통상적인 근관형성 과정에서 근관형태의 직선화 경향을 발견할 수 있으며, 그 결과 만곡이 심한 근관에서 이상적인 근관형태를 얻기가 어렵다. 이를 극복하기 위한 많은 기구들과 근관 성형법들이 개선되고 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근에 개발된 직사각형의 단면을 가지는 stainless steel file인 RT file과 Flex-R file, K-file을 이용하여 만곡근관 형성 후 최종 근관형태를 비교하여 각 file을 평가하고자 한다. 본 실험은 Bramante등의 방법을 변형하여 술 전의 근관형태와 술 후의 근관형태를 비교하였다. Schneider의 방법을 변형하여 3차원적 만곡을 계산하여 12도에서 36도 이내에 만곡도를 가진 근관을 선택하였다. 49개의 발거된 상악대구치 협측근관이나 하악대구치 근심근관을 3개의 군으로 나누고 레진과 플라스틱으로 제작된 mold에 투명한 교정용 레진으로 매몰하였다. 근첨에서 2.5, 5, 8mm지점에서 절단하여 각 mold에서 재조립한 후 다음과 같이 근관형성을 시행하였다. 제 1군은 SS K-file을 이용하여 step-back 방법 ; 제 2군은 Flex-R file을 이용하여 balanced force 방법 ; 제 3군은 RT file을 이용하여 step-back 방법으로 근관 형성하였다. 술 전과 술 후에 각 시편들을 체현미경으로 사진촬영하여 근관 중심 위치 이동률, 근관형성으로 삭제된 상아질양, 근관형성 후 모양을 Sigma scan/ image software program으로 계산하고 One way ANOVA로 통계적 유의성을 검증하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. RT file이 치근단에서 K-file보다 유의성 있게 근관의 중심을 유지하는 것으로 보였다. 치아 중앙부에서는 RT file과 Flex-R file이 K-file에 대해 유의성 있게 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 2. 근관형성 후 삭제된 상아질양에서는 치근단에서 RT file이 적게 나왔으나 유의성은 없었다. 3. 근관형성 후 절단면 모양은 원형, 타원형, 불규칙한 형태들이 다양하게 나타났고 각 군간에 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다.

New techniques for regenerating the destructed periodontal tissue have been studied for many years. Current acceptable methods of promoting periodontal regeneration alre basis of removal of diseased soft tissue, root treatment, guided tissue regeneration, graft materials, biological mediators. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of polypeptide growth factor. PDGF have been reported as a biological mediator which regulate activities of wound healing progress including cell proliferation, migration, and metabolism. The purposes of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using the PDGF as a regeneration promoting agent for furcation involvement defect. Eight adult mongrel dogs were used in this experiment. The dogs were anesthetized with Pentobarbital Sodium (25-30 mg/kg of body weight, Tokyo chemical Co., Japan) and conventional periodontal prophylaxis were performed with ultrasonic scaler. With intrasulcular and crestal incision, mucoperiosteal flap was elevated. Following decortication with 1/2 high speed round bur, degree III furcation defect was made on mandibular second(P2) and fourth(P4) premolar. For the basic treatment of root surface, fully saturated citric acid was applied on the exposed root surface for 3 minutes. On the right P4 20ug of human recombinant PDGF-BB dissolved in acetic acid was applied with polypropylene autopipette. On the left P2 and right P2 PDGF-BB was applied after insertion of ${\beta}-Tricalcium$ phosphate(TCP) and collagen (Collatape) respectively. Left mandibular P4 was used as control. Systemic antibiotics (Penicillin-G benzathine and penicillin-G procaine, 1 ml per 10-25 1bs body weight) were administrated intramuscular for 2 weeks after surgery. Irrigation with 0.1% Chlorhexidine Gluconate around operated sites was performed during the whole experimental period except one day immediate after surgery. Soft diets were fed through the whole experiment period. After 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, the animals were sacrificed by perfusion technique. Tissue block was excised including the tooth and prepared for light microscope with H-E staining. At 2 weeks after surgery, therer were rapid osteogenesis phenomenon on the defected area of the PDGF only treated group and early trabeculation pattern was made with new osteoid tissue produced by activated osteoblast. Bone formation was almost completed to the fornix of furcation by 8 weeks after surgery. New cementum fromation was observed from 2 weeks after surgery, and the thickness was increased until 8 weeks with typical Sharpey’s fibers reembedded into new bone and cementum. In both PDGF-BB with TCP group and PDGF-BB with Collagen group, regeneration process including new bone and new cementum formation and the group especially in the early weeks. It might be thought that the migration of actively proliferating cells was prohibited by the graft materials. In conclusion, platelet-derived growth factor can promote rapid osteogenesis during early stage of periodontal tissue regeneration.

In a primary teeth, dental caries is rapidly advanced the pulp disease, because the primary teeth have the thinner and the weaker enamel layer and the wider pulp chamber than relatively the permanent teeth. And the pulps of primary teeth are exposed during caries removal or even they are exposed by unexpected movement of the children or by trauma. For successive pulp treatment in primary teeth, it is necessary to understand completely about multiple canal morphology, variation of root canal anatomy and specific problem related to root formation and resorption of primary teeth. In upper primary molar, canal configuration of mesial root has the most variation same as upper molar. If not canal treatment is completely, most of all endodontic treatment should be failed. In a clinical case report, upper primary molars existed persistent pain or bleeding during treatment were founded the second MB canal and were performed the endodontic treatment of theirs. As a result, the upper primary molars have no symptom and good prognosis. In the examination of extracted upper primary molar, we found that 8 of 35 teeth(22.8%) in the upper primary first molars and 22 of 33 teeth(66.6%) in the upper primary second molar had the second mesiobuccal canal. It has revealed the high prevalence of two canals in mesiobuccal roots of upper primary molars. The frequency of occurrence of the second mesiobuccal canal must be taken into consideration when endodontic treatment is planned and as a possible cause of otherwise un explained failure.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between morphology and position of deciduous double teeth, and the occurrence of other dental anomalies in the same subject. Four morphological types were indentified according to Ailing's classification: type I, bifid crown-single root; type II, large crown-large root; type III, two fused crowns-single root; type IV, two fused crowns-two fused roots. Fifty-four double teeth were found in a total of 1,803 children, who had visited Wonkwang university hospital for dental treatment from January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003. All of these children were examined clinically and intra-oral radiographs were taken. The results were as follows; 1. 49 children(2.7%) had more than one double teeth, 5 of these children had two double teeth on the bilateral side. And one child showed triple teeth which has three crowns and three roots. 2. Double teeth were predominantly situated in the anterior region, with a preference for the mandible. The ratio of cases involving central incisor and lateral incisor was higher than other cases. 3. There were 25 cases(46.2%) of missing successors among 54 cases of the double teeth. And, prevalence of the missing teeth was highest in the cases involving maxillary central incisor and lateral incisor. 4. In the case of type II(large crown-large root) had more missing successors.

Morphology of primary root divergency and curvature determines the pattern of root resorption and periapical lesion, and affects successful root canal treatment. With the purpose of analysing the morphology of primary mandibular second molar roots and canals, the frequency, angle, radius, and start of curvature of the canal were measured. Fifty clinical radiographs were taken from $3{\sim}6$ years old children, followed by digitizing after scanning and analyzing by Scion image Beta 4.02TM(Scion Co. USA). The angle of curvature was determined by Schneider's method and the radius of curvature was determined by Schaefer's method. The results were as follows: 1. The angle of curvatures were $17.3^{\circ}{\pm}5.0$ (mesial), and $27.9^{\circ}{\pm}6.0$ (distal). Distal curvature was significantly larger than mesial.(p<0.05) 2. The radius of curvatures were $8.7mm{\pm}2.5$ (mesial), and $5.8\;mm{\pm}1.5$ (distal). Mesial curvature was significantly larger than distal.(p<0.05) 3. The start of curvatures were $4.1mm{\pm}0.6$ (mesial), and $4.2mm{\pm}0.6$ (distal). There were no difference between two groups. (P<0.05)

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of indomethancin on physiologic root resorption and to examine the dental pulp and tissue changes around the resorbing teeth 13-14 week old six mongrel dogs were divided into 3 groups, two experimental groups administered indomethacin 2mg/kg/day and 8mg/kg/day orally two times a day for 14 days respectively. and control group administered a placebo The deciduous incisors showing root resorption were selected. fixed for 24 hrs in $10\%$ formalin solution. demineralized in $10\%$ EDTA solution. Invested in paraffin and sectioned in $5{\mu}m$ thick sections. The preparations were stained with H&E staining and Masson's trichrome staining and examined under the light microscope Observation revealed that deciduous root resorbing tissue resembles inflammatory tissue and accompanies bore remodelling. The dental pulp was formal except the area near root resorption. well organized columnar odontoblasts layer under the predentin, anud the odontoblasts near root resorption were cuboidal or flat cells in the disrupted layer under the predentin. Indomethacin administered group showed a partial decrease in the number of odontoclasts and nucleus But there was no sign of pulp change by indomethacin. These results suggest that indomethacin inhibits recruitment of odontoclasts partially and that of osteoclasts more. and so when it is administered for long periods deciduous root resorption can be delayed and eruption of the successor can be delayed for a short period.
