Abstract

저자는 본 증례를 통하여 발달장애 환자의 치과치료 시 다음과 같은 지견을 얻었다. 1. 발달장애 환자의 경우 불량한 구강위생 등으로 인하여 치과적 치료가 필요한 경우가 많다. 2. 발달장애 환자의 경우 비약물적 행동조절만으로 치과적 치료를 위한 충분한 협조도를 얻기가 어렵다. 3. 발달장애 환자에 있어서 midazolam 구강 전투약을 이용한 전신마취 하 치과치료가 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 4. 숙련된 의료진의 철저한 감시하에 정맥주사용 midazolam 제재를 설탕시럽에 혼합하여 투약한다면 전투약을 통해 기대하는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. Developmental disorders are a group of psychiatric conditions originating in childhood that involve serious impairments in different areas. These disorders comprise language disorders, learning disorders, motor disorders and autism spectrum disorders. Midazolam is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class developed by Hoffmann-La Roche in the 1970s. The drug is used for treatment of acute seizures, moderate to severe insomnia, and for inducing sedation and amnesia before medical procedures. It possesses profoundly potent anxiolytic, amnestic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, and sedative properties. The anterograde amnesia property of midazolam is useful for premedication before surgery to inhibit unpleasant memories. This article presents a case report including caries treatment of a 8-year-old male patient with developmental disorders using oral midazolam premedication as an alternative method of behavior management prior to general anesthesia.
