The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of laser doppler flowmeter output associated with stage of root development. Laser Doppler Flowmeter was done in 40 elementary students aged between 7 and 8 years and in 20 adults aged between 23 and 24 years. Among 40 elementary students, 20 had apical foramens with $1{\sim}2mm$ diameters and another 20 had ones with larger diameters than 2mm. The LDF values were analyzed with ANOVA and paired t-test. The results were as follows. 1. Immature root apecies group had a higher tendency than mature root apecies group in LDF values, but there was no statistical significance (p>0.05). 2. There was no statistical significance in LDF values comparing groups with immature root apecies (p>0.05). 3. There were no significant differences between right and left central incisors in LDF values (p>0.05).

Various diagnostic methods, such as electric pulp test, cold test, test cavity etc., have been used to determine the pulp vitality. At least two or more methods should be used with supplemental information to diagnose each case because using one method doesn't provide sufficient accuracy. These conventional methods have depended on nervous responses, but Laser Doppler Flowmeter determines the pulp vitality by measuring pulpal blood flow. In this case, we tested the vitality of the traumatized teeth with incomplete root apices and autotransplanted teeth with conventional methods and Laser Doppler Flowmeter. Conventional methods, such as electric pulp test and cold test can produce various responses according to the development state of the pulpal nerve and the sensory threshold of the patient. But, Laser Doppler Flowmeter has a lower false response rate than any other pulp vitality test methods and it can determine the vitality somewhat earlier than the other method.

최근 침투형 우수유출저감시설은 물 순환 및 초기우수관리 문제, 치수 목적으로 사용이 증대되고 있으며, 시설 확대를 위한 관련 법규나 기준이 강화되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 호우사상에 대한 침투통의 저감효과를 분석하여 우수유출저감시설로써 적용성과 치수효과를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있으며, 연구방법으로는 실제 호우사상에 대해 침투통의 현장계측을 이용하여 유출 저감율을 측정하고, 수문해석에 의해 저감효과를 분석하였다. 현장계측을 실시한 전주지역의 2005년 8월 2일 호우사상은 290.5mm를 나타냈으며, 이 강우량은 $\ulcorner$한국확률강우량도(한국건설기술연구원, 2000)$\lrcorner$에 의한 전주관측소 50년 빈도 24시간 확률강우량 287.7mm를 초과하는 값으로 분석되었다. 이 때, 총유출저감율은 약 56%로 측정되었으며, 유역특성이 비슷한 지역에서는 해당 강우량에 대해 유사한 저감효과를 나타낼 것으로 판단된다. HEC-HMS와 단위침투설계법을 이용하여 수문해석을 실시하였으며, 동일한 호우사상 자료를 적용한 결과, 총유출저감량은 20.64%, 최대 첨두유량은 6%의 저감율을 나타냈다. 향후 지속적인 모니터링과 첨두유량에 대한 연구가 보완되고 호우사상에 대한 계측자료가 추가로 확보된다면 호우사상에 대한 침투통의 치수효과를 정량화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The effect of concentration as factor in cytotoxicity, protein synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity was compared for pulpotomy medicaments (formaldehyde, formocresol, paraformaldehyde, ferric sulfate) Human pulp fibroblasts were exposed to a range of concentrations(0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, $1.00{\mu}l/ml$) of each agents, for period of 24hrs. The cell activities were evaluated by MTT assay, protein assay and alkaline phosphatase activity examination. The results as follows : 1. After 24hrs culture, pulp fibroblasts adding formaldehyde, formocresol and paraformaldehyde were suppressed cell activities with concentration increasing, but, no depression of cell activities by ferric sulfate. No significant difference was in formaldehyde, formocresol and paraformaldehyde. 2. Protein synthesis by pulpotomy agents were not significant difference in pulp fibroblasts but protein synthesis were a little decreased by paraformaldehyde. 3. Alkaline phosphatase activity was a little decreased by pulpotomy medicaments.

The purpose of this Study was to invest)gate the function or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in regulatory mechanism of pulpal microcirculation with the aim of elucidating neurogenic inflammation. Experiments were performed on twelve cats under general anesthesia. CGRP was administered through the femoral vein to see the systemic Influence and through the external carotid artery to see the local effect. Sympathetic nerve to the dental pulp was stimulated electrically and pulpal blood flow (PBF) was measured with a laser Doppler flowmeter on the canine teeth to the drug administration. The paired variables of control and experimental data were compared by paired t-test and differences with p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Systemic administration of CGRP $(0.3{\mu}g/ka)$ exerted decreases in systemic blood pressure and caused changes in PBF with an initial increase i311owed by decrease and a move marked second increase and decrease. Close intra-arterial (i.a.) injection of CCRP $(0.03{\mu}g/kg)$ resulted in slight PBF increase. The effect of CGRP resulted in no significant increase in PBF in the presence of $CGRP_{8-37}$. The electrical stimulation of the sympathetic nerve alone resulted in PBF decreases. The j.a. administration of CGRP following the electrical stimulation of the sympathetic nerve compensated the decreased PBF. Therefore, CGRP effectively blocked the sympathetic nerve stimulation-induced PBF decrease. Results of the present study have provided evidences that even though the local vasodilatory function of CGRP are weak, CCRP is effectively involved in blocking the vasoconstriction caused by sympathetic nerve stimulation in the feline dental pulp.

In this study, 40 hypersensitive teeth of 19 patients were investigated. The procedures performed were as follows: Before desensitization, EPT at occlusal third of buccal surface was done for the evaluation of pulp vitality and the EPT value was recorded for the reference value. And mechanical and thermal test was executed for the test of hypersensitivity. If the tooth responded to the above tests, we did EPT at the exposed surface, using toothpaste as a electrolite medium and recorded the EPT value at patient's response. After the tests had been done, desensitization procedures with Gluma(R) Desensitizer were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. After desensitization, the same tests except EPT at occlusal third were repeated. All the 40 teeth responded positive before desensitization and negative after desensitization procedures. The EPT value at occlusal third ranged from 31 to 65 (48.9${\pm}$7.2). Before desensitization 34 teeth responded at EPT value of 2 and the remaining 6 teeth was in the range of 17 to 25. After desensitization all 40 teeth responded from 12 to 27 (19.6${\pm}$3.5). The 6 teeth responded at greater number than 2 before desensitization was in the range of 18 to 23. Within the limitations of this study we can conclude that: When a tooth with dentinal hypersensitivity responds to mechanical and thermal stimulation, the tooth shows very low resistance to electricity at the exposed surface while when a tooth is desensitized and doesn't show respond to mechanical and thermal stimuli, the tooth shows increased level of resistance to electric stimulation at the exposed surface. EPT can be used for the diagnosis of dentinal hypersensitivity. Furthermore EPT will be useful to evaluate the outcome of desensitization procedures. However, EPT is not a valid tool for measuring dentinal hypersensitivity.
