Thr rickets or osteomalacia, that was induced by nonendocrine osseous or soft tissue tumor, is extremely rare disease and fourteen patients has been reported since 1947. The real nature of this disease is unknown, but postulated that unknown phosphaturic subtance which was elaborated from the tumor affect the renal tubule and produce hypophosphatemia and failure of calcification of osseous tissue. This case presented is that of 41-year-old man who suffered from severe generalized aching pain, severe muscular dystrophy, and shortening of the stature 4 years prior hospitalization. The causal coexisting tumor is walnut sized peripheral giant cell granuloma on the upper gingiva. After surgical removal of the tumor, patient's biochemical findings of the serum and urine were returned to the normal limits 12 days later, and clinical symptoms were marked relieved at 6 weeks later. The dental radiograms which were obtained 4 months later revealed remarkable bone regeneration and newly formed alveolar lamina dura.

Burkitt's lymphoma is a malignant tumor originated from B lymphocyte and a type of non-hodgkin lymphoma. It is clinically classified by endemic, sporadic and immune deficient forms. In the past, it had poor prognosis but in recent years survival rate is 50~80% treated by intensive chemotherapeutic regimens. Mostly it is a lesion of the jaws. Clinical symptoms are severe tooth mobility, displacement, gingival redness and swelling. This case is about a patient with aggressively progressing Burkitt's lymphoma of the jaws. Initial diagnosis was done in dental hospital and it has shown satisfactory outcome by prompt and appropriate treatment.

Complex odontomas consist of a conglomerate mass of enamel, dentin and cementum which bears no anatomic resemblance to a tooth. The majority of these lesions are completely asymptomatic, being discovered on routine radiographic examination or when films are taken to determine the reason for tooth eruption failure. Compound odontomas seldom cause bony expansion, but complex odontomas often cause slight or even marked bony expansion. Complex odontomas are mostly associated with permanent teeth and very rarely associated with deciduous teeth. They are usually located in the first-or second-molar areas of the mandible. This report presents a case of a patient with impaction of a maxillary primary canine by a complex odontoma in which surgical excision of the lesion was performed. And the primary canine was repositioned right under gingival level for spontaneous erution. Follow-up after six months showed spontaneous eruption ofthe repositioned maxillary primarycanine.

Cyclic neutropenia is a hematologic disorder characterized by a marked decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils occurring at regular intervals and after this period, the level of neutrophils usually recovers to a normal range. The clinical symptoms of cyclic neutropenia include fever, malaise, headaches and oral findings associated with painful soft tissue ulceration where lips, tongue and gingiva are typically involved. A 4 year 1 month old boy was presented to the hospital. His chief complaint was mobility of his teeth and swollen gums. The patient had suffered from cyclic neutropenia. Clinical examination revealed evident decay on all primary teeth except for the mandibular anterior teeth and localized alveolar bone loss around mandibullar right and left first primary molars which have mobility was notable. The patient was diagnosed with multiple dental caries, gingivitis and localized periodontitis associated with cyclic neutropenia and treated based on it. The dental treatment, including regular tooth care and appropriate treatment of dental caries or gingivitis, is essential for patients suffering cyclic neutropenia. Especially, proper care at an early stage is needed for young patients to minimize the unwanted consequences for permanent teeth development.

This study was conducted to investigate the risk factors affecting dental caries in children by using the 2018 children's oral health survey data. The study was conducted on 20,235 children who were 12 years of age. The survey items examined general characteristics, dental dietary behavior, the oral condition, and the behavioral factors related to oral health. The results showed that gender, region, economic level, subjective oral health condition, dental dietary behavior, oral condition and oral health-related behavior were all risk factors. Those children with oral conditions particularly showed a higher risk of the dental caries symptoms of dental calculus, dental bleeding, tooth pain and white spot teeth. The oral health-related behaviors were found to be tooth brushing less than two times a day, the risk of not using a handle to hold dental floss and not using dental floss. Our results showed that countries or communities can diagnose and manage dental well-being early on for children with the highest sensitivity of dental health and they need to continue to establish a dental well-being management system for the oral health care of children. In addition, oral health education should be expanded, which can improve oral health care habits of children and adolescents. Further, an oral health policy system for improving community programs to prevent dental and community utilization is needed.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) occurs either in isolation or in association with other dental abnormalities and systemic disorder. A rare syndrome associating AI with nephrocalcinosis was named as Enamel Renal Syndrome (ERS; OMIM #204690). This syndrome is characterized by severe enamel hypoplasia, failed tooth eruption, intra pulpal calcifications, enlarged gingiva, and nephrocalcinosis. Nephrocalcinosis is a condition where calcium salts are deposited in renal tissue, and this may lead to critical kidney complications. This rare syndrome shows pathognomonic oral characteristics that are easily detectable at an early age, which proceeds the onset of renal involvement. Pediatric dentists are the first oral health practitioners whom ERS patients will meet at early age. The role of pediatric dentists is critically important for early diagnosis and referral of patients to both nephrologists for renal assessment and geneticists for identification of causative mutation and diagnosis. Early detection of renal involvement may provide chances to prevent further undesired renal complications.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), an inherited connective tissue disorder, is caused by mutations in genes encoding different types of collagen or collagen-processing enzymes. EDS most typically affects the joints, ligaments, skin, and blood vessels. Oral health may be severely compromised in EDS as a result of specific alterations of collagen in orofacial structures. Dental hard tissue defects, root dilaceration, pulp stones, ectopic or delayed eruption, impaction, and periodontal disease could be observed. Therefore, a number of tissue responses related to collagen and precautions should be anticipated when considering dental treatment in EDS. Long-term and comprehensive dental management is required. The purpose of this report is to describe a clinical case of eruption disorders in a patient with EDS.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is one of the most severe epileptic encephalopathies of childhood onset. It is characterized by multiple types of generalized seizures, slowness of intellectual growth, and specific electroencephalogram pattern. It is one of the most difficult epilepsy syndromes to treat and is frequently resistant to treatment. In this case report, we report a case of dental treatment under general anesthesia in a child with LGS. A 4-year-6-month old boy with LGS 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. If a LGS patient requires dental treatment, a treatment plan should be established to take into account the degree of seizure, the medication being used, and the cooperation of the patient. If the degree of seizure is severe and the patient's cooperation is poor, dental treatment under general anesthesia would be advantageous.

As the vertical fracture occurs at the various locations following the long axis of a root, treatment method of crown-root fractured anterior teeth is decided according to the depth. If the fracture line is close to the crown, gingivectomy, orthodontic - forced eruption or surgical extrusion of apical fragment could be done. If the line is over 1/3 length of the root, the prognosis is poor and extraction is usually undertaken. However, extraction of maxillary incisor at growing children causes many complications such as esthetic, phonetic problem and alveolar bone resorption. Therefore, preservation of tooth is the highest priority. Recently, intentional replantation with composite resin could be considered as alternative treatment of crown-root fractured anterior tooth. This report presents a patient in mixed dentition with deep vertical crown-root fracture of the maxillary permanent central incisors by trauma. Intentional replantation of the fractured teeth was performed using composite resin. After 2 years, specific clinical symptom has not been found and the patient was satisfied of esthetic result. This method suggests the new technique to preserve a tooth as an alternative to extraction, although it is technically sensitive and the reports of long-term prognosis is insufficient.
