Abstract

In this clinical research, the fluoride tape(SCMC-T-5) using fluoride(NaF) was developed and manufactured and the treatment effect of the fluoride tape in dentin hypersensitivity patients was evaluated and compared with the effect of existing fluoride varnish($CavityShield^{TM}$). Twenty two healthy adult patients(88 teeth) having dentin hypersensitivity participated in this clinical research and they were divided into two groups. The fluoride product was applied according to the manufacturer's instruction and the level of pain in the tooth after giving irritation using compressed air and ice stick was measured just after the application, after 3 days, after a week and after 4 weeks each using visual analog scale(VAS). In the experimental group, compared with the early VAS scores, all other VAS scores showed the significant decreases statistically. In the control group, all VAS scores except the VAS score of 34.091(air) measured 3 days after(using the irritation examination by the compressed air) showed the significant decreases statistically when compared with the early VAS scores. The fluoride tape and fluoride varnish used in this clinical research were able to treat the dentin hypersensitivity effectively.

본 임상연구는 상아질지각과민증을 치료하기 위한 여러 가지 방법 중 효과적인 방법의 하나로 알려져 있는 불소(NaF)를 이용하여 불소테이프(SCMC-T-5)를 개발, 제조하고, 이를 이용하여 상아질 지각과민 치료 효과를 기존의 불소바니쉬(Cavity $Shield^{TM}$)와 비교, 평가하였다. 상아질 지각과민증이 있는 건강한 20대 남녀 22명(88개 치아)이 본 임상연구에 참가하였으며, 각각 11명씩 불소테이프를 부착시킨 실험군과 불소바니쉬를 도포한 대조군으로 분류하였다. 불소 제제는 제조사의 지시에 따라 적용되었으며, 불소 제제 도포 전, 도포 3일후, 1주일 후, 4주일 후 대상치아에 압축공기와 얼음막대를 이용하여 자극을 가한 뒤 visual analog scale(VAS)을 이용하여 통증 정도를 표시하도록 하였다. 실험군에서 VAS scores는 초기에 38.636(air), 62.273(ice), 3일 후 30.273(air), 49.545(ice), 1주일 후 28.182(air), 40.000(ice), 4주일 후 26.364(air), 37.727(ice)이었으며, 초기 VAS socres에 비해 모든 VAS scores는 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 감소되었다. 대조군에서 VAS scores는 초기에 42.274(air), 65.909(ice), 3일 후 34.091(air), 55.909(ice), 1주일 후 28.636(air), 40.909(ice), 4주일 후 27.727(air), 31.364(ice)이었으며, 3일 후에 시행된 압축공기에 의한 자극검사를 제외한 모든 VAS scores는 초기 VAS socres와 비교했을 때 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 감소되었다. 본 임상연구에 사용된 불소테이프와 불소바니쉬는 상아질 지각과민증을 효과적으로 감소시켰고, 두 약제간의 치료효과의 차이는 없었다.
