This study was conducted on industrial workers to develop an integrated health promotion program on chronic disease and oral health, and to provide basic data for an effective management plan by conducting comparison analysis of periodontal health status based on the findings of hypertension and diabetes disease, and by understanding of influencing factors on periodontal health status. And the study was conducted on 4,600 workers in certain areas from March 22, 2010 to June 18, 2010. The results of the study indicates significant difference by having high plaque and gingivitis ratio in the people who had the findings of hypertension and having high plaque ratio in the people who had the findings of diabetes disease. Regarding the influences on periodontal health status, gender, age, whether the subject visited a dental hospital, whether the subject had scaling treatment, smoking, and hypertension had influenced gingivitis. And gender, age, whether the subject visited a dental hospital, whether the subject had scaling treatment, smoking, and hypertension had influenced plaque. And the aforementioned 2 groups had statistically significant difference, and the conclusion is established that metabolic syndrome which is measured during the health exam of workers is an important disease potentially threatening the health of workers and also highly related to oral health.

Orthodontic treatment is obviously the first choice to get aligned teeth cause of conservative treatment. But it is impossible to get highly esthetic result only orthodontic treatment in case of peg lateralis, discrepancy tooth size, discolored teeth or fractured teeth. As all treatment does, especially in esthetic treatment it is always required interdisciplinary diagnosis and treatment plan; orthodontics, periodontology, prothetics, implant therapy. As also, the treatment should be maintained long-term treatment with stable and harmonious state by esthetic satisfaction and functional occlusion those who needs various dental care as interdisciplinary treatment. This case is the laminate treatment with the orthodontic treatment on 37 ages/ Female patient who has cross bite at anteriors and premolar area and abrasion on centralis at right maxilla. By orthodontic treatment aligned teeth positions, it makes functional occlusion. As laminate treatment with minimum teeth preparation is able to release anterior esthetics. Follow up check for 2 years has been performed since the final prosthetics delivery to the patient. No sign of relapse, fracture of laminate were detected.

Implant fixed prosthesis for the complete edentulous maxilla provides significant benefits in the aspects of functions and esthetics compared with the conventional denture. Implant supported fixed prosthesis are totally supported by implant, and thus stabilizes the prosthesis to the maximum degree as possible. Also, the improved retention and stability of fixed prosthesis enhance patients' psychological and psychosocial health. This clinical presentation describes a maxillary full arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis in complete maxillary edentulous patient who showed vertical and horizontal alveolar bone resorption in the anterior ridge. To rehabilitate the esthetics and proper lip support, the zirconia framework was fabricated and the pink porcelain was veneered to reproduce the natural gingival tissue. After 9 months of follow up, the restorations were maintained without complications and the patient was satisfied with the restoration both functionally and esthetically.

Pediatric dentistry is differentiated from other fields of dentistry in that it provides comprehensive dental care for children and adolescents. In early days, pediatric dentistry used to be confined to the caries treatment and extraction of primary teeth However, the practice spectrum of pediatric dentistry has broadened to the orthodontic, surgical, esthetic and preventive treatments A survey that contained questions about practice patterns were mailed to 50 pediatric dentists, and 21 surveys were returned. Results were as follows: 1. The average number of patients per week was 82.4, and the average number of treated teeth per patient was 2.35. 2. Preventive treatments comprised 15.7%, restorative treatments 55.7%, endodontic treatments 15.6%, surgical treatments 10.5%, and orthodontic treatments 2.4%. 3. In restorative treatments, amalgam restoration comprised 3.8%, glass ionomer 5.5%, composite resin 63.0%, and stainless steel crown 27.7%.

Fusion is defined as union of two separate tooth buds at some stage in their development with confluence of dentin and characterized by separate root canal and large single crown, while gemination is defined as an attempt of the single tooth bud to incompletely divide and usually result in a single root with one root canal and two completely or incompletely separated crowns. It is sometimes difficult to decide whether an abnormally large tooth is the result of fusion of a normal and a supernumerary tooth, or of gemination; use of the term 'Double tooth' may make the clinicians avoid this difficulty(Brook & Winter). Commonly there are no symptoms, but the problems associated with these anomalies include esthetics, possible loss of arch length and delayed or ectopic eruption of the permanent teeth, caries along the line of demarcation, and periodontal disease. Commonly, it dose not need to be treated in primary dentition but in case of permanent dentition, it may be requested to be treated due to esthetics and other problems. In our case, a 8 years old girl showed a Double tooth, we attained the favorable results by performing hemisection with apexification.

The aim of this investigation was to study the effect of orthodontic force on the flow of gingival crevicular fluid and activities of arylsulfatase and brta-glucuronidase in crevicular fluid. The material consisted of 12 persons between the ages of 13 years and 22 years and all were categorized Class I, 4-4 extraction cases Crevicular fluids were sampled from distal crevis of each canine before treatment (phase 1), after bracketing (phase 2), after application of force (phase 3) and after run out of orthodontic force (phase 4). Crevicular fluid flow did not show any significant changes during the period of treatment. The activities of arylsulfatase increased significantly after setting of orthodontic appliance without application of force, but did not show any significant difference after application of force. The activities of beta-glucuronidase increased significantly after application of orthodontic force and decreased with force deminished. These indicated that beta-glucuronidase was good indicator of bone remodelling resulted from initial orthodontic force.

Periodontal tissue destroyed by inflammation is difficult to achieve regeneration of the tissue and esthetic restorations only by surgical methods. In particular, improvement of esthetics is more difficult if the problem is related to the implant. A 23 year old woman suffered from unesthetic anterior implant prosthesis. According to her dental history, a repeated bone graft and soft tissue graft failed at a local dental clinic. It was needed to resolve the inflammation and to improve the esthetics. A free gingival graft and ridge augmentation accompanied by guided bone regeneration and a vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue graft was performed. Instead of implant prosthesis, a conventional fixed bridge was adopted for better esthetic result. The patient was satisfied with the esthetic conventional fixed prosthesis. This case report introduces esthetic rehabilitation of unesthetic implant prosthetics in the maxillary anterior dentition by a combination of surgical and prosthetic approaches.

This study analyzed the rate of unmet dental care service for the disabled who were judged to require the dentistry due to oral health-related problems and those reasons, and also examined the oral health status according to the unmet dentistry. 375 subjects, who were 19 years or older and completed oral health examination and a survey, among 444 responded positive of disability registration after participation in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES), were analyzed. Disability type was classified into 6 kinds(physical disability, brain lesions, sensory defect, developmental disability, mental disorder, endocrine disorder). Participants had 128 of their dental care needs unmet when it was required. 'Financial burden' was the main reason, with the subject of 49.2%, followed by 'lower on the priority scale' were 18.0%. The high frequency and progression permanent teeth caries experiencs and periodontal status of their dental disease were confirmed. In availability aspect of dentistry resources, it is required for using dentistry service smoothly through providing sufficient proper dental care service comparing with the number of the disabled.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the oral health statuses pre- and post-insurance using the $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to confirm the effect of scaling insurance after a year. Methods: Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). The four years were integrated, and a composite sample analysis was performed. A total of 26,990 people were included in the study before applying for scaling insurance (14,343 persons) or after receiving scaling insurance (12,647 persons). A chi-squared test was performed to compare the demographic characteristics and oral health status of the subjects. The significance level of the statistical test was 0.05. Results: The proportion of patients without implants was high before the provision of scaling insurance once a year, however, the proportion of patients with one or more implants was high (p<0.05) after the provision of scaling insurance once a year. Hemorrhagic periodontal tissues and tartar formation in periodontal tissues were highly prevalent before the provision of scaling insurance once a year, however, healthy periodontal tissues and formation of periodontal pockets were highly prevalent (p<0.05) after the provision of scaling insurance once a year. The decay, missing, and filled teeth index scores were higher before the provision of scaling insurance once a year (p<0.05). Conclusions: The aforementioned results showed that scaling once a year helps prevent or treat periodontal disease. In addition, we confirmed the effect of prevention on periodontal disease and dental caries, therefore, we expect it to develop into a stable policy.
