Abstract

This study suggested correction of excessive mouth opening or maximum occlusal contact to analyse occlusal contact time, occlusal contact number and force through evaluation of occlusal pattern in policemen with temporomandibular disorders. The community of policemen influence on temporomandibular disorder's development and progress due to other condition of mouth opening and maximal occlusal contact. Repeated training or changes of usual life style may cause imbalance of stomatognathic system including the masticatory muscle, then develop or aggravate pain of temporomandibular joints and associated structures. This study uses T-scan II system(Tekscan Co., USA) for evaluation on occlusal pattern may influence temporomandibular disorders, and then the subjects take a sensor at 20 mm opening for maximal occlusal contact force. The policemen with temporomandibualr disorders get more long time on maximum contact timing, more short on end contact timing, and more force on end contact force than general society's. So they get closure of mouth with more short time and more force, then transfer remaining load to temporomandibular joint. There are no statistically significances between affected side and occlusal pattern of occlusal contact time and force. There are Left -right dental arch imbalances seems on Rt. dental arch if affected side is right and Lt. dental arch if affected side is left. In above results, It's worth due consideration that policemen with temporomandibular disorders get more smooth mandibualr movement and less force on maximal occlusal contact position.

이 연구는 경찰사회에서의 측두장애환자의 교합상태를 평가하여 습관적인 최대교합시에 교합접촉 시기와 접촉수, 접촉힘을 분석하여 과도한 개구나 이악물기등의 악습관 교정을 제시 하는데 있다. 경찰사회에서는 일반 사회에는 다른 양상의 최대 개구, 습관적인 긴밀한 최대 교합상태 등으로 인하여 측두하악장애에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 반복적인 훈련이나 일상생활에서의 변화는 그동안 유지되어 오던 저작근을 비롯한 악구강계 평형 상태에 변화를 초래하여 측두하악관절과 그에 따른 구조물에 동통을 유발 내지는 악화 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 측두하악장애에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 교합상태를 조사하기 위하여 T-scan II system(Tekscan Co., USA)을 이용하였으며, 최대 교합력을 발휘하기 위하여 약 20 mm 정도의 개구 상태에서 최대교합시까지 물었다. 경찰종사자의 측두하악장애환자는 일반 측두장애환자보다 최초 접촉부터 최대 접촉까지 걸리는 시간은 오래 걸리며, 최종 접촉까지의 시간은 보다 짧았으며, 최종 교합접촉력은 더 강하여, 더 짧은 시간에 강한 힘을 유지한 채 폐구가 이루어져 측두하악관절에 더 많은 잔존한 부하를 전달하였다. 이환 측과 교합접촉 시간, 교합 접촉 힘등의 교합양상과는 관계가 미약하였으며, 최대 접촉력이 가해진 시기에서 우측이 이환 측이면 우측 악궁에, 좌측이 이환측일 경우 좌측 악궁에 집중되는 좌, 우 악궁간 불균형을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 측두하악장애를 가진 경찰 종사자들의 하악 운동에 보다 부드러운 움직임과 습관적인 최대 교합상태에서의 보다 적은 힘을 유지해야 할 것으로 생각되어진다.
