항생제를 사용한 유치의 치수치료 = PULP TREATMENT OF PRIMARY TEETH USING A CONBINATION OF ANTIBIOTICS

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 항생제를 복합 투여하여 유치의 근관 및 치근단 주위 감염에 대한 효과를 임상적으로 관찰하고자 하였다. 근관 및 치근단 주위 병소의 멸균을 목적으로 metronidazole, ciprofloxacin 및 minocyclin을 증류수 및 근관시멘트와 혼합하여 적용하였다. 유치의 근관 입구로부터 하방에 Fissurotomy^(�) bur(SS White, USA)를 이용하여 약제 공간을 형성하였고 약제는 치수실 바닥까지 채웠다.
본 증례들에서 단회 적용으로 임상 증상이 개선되었다. 치은종창, 동통, 누공 등 모든 증상이 술 후 1주일 내에 소실되었다. 임상적으로 활용하기 위해서는 보다 많은 수의 증례와 장기간의 임상적 평가가 필요하며 아직까지 근관내 항생제 사용에 따른 부작용에 대한 보고가 없지만 항생제에 민감한 환아에 대해서는 사용에 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
저자는 행동조절이 곤란한 소아에서 생리적 치근흡수가 진행 중인 감염된 유치를 가진 환아들을 대상으로 항생제를 복합 사용한 바 증상의 개선을 관찰하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to observe the potentiality of a mixture of antibiotics to relieve the endodontic and periapical infections in primary teeth. A mixture of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and minocyclin in distilled water or in a root canal sealer were used to disinfect the infected endodontic and periapical lesions. For application of this mixture, medication cavities were prepared at orifices of root canals by using the Fissurotomy^(�) burs(S S White, USA). The cavities and buttom of pulp chamber were filled with antibiotics mixture.
In this cases, clinical symptoms were improved following a single application of that mixture. Gingival swelling, pain, and fistulae were disappeared within a week. More long term evaluation will be needed. Although there were no reports of side effects, care should be taken if children are sensitive to antibiotics. Within the limitations of this case, the mixture of 3 antibiotics provided an excellent improvement in treatment of infected primary teeth under the physiologic root resorption.
