The developmental process of a tooth is being presented as an important study subject to analyze formation of normal dental arch and tooth. The purpose of this study was to see the formation of tooth from a tooth bud transplanted in a white rat regarding that the jawbone could be used as a new donor site of a trasplant. The first molar of a matured white rat was extracted and the tooth bud of a 13.5 day rat embryo was transplanted. The histological and radiographical results after 4 and 8 weeks respectively are as the following. 1. Calcification in dentin, cementum, pulp and periodontal ligament was formed from the tooth bud transplanted in the alveolar socket. 2. The development of hard and soft tissue was delayed compared to the normal tooth formation and abnormal histologic features such as ankylosis and osteodentin were found. 3. The formed hard tissue did not erupt into the jaw within 8 weeks.

Forced orthodontic eruption(FOE) is a non-surgical treatment approach that allows augmenting both soft- and hard-tissue profiles of potential implant sites, by forced orthodontic extrusion of "hopeless" teeth and their periodontal apparatus. By stretching the gingival and periodontal ligament fibers during extrusion, tension is imparted to the entire alveolar socket, stimulating osseous apposition at the alveolar crest. FOE increases the width of the attached gingiva, and the mucogingival junction remains stable when the gingival margin migrates coronally. Based on these effects, FOE of non-restorable teeth prior to implant placement is a viable alternative to conventional surgical augmentative procedures in implant site development. The aim of this case report is to describes coronal soft-tissue augmentation around fractured teeth, which was achieved by FOE before implant placement.

A special mesenchymal tissue layer called perichondrium has a chondrogenic capacity and is a candidate tissue for engineering of cartilage. To overcome limited potential for chondrocyte proliferation and re-absorption, we studied a method of cartilage tissue engineering comprising chondrocyte-hydrogel pluronic complex (CPC) and cultured perichondrial cell sheet (cPCs) which entirely cover CPC. For effective cartilage regeneration, cell-sheet engineering technique of high-density culture was used for fabrication of cPCs. Hydrogel pluronic as a biomimetic cell carrier used for stable and maintains the chondrocytes. The human cPCs was cultured as a single layer and entirely covered CPC. The tissue engineered constructs were implanted into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue pocket on nude mice (n = 6). CPC without cPCs were used as a controls (N = 6). Engineered cartilage specimens were harvested at 12 weeks after implantation and evaluated with gross morphology and histological examination. Biological analysis was also performed for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and type II collagen. Indeed, we performed additional in vivo studies of cartilage regeneration using canine large fullthickness chondrial defect model. The dogs were allocated to the experimental groups as treated chondrocyte sheets with perichondrial cell sheet group (n = 4), and chondrocyte sheets only group (n = 4). The histological and biochemical studies performed 12 weeks later as same manners as nude mouse but additional immunofluorescence study. Grossly, the size of cartilage specimen of cPCs covered group was larger than that of the control. On histological examination, the specimen of cPCs covered group showed typical characteristics of cartilage tissue. The contents of GAG and type II collagen were higher in cPCs covered group than that of the control. These studies demonstrated the potential of such CPC/cPCs constructs to support chondrogenesis in vivo. In conclusion, the method of cartilage tissue engineering using cPCs supposed to be an effective method with higher cartilage tissue gain. We suggest a new method of cartilage tissue engineering using cultured perichondrial cell sheet as a promising strategy for cartilage tissue reconstruction.

Purpose: To present our experience with soft tissue reconstruction using anterolateral thigh free flap after resection of soft tissue sarcoma. Materials and Methods: Between January of 2003 and June of 2007, we treated 7 patients with soft tissue reconstruction using anterolateral thigh free flap after wide resection for soft tissue sarcoma. We retrospectively analyzed type and size of tumors, resection margin, size of defect after resection, time of operation, flap survival and complication. Results: The type of sarcoma was 3 synovial sarcoma, 2 malignant fibrous histiocytoma, 1 leimyosarcoma and 1 fibrosarcoma. The size of tumor varied from $3{\times}5\;cm$ to $7{\times}8\;cm$. The resection margins of tumors were negative in all cases. The size of soft tissue defect after resection varied from $6{\times}8\;cm$ to $15{\times}10\;cm$. The mean time of operation was 3.6 hours. All flaps were survived. Conclusion: Anterolateral thigh free flap appear to be ideal for reconstruction after wide resection of soft tissue sarcoma.

Hemifacial microsomia is a term used to describe a facial anomalies caused by the defect of anatomic structures originated from the first and the second branchial arches. The defect area encompasses some facial areas including mandible, facial muscles, masticatory muscles, cranial nerves, auricles, etc., and the degree of manifestations of the anomalies is extmely diverse. A 20-year-old man complaining of facial asymmetry and malocclusion visited our hospital. An orthognathic surgery was performed for the correction of hard tissue anomalies and then autogenous dermis-fat autotransplantation was done for the improvement of remaining soft tissue defect. The result was esthetically good and the case was presented here.

Median cleft of the lower lip and/or mandible is a rare congenital anomaly, first mentioned by Couronne in 1819. Monroe(1966), Fujino(1970), Ranta(1984) and Oostrom(1996) conducted comprehensive reviews and list cases in literature. Median cleft varies greatly, from a simple vermilion notch to a complete cleft of the lip involving the tongue, the chin, the mandible, the supporting structures of the median of the neck, and the manubrium sterni. The associated anomalies include ankyloglossia, cleft tongue, neck contraction, heart lesion, absence of hyoid bone, and so on. The etiology of median cleft is unknown. Various possibilities, such as failure of mesodermal penetration into the midline, failure of fusion of mandibular processes, external factors apart from the embryogenic pattern such as pressure, position in utero, circulatory failure caused placental adhesion, diseases in pregnancy, and so on, have been discussed. A 8-year-old girl was referred to the Dept. of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital and had been aware of the fact that at birth "she had something wrong with her mouth." Shortly after birth she had been examined by a plastic surgeon and at that time surgical procedure had been performed to release the tongue from the lower jaw and lip at local hospital. On admission, she had a slight notching of lower lip and two fibrous frenum ran from the lip along the ventral surface of the tongue, diastema between her mandibular central incisors, and slightly constricted bifid mandible associated independent movement of the two halves of mandible. The patient had autogenous iliac bone graft to reconstruct the mandibular midline defect. The postoperative result was uneventful. In future, the correction of the soft tissue deformities such as notching of the lower lip and partial ankyloglossia will be required for the esthetic and functional improvement.

This study was to determine the effects of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol on the attenuation of an ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after renal auto-transplantation in a pig model. In the treatment group, three pigs were subjected to a renal auto-transplantation followed by the administration of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol and the flushing of ascorbic acid plus hepa-saline solution. Otherwise, the control group used only flushing of hepa-saline solution. Blood samples were collected from these pigs for measurement of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine values on the day before surgery and day 1, 3, 5 and 7 after surgery. The kidneys were taken for histopathological evaluation following euthanasia on day 14 after surgery. Serum creatinine and BUN values showed a significantly difference between control and treatment group on day 1, 3 and 5 (P<0.05). In histopathologic findings, treatment group showed less damage than that of the control group on the basis of renal tubular damage. As a result, this study suggests that the exogenous ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol pretreatment therapy with ascorbic acid irrigation-aspiration has a role of attenuation of renal I/R injury and recovery of renal function in a pig transplantation model.
