Abstract

The use of a rubber dam is a useful technique for protecting patients and operators, producing good results when treating children and adolescent patients. Despite its many advantages, some children and adolescent patients have negative feelings and sometimes express its discomfort. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patients' preferences for rubber dam use and the associated factors that may affect it. A survey was conducted targeting patients aged 4-18 years old who visited the pediatric dental clinic, the restorative dental clinic, or the student treatment dental clinic of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University Dental Hospital, and were treated using a rubber dam without sedation. We collected questionnaires through electronic medical records. Most children and adolescent patients showed positive attitudes towards using rubber dams. The group with a short treatment time and the group with past knowledge or experience of rubber dam use showed more positive attitudes towards rubber dams (p < 0.05), while no significant difference was found among factors such as gender, age, procedure, anesthetics, treatment site, and operator (p > 0.05).

러버댐 방습은 환자와 술자를 보호하고 양질의 치료 결과를 얻기 위해 소아, 청소년 환자 치료 시 매우 유용하게 사용되고 있는 술식으로 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으나, 일부 환자들은 이에 불편감을 호소하기도 한다. 본 연구는 러버댐 방습에 대한 환자 및 보호자들의 선호도와 그에 미칠 수 있는 요인들에 대해 알아보기 위하여 계획되었다. 비진정치료 하에 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$대학교 치과병원 소아치과, 보존과, 일차외래에 내원하여 러버댐을 착용하에 치료를 받은 4-18세 환자들을 대상으로 작성된 설문지를 전자 차트 기록을 통하여 취합하였다. 환아들은 러버댐 방습에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하는 경향을 보였고, 치과 치료에 대해 긍정적으로 생각하는 그룹이 러버댐 방습에 대해서도 더 긍정적으로 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 치료 시간이 짧은 그룹, 러버댐 방습에 대한 지식 및 경험이 있는 그룹에서 러버댐 방습에 대한 태도가 더 긍정적인 것으로 나타났으며(p < 0.05), 성별, 나이, 치료 내용, 마취 여부, 치료 부위, 술자 요인에 대해서는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05).
