Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between conscious sedation, a moderate sedation method used to reduce dental fear, and anxiety. Methods: The previously developed modified dental anxiety investigation scale (MDAS) and dental fear investigation scale (DFS) were investigated using a self-administered survey for adults aged 19 to 65 years old who visited a dental clinic located in Daegu City from April to November 2020. Those who met the ASA Recommendation Level 1 to 2 were the subjects of this study. The participants were evaluated using the sedation severity rating scale (OAA/S) during the implementation of conscious sedation. A lot of 106 valid questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Dental fear and anxiety decreased significantly after dental care with conscious sedation. Dental fear after dental care accompanied by conscious sedation was statistically significant in females, those under the age of 40, those with a bachelor's degree or higher, and those who weighed 60 kg or less. Conclusions: Dental care using conscious sedation was found to have an effect on the reduction of dental fear after the dental procedure. Dental fear can occur in people of all ages, and, regardless of the individual's general and physical characteristics, conscious calming is considered an effective intervention for dental fear in all adults.

치과병원에서 가동되는 기기소음이 환자들에게 피해를 줄 것으로 예상되어 치료시(스케일링, 치아제거) 및 비치료시(기기만 가동) 소음특성(소음도, 주파수 특성)을 측정하여 PSIL, NR과 같은 평가방법으로 분석하고 환자들의 기기소음에 대한 반응을 설문조사를 실시하였다. 치료기기로부터 1 m 떨어진 거리에서 측정한 소음도의 범위는 67.7~78.3 dB(A)로 4 k (Hz) 이상의 고주파성분을 나타내고 있으며 응답자의 대부분이 소음에 민감한 반응(기분이 거슬리거나, 병원방문을 망설임, 소름이 돋움, 깜짝 놀람)을 보이는 것으로 조사되었다. PSIL에 의한 소음 평가 및 설문조사 결과 환자와 치과종사자의 대화에는 문제가 없는 것으로 평가되었으나 NR곡선에 의한 평가 결과 NRN에 의한 각 실의 소음기준(ISO) 중 작업장의 소음기준(NRN 60~70 dB(A))을 훨씬 초과하는 수준이었다. 병원을 방문하는 환자들의 소음공포증을 해소시키기 위하여 방음보호구 제공, 저소음 저진동 장비의 선택, 마스킹 효과 등의 다양한 대책을 수립 제공하면 치과의료서비스 질을 개선하고 치과병원 경쟁력을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 치과 치료를 받는 환자들의 불안, 통증, 공포, 스트레스를 줄이기 위해 최면의 효과를 알아보고 환자의 만족도를 높이기 위해 어떤 방법으로 도입하는 것이 바람직할지 알아보기 위함 이었다. Medline을 이용하여 치과 및 의학 영역의 최면과 관련된 연구를 검색하여 분석하였다. 치과 영역에서 최면 요법의 이용은 환자의 불안, 공포, 통증, 스트레스 등을 줄여주어 편안한 치료를 받을 수 있도록 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 면역 체계에 영향을 끼쳐 치유에 도움을 주고, 약물의 사용을 줄여 부작용을 감소시킬 수 있는 효과도 나타났다. 따라서, 최면 요법을 활용한 치과 진료 시 환자는 정신적, 육체적으로 편안한 진료가 가능하며, 이로써 환자의 진료의 만족도가 높아질 것으로 예상된다.

저자는 소아치과 환자의 일반적인 치료시 흔히 나타나는 과민성, 불협조, 공포감 등의 아동 취급상의 난점들을 심리적인 충격없이 해소함을 목적으로 Demerol, Phenergan과 Atarax들의 약제를 치료전에 준비투약 함으로써 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 일반 소아과에서 사용되는 약물용량보다 소아치과 외래환자에선 2배의 용량에서 만족스러운 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 2) 용량결정에 있어서 최초 투약용량을 정확히 산출함으로써 준비투약의 성공을 가져올 수 있었다. 3) 준비투약의 성공은 일정한 기간후 환자의 recall appointment시 준비투약 없이도 보다 나은 협조을 얻을 수 있었다. 4) Demerol, Phenergan, Atarax사용에 있어서 그 부작용은 거의 무시할 수 있을 정도로 경한 것이였으며 환자의 심리적인 지원을 갖어 올 수 있어 아동 취급상에 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있있다.
