여 두경부의 해부학적 구조물들 및 구강 악안면 영역의 주요 질병들과 관련된 치의학 개념들의 모델을 구축한 뒤, 완성된 치의학 개념 모델이 두경부의 해부학적 구조물들 및 구강 악안면 영역의 주요 질병들을 잘 표현할 수 있는지와 기존의 GRAIL 모델이 지닌 특징에 잘 부합하는지를 평가하고자 시행되었다. 서울대학교 치과병원 내원 환자 중 포괄적인 치과 치료 병력을 지닌 환자 150명의 치과 의무기록을 내용별로 분석하고, 각종 치의학 교과서와 기존의 의학용어 분류체계에서도 모델 구축에 필요한 치의학 용어를 선택하였다. 이들 자료를 바탕으로, GRAIL 모델 구축을 진행하고 구축된 모델을 평가할 수 있는 소프트웨어 프로그램인 'KnoME'에서 치의학 개념 모델을 구축하고 평가하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 환자 150명의 치과 의무기록을 내용별로 분석한 결과, 우선적으로 모델 구축이 필요한 치의학 용어로는, 해부학적 구조물의 경우 치아, 치은, 악관절, 입술, 턱, 혀 등의 순서로 나타났으며, 구강악안면 영역의 병소에서는 치아 우식증, 치주염, 치은염, 악관절 장애, 매복 지치, 치경부 마모 등의 순서로 나타났다. 2. GRAIL을 이용하여 치아, 치주조직, 구강점막조직, 치아 우식증, 치수 및 치근단 병소, 치주질환, 구강점막질환의 모델 구축을 시행한 결과, 치의학 개념간의 다양한 관계가 대다수 잘 표현되었다. 그러나, 구강 악안면 영역의 해부학적 구조물에 대한 공간 정의의 한계성과 구강 악안면 질환의 진행 양상에 있어서 표현의 어려움이 관찰되었다. 이러한 부분은 GRAIL을 치의학 분야에 적용할 때, 극복해야 할 한계로 나타났다. 3. 치의학 개념들에 관한 다양한 질의를 시행한 후 그 응답 내용을 평가한 결과, 완성된 모델 내에서 치의학 개념의 자동적인 분류가 이루어 졌으며, 다양한 목적의 검색이 가능하였다. 이와 같은 사실로 미루어 보아서, 완성된 모델은 기존의 GRAIL 모델의 특성에 잘 부합되는 것으로 생각되었다.

The purpose of this study is to validate the potential etiologic factors for temporomandibular disorder(TMD). TMJ arthroscopic examination was performed in upper joint compartment of 32 joints from 20 patients with mandibular fractures. Synovial fluid was collected from the upper joint space during pumping manipulation with normal saline. Cytologic smearing and histomorphologic exam of synovial fluid were performed in 15 joints. Prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ concentration was measured in 11 joints. Leukotriene $B_4(LTB_4)$ concentration was measured in 8 joints. There were several arthroscopic variables such as ecchymosis, fibrillation, and adhesion. Histomorphologic exam showed a variety of findings such as bloody smears, cellular cluster, degenerated cells and cartilage, undifferentiated crystal. Mean $PGE_2$ concentrations were 316.5 pg/ml. Mean LTB4 concentrations were 45.9pg/ml. This study demonstrated a variety of findings on inflammatory and degenerative changes of TMJ. Because acute trauma such as mandibular fracture is a major etiologic factor in cartilage degradation and biochemical and intraarticular pathology, clinicians must identify and address TMJ signs and symptoms during follow-up periods in the long term.

교합조정이나 대부분의 보철치료는 비가역적이어서 명확한 치료 계획이 없이는 섣불리 치료를 시작하지 말아야 한다. 명확한 치료 계획을 위해서는 증상의 원인 인자를 파악해야 하나, 때때로 그 원인이 불분명하여 환자에게 무어라 설명해야 할지 난감한 경우가 많은 것이 바로 이 분야이다. 교합 재구성을 함에 있어서 생체 역학과 근육의 활동량을 고려해야 하는 것은 이미 주지하고 있는 바이다. 즉, 악관절이나 치아에 대한 하중을 조절함으로써 근조직의 안정을 도모하여 적정한 하악위와 원활한 하악운동을 획득하는 것이 교합 재구성의 큰 목적 중 하나이다.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a collective term embrassing a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory musculature, the Temporomandibular joint and associated structures, or both. The prevalence of signs and symptoms associated with TMD can be best appreciated by examining epidemiologic studies. But domestic epidemiologic studies about sex, history, chief complaint, diagnosis were not sufficient comparing with foreign countries. The results obtained as follow. 1. The number of visiting patients were 6500 and mean age was 34.06 year (Male's mean age was 33.15, Female's 34.62). In the age of patients, there was no significant difference between sex. 2. There are most patients who were referred by dentist (80.07%). Most diagnostic group was arthrogenous TMD group and followed by myogenous TMD, soft tissue disease. 3. There was strong interaction between diagnostic groups and chief complaint. 4. There was little pain difference between right and left sides. Male mainly had pain onset under 6 month, but female had pain onset more than 6 month. 5. The number of patients who had joint sound history were 3445 (53.15%). There was no significant difference of pain onset between sex. Clicking sound was most among joint sounds which happened to patients. 6. In analyzing the parafunctional habit, male mainly had bruxism, but female had clenching habit.

Purpose: Various treatment methods have been utilized for recurrent dislocation of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). The purpose of this study is to define the effect of the eminectomy with discoplasty that had been performed in patients with TMJ luxation. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients (22 joints), whose diagnosis were TMJ dislocation were selected in 772 patients (871 joints) who had been underwent TMJ surgery between 1988 and 2000. The selected patients were divided into two groups. Group I (12 joints) was the habitual-luxation group which involves the recurrent TMJ dislocation patients. Group II (10 joints) was the open lock-history group which involves the patients who had more than two episodes of TMJ luxation and TMJ disorders. The history of TMJ luxation, maximum mouth opening and other TMJ signs and symptoms before and after surgery were reviewed. Results: In group I, one patient who had been underwent both TMJ operation had a intermittent locking, but it disappeared after post-operative 32 months. In group II, intermittent pain was present in one patient who had bruxism, but it was disappeared by splint therapy. No more TMJ dislocations and other pains were checked in other patients of group I and II. Conclusion: Eminectomy with discoplasty may be used to successfully treat the TMJ habitual luxation accompanied with abnormal condition of the disc-condyle complex.

This study conducted a survey from September 5 to 30, 2020 targeting 415 workers participating in regional self-sufficiency center programs in four locations in Daejeon and Daegu. The purpose of the study was to examine oral symptoms of the study subjects and the effects if psychological anxiety parameters on oral health and quality of life. As a result of the study, oral dryness, temporomandibular joint symptoms, and periodontitis all had a significant effect on oral health and quality of life, and psychological anxiety factors had a partial mediating effect. The subjective oral symptom problems led to a negative psychological state, which could further impair the quality of life. In the future, the results of this study can be used as basic data for expanding psychological counseling programs for self-supporting workers and improving oral health policies for regular oral health education.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of oral and mental health status on temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) and the effects of TMD symptoms on quality of life using data from the 5th 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: A total of 1,154 people were selected as subjects for the study. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds (672 persons), TMJ pain (227 persons), and TMJ dislocation (255 persons) were the factors studied. The complex sample chi-square test was performed to compare demographic characteristics according to the three groups of TMD symptoms. Complex sample logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the effect of oral and mental health status on TMDs, and complex sample linear regression analysis was performed to check the effect of TMDs on the quality of life (EQ-5D). Results: After adjusting for demographic characteristics, those without TMJ sound symptoms had lower pain/discomfort (OR: 0.055, CI: -0.095 to -0.016) and anxiety/depression (OR: 0.053, CI: -0.092 to -0.014). Those without TMJ pain had lower pain/discomfort (OR: 0.119, CI: -0.192 to -0.046) and anxiety/depression (OR: 0.071, CI: -0.137 to -0.004). Pain/discomfort (OR: 0.063, CI: -0.125 to -0.001) was lower in those without TMJ dislocation symptoms. After adjusting for mental health status, pain/discomfort (OR: 0.088, CI: -0.161 to -0.014) was found to be lower in those without TMJ pain symptoms (p<0.05). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the treatment of TMDs, oral health, and also mental health, is needed to improve the quality of life.
