The augmentation of soft tissue defects is one of the critical problems in the oral and maxillofacial surgery. Various types of graft materials, both autologous and non-autologous, have been used for the augmentation of soft tissue in the facial region. However, it is not easy to choose an ideal material for soft tissue augmentation because each has its advantages and disadvantages. An ideal graft material should meet the following criteria : it should not leave a scar at the area from which it was taken; should have less likelihood of causing infection; should feel natural after implanted; and should be not absorbed. Among the materials meeting these criteria, human dermis and artificial dermis are commonly used for clinical purposes. The present study was aimed to investigate and compare the resorption rate and the histological change following the use of the autologous dermis, the human homogenous dermis $Alloderm^{(R)}$, and the artificial dermis $Terudermis^{(R)}$ to reconstruct the soft tissue defect. Twenty mature rabbits of either sex, weighing about 2 ㎏, were used. Each rabbit was transplanted with the autologous dermis, $Alloderm^{(R)}$, and $Terudermis^{(R)}$ size $1{\times}1-cm$ at the space between the external abdominal oblique muscle and the external abdominal oblique fascia. They were then divided into 4 groups (n=5 each) according to the time elapsed after the surgery: 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks. The resorption rate was calculated by measuring the volume change before and after the transplantation, and H-E stain was preformed to observe the histological changes. The resorption rate after 8 weeks was 21.5% for the autologous dermis, 16.0% $Alloderm^{(R)}$, and 36.4% $Terudermis^{(R)}$, suggesting that $Alloderm^{(R)}$ is the most stable while $Terudermis^{(R)}$ is the most unstable. In microscopic examinations, the autologous dermis graft was surrounded by inflammatory cells and showed foreign body reactions. The epidermal inclusion cyst was observed in the autologous dermis graft. $Terudermis^{(R)}$ and $Alloderm^{(R)}$ demonstrated neovascularization and the progressive growth of new fibroblast. The results suggest that $Terudermis^{(R)}$ and $Alloderm^{(R)}$ can be availably for substituting the autologous dermis.

Purpose: Mandible resection and discontinuity defect created lead to aesthetic and functional problems. The iliac crest bone graft exhibits relative ease for bone harvesting, possibility of two team approach, ability to close the wound primarily, large amount of corticocancellous bone and relatively few complications. Whereas the use of free vascularized flaps has donor site morbidity and worse-fitting bone contour, the use of nonvascularized iliac bone graft has advantages in the operation time and patients' recovery time. So, nonvascularized iliac bone graft could be an attractive option. Methods: Twenty-one patients (M:F=1:1.1) underwent iliac crest bone harvesting for reconstruction of mandibular discontinuity defect (mean length : $61.6{\pm}17.8$ mm), from May 2005 to October 2011 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Kyungpook National University. The average age was $44.1{\pm}16.4$ years and the mean follow up periods was $28.2{\pm}22.7$ months. Bone resorption rate, according to age, sex, primary lesion, location and distance of defect, type of fixation plate, time of graft and pre-operative radiation therapy, were measured in each patient. Results: The mean bone resorption rate was $16.1{\pm}9.0%$. Bone resorption rate was significantly increased in mandibular defect that is over 6 cm in size (P=0.015, P<0.05) and the cases treated pre-operative radiation therapy (P=0.017, P<0.05). All was successfully fixed and maintained for the long-term follow-up. There were a few donor site complications and almost all patients were shown favorable outcome without severe bone resorption in this study. Conclusion: The nonvascularized iliac bone graft seems to be a reasonably reliable treatment option for reconstruction of mandibular discontinuity defects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) used in combination with the porcine cancellous bone as a scaffold, in promoting bone regeneration in the bone defects ofthe rabbit calvaria. Methods: Ten rabbits were used in the study. Three round-shaped defects (diameter 8.0 mm) were created in the rabbit calvaria and were filled with nothing (control group), porcine cancellousbone (Experimental Group 1, porcine bone) and PRF-mixed porcine cancellous bone (Experimental Group 2). TS-GBB is a xenogenic bone-substitute product comprised of a high heat-treated mineralized porcine cancellous bone. Animals were sacrificed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks for the histological and radiographic evaluations. Results: In the micro computed tomography and histological results, the experimental groups 1 and 2 showed more bone formation, remodeling, and calcification than the control group. The new bone formation ratio showed theGroup 2 to be larger than Group 1 at6 and 12 weeks. However, there was no significant difference between the experimental groups 1 and 2 in the new bone formation area, at the 6 and 12 weeks (P>0.05). Conclusion: The PRF-mixed group showed more bone formation than the porcine cancellousbonegroup (TS-GBB), butthere was a no significant difference. The PRF may not lead to enhanced bone healing when grafted with the porcine cancellous bone.

To evaluate criteria, indications, and prognosis of the various reconstructive methods on the patients with intraoral soft tissue defect who had been treated at Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital from 2003 to 2005, we have reviewed the clinical data of the patients and analysed. The results were as follows: 1. Tongue flaps have been mainly applied on anterior portion of palate and maxilla. The survival rate was high percent, but the cooperation of patient was inevitable for the success. 2. Palatal mucosa rotational flaps were available on relative large defect on palate, oroantral fistula site. The side effect was a scaring band from secondary healing on denuded donor palate site. Sometimes the band came to be a hinderance to swallowing, phonation. 3. Forearm free flap was a workhorse flap for everywhere in intraoral defects. We had used the flap on cheek, floor of mouth, tongue without any significant complications. But the application of the flap was required for long operation time, which was disadvantageous to the old, weak patients. 4. Cervical platysmal flap could be easily applicable for buccal cheek, floor of mouth after excision of the cancer lesion. The design of the flap could be made simultaneously on neck dissection, but the danger of cancer remnants on the flap always might be remained. 5. Buccal fat pad pedicled flap must have been a primary flap for repair of oroantral fistula especially on posterior maxilla. The flap survival will be expected if the considerations for above reconstructive methods on site, size, condition of defects primarily could be made.

Purpose : Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous material with many growth factors, such as BMPs, PDGF, $TGF-{\beta}_1$, $TGF-{\beta}_2$, VEGF, and IGF, facilitating bone healing process. The prominent osteoconductive activity and the biodegradable nature of beta-tricalciumphosphate (${\beta}-TCP$) for bone grafts in animal experiments have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of PRP on the osteogenesis of ${\beta}-TCP$. Materials & Methods : Two artificial calvarial bone defects were made in 32 rabbits which were divided into 2 groups. In one group of 16 rabbits, autogenous bone / ${\beta}-TCP$ was grafted on each side of cranial bone defect. In the other group of 16 rabbits, mixture of ${\beta}-TCP$ and PRP / PRP alone was grafted on each side of the cranial bone defect. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery. The specimens were harvested and examined histologically and immunohistochemically by the expression of BMP2/4/7, PDGF, VEGF and $TGF-{\beta}_1$. Results : The mean volume of new bone formation was significantly higher at 4, 8, 12 weeks in autogenous graft than that in ${\beta}-TCP$. The BMP2/4 expression was significantly higher at 4 weeks in autogenous bone graft and at 4 weeks in mixture of ${\beta}-TCP$ and PRP and at 12 weeks in ${\beta}-TCP$. The expression of BMP7, PDGF, VEGF and $TGF-{\beta}_1$ showed no significant difference in autogenous, ${\beta}-TCP$, mixture of ${\beta}-TCP$ and PRP, and PRP alone during grafted bone regeneration. Conclusion : The results showed that PRP had no additional value in promoting healing process of ${\beta}-TCP$ grafts.

The purpose of this research was to investigate whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation applied to the rabbit cranial defects grafted with ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) could affect the new bone formation. With 16 New Zealand white rabbits under the same condition, bilateral calvarial bone defects were formed around the sagittal suture line. The defect on the left side was grafted with ${\beta}$-TCP, while on the right side was grafted by harvested autogenous bone. PEMF was applied to 8 rabbits for 8 hours per day. The bony specimen were divided into 3 groups, the group 1 was autogenous bone grafted specimen, the group 2 was ${\beta}$-TCP grafted with PEMF, and the group 3 was ${\beta}$-TCP grafted without PEMF. We investigated the bone regeneration & growth factor expression at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. As a result, BMP 2 was expressed in the group 1 from 2 weeks, the group 2 from 4 weeks, and the group 3 from 6 weeks. BMP 4 was expressed in the group 1 from 2 weeks, in the group 2 and the group 3 from 4 weeks. 4. There was no significant difference in expression pattern of BMP 7, PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-${\beta}$1 during grafted bone regeneration in group 1, 2, and 3. According to our results, PEMF stimulation could be effective on the new bome formation in animal study, and have a feasibility of clinical use.

치조골은 치아의 치배와 치근의 발육에 따라 발달하고 치아의 맹출에 따라 골침착이 계속된다. 골의 성분은 끊임없이 소실되고 다시 첨가되며 균형이 깨지는 경우 치조골의 흡수 또는 과다 침착이 일어난다. 교정치료에 의한 치아의 재위치시 치조골의 흡수로 인한 치조골높이의 상실이 나타날 수 있으며 이의 평가를 위한 여러 선학들의 연구가 시도되었다. 임상연구방법중 재현성과 규격성이 가능한 방사선사진을 이용하게 되었고 그중 치조골의 변화에 관한 객관적인 평가를 위한 구치부의 교익사진을 사용하게 되었다. 교정치료 전후에 치조골높이가 어느 정도의 변화를 나타내는지를 알아보기 위해 치료전 구치부의 관계가 Cl I인 10-13세(평균 12.2세)아동을 대상으로 구강내 상태가 양호하며 선천적 결손이 없으며 심한 치주질환이나 전신질환이 없고, 치료전후의 교익사진이 있는 환자를 무작위로 총 20명을 축출하여 연구대상으로하였고 상하악 좌우측의 견치, 소구치, 구치부의 치아의 이동량, 장축의 변화와 치주높이의 변화를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 상하악좌우측의 견치, 소구치, 구치부의 치아의 이동량, 장축의 변화와 치주높이의 변화량을 나타내는 계측치의 평균 표준편차와 중앙값을 구하였다. 2. 상하악좌우측의 치조골의 높이의 치료전후 계측치비교시 거의 모든 계측치에서 하악보다는 상악에서 변화량이 크게 나타났다. 3. 근원심간의 비교시 3D3과 4M3은 상하 좌우측 모두 원심측이 4M3과 4D3은 근심측이, 4D3과 5M3은 원심측이, 5M3과 5D3은 근심측이, 5D3과 6M3은 근심측이 변화량이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 4. 상하악좌우측의 견치, 소구치, 구치부의 치아의 이동량(TX,TY)과 장축의 변화 (A)를 나타내는 계측항목의 비교시 좌우측 모두 상악의 34TX, 34TY, 34A가 크게 나타났고 이 부위의 치조골높이의 변화가 다른 부위에 비해 컸다.정중구개봉합부를 급속확장시킨 후 신생골 형성은 보정 14일이 지난 후부터 관찰되기 시작하였으며, 보정 28일이 지난 후에는 신생골형성이 훨씬 왕성하게 진행되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다.위 판별식으로 본 연구대상을 판별한 결과, 전체정판별률은 $92.86\%$였다.왜소치가 발견되지 않았다. 작은 군(S군)사이에 수평적 골격관계는 차이가 없으나 수직적 골격관계는 L군이 S군에 비해 하악골이 하방으로 많이 성장한 경향을 보여주었다. 하지만 성인 남자군인 G2군에서는 이부비율에 따른 안면골격의 뚜렷한 형태적 차이를 보여주지 않았다.교하면 bisphosphonate는 indomethacin에 비해 골흡수 억제효과가 더 크며 투여시간에 따른 제약도 더 적은 것으로 사료된다.ubstance P는 인간의 치주인대세포에서 교원질 합성을 억제하였다. 이 효과는 procollagen mRNA와 gelatinase 생성의 정상(steady-state) 수준의 변화 때문이 아니라 prostaglandin 생성과 연관이 있음을 알았다.EX>는 골기질의 주성분인 type I 교원질의 합성을 선택적으로 억제하는 기능과 alkaline phosphatase의 활성을 크게 증가시키지 못한 점 등으로 미루어 볼 때, 골개조를 억제하는 방향으로 작용한다고 볼 수 있으며, 교정치료 과정중 골개조를 억제하는 부위에서 사용을 시도해 볼 수 있겠다.>신뢰구간은 상악에서 정상교합군은 $79.5-81.0\%$, 비발치군은 $81.6-84.9\%$, 발치군은 $70.1-72.2\%$로 나타났으며, 하악에서 정상교합군은 $79.8-82.2\%$, 비발치군은 $82.1-85.5\%$, 발치군은 $73.1-75.1\%$로 나타났다. 7. 최대치아근원심폭경합, 기저악궁폭경,

치조파열 및 구개열과 같은 선천성 기형은 이환된 환자에게 기능적, 심미적으로 많은 문제점을 야기하므로 정상으로 회복시켜 주는 것은 중요한 문제이다. 장기간 방치될 경우 영양장애, 구강위생 불량, 호흡기 감염, 언어 장애, 악안면 변형, 그리고 정신적인 문제 등이 복합적으로 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 구순구개열 환자의 치료는 여러 전문 치료 분야의 복합적 인 접근이 필요하다. 골이식은 구순구개열 환자에 있어 중요한 치과치료 단계이다. 치아의 맹출과 치열의 안정화를 위해 치열궁은 골결손이 없이 완전해져야 한다. 또한 치열궁의 파열이 있는 부위로는 정상적인 교정적 치아이동이 곤란하다. 따라서 구순구개열 환자에 있어 골이식은 광범위하게 적용되고 있는 외과적 술식이다. 치조골을 이식함으로써 치조열은 안정화되고, 견치 또는 절치가 이식부위로 이동할 수 있게 된다. 그리고 골 이식 후, 교정을 통해 치조열 부위의 공간을 폐쇄함으로써 보철치료 없이 치열을 재형성 할 수 있다. 골이식술에는 다양한 이식재료가 사용되었다. 자가골을 이식할 경우 장골이 가장 선호되며, 그밖에 경골, 늑골, 두개골, 하악골을 이용하기도 한다. 그리고 골이식은 골이식 시기에 따라 일차골이식, 조기 이차골이식, 이차골이식, 만기 이차골이식으로 구분할 수 있다. 이차골이식은 혼합치열기 말경에 시행되는 것을 말하며 가장 좋은 것으로 받아들여지고 있다. 영구 견치가 맹출되기 전에 이차골이식을 시행하면 인접치아의 맹출과 보존에 도움이 된다. 본 증례에서는 치조구개파열 환자의 장골에서 골을 채취하여 골 이식을 시행한 후, 골이 채워진 이식 부위에 인접 치아가 성공적으로 이동하거나 치축이 개선되고 교정치료를 통해 치열궁 배열의 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

완전 구강 회복이란 구강 내 잔존치아와 결손치아를 수복하여 구강의 건강, 기능 및 아름다움을 개선하고 구강악계의 다른 조직과 조화되도록 회복시켜주는 것을 말한다. 다수 치아가 상실될 경우 환자의 교합평면은 점차 붕괴되어 가며 수직고경이 감소될 수 있다. 감소된 수직고경은 악관절 및 저작근에 잠재적인 병인이 될 수 있으므로 수직고경 증가를 동반한 보철수복이 요구된다. 본 증례 환자는 68세 여환으로, 현재 사용 중인 가철성 국소의치가 파절되어 식사가 불가능한 상태로 보철치료를 통해 저작기능 회복과 마모 치아의 심미적 개선을 주소로 내원하였다. 수직 고경의 상실을 디지털 치과 기술을 사용하였다. 디지털 분석 단계에서 CAD 소프트웨어를 사용하여 교합면을 설정하고 여러 기준을 사용하여 평가하였다. CBCT 영상을 사용하여 악안면계 해부학적 구조물과 치아의 위치를 정렬하여 환자의 상태를 3차원으로 시각화하여 가상으로 치료 계획을 세울 수 있었다. 가상으로 정렬한 가상 페이스보우를 실물 교합기로 옮겨와서 한번 더 진단 분석하였다. 평가 후, 임시보철물을 제작하여 환자가 이상 없이 적응하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 최종 보철물로 이행하였다. 본 증례를 통해 수직고경이 감소된 68세의 여성 환자에서 가철성 국소의치를 동반한 완전구강회복으로 기능적, 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Introduction: This study evaluated the capability of silk fibroin (SF) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 loaded SF (SF-BMP) as a bone defect replacement matrix when grafted in a calvarial bone defect of rats in vivo. Materials and Methods: A total 70 calvarial critical size defects (5.0 mm in diameter) made on 35 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The defects were transplanted with (1) rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft (SF-BMP: 0.8+$10\;{\mu}g$), (2) Silk fibroin (SF: $10\;{\mu}g$), and (3) no graft material (Raw). The samples were evaluated with soft x-rays, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium/phosphate quantification, histological and histomorphometric analysis at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. Results: The SF-BMP group ($48.86{\pm}14.92%$) had a significantly higher mean percentage bone area than the SF group ($24.96{\pm}11.01%$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) In addition, the SF-BMP group ($40.01{\pm}12.43%$) had a higher % bone area at postoperative 8 weeks than the SF group ($33.26{\pm}5.15%$). The mean ratio of gray scale levels to the host bone showed that the SF-BMP group ($0.67{\pm}0.08$) had a higher mean ratio level than the SF group ($0.61{\pm}0.09$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.168 and P=0.243, respectively) The ratio of the calcium and phosphate contents of the SF-BMP ($0.93{\pm}0.22$) group was lower than that of the SF ($1.90{\pm}1.42$) group at postoperative 4 weeks. However, the SF-BMP group ($0.75{\pm}0.31$) had a higher Ca/$PO_4$ ratio than the SF ($0.68{\pm}0.04$) at postoperative 8 weeks. These differences were not statistically significant.(P=0.126 and P=0.627, respectively) For the bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, which is recognized as a reliable indicator of the osteoblast function, the SF-BMP ($23.71{\pm}8.60\;U/L$) groups had a significantly higher value than the SF group ($12.65{\pm}6.47\;U/L$) at postoperative 4 weeks.(P<0.05) At postoperative 8 weeks, the SF-BMP ($21.65{\pm}10.02\;U/L$) group had a lower bone-specific ALP activity than the SF group ($16.72{\pm}7.35\;U/L$). This difference was not statistically significant.(P=0.263) For the histological evaluation, the SF-BMP group revealed less inflammation, lower foreign body reactions and higher bone healing than the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks. The SF group revealed more foreign body reactions at postoperative 4 weeks. However, this immunogenic reaction decreased and the remnant of grafted material was observed at postoperative 8 weeks. For histomorphometric analysis, the SF-BMP group had a significantly longer bone length to total length ratio than those of the SF group at postoperative 4 and 8 weeks.(P<0.05) Conclusion: The rhBMP-2 loaded silk fibroin graft revealed fewer immunoreactions and inflammation as well as more new bone formation than the pure silk fibroin graft. Therefore, silk fibroin may be a candidate scaffold for tissue engineered bone regeneration.
