Stafne bone cyst (SBC) is a bone defect usually located in the posterior portion of the mandible or mandibular angle below the inferior alveolar nerve. The cases of SBC involving multiple anterior tooth apices and penetrating the mandibular bone are extremely rare. Here we present a case of an anterior-positioned SBC mimicking periapical cyst, which penetrated the mandibular bone, with a review of the differential diagnosis.

전기적 자극에 의한 골성장기전의 개념을 이용하여 임상적 효율성을 증진시키기 위한 연구는 현재 교정학을 비롯한 치과영역에서 활발히 진행되고 있는 분야 중의 하나이다. 전기적 자극의 여러 형태 중의 하나인 전자기장과 하악의 기능적 전방 이동을 유도하는 악기능교정장치가 백서의 하악과두 성장에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 생후 4주된 Sprague Dawley계 백서 48마리를 대조군 12마리, 실험군 36마리로 나누고, 실험군은 다시 전자기장을 가한 군, 하악골 전방이동 장치를 장착시킨 군, 전자기장과 하악골 전방이동 장치를 병용시킨 군으로 분류하여 각각 12마리씩 실험동물을 배정하였다. 각 군의 실험동물은 15 HZ의 특수 전자기장이나 하악전방이동 자치가 하루10시간씩 작용되도록 특별히 제작한 실험장치 속에 넣어 1주간, 4주간씩 사육하여 희생시킨 후 하악골을 분리하고 연조직을 박리한 후 $10\%$ formalin에 보관하였다. 하악골 길이를 측정하기 위해 0.05mm까지 계측 가능한 캘리퍼를 이용하여 하악과두의 후연에서 이공까지의 거리를 계측하였고, 하악과두를 절제하여 0.5M EDTA에 탈회시켜 파라핀 포매를 하였다. 표본의 절단방향은 시상평면에 평행하게 하여 $6{\mu}m$두께로 연속절단 하였으며, 그 중 중심의 3절편을 취하여 통법에 의한 H-E 중염색을 시행하였다. 하악골 계측과 H-E 중염색 표본을 통한 조직학적 관찰을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 4주군에서 전자기장만에 노출된 실험군은 대조군에 비해 하악골 길이가 유익성 있게 증가되었다. 2. 전자기장과 하악골 전방이동 장치를 병용한 실험군은 하악골 전방이동장치만을 사용한 실험군에 비하여 하악골 길이가 증가되었다. 3. 전자기장에 노출된 실험군은 전구 연골아세포(prechondroblast)의 증식, 비대연골 세포층의 세포간질 및 연골내 골화층의 석회화가 모두 증가되었다. 4. 본 실험에 사용한 15 HZ전자기장의 주요작용부위는 백서의 하악과두 성장지역 중 연골내 골화의 석회화 지역이며, 또한 이는 하악골 전방이동 장치와 병용시 하악과두 성장을 촉진시킬 수 있음이 관찰되었다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the right and left differences of frontal ramal inclination in chin-deviated individuals. Methods: Thirty adult patients with clinically apparent chin deviation were selected as the chin-deviated group, and 30 adult patients with symmetric faces were selected as the control group. On the posteroanterior cephalograms, the frontal ramal inclination was measured, and the right and left differences were compared and analyzed. Results: While the control group did not show right and left differences of frontal ramal inclinations, the chin-deviated individuals showed right and left differences of frontal ramal inclination. In chin-deviated individuals, the frontal ramal inclinations of the non-deviated side were statistically greater than those of the deviated side. The right and left differences of frontal ramal inclinations, with menton deviation and the right and left differences of maxillary heights showed statistically significant correlation. Conclusion: We conclude that the frontal ramal inclinations should be considered in the diagnosis of facial asymmetry.

Prior to the advent of microvascular surgery, conventional prosthetic rehabilitation offered limited success to re-establish the physiological function in oromaxillofacial reconstruction. Microvascular surgery provided a new frontier and there are multitude of flaps. Each flap has the benefits and limitation for the application to various defects. Advantage of the scapular flaps over other reconstructive methods include the ability to design multiple cutaneous panels on a separate vascular pedicle allowing improvement in three-dimensional relationship and osseointegrated implants can be palced to restore occlusal and masticatory function. Here I present the detailed description of the important surgical anatomy as well as graft dissection and clinical application of free vascularized scapular flap.

This author tried to find if the size of the frontal sinus can be used as a diagnostic aid to predict the manldibular growth pattern in growing Patients in lateral cephalogram utilizing the fact the the frontal sinus completes its growth in earlier stage but the mandible continues to grow until later. At this study, the 228 samples were divided into 3 groups as skeletal Class I, II, III malocclusions and three indicies(ANB, APDI, Wits) were measured which indicate the mandibular body length and the antero-posterior relationship of maxilla and mandible to evaluate their relations with frontal sinus. And results were obtained as followings 1. The size of frontal sinus is highly related to ANB, APDI, Wits and mandilar body length.(p<0.001) 2. the size of the frontal sinus of the Cl III malocclusion group was on the lateral cephalogram larger than Cl I and Cl II group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the partial glossectomy on the mandibular growth of growing rats. Thirty one Sprague-Dawley rats four weeks old were divided into two groupes : the first group served as the control and the second group was partially excised in the tongue of the rats. The experimental animals were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks after partial glossectomy. The changes of the rat mandibular growth following partial glossectomy were observed biometrically from dry bone specimens. The findings were as follows : 1. Partial glossectomy of growing rat produced inhibitory effects on the growth of the mandible and did not change the original shape of the mandible. 2. Among the factors affecting mandibular growth, the presence of the proper tongue size was essential. 3. Partial glossectomy of the growing rats could not change general growth of the rats whole bodies.

In this paper, we propose an automatic segmentation method of the mandible using shape-constrained information in cranio-maxillo-facial CBCT images. The proposed method consists of the following two steps. First, the mandible segmentation based on the global shape information is performed through the statistical shape model generated using the MDCT images. Second, improvement of mandible segmentation is performed considering the local shape information and intensity characteristics of the mandible. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively based on the results of manual segmentation by expert. Experimental results show that the Dice Similarity Coefficient of the proposed method was 95.64% and 90.97%, respectively, in the mandible body region including the narrow region of large curvature and the condyle region with large positional variance.

본 연구의 목적은 반안면왜소증 환자의 하악골 신장술시 초기 치아골격 특성들 중에서 치료결과의 차이에 기여하는 인자를 찾는 것이다. 치료전의 치아골격 특성, 골신장술의 효과와 그 유지상태를 관찰하기 위하여 골신장술 직전(T0), 직후(T1), 추적 2년후(T2)에 측모와 정모 두부방사선 계측사진을 촬영하여 전후방, 수직치아, 비대칭 항목들을 계측하였다. T2 시기의 계측 결과에 따라서 환자들을 1군(양호군, 10명)과 2군(불량군, 9명)으로 분류하였다. 두 군에서 각 시기와 T0-T1, T1-T2 동안의 변화량의 차이를 Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed independent t-test, rank test, ANOVA test를 사용하여 분석하였다. pruzansky type이 골신 장술의 성공과 실패 여부와 관계가 깊게 나타났다. T0 시기에 2군은 1군에 비하여 하악골이 후방위치되었고, 하악지 고경(ramus height)이 짧았고, 하악각(gonial angle)이 컸으며, 이환측 하악지가 내측경사되었고, 이환측으로의 이부변위(chin point deviation)가 크게 나타났다. 1군에서 골신장술의 주요한 효과는 하악지 고경의 증가, 하악골의 전방위치, 하악각의 증가, articular angle의 감소에 따른 하약골의 반시계방향 회전, 이환측의 하악지 경사의 증가, 교합면경사와 이부변위의 개선으로 나타났다. 그러나 2군에서는 골신장술을 시행했을 때 1군에 비하여 하악골이 시계방향으로 회전되었고 하악지 고경의 증가량이 작게 나타났다. T2 시기에 2군에서는 하악골의 반시계방향 회전이 나타났고, 하악지 성장이 일어나지 않았으나, 1군은 반대의 경향을 보였다. 이러한 인자들이 골신장술 결과의 차이에 기여하는 것으로 생각된다.

In the treatment of mandibular prognathism with concomitant features of narrow alar base and some paranasal deficiency, simultaneous paranasal augmentation for the additional esthetic effect can be considered, if it is determined to correct the mandibular prominence and class III by a mandibular set-back. Alloplastic augmentation has several advantages upon the autogenous means in the respect of dimensional stability and simplicity of operation. This is a case report of silastic paranasal augmentation performed simultaneously with mandibular set-back surgery which has a period of 15 months of follow-up postoperatively.
