수직 치근파절은 특이성을 나타내지 않기 때문에 치과의사가 정확한 진단을 하기 어렵다. 따라서 수직 치근파절의 임상적 특징, 진단적 증상을 파악하여 향후 근관치료된 치아나 치료되지 않은 치아에서 수직 치근파절의 유발인자와의 관련성 및 고찰을 통해 수직 치근파절의 예방 및 치료에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 연구대상은 조선대학교 부속치과병원 치주과에 내원한 환자 중 최근 2년간 144명의 환자에서 근관치료를 받았거나 받지 않았던 치아 중 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 수직 치근파절로 진단된 156개의 증례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 불확실한 증례에서 수직 지근파절의 최종 진단은 외과적 탐지를 통해 이루어졌고, 금이 간 치아와 관련될 수 있는 치근파절의 증례의 경우는 제외되었다. 근관치료된 치아와 치료되지 않은 치아, 환자의 나이와 성별, 치아종류 및 파절된 치근부위, 자각증상의 유무를 기준으로 각각의 수치와 백분율로 분류하였다. 수직 치근파절의 증상과 증후별로 분류하였으며, 진단방법에 의한 분류, 치료방법에 따른 분류, 근관 치료 후 수직 치근파절이 발생한 기간에 따른 분류를 시행하고 통계분석을 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근관치료를 받지 않았던 치아의 수직 치근파절의 발생율은 58%였다. 2. 성별에 따른 발생률에 있어서 남성의 호발양상을 나타내었다. 3. 근관치료된 치아에 있어서 치료되지 않은 치아에 비해 호발연령이 낮았다. 4. 전치부의 수직 치근파절은 관찰되지 않았으며 특히, 강한 교합력을 필요로 히는 구치부에서의 높은 발생율을 나타냈다. 5. 수직 치근파절의 가장 주된 증상 및 증후는 깊은 치주낭 깊이였다. 6. 근관 치료 후 수직 치근파절이 발생한 기간은 평균 5.7년이었다. 7. 다수 증례에 있어서 3개 이하의 결손치를 가졌고, 자각증상이 나타났다. 이상의 결괴에서 한국인에 있어서 근관치료를 받지 않은 치아의 수직 치근파절은 드문 현상이 아님을 알 수 있었고 남성과 구치부에 있어서의 높은 발생율을 알 수 있었다. 그 이유로는 강한 교합력, 딱딱한 음식의 저작습관, 치조골 흡수에 따른 낮은 저항성, 골 유연성의 저하 등으로 여겨진다. 그러나, 수직 치근파절은 아직까지 정확한 진단을 내리기는 여전히 어려운 상태이며, 이를 위한 다양한 진단방법 및 더 나은 연구가 필수적이라 하겠다. 그리고, 향후 보다 많은 증례에 대한 분석, 치주질환에 이환되지 않은 경우의 분석, 치료 후 생존 기간에 대한 고찰 등도 필요하리라 사료된다.

Recently, the dental information systems were rapidly developed in order to store and process the data of patients. But, these systems should serve a doctor a good quality information against disease for diagnostic and surgery purpose so as to success in this field. This function of the system it important to persuade patients to undergo proper surgical operation they needed. Hence, 3D teeth model capable of simulating the dental surgery and treatment is necessary Teeth manipulation of dentistry is performed on individual tooth in dental clinic. io, 3D teeth reconstruction system should have the techniques of segmentation and 3D reconstruction adequate for individual tooth. In this paper, we propose the techniques of adaptive optimal segmentation to segment the individual area of tooth, and reconstruction method of tooth based on contour-based method. Each tooth can be segmented from neighboring teeth and alveolar bone in CT images using adaptive optimal threshold computed differently on tooth. Reconstruction of individual tooth using results of segmentation can be manipulated according to user's input and make the simulation of dental surgery and treatment possible.

The purpose of this study was to present the causes and their mechanisms of eruption failure of teeth and to investigate the treatment modalities. There are so many reports about eruption failure, but most of them are dealing with local mechanical interferences. But, we have patients suffered from eruption failure of another causes. Many developmental failures show eruption problems of teeth, although in some cases, the primary failure of eruption (failure of the eruption mechanism itself) can be the primary cause. We have to know about the causes, differences, and the treatment modalities for those abnormalities.

The purpose of this study was to develop a practical caries activity test using laser fluorescence. The subjects of study were 30 children of $7\sim10$ years old. Fluorescence from initial carious lesion of teeth illuminated by an argon laser(488nm) was observed through barrier alter. For evaluation of accuracy and propriety of this method fer caries activity test, teeth with initial caries lesion on buccal or labial surface of children was examined with visual inspection and laser fluorescence. Visual examination for the dDfFtT and the $Cariescreen^{(R)}$ test were also done. The results from the present study can be summarized as follows: 1. Laser fluorescence test could differentiate initial caries lesions more easily than visiual inspection. 3. There was highest correlation(= 0.73) between laser fluorescent test and $Cariescreen^{(R)}$ test and. And also apparent correlation(= 0.66) exists between laser fluorescent test and caries experience measured by dDfFtT.

Bleaching of vital and nonvital teeth is becoming a more commonly used treatment in the dental office and at home. To improve appearance and remove discoloration, the teeth of specific patients are treated with a variety of bleaching agents. The typical bleaching agents contains carbamide or hydrogen peroxide as the active component. The purpose of the review article was to summarize and discuss the available information concerning the effect of peroxide releasing bleaching agent on dental restorative materials and restorations. Information from all original scientific full papers or reviews listed in PubMed or ISI Web Science were included in the review. Bleaching may exert a negative influence on restorations and restorative materials. Advice is provided based on the current literature to minimize the impact of bleaching treatment on restorative materials and restorations.

Odontoma represents 22% of all odontogenic tumors, which is characterized by slow growth pattern. Most of the odontomas usually develop during dental follicle proliferation. The growth of odontoma is limited and lesion is generally asymptomatic. It is frequently diagnosed during assessments for delayed eruption of permanent tooth and is usually founded in the second decade of life. Odontoma is usually diagnosed through radiographic views and is difficult to diagnose at the early developmental stage of odontoma. But an uncalcified developing odontoma can disturb the eruption of the tooth, so it is important to perform periodic radiographic examinations. Treatments are surgical removal and observation of odontoma followed by surgical opening or orthodontic traction of impacted tooth according to the tooth development and the location of impacted tooth. In this case, we found the radiopaque calcified odontoma in the radiographic view meanwhile follow up of the impacted tooth showing idiopathic eruption disturbance. This suggests that a developing odontoma is the cause of eruption disturbace.

The purpose of the study are expected to provide some basic information on counseling, diagnosis and treatment planning for patients related to teeth care. A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 320 subjects in Seoul and Gyeonggi from May to August, 2015 after permission from Institutional Review Board (IRB). Except 18 copies, 302 data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 19.0 program. The questionnaire consisted of four questions of the general characteristics of the subjects, ten questions of the awareness toward of subjective teeth, five questions of the influence of teeth on appearance, and ten questions of self-esteem. The dependent variables made a 23.4% prediction of self-esteem. If they have higher education(p<0.001), influence of teeth on appearance(p<0.001) and the awareness toward of subjective teeth(p<0.001) had significant influence on self-esteem. The findings suggest that heightened subjective awareness toward teeth seems to be of use for the improvement of self-esteem. Therefore it's required to make an effort to take good care of teeth in terms of color or arrangement as well as oral health.

Autotransplantation of third molars with completely formed roots is known to be effective and provide a high long-term success rate. However, in case of severe mobility or unexpectedly extraction is observed during the monitoring period after surgery, it is generally considered as a failure. This case report describes successful replantation of autotransplanted mature third molar into surgically created molar socket. 1 year follow up of transplanted tooth showed clinically normal periodontal pocket depth and tooth mobility. Root resorption or bone loss were not observed. Provided that there is no apparent sign of inflammation, re-insertion into socket is a viable alternative to immediate determination of extraction.

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare and nonhereditary dental malformation. It is a dental alteration of unknown etiology, involving both mesodermal and ectodermal dental components, which is characterized by clinical, radiographic, and histologic features. The maxilla is more often involved than the mandible (especially the left side), and there is no racial predilection, but females are affected twice as often as males. The affected teeth are clinically hypoplastic and hypocalcified, presenting a "ghost-like" appearance radiographically. The present case features a male patient aged 4 years and 6 months who was diagnosed with regional odontodysplasia in the maxilla on the right side, confirmed by clinical and radiographic examination, with a follow up of 5 years. Since teeth affected by RO have a poor prognosis due to the fragile tooth surface and open apices, the long-term treatment strategy depends on periodic clinical and radiological observations.
