Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term encompassing a group of non-progressive non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development. Motor disorder of cerebral palsy is often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, behavior and seizure disorder. Disharmony of motor function leads to frequent falling down. Moreover patients have high prevalence of class II malocclusion. Compared to normal patients, the patients with cerebral palsy tends to have high prevalence of recurrent trauma and bruxism which make restoration of the anterior tooth more difficult. This case report is consisted of three cases of cerebral palsy patients who have challenging problems with restoration of anterior teeth.

Haddad syndrome, the association of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD), is a disease caused by mutation of PHOX2B gene. This disease, which occurs very rarely worldwide, is characterized by adequate ventilation during wakefulness and hypoventilation during sleep due to decreased ventilatory sensitivity. In this case report, we report a case of dental treatment under general anesthesia in a child with Haddad syndrome. A 3-year-old child with Haddad syndrome visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital for dental treatment. Dental treatment was planned under general anesthesia because of his medical condition. Treatment was successfully done without any postoperative complications. This case suggests that general anesthesia may be advantageous for dental treatment due to the risk of respiratory depression in a child with Haddad syndrome.

최근 중합효소연쇄반응을 이용한 분자생물학적 유전자분석기술의 발달로 성염색체상의 유전좌위 증폭을 통한 성별감정이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그중 사람 Y염색체상에 존재하는 남성 고환의 형성을 유도하는 sex-determining region Y(SRY) gene이 규명되어 유전질환의 조기 발견이나 예방 및 태아의 성별판정 등에 응용되고 있다. 그러나, 치아는 외부 환경에 대한 저항성이 가장 높은 장기로 성별감정 등 법의치과학적 개인식별에 널리 이용되고 있음에도 불구하고, SRY 유전자를 이용하여 치아에서의 성별감정에 대한 연구는 시도된 바 없다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 사람 치아에서 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용한 SRY 유전자를 검출하여 성별판정에 용용하고자 하였다. 남녀 각각 20개 치아의 치수와 상아질에서 DNA를 추출하여 중합효소연쇄반응 을 시행하고 SRY 유전자를 검색한 결과, 남성에서는 치수 13개중 8개, 상아질 7개중 4개에서 SRY 유전자가 검출되었고, 여생에서는 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 중합효소연쇄반응법을 이용하여 사람 치아에서 SRY 유전자를 검색할 때, 남성판별에 유용하고 치아를 이용한 성별감정시 기존의 성별감정에 이용되고 있는 다른 유전자와 함께 SRY 유전자를 검색함으로써 성별감정의 신뢰도를 높힐 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: This study was designed to examine the effects of oral health behaviors and use of dental clinics on periodontal diseases in women, the purpose of this study is to provide basic information to develop program for dental health promotion in young women. Methods: We conducted a survey targeting 486 women that agreed with the survey and were going to dental clinic from October 1, 2013 to October 18, 2013. We surveyed them by self-administered questionnaire and analyzed it by SPSS Win 19.0 program. Results: 1. For differences in periodontitis according to general characteristics, if th age is high, ratio of periodontitis is high. Married woman is higher than single one in ratio of periodontitis. Also the more number of birth, the higher ratio of periodontitis is.(p<.05) 2. For differences of periodontitis by dental care behavior, ratio of periodontitis of non-smokers is significantly low. For one that brush one's teeth broadside, the ratio of periodontitis is high.(p<.05) 3. For differences of periodontitis by use of dental clinic service, ratio of periodontitis of one that have more times visit to a dental clinic, more annual average cost for dental care, and regular dental check-ups is relatively low.(p<.05). 4. For determinant factors influencing on periodontitis, ratio of periodontitis of one that is old, have more stress, have a low level of education, and have preventive dental care is high. Ratio of periodontitis of one that have less toothbrushing and brush one's teeth after having lunch or a snack and before sleeping is significantly low. Conclusions: From this study, dental health behavior as the factor influencing on periodontitis of young women is statistically meaningful. Because this dental health behavior has a lot of potential to be improved by government and local community efforts such as education and social support, we think that systematic and various educational program development is needed to strengthen self dental care ability effectively with policy support.

The purpose of this study was to established the characteristic radiographic features in salivary gland diseases by means of sialography and scintigraphy. Sialograms and scintigrams with diseases of salivary gland were examined. In this group were 5 salivary stones, 14 sialadenitis, 17 Sjogren's syndromes and 8 benign tumors. The obtained results were as follows; 1. In the configuration of the shape of main duct, those revealed that modified curvilinear and curvilinear types were predominant in Sjogren's syndromes but reverse sigmoid and angular types were in sialolithiasis and sialadenitis combined with sialodochitis. 2. In the configuration of the course of main duct, those revealed that smooth types were predominant in sialadenitis and irregular types were predominant in Sjogren's syndromes and benign tumors and irregular types were seen in all salivary stones and sialadenitis combined with sialodochitis, 3. In the type of intraglandular pattern, those revealed that destructive changes of salivary duct system and parenchyma were severe in sialadenitis and salivary stones and predominantly severe in Sjogren's syndromes. 4. The function of salivary gland was decreased severely in Sjogren's syndrome. and also decrease in salivary stone and sialadenitis. In benign tumor, the uptake of radioisotope was not seen in lesion and the function of salivary gland decreased in its remaining normal parenchyma.

Dental Pulp Stem Cells are superior to other types of adult stem cell. Because of teeth are easy to access and are extracted throughout life. A supernumerary tooth is an important clinical problem found in various populations of the world. The incidence of supernumerary teeth varies depending on the literature source. Pediatric dentists are routinely extracted them. However, no studies have been reported regarding Dental Pulp stem cells in a supernumerary tooth, and we failed to note that a valuable source of human stem cell. Herein, we tried to show that a supernumerary tooth contains cells that display the characteristic features of stem cells.

SOX9과 SRY 유전자는 척추동물에서 남성고환의 형성을 유도하는 요소로 알려졌다. SOX9 유전자는 SRY related HMG box gene중 하나로 유전질환의 XY성전환 및 성을 결정하는 데에 관여하며 성결정시기에 그 양에 따른 성전환 발생등 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이 유전자가 성별판정에 유용할 지는 확실치 않다. 반면 SRY 유전자는 포유동물에서의 배형성시기 고환형성을 결정하는 Y염색체 유전자로 남성에만 존재하고 여성에는 존재 않는다. 현재까지 이을 이용하여 법의학적 검체에서 남성판별에 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 X, Y와 같은 성염색체가 아닌 상동염색체상에 있으면서 SRY 유전자와 더불어 남성고환을 결정하는 또다른 요소로서의 기능을 가진 SOX9 유전자를 치아에서 검출하여 법의학적 성별판정에 유용할 수 있는지 알아보고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 남녀각각 5개의 치아에서 치수와 상아질을 분리한 후 DNA를 추출하여 SOX9과 SRY 유전자의 특이적인 시발체를 제작하고 중합효소연쇄반응을 시행하여 증폭하고 전기영동을 시행하였다. 그 결과 SOX9 유전자는 남녀모두에서 유전자가 검출되었고, SOX9 유전자산물과 SRY 유전자를 혼합하여 사용시 남자에서만 유전자가 검출되었다. 이는 법의치과학적 성별판정에 있어 SOX9 유전자는 사람의 치아에서는 남녀 모두 존재하며 남녀 구별을 위한 성별판정에는 이용할 수 없으며 SRY 유전자와 함께 적용시 남성 특이적 SRY 유전자 검사중 발생할 수 있는 가성 음성 반응여부를 확인하는 데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
