Abstract

The purpose of this study was to estimate occlusal tooth wear and bruxism severity in TMD patients, and evaluate the effectiveness of the present age estimation method by occlusal tooth wear in TMD patients. Takei's age estimation method was applied to 163 subjects(56 controls, 107 TMD patients). The author analyzed the degree of occlusal tooth wear from the difference between estimated age and actual age. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In all age group, occlusal tooth wear in TMD patients is higher than those in asymptomatic controls. In 20's age group, a statistically significant difference was found. 2. In both gender, occlusal tooth wear in TMD patients is higher than those in asymptomatic control. In male, a significant difference was found. 3. Occlusal tooth wear in TMD patients with bruxism is significantly higher than that in control. 4. We found no significant difference in bruxism severity and occlusal tooth wear among the RDC/TMD subgroups. 5. Application of Takei's method would be still useful for age estimation in Korean. In case of age estimation of TMD patients using occlusal tooth wear, evaluation of the bruxism severity and appropriate correction according to age, sex and difference of geographical location should be considered.

본 연구는 측두하악장애 환자에서 이갈이의 유무 및 심도에 따른 추정연령과 실제 연령과의 차이(추정오차)를 평가하여 그 관계를 살펴보고, 측두하악장애 환자의 이갈이가 치아 교모도를 통한 연령감정에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 교모도를 이용한 Takei의 연령감정법을 163명(대조군: 56명, 환자군: 107명)의 대상자에게 적용하였다. 저자는 추정연령과 실제연령의 차이를 통해 대상자의 교모도를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 연령에 따라서는 측두하악장애 환자군이 대조군에 비해 모든 연령군에서 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 20대에서 유의성 있는 차이가 나타났다. 2. 성별에 따라서는 측두하악장애 환자군이 대조군에 비해 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며, 특히 남성에서 유의성 있는 차이가 나타났다. 3. 이갈이가 있는 측두하악장애 환자군은 대조군에 비해 교모도가 더 큰 경향을 나타냈으며 유의성 있는 차이를 나타냈다. 4. 측두하악장애 환자군간에는 이갈이 심도와 교모도에 대한 유의성 있는 상관관계를 발견하지 못하였다. 5. Takei에 의한 방법은 한국에서 여전히 유용한 연령감정법으로 평가된다. 따라서 측두하악장애 환자에서 교모도를 이용한 연령감정의 경우, 이갈이 심도에 대한 평가와 연령, 성별, 지역에 따른 차이에 대해서도 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.
