최근에 들어서 개인용컴퓨터가 대중화되고 통계처리를 위한 컴퓨터 소프트웨어들을 쉽게 이용할 수 있게 됨에 따라 치의학연구에 있어서도 컴퓨터를 이용한 자료의 통계적 분석이 증가되고 있으며 그 방법도 갈수록 복잡하고 다양해지고 있다. 따라서 오늘날 급속히 발전하는 새로운 치의학지식의 습득을 위하여 치의학잡지에서 증가되고 있는 통계적 분석방법을 이해하고 평가할 수 있는 통계학지식이 요구된다. 이에 저자는 1975년,1980년 그리고 1986년에 발행된 5종류의 치의학잡지에서 보고된 논문에서 통계학방법의 종류와 빈도 그리고 통계학방법의 경향을 조사하여 치의학분야의 통계학교육에 필요한 통계학방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

본 연구는, 기존의 나열식 분류체계의 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 GRAIL을 이용하여 두경부의 해부학적 구조물들 및 구강 악안면 영역의 주요 질병들과 관련된 치의학 개념들의 모델을 구축한 뒤, 완성된 치의학 개념 모델이 두경부의 해부학적 구조물들 및 구강 악안면 영역의 주요 질병들을 잘 표현할 수 있는지와 기존의 GRAIL 모델이 지닌 특징에 잘 부합하는지를 평가하고자 시행되었다. 서울대학교 치과병원 내원 환자 중 포괄적인 치과 치료 병력을 지닌 환자 150명의 치과 의무기록을 내용별로 분석하고, 각종 치의학 교과서와 기존의 의학용어 분류체계에서도 모델 구축에 필요한 치의학 용어를 선택하였다. 이들 자료를 바탕으로, GRAIL 모델 구축을 진행하고 구축된 모델을 평가할 수 있는 소프트웨어 프로그램인 'KnoME'에서 치의학 개념 모델을 구축하고 평가하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 환자 150명의 치과 의무기록을 내용별로 분석한 결과, 우선적으로 모델 구축이 필요한 치의학 용어로는, 해부학적 구조물의 경우 치아, 치은, 악관절, 입술, 턱, 혀 등의 순서로 나타났으며, 구강악안면 영역의 병소에서는 치아 우식증, 치주염, 치은염, 악관절 장애, 매복 지치, 치경부 마모 등의 순서로 나타났다. 2. GRAIL을 이용하여 치아, 치주조직, 구강점막조직, 치아 우식증, 치수 및 치근단 병소, 치주질환, 구강점막질환의 모델 구축을 시행한 결과, 치의학 개념간의 다양한 관계가 대다수 잘 표현되었다. 그러나, 구강 악안면 영역의 해부학적 구조물에 대한 공간 정의의 한계성과 구강 악안면 질환의 진행 양상에 있어서 표현의 어려움이 관찰되었다. 이러한 부분은 GRAIL을 치의학 분야에 적용할 때, 극복해야 할 한계로 나타났다. 3. 치의학 개념들에 관한 다양한 질의를 시행한 후 그 응답 내용을 평가한 결과, 완성된 모델 내에서 치의학 개념의 자동적인 분류가 이루어 졌으며, 다양한 목적의 검색이 가능하였다. 이와 같은 사실로 미루어 보아서, 완성된 모델은 기존의 GRAIL 모델의 특성에 잘 부합되는 것으로 생각되었다.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the virtual reality simulation for malocclusion examination for dental education. A 4-step modeling procedure was applied to develop a tooth model with a realistic level in order to be held and observed in detail. Eighty-six participants used HMDs to examine the developed virtual dental simulation to identify their perception according to expertise levels. The independent variable, expertise group, included three levels: 29 juniors, 29 seniors, and 28 dentists, respectively. The dependent variables, that were task-load and usability, were measured through two cases. Results showed that the junior group perceived a higher level of mental demands and embarrassment than the dentist group. It indicated that the perceived task load varies according to the expertise levels in the simulation task. However, the senior group perceived a higher level of ease of use than the dentist group. This study presented the implications for the development of virtual reality simulation in detail.

This study is to explore the applicability of PBL classes in undergraduate education at a School of Dentistry. To do this study, PBL modules were developed and applied to the students with different background knowledge to easily learn Integrated Medicine and Lifescience classes. Participants were 12 students in the first year of Integrated MS program at P University. Four tutors who majored in Dentistry and had PBL teaching experience participated. As a result of the PBL classes, students' concepts and knowledge about gene expression and expression were expanded, and they recognized the importance of self-directed learners and experienced the importance of collaborative learning. PBL tutor presented a positive assessment of attending PBL class experience and the educational need for PBL instruction. The results of this study show the possibility of PBL as a model for Integrated Medicine and Lifescience class in Dentistry education.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of interceptive primary canine extraction in palatally and buccally displaced maxillary permanent canines, and to analyze the clinical and radiographic factors affecting the treatment outcome. 97 maxillary permanent canines from 86 patients whose maxillary permanent canine were in the mesio-occlusal directions and overlapped with the roots of the adjacent teeth were analyzed. In 64 of 97 (66.0%) maxillary permanent canines, the displaced crown was completely deviated from the adjacent lateral incisor root only by extraction of the primary canine. Not only the characteristics of maxillary permanent canines such as bucco-palatal displacement direction, horizontal and vertical position of the crown tip, and presence of apical closure, but also periapical rarefaction on the primary canine and peg-shaped adjacent lateral incisor significantly affected the treatment outcome.

There are many problems in evaluating study results by p value in null hypothesis testing for dental research. It is a logical fallacy to conclude that the null hypothesis is true when the it is not rejected. There are much serious misunderstanding about p value, and researchers should be cautious about interpreting p value in writing papers. As alternatives to complement or replace the null hypothesis significance testing, effect size, confidence interval, and Bayesian statistics are introduced.

Mini-implant has been reported as an alternative method to conventional diameter implants in the treatment of mandibular anterior region with narrow ridge. However, one-piece type mini-implant showed biological and technical complications, such as peri-implantitis by residual cement and prosthetic detachment. Recently, one-piece type mini-implant with additional retentive structure has been introduced to increase the retention and stability of the mini-implant. The mini-implant is based on spreading the upper retentive structure with a spreader and connected it with the inner surface of the zirconia prosthesis. In two cases, we tried to reduce these complications through the mini-implant on the narrow mandibular anterior region, and it was possible to reduce the overall treatment period through a digital system. In this case report, restoration using the digital mini-implant system showed improvement of patient satisfaction on the aspect of function and esthetic in the narrow mandibular anterior region.

The aim of this study was to provide pathological information of pediatric oral lesions by retrospectively analyzing oral biopsy results from pediatric patients at the Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Biopsy results of all oral lesions from pediatric patients, aged 0 - 16 years, were collected from the files of the Department of Oral Pathology, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from January 2000 to April 2020. The patients were divided into 3 age groups: 0 - 5, 6 - 11 and 12 - 16 years. All oral lesions were classified into three main categories: inflammatory and reactive, tumor or tumor-like and cystic lesions. Among the total of 2928 biopsy specimens, tumor or tumor-like lesions(35.66%) were the most common, followed by inflammatory and reactive lesions(34.29%) and cystic lesions(30.05%). Regardless of the categories used in this study, odontoma was the most frequently found lesion, mucocele and dentigerous cyst being the next common. This study was the first retrospective review of pediatric oral pathology in Korea, and the results from this study may assist in providing informative insight into the pediatric oral pathology for pediatric dentists.

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.
