Abstract

This case report describes about recurrent herpetic stomatitis mimicking post-root resection complication. A 49 year-old male patient was diagnosed vertical root fracture of the mesiobuccal root of his left maxillary first molar (#26). The mesiobuccal root was resected following root canal treatment of the same tooth. 19 months later, the patient presented with pain on left hard palate after a barbecue party. Intra oral examination revealed a gum boil-like blister at the hard palate corresponding to the apex of the palatal root of #26. On clinical examination, there was bleeding on probing and the periodontal pocket depth was measured less than 5 mm with no tooth mobility. On a periapical radiograph, periodontal ligament space widening was observed. Tracing the sinus tract with gutta percha cone was attempted, however, it was impossible. Extending the field of vision, small multiple round ulcerations were observed at the palate front which caused pain to the patient. Therefore, the pain was considered a non odontogenic and the patient was referred to the department of oral medicine. The patient was diagnosed recurrent herpetic stomatitis and after 3 days of antiviral medication, the pain and ulceration were subsided.

본 증례에서는 치근 절제술의 합병증으로 오인할 수 있는 재발성 구내 헤르페스에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 49세 남환이 상악 좌측 제1대구치의 근심협측 치근의 수직파절로 근관치료 후 근심협측 치근절제술을 시행하였다. 19개월 후 환자는 뜨거운 고기를 씹은 후에 좌측 구개부가 헐고 불편하다는 주소로 재내원하였다. 구강 내 검사 시 상악 좌측 제1대구치의 구개측 치은에 농루로 의심되는 융기부위가 관찰되었다. 임상 검사에서 치아는 치주탐침 시 출혈을 보였고 5 mm 이하의 치주낭이 관찰되었으나 치아동요도는 없었다. 방사선 검사에서 구개측 치근에 치주인대강 비후의 소견을 보였다. 농루로 의심되는 부위에 gutta percha cone을 이용한 농루 추적을 시도하였으나 삽입되지 않았다. 시야를 넓혀 구개 전방부를 관찰하였을 때 작은 원형의 궤양이 다수 관찰되었고 환자는 동통을 호소하였다. 이상의 소견으로 비치성 동통으로 판단하여 구강내과에 의뢰하였고 구강내과에서 재발성 구내 헤르페스로 진단하여 항바이러스제 처방 후 환자의 통증 및 구개측 치은의 궤양이 소실되었다.
