Objectives: Dental plaque emits red fluorescence under a visible blue light near the ultra-violet end of the light spectrum. The fluorescence characteristics of each microorganism have been reported in several studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in red fluorescence of oral microorganisms that is affected by blood in the culture media. Methods: The gram-positive Actinomyces naeslundii (AN, KCTC 5525) and Lactobacillus casei (LC, KCTC 3109) and gram negative Prevotella intermedia (PI, KCTC 3692) that are known to emit red fluorescence were used in this study. Each bacterium was activated in broth and cultivated in different agar media at $37^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Tryptic soy agar with hemin and vitamin $K_3$ (TSA), TSA with sheep blood (TSAB), basal medium mucin (BMM) medium, and BMM with sheep blood (BMMB) were used in this study. Fluorescence due to bacterial growth was observed under 405-nm wavelength blue light using the quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) device. The red, green, and blue fluorescence values of colonies were obtained using image-analysis software and the red to green ratio (R/G value) and red to total RGB ratio (R/RGB value) were calculated for quantitative comparison. Results: The QLF-D images of the AN, LC, and PI colonies showed red fluorescence in all media, but the fluorescence of all bacteria was reduced in TSA and BMM media, compared with in TSAB and BMMB media. Both the R/G and the R/RGB values of all bacteria were significantly reduced in growth media without blood (P<0.001). Conclusions: Based on this in vitro study, it can be concluded that red fluorescence of oral bacteria can be affected by growth components, especially blood. Blood-containing medium could be a significant factor influencing red fluorescence of oral bacteria. It can be further hypothesized that bleeding in the oral cavity can increase the red fluorescence of dental plaque.

In order to manufacture functional and esthetic prostheses, it is essential to accurately transmit information about the patient's occlusal plane. In particular, in the case of a completely edentulous patient, the occlusal plane is very important to correctly support the soft tissue, to achieve aesthetic harmony with the facial appearance, and to properly pronounce it, and to form a balanced occlusal relationship for stable mastication. In the conventional method, various facebow systems were used to transmit patient's information from the clinic to the laboratory, but there were several limitations in the process of transferring them to CAD. To simplify this process, a prefabricated POP (PNUD Occlusal Plane) Bow system was recently developed. In this case, a CAD-CAM (Computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing) treatment dentures reflecting the patient's occlusal plane information was manufactured using the POP Bow system during the treatment of a completely edentulous patient, and aesthetic and functional satisfaction was obtained.

In patients with unstable mandibular movements who are accompanied by involuntary facial muscle movements and asymmetrical changes in the facial features, many difficulties exist in determining the vertical dimension of occlusion, recording centric relation, and transferring information about the occlusal plane. In this case, for a patient with unilateral facial nerve palsy who was edentulous for a long period of time, a CAD-CAM provisional prosthesis was fabricated using a 3D printing customized gothic arch tracer and a prefabricated occlusal plane recorder, the POP bow system, to achieve a stable interarch relationship. Afterwards, a full mouth implant fixed prosthesis was fabricated by delivering an appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion, a reproducible centric relation, and a correct three-dimensional occlusal plane, and continuous maintenance was performed to restore functional and aesthetic oral health to the patient.

본 연구는 주식시장에서의 체결가격을 균형가격으로 가정하여 계산된 수익률에 관한 통계추정치의 편의에 관하여 분석하고 있다. 주식수익률의 통계적모멘트를 추정하는 것은 주식가격의 행태를 분석하는 연구 및 사건연구등에서 많은 학자들에 의하여 수행되어 왔다. 기존의 대부분의 연구들은 시장에서 체결된 가격이 그 시점의 진정한 균형가격이라는 가정하에 수익률을 계산하고 이 수익률 자료로부터 수익률의 평균, 표준편차, 외도(skewness), 침도(kurtosis) 등의 통계적모멘트를 추정하였다. 그러나 체결가격은 시장의 규칙에 의해 일정한 호가단위로만 거래될 뿐 아니라 매도 또는 매수호가에 거래됨으로써 진정한 균형가격과의 괴리가 있을 수 있게 된다. 본 연구는 주식호가단위의 불연속성과 매도매수호가의 차이로 연한 통계추정치의 편의에 관한 모형을 도출하여 편의의 크기와 특징을 분석하고, 이를 수정하는 간편식을 도출하여 그 유효성을 검증하고 있다. Gottlieb and Kalay(1985), Ball(1988), Cho and frees(1988)등은 1/8 달러의 최소호가단위로 인하여 발생하는 기존의 분산추정치의 편의를 계산하고 이를 수정하는 간편식을 제시하였다. French and Roll(1986)은 휴일이 포함된 기간의 수익률 분산과 평일 분산추정치의 비율이 기간과 비례하지 않는 원인중 하나는 매도매수호가차이로 인한 분산추정치의 편의라는 점을 설명한 바 있다. Choi and Shastri(1989)는 Black and Scholes 옵션가격 결정모형 이 주식 분산값의 크기에 따라 일정한 편의를 보이는 주요한 원인은 퍼센티지 매도매수호가차이와 옵션가격이 모두 진정한 분산치의 정의 함수이기 때문이라는 점을 보였다. Harris(1988)와 최종연(1994)는 주가의 불연속성 및 매도매수호가차이를 동시에 고려하여 기존의 분산추정치가 어떠한 편의를 보이는지에 관하여 분석한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 최종연(1994)의 연구에서 도출된 모형을 연장하여 국내 주식시장과 같이 주가 수준에 따라 최소호가단위가 변화할 때의 변형모형을 도출하였다. 또한 이 모형에 따라 통계추정치의 편의를 수익률의 표준편차를 중심으로 계산하여 그 정도를 미국시장의 경우와 비교하였고, 그 추정치의 수정 방법에 대하여 호가단위가 변화하는 주가금액이 10,000원 주변일 경우를 중심으로 분석하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the cumulative survival rate of dental implants installed with guided bone regeneration (GBR), and also elucidate the factors related with the survival of dental implants. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 148 dental implants installed in 76 patients by one specialist (Y.K.) at the Department of Periodontology and Implant Center, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from 2001 to 2010. The cumulative survival rates were obtained by the Kaplan-Meier method. The correlations between various factors and dental implant survival were analyzed by using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Among 148 dental implants installed in 76 patients, 8 implants in 7 patients were lost and the cumulative survival rates up to 5-years and 10-years were 97% and 89%, respectively. Gender, smoking status and location of implant were significantly associated with the cumulative survival rate of implants (p < 0.05). Age, history of hypertension and diabetes were not significantly associated with the cumulative survival rate of implants (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The dental implants installed with guided bone regeneration is predictable technique according to the results of cumulative survival rate over 10 years.

Computer aided design and manufacturing and implant surgery using a guide template improve restoration-driven implant treatment procedures. This case utilized those digital technologies to make definitive prostheses for a patient. According to the work flow of digital dentistry, cone beam computed tomography established the treatment plan, which was followed to make the guide template for implant placement. The template guided the implants to be installed as planned. The customized abutments and surveyed fixed restorations were digitally designed and made. The metal framework of the removable partial denture was cast from resin pattern using an additive manufacturing technique, and the artificial resin teeth were replaced with the zirconia onlays for occlusal stability. These full mouth rehabilitation procedures provided functionally and aesthetically satisfactory results for the patient.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, CCN2) is one of the multi-functional secreted proteins which belong to CCN family of cysteine-rich growth factors. CTGF is known to have pivotal roles in embryonic endochondral ossification but its role in relevance to periodontitis is never been determined. To identify new molecular mediators associated with periodontitis-induced bone resorption, we have analyzed publicly available GEO database and found the markedly augmented CTGF mRNA expression in periodontitis gingival tissues. The existence of CTGF significantly enhanced mature osteoclasts survival which accompanied by reduction in TUNEL-positive nuclei and PARP cleavage. These results may provide another line of evidence the CTGF mediated prolonged osteoclast survival and subsequent increased bone resorption in the periodontitis patients.

The purpose of this study was to compare the mesio-distal and vertical position of impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs with the labio-palatal position of impacted canines and root resorption of adjacent teeth on CBCT (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography). A total of 54 patients with 69 impacted maxillary canines were included in this study. On panoramic radiographs, the mesio-distal (Sector I - V), and vertical position, and angulation of impacted maxillary canines were evaluated. Labio-palatal position and root resorption of adjacent teeth were evaluated on CBCT. Labial impaction of canines was most frequent in panoramic sector I. Impaction within the arch was most frequent in sector I and II. Palatal impaction was most frequent in sector III, IV, and V. Mesially positioned canines on panoramic radiographs tended to be palatally impacted. Most of the root resorption of adjacent teeth occurred in sector III, IV, and V (p < 0.05). Canines with low angulation on panoramic radiographs tended to be palatally impacted and resorb the roots of adjacent teeth. The vertical position of impacted canines on panoramic radiographs was not statistically significant with respect to labio-palatal position and root resorption of adjacent teeth on CBCT. Analysis of the mesio-distal position and angulation of impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs can be used to predict the labio-palatal position of impacted canines and root resorption of adjacent teeth.
