Abstract

질 높은 치료를 제공하고 안전한 치료환경을 만들기 위한 러버댐 사용의 중요성은 소아치과에서 더욱 강조된다. 한편 잘못된 클램프의 장착으로 발생하는 통증과 불완전한 방습은 협조도를 떨어뜨리고 진정 치료 중 방해가 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 혼합치열기 아동 110명의 경석고 모형을 통해 제2유구치의 치경부 근원심 폭경을 측정하고 이를 #203/204, #10/11, #205 클램프(Dentech, Japan)의 근원심 폭경과 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 제2유구치의 치경부 근원심 폭경은 하악이 상악보다 크고, 협측이 설측 보다 컸다. 모든 위치의 계측값이 클램프 폭경과 비교 시 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 그 차이값이 상악 제2유구치에서는 작은 반면 하악 제2유구치에서는 1 mm에 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 상악 제2유구치는 #203/204 및 #10/11 클램프와 비교적 잘 맞는 반면 하악 제2유구치를 위해서는 보다 적절한 크기의 클램프가 필요할 것으로 보인다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mesiodistal widths at the cervical level of primary second molars in Korean children, and to compare them with commercial rubber dam clamps commonly used in pediatric dentistry. Dental casts of 115 primary and mixed dentition children were studied. Cervical mesiodistal width (C-MD) was measured at the clinical cervical level of each primary second molar from buccal and lingual sides using a digital caliper (Absolute, Mitutoyo, Kawasaki, Japan). The data were compared with mesiodistal widths of rubber dam clamps #203/204, #10/11, and #205 (Dentech, Japan). C-MDs of primary mandibular second molars were larger than those of primary maxillary second molars, and C-MDs at buccal sides were larger than those of lingual sides. All C-MDs showed statistically significant discrepancies to corresponding widths on clamps (p < 0.05). However the amount of discrepancy was mild in maxillary teeth, while up to 1 mm of discrepancy was shown in mandibular teeth. In conclusion, C-MDs measured in this study imply a relatively fair fit of #10/#11 or #203/#204 clamps on primary maxillary second molars, while suggesting our need for a better clamp with proper size for primary mandibular second molars.
