초록

혀는 대표적인 구강암 호발 부위 중 하나로, 현재 설암 치료의 표준은 외과적 절제술로 알려져 있다. 그러나 설암으로 인해 혀 절제술을 받은 환자의 경우 혀의 가동성이 저하되어 연하와 발음 같은 정상적인 구강기능을 수행하는 데 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 환자들의 보철 수복 시에는 손상된 혀의 기능을 보완하기 위한 추가적인 고려가 필요하다. 구개증대보철물은 구개 연마면의 위치를 낮추어 혀-구개 접촉을 도움으로써 혀의 움직임이 제한된 환자의 구강기능을 개선할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 설암으로 인한 혀의 좌측 부분 절제술 및 피판 재건술 이후 혀의 가동성이 감소된 상하악 완전 무치악 환자를 대상으로 구개증대보철물로써의 상악 총의치와 전통적인 하악 총의치를 제작하였으며, 최종 보철물을 통해 저작과 연하 및 발음 기능이 개선되어 환자와 술자 모두 만족하는 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

The tongue is one of the most common sites of oral cancer. Glossectomy is known as the gold standard for tongue cancer treatment. However, surgical removal can lead to reduced mobility of the tongue and the patients may have difficulty performing normal oral functions like swallowing and pronunciation. Therefore, additional prosthetic consideration to supplement the function of the impaired tongue is needed for oral rehabilitation of such patients. Palatal augmentation prosthesis helps the tongue to reach the palate by lowering the position of the palatal polished surface. The oral functions of the patients with limited tongue mobility can be improved by the prosthesis. In this case, palatal augmented maxillary denture and conventional mandibular denture were fabricated for the completely edentulous patient with reduced tongue mobility after glossectomy due to tongue cancer. As a result, the oral functions of the patient were improved with the prosthesis.
