Various techniques have been developed, and the development of piezo electric devices have made it possible to widen the alveolar ridge even if the residual bone is dense or if there is a lack of cancellous bone between the cortical bones. In the operation of the mandibular posterior area, the flap is easily accessible to the ramus bone, from which high quality autogenous bone can be obtained, compared to other parts. A small autologous bone block can be used with particulated bone graft material using one screw for bone regeneration instead of a large autologous bone with two screws. The tapered implant design can minimize buccal bone fracture, even in severely atrophic mandibular areas. We report a case of 4 years following implant placement with ridge splitting and small autogenous bone graft in severly atrophic mandible. This report demonstrates a case of functional and aesthetic restoration in a patient through a collaboration.

In the mandibular posterior molar area, ridge deficiency is an unfortunate obstacle in the field of implant dentistry. Many techniques are available to rebuild the deficient ridge. Selection and necessity of these techniques are associated with significant morbidity and often require a second surgical site. With the advent of guided bone regeneration (GBR), one may now graft the deficient ridge with decreased morbidity and without a second surgical site. In this case, guided bone regeneration procedures were performed with a combination of allograft, xenograft, and alloplast, excepting autogerous bone at severe defected mandibular alveolar ridge and then placed to the implant successfully. We report that implant placement were good in two cases.

When maxillary anterior tooth is extracted due to alveolar bone loss, the augmentation of alveolar ridge is very important for esthetic implant restoration. Because alveolar bone loss increases after extraction, the ridge preservation performed right after tooth extraction is meaningful for esthetic implant restoration. However, no achievement of primary closure during ridge preservation can negatively affect bone regeneration. To overcome this problem, we can use granulation tissue in the extraction socket for primary closure. This case report confirmed that primary closure using granulation tissue resulted in not only ridge preservation but also ridge augmentation by providing an environment more advantageous of bone regeneration than the open wound.

The goals of this study were to present presurgical naso-alveolar molding (PNAM) appliance in unilateral cleft lip and palate treatment and to evaluate the effects of PNAM appliance on alveolar molding. Samples were consisted of 4 unilateral cleft lip and palate infants (3 males and 1 female, mean age=23.2 days after birth) who were treated with PNAM appliances in Department of Orthodontics, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Average alveolar cleft gap between the greater and lesser segment was 8.27mm and average duration of alveolar molding treatment was 9.7 weeks. These patients' models were obtained at initial visit (T1) and alter successful alveolar molding (T2). Seven linear and five angular variables were measured by using photometry and digital caliper. All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS win ver. 7.5 program. Paired t-test was used to compare the mean values. 1. The posterior part of alveolar segments are the stable structures during alveolar molding treatment period in infants. 2. Forward growth of the greater segment may be hindered by the action of alveolar molding. 3. The closure of cleft gap during alveolar molding were usually due to inward and backward bending of the anterior part of the greater segment and outward bending of the whole lesser segment.

성견의 2면 골내낭에서 calcium sulfate 이식이 치조골 및 백악질 재생 능력과 접합상피의 근단이동에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 3마리 성견의 상하악 제3대구치 근심면을 연결하는 깊이 4mm, 너비 4mm의 2면 골내낭을 외과적으로 형성하고 calcium sulfate를 이식한 군을 시험군으로, 치은박리술만을 실시한 군을 대조군으로 설정하였다. 술후 8주후에 치유결과를 접합상피의 길이, 백악질 형성, 치조골 형성, 결합조직 유착으로 나누어 조직학적으로 비교 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 접합상피의 길이는 대조군에서 2.28mm, 실험군에서 0.51mm로 나타났으며, 대조군과 실험군간에 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 2. 백악질 형성은 대조군에서 1.33mm, 실험군에서 2.59mm로 나타났으며, 대조군과 실험군간에 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 3.치조골 형성은 대조군에서 1.02mm, 실험군에서 2.30mm로 나타났으며, 대조군과 실험군간에 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 4. 결합조직 유착은 대조군에서 0.50mm, 실험군에서 1.14mm로 나타났으며, 대조군과 실험군간에 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 본 실험상의 한계내에서 고려하여 볼 때, calcium sulfate는 2면 골내낭의 치주치료에 치조골 및 백악질 재생 효과가 있으며 안전하고 경제적인 골 이식재 재료로 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

At intrusion of upper anterior teeth in patient with periodontal defect, the use of three-piece base arch appliance for pure intrusion is required. To investigate the change of the center of resistance and of the distal traction force according to alveolar bone height at intrusion of upper anterior teeth using this appliance, three-dimensional finite element models of upper six anterior teeth, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were constructed. At intrusion of upper anterior teeth by three-piece base arch appliance, the following conclusions were drawn to the locations of the center of resistance according to the number of teeth, the change of distal traction force for pure intrusion and the correlation to the change of vertical, horizontal location of the center of resistance according to alveolar bone loss. 1. When the axial inclination and alveolar bone height were normal, the anteroposterior locations of center of resistance of upper anterior teeth according to the number of teeth contained were as follows : 1) In 2 anterior teeth group, the center of located in the mesial 1/3 area of lateral incisor bracket. 2) In 4 anterior teeth group. the center of resistance was located in the distal 2/3 of the distance between the bracket of lateral incisor and canine. 3) In 6 anterior teeth group, the center of resistance was located in the central area of first premolar bracket .4) As the number of teeth contained in anterior teeth group increased, the center of resistance shifted to the distal side. 2. When the alveolar bone height was normal, the anteroposterior position of the point of application of the intrusive force was the same position or a bit forward position of the center of resistance at application of distal traction force for pure intrusion. 3. When intrusion force and the point of application of the intrusive force were fixed, the changes of distal traction force for pure intrusion according to alveolar bon loss were as follows :1) Regardless of the alveolar bone loss, the distal traction force of 2, 4 anterior teeth groups were lower than that of 6 anterior teeth group. 2) As the alveolar bone loss increased, the distal traction forces of each teeth group were increased. 4. The correlations of the vertical, horizontal locations of the center of resistance according to maxillary anterior teeth groups and the alveolar bone height were as follows : 1) In 2 anterior teeth group, the horizontal position displacement to the vortical position displacement of the center of resistance according to the alveolar bone loss was the largest. As the number of teeth increased, the horizontal position displacement to the vertical position displacement of the center of resistance according to the alveolar bone loss showed a tendency to decrease. 2) As the alveolar bone loss increased, the horizontal position displacement to the vertical position displacement of the center of resistance regardless of the number of teeth was increased.

Trauma commonly leads to ankylosis for the tooth whose periodontal ligaments have been injured. In growing patients, an ankylosed tooth can disrupt alveolar development, resulting in infraocclusion of the affected tooth. Consequently, this causes aesthetic problems during adolescence, interferes with prosthetic treatment due to the inclination of adjacent teeth, and complicates orthodontic dental movement. When the infraoccluded ankylosed tooth is extracted, a considerable amount of alveolar bone is lost, especially in the maxillary anterior region. Moreover, depression of the thin buccal alveolar bone compromises aesthetic restoration. In order to prevent alveolar bone loss, the ankylosed tooth should be treated by decoronation. In the present study, the traumatically injured maxillary incisors of 9-year-old and 10-year-old patients that present infraocclusion accompanied by ankylosis were treated with decoronation procedures. Decoronation procedures were performed when the affected teeth were 2-3 mm below relatively to the adjacent teeth. Moreover, the patients were treated before they get to 16 years old considering the maximum growth peak of the korean adolescents. As the results, there are favorable clinical results associated not only with preservation of horizontal alveolar volume but also with increase in vertical alveolar height after decoronation in growing individuals.
