저자는 치아우식증을 주소로 경희의료원 소아치과에 내원한 레트 증후군 환아를 전신마취 하에서 치료를 시행하고 다음과 같은 치의학적 소견을 얻었다. 1. 본 증례에 보고된 레트 증후군 환아들은 비정상적인 저작, 이갈이, 과다한 타액분비, 높고 깊은 상악 구개, 혀의 전방 변위 등의 구강 증상을 보였다. 2. 본 증례에서 보고된 레트 증후군 환아들은 입과 손을 사용하는 습관-손깨물기, 손등을 핥거나 입술로 문지르기, 손가락빨기-을 갖고 있으며 흔히 손을 씻는 듯한 특징적인 상동증 사이에 이러한 동작을 반복하였다. 3. 이상과같은 진단적 요건을 숙지한다면 레트 증후군의 조기 발견에 도움이 될 수 있으며, 치과적 처치시에도 조기치료 및 예방술식을 시행할 수 있어 진정요법이나 전신마취의 필요성을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

치과 의사는 어린이들이 치과에서 받는 스트레스로 인해 행동 관리에서 어려움을 주로 겪게 된다. 스트레스에 대한 평가는 생체적 표지자인 심박수를 이용하는 방법이 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 치과에서 침윤 마취를 행한 후 이루어지는 수복 진료에서 아이들이 받는 스트레스 정도를 손목형 심박수 측정 장치를 사용하여 알아보기 위해서 계획되었다. 첫 치과 치료를 받은 어린이에서 심박수 변화는 국소 마취 단계에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 심박수는 치아 삭제에서 가장 높았으나, 단계별 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05). 이 중 3회 내원하여 치료를 마무리한 어린이에서는, 두 번째 내원의 심박수가 첫 번째 내원과 세 번째 내원에 비해 유의하게 높았으며(p < 0.05), 첫 번째와 세 번째 내원의 심박수는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05). 기존 치과 진료 경험이 없는 환아는 국소 마취를 포함한 치과 진료 시 두 번째 내원에서 스트레스를 많이 받는 것으로 생각되며, 치과의 진료 환경에 익숙해지려면 적어도 3회 이상의 내원이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is the state which develops after complications with the infection from HIV. Irrespective of their state, all HIV infections have infectivity. According to a 2013 U.N. AIDS global report, the number of reported newly infected with HIV is constantly falling, while that of Korea has been increasing over recent years and it surpassed 10,000 in 2013. This phenomenon might be attributed to the unusualness of the blood test for early detection of HIV infection. From this fact, we can assume that we have strong possibilities for encounters with infections in the office. But many misconceptions about the disease makes patients try to hide their medical history, which can lead to a nationwide spread of the infection without proper management. Even though it may be difficult to take care of HIV patients in smaller dental offices, large scale hospitals have the means to arrange protocols to treat them. We present a case about dental treatment of a patient with AIDS that has a history of cerebral infarction and hepatitis type B under general anesthesia. The purpose of this case report was to discuss the special considerations of dental care for patients with HIV.

Background: Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using lidocaine 2% is commonly used for anesthetizing primary mandibular molars; however, this technique has the highest level of patient discomfort compared to other local anesthesia techniques. Therefore, alternative anesthesia techniques are necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a single buccal infiltration of 4% articaine with IANB using 2% lidocaine, for the bilateral extraction of primary mandibular molars. Methods: The present study was conducted on 30 patients aged between 6 and 9 years, who required the extraction of bilateral primary mandibular molars. The patients were randomly divided into two groups as follows: In the first session, Group A received IANB with lidocaine 2% and group B received infiltration with articaine 4%. In the second session, another injection method was performed on the opposite side. The Wong-Baker Facial Pain scale (WBFPS), Face Leg Activity Cry, and Consolability (FLACC), and physiologic parameters were used to assess pain perception. Results: The independent t-test showed no statistically significant difference in blood pressure and heart rate before and after extraction (P > 0.05). The mean FLACC index in the lidocaine and articaine groups was 0.89 and 1.36, respectively; there was no statistically significant difference between them (P > 0.05). According to the results of the chi-square test, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups for WBFPS (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The articaine infiltration technique may be an alternative to the IANB for the extraction of primary mandibular molars.

Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by qualitative abnormalities in reciprocal social interactions and patterns of communication. Patients with autism are difficult to manage during dental treatment. Thus they need special consideration like physical restraint, conscious sedation or general anesthesia. A 5-year-old male dental patient with autism was reffered to dental treatment under conscious sedation using intramuscular midazolam that creats anterograde amnesia. Dental procedure using midazolm which cause anterograde amnesia can be effective treatment strategy in autism patient.

Sedation allows patients to maintain their airway independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal command while maintaining a minimum depressed level of consciousness. Drugs commonly used for sedation of pediatric dental patients include a combination of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine, and nitrous oxide-oxygen. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine and currently one of the most commonly used intravenous sedative agents. It can be easily titrated to provide a wide range of sedation, from conscious sedation to deep sedation, and exhibits a wide safety margin without severe respiratory and circulatory depression. At an appropriate dose, it also decreases patient anxiety and induces amnesia. We found that the submucosal administration of midazolam combined with chloral hydrate provided increased sedative effects and decreased the postoperative vomiting response compared with conventional chloral hydrate administration, with no significant difference in physiological responses. The depth of sedation can be titrated using this technique.

Buried bumper syndrome is a rare but potentially severe complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion. Though this complication is uncommon, it may lead to pressure necrosis, bleeding, perforation, peritonitis, sepsis, or death. Each case of buried bumper syndrome is unique in terms of patient comorbidities and anatomic positioning of the buried bumper. For this reason, many approaches have been described in the management of buried bumper syndrome. In this case report, we describe the case of an adolescent Caucasian female who developed buried bumper syndrome three years after undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion. We review diagnosis and management of buried bumper syndrome and describe a novel technique for bumper removal in which we use a guide wire in combination with external traction to maintain a patent gastrostomy lumen while removing the internal percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy bumper.

The anatomical variations of the external genitalia including the hymen were observed prospectively in 1,500 female infants born between March, 1992 and July, 1992 at the Taegu Fatima Hospital. Careful inspection of the external genitalia was done within 24 hours after birth, and abnormal findings photographed. Almost all hymenal tissue appeared to be redundant. The hymen was annulus in 89.1 % of patients. Ninteen point nine percent had a central orifice and the remainder a ventral orifice. External ridges, intravaginal ridges, and clefts were present in 71.5 %, 50.7 % and 40.5 %, respectively. Congenital anomalies of the external genitalia were found in 20 patients(1.4 %). There were sixteen cases of hymenal cysts, two hymenal polyps, one imperforate hymen, and one Skene's duct cyst. Seven of the 16 hymenal cysts with stalks were excised and those without stalk were aspirated. Hymenal polyps were excised. Imperforate hymen was incised and drained, and Skene's duct cyst was aspirated successfully. The surgical procedure were done without anesthesia, and the results have been good. In conclusion, routine physical examination of the female newborn infant detects frequent developmental anomalies. The significance of those anomalies will be clarified after longitudinal long-term followup studies.

Sialolithiasis is the formation of calcareous concretions within ductal system of a major or minor salivary gland. They are formed by deposition of calcium salts around a central nidus which may consist of desquamated epithelial cells, bacteria, foreign bodies, or products of bacterial decomposition. An 11-year-old boy complained of pain during meals and intermittent mild swelling in the right submandibular region. Although it was not detected in true occlusal radiograph, panoramic radiograph showed a round radiopaque mass 3mm in diameter. Computed tomography(CT) was taken for locating the stone and 3-dimensional reconstruction was performed. Under general anesthesia, sialoadenectomy was done through extraoral approach. Diagnosis of submandibular sialolithiasis using high-resolution CT with reconstructions was helpful for surgical decisions, namely radical removal of the submandibular gland and its duct.
