자폐는 사회적 상호작용의 장애, 의사소통의 장애, 행동, 관심 및 활동이 한정되고 반복적이며 상동적인 양상을 나타내는 것으로 정의 될 수 있다. 자폐아의 경우 치과 치료시 협조를 얻어내는 것이 용이하지 않으며 자폐의 심도나 환아의 협조도 구강 상태 및 전신상태 등을 고려하여 행동 수정법, 약물을 이용한 진정요법, 전신마취 등을 통해 보다 효율적인 치과치료를 시행할 수 있다. 치과치료에 협조가 가능한 경증의 행동장애 또는 중등도의 행동장애를 보이는 경우 일반적인 행동 수정법과 진정요법으로 치료가 가능할수 있다. 그러나 환아의 협조도가 매우 불량하고 많은 양의 치과치료가 필요한 경우 한 번의 전신마취를 통해 환자는 여러번의 내원으로 인한 비용, 시간, 불안감을 줄일 수 있다. 본 증례는 충치치료를 주소로 연세대학교 원주기독병원 소아치과에 내원한 자폐로 진단받은 환아에서 각각의 자폐 심도에 따른 행동 조절법을 적용한 치과치료를 시행하고 다소의 지견을 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

Conceptually, the emergency is classified as an urgency and an emergency. The Urgency is not immediately life threatening, but could become so if not resolved promptly. So, it requires prompt patient care same as in the emergency situation. However, the emergency is immediately life threatening and requires immediate action, such as calling 119 and basic life support. Most medical emergencies in the dental clinic cases are urgencies. The incidence of true emergencies is approximately 1/1,000,000. Adequate managing medical urgencies are important because the chance of encountering medical emergencies in the dental clinic is high and higher these days especially because of rapidly aging Korean society. Many dentists indicate that many dentists feel difficulties to recognize and treat medical problems. This paper reviews the concept of medical emergencies and how to cope with commonly occurring urgencies in the dental clinic such as loss of consciousness, hypoglycemia, hyperventilation syndrome. The best treatment for medical urgencies and emergencies in the dental clinic is prevention. Also, it is required to make preparation for emergency situations such as CPR education for dentists and being well-acquainted with equipment and drugs for the emergency care as well as to systemic medical evaluation, patient monitoring, and sedations for controlling patient's anxiety and pain. In this paper, simple algorithms based on guidelines for common urgencies in the dental clinic are suggested. In conclusion, every dentist has competencies to do the urgency care adequately and basic life support. Also, advanced cardiac life support is strongly recommended when sedation is performed in the clinic.

Background: It is important to evaluate preoperative anxiety and prepare sedation when performing dental surgery under local anesthesia. Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is useful for predicting preoperative anxiety. State anxiety is defined as a subjective feeling of nervousness. Reduction in the number of the state anxiety items (questions) will be clinically important in allowing us to predict anxiety more easily. Method: We analyzed the STAI responses from 1,252 patients who visited our institution to undergo dental surgery under local anesthesia. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted for 9 groups comprising anxiety level determinations using the STAI; we then developed a coefficient of determination and a regression formula. We searched for a group satisfying the largest number of requirements for regression expression while setting any necessary conditions for accurately predicting anxiety before dental surgery under local anesthesia. Results: The regression expression from the group determined as normal for preoperative state anxiety was deemed the most suitable for predicting preoperative anxiety. Conclusion: It was possible to reduce the number of items in the STAI by focusing on "Preoperative anxiety before dental surgery."

치과의사는 자폐인의 치료시 자폐증의 정도와 의학적 관리가 필수적인 질환, 내과적 병력, 현재 환자가 복용하고 있는 약물등을 고려하여 이에 따라 적절한 행동조절 방법을 선택하여야 한다. 행동조절 방법의 선택시 술자가 선호하는 방법을 우선하기 보다는 환자의 상태와 치과치료시 환자와 보호자가 받는 스트레스를 최우선으로 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 환자의 현증에 대한 적절한 행동조절하의 치과치료도 중요하지만, 그보다 더 중요한 것은 환자가 거부감을 느끼지 않고 치과에 내원할수 있도록 훈련시키는 것과 지속적인 구강위생 관리이므로 보호자를 위한 구강위생 관리교육 및 주기적인 내원에 의한 관리가 필요하다고 생각된다.

Awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation is a useful technique, especially in patients with airway obstruction. It must not only provide sufficient anesthesia, but also maintain spontaneous breathing. We introduce a method to achieve this using a small dose of fentanyl and midazolam in combination with topical anesthesia. The cases of 2 patients (1 male, 1 female) who underwent oral maxillofacial surgery are reported. They received $50{\mu}g$ of fentanyl 2-3 times (total $2.2-2.3{\mu}g/kg$) at intervals of approximately 2 min. Oxygen was administered via a mask at 6 L/min, and 0.5 mg of midazolam was administered 1-4 times (total 0.02-0.05 mg/kg) at intervals of approximately 2 min. A tracheal tube was inserted through the nasal cavity after topical anesthesia was applied to the epiglottis, vocal cords, and into the trachea through the fiberscope channel. All patients were successfully intubated. This is a useful and safe method for awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation.

Chloral Hydrate와 hydroxyzine을 경구 복용한 후 midazolam을 협점막하로 추가 투여한 진정법은 진정 심도를 깊게 해주고 안정적인 진정 상태를 유지해 준다고 보고된다. 진정 중 나타나는 반응에 대한 연구는 활발하나 퇴원 기준에 따라 환자를 귀가시킨 후 나타나는 반응에 대한 연구는 아직 부족하다. 이 연구에서는 진정법을 이용하여 치과 치료를 받은 소아 환자의 진정 후 행동 반응 및 부작용에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이화여자대학교 목동병원 소아치과에 2005년 4월부터 2007년 12월까지 내원하여 진정법으로 치료받은 환아를 대상으로 귀가 후 24시간 이내에 전화를 이용하여 설문 조사하였다. 조사 항목은 진정 후수면 유무, 진정 후 수면 시간, 진정 후 수면 행동, 수면에서 회복 후 행동, 진정 후 구토 유무이다. 귀가 후 227명(57.8%)이 잠을 잤고 21명(6.3%)이 비정상적인 수면 행동을 보였다. 104명(31.0%)이 수면에서 회복 후 비정상적인 행동을 하였고, 10명(3.0%)이 구토 반응을 보였다. Midazolam 용량이 많으면 진정 후 잠을 잘 가능성이 크고(p<0.05), 괴로워 하면서 자거나 자다깨다를 반복할 수 있으며(p=0.055) 수면 시간도 길어질 수 있다(p=0.054). 이번 조사에서는 진정 후 수면이 많았고, 비정상적인 행동 및 구토 반응도 있었으나 우려할 만한 응급상황은 나타나지 않았다. Midazolam의 협점막하 병용 투여는 안전한 진정법으로 보이며 장기적 연구, 전향적 연구 등이 필요할 것이다.

Background: Patients were subjected to post-discharge follow-up (by telephone) in order to investigate the potential complications of outpatient general anesthesia or deep sedation that could develop in disabled dental patients discharged from the hospital. The ultimate aim of this study was to establish an appropriate response measure for such complications. Methods: The caregivers of 79 disabled patients who underwent dental procedures under general anesthesia at our outpatient clinic were interviewed over telephone. Necessary care instructions were provided during the phone calls when required. The patient satisfaction level regarding the telephonic follow-up care was surveyed by additional telephone calls. Results: Most of the patients did not suffer any serious complications; however, some reported fever and bleeding. The data obtained in this study can be utilized towards the development of caregiver education pertaining to the ambulatory general anesthesia of dental patients with disabilities. Conclusions: Additionally, we hope that the findings of this study will help minimize the effects of complications experienced by disabled dental patients undergoing ambulatory general anesthesia, as well as increase the overall patient satisfaction level.

Many patients with mental retardation need extensive dental treatment because they have much difficulty in maintaining their oral hygiene. However, because they are not cooperative and not manageable, they require physical restraints, drug induced sedation or general anesthesia. General anesthesia is useful in control of the patients who cannot be treated in other ways. Additionally, general anesthesia provides more safe environment for medically compromised patients. And medical treatment can be provided simultaneously under general anesthesia. Furthermore, almost all treatment can be provided without visiting several times. This case reports of periodontal, restorative and ophthalmological treatment of patient with mental retardation under general anesthesia.

Issues related to the control of seizures and bleeding, as well as behavioral management due to mental retardation, render dental treatment less accessible or impossible for patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). A 41-year-old man with SWS visited a dental clinic for rehabilitation of missing dentition. A bilateral port-wine facial nevus and intraoral hemangiomatous swollen lesion of the left maxillary and mandibular gingivae, mucosa, and lips were noted. The patient exhibited extreme anxiety immediately after injection of a local anesthetic and required various dental treatments to be performed over multiple visits. Therefore, full-mouth rehabilitation over two visits with general anesthesia and two visits with target-controlled intravenous infusion of a sedative anesthesia were planned. Despite concerns regarding seizure control, bleeding control, and airway management, no specific complications occurred during the treatments, and the patient was satisfied with the results.

Wolff-Hirschorn syndrome is a condition that is caused by a deletion of genetic material near the end of the short (p) arm of chromosome 4. The major features of this disorder include a characteristic facial appearance, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, and seizures. A 9-year-old girl was brought to the clinic with a chief complaint of dental examination. The child was diagnosed as WHS at Samsung medical center. The child was under Sodium valproate, Atrovastatin medication for epilepsy, hyperlipidemia and had a history of heart surgery. So prophylactic antibiotics were recommended. The child was mentally retarded and had seizure so it was difficult to manage her behavior effectively. Thus dental treatment was carried out under general anesthesia. For prompt sedation induction we used 8% sevoflurane shortly. This report presents the case of a 9-year-old girl with WHS, who has received treatment for extensive caries under general anesthesia.
