Oral health in youth is very important because this period influences life for adult remarkably. Therefore, more effective oral health education and recognition of early treatment for oral disease are required sincerely. For more effectual education for high-school students, it is necessary to consider their circumstance like obesity and smoking. This study will analyze the correlation oral health behavior with obesity and subjective oral health concerns. In addition to, the actual condition of smoking for high-school girls and oral health condition will be verified. A survey was progressed for high-school girls in Busan city and BMI(body mass index) was used for classification of weight. The statistical significance was analyzed using SPSS 13.3 for Windows. Results of this study is following. 1. The frequence of daily toothbrushing was significantly different with obesity although difference of oral health knowledge was not significant. The frequency of toothbrushing of overweight students were lesser than the others. This results may be caused by low-level for oral health concerns and by passive life style of fat person. This habit has possibility of causing serious periodontal disease like periodontitis and tooth caries. 2. The correlation of obesity and time of brush change, using for supplement, and recent dental institution was insignificant. However, concerns of oral health were showed significantly according to obesity. Under-weight and standard-weight students were more concerned about oral health than over-weight. This results can be related to frequence of toothbrushing for fat subject. This relevance of two factors was confirmed by logistic regression analysis. 3. Approximately 70% students have smoking experience responded to uncomfortableness of periodontal conditions. On the other hand, non-smoking students felt uncomfortable in 50%. This results indicated that smoking have an effect on oral health condition. Further study which identify periodontal conditions practically has to go on for verification of direct correlation smoking and oral health.

Aplastic anemia is a disease characterized by general lack of bone marrow activity; It may affect not only the red blood cells but also the white blood cells and platelets, resulting in pancytopenia. Spontaneous gingival hemorrhage is present in some cases and it is related to the blood platelet deficiency. This case report presents the periodontal treatment of a patient with aplastic anemia. A 43-year-old female was referred for continuous gingival bleeding after periodontal treatment. Periodontal findings revealed generalized gingival imflammation, oozing of blood from gingival crevice, and it was diagnosed as adult periodontitis. Root planing and extraction of the upper left third molar with poor prognosis were put into operation after elevation of the platelet count with platelet transfusion. The extraction socket was sutured with 3-0 silk. Bleeding continued even after digital compression at the upper right second premolar, second molar, and left canine areas, which presented severe inflammation. Although platelets were transfused repeatedly, platelet count did not stay elevated since survival rate of the transfused platelets were low due to alloimmunization. Thrombin gauze packing was not effective. Bleeding ceased 3 days after treatment with transfusion of donor platelets. 20 days after the treatment, the gingiva was generally healthy except upper right second premolar and lateral incisor areas. The result of periodontal treatment was good, but bleeding control after treatment was troublesome. In the periodontal treatment of patient with aplastic anemia, elevation of the platelet count with platelet transfusion seems to be the best method for hemorrhage control.

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells respond to heat stress and other environmental abuses by synthesizing a small set of stress proteins and by inhibiting post-transcription synthesis of normal proteins. The purpose of the present study was to document the stress response produced by inflamed gingival tissue in vivo, and cytokine inducted human periodontal ligament cells. Human PDL cells were exposed to TNF-$\alpha$(1ng/ml), INF-$\gamma$(200 U/ml), LPS(100ug/ml), combination of cytokine, and SDS-PAGE gels running and Western blotting analysis was done. In vivo studies, the healthy gingival tissusse of a control group and inflamed gingival tissue of adult periodontitis were studied by immunohistochemistry and histology. The results were as follows 1. HSP 47 was distributed on basal layer in healthy gingiva, but stronger stained in basal, suprabasal, and spinous layer of inflamed gingiva. 2. HSP 47 was rare on endothelial cells and mononuclear cells in healthy gingiva, but stronger expressed in inflamed gingiva. 3. HSP 70 expression was rare on epihelium and inflammatory cells hi both healthy & inflamed gingiva. 4. HSP 70 was actively expressed on endothelial cells and inflammatory cells of capillary lumen in moderately & mild inflamend gingiva. 5. PDL cells showed low level of HSP 47 protein expression which was significantly induced by cytokine stimulation (LSP only and combination). 6. Maximum HSP 70 protein induction was seen with stimulation by a combination of the cytokine, Combination of TNF-$\alpha$, INF-$\gamma$, LPS have been shown to synergistically effects of HSP 70 expression. On the above findings, HSP Is influenced by cytokine and chronic inflammation in vivo, and may be involved in protection of tissue during periodontal inflammatiom.

There has been many attempts to develop a method that can regenerate periodontal tissues that were lost due to periodontal diseasd, but none of them was completely successful. This study was designed to investigate the healing and regeneration of periodontal tissue when bone substitutes such as porous replamineform hydroxyapatite and porous resorbable calcium carbonate were used in combination with oxidized cellulose membrane and collagen absorbable hemostat, compared to a control where only oxidized cellulose membrane or collagen absorbable hemostat were used. Chronic periodontitis was induced on mandibular premolars of and adult dog by placing orthodontic elastic ligatures for 10 weeks. After flap operation, the control group were received oxidized cellulose membrane (control- I )or collagen absorbable hemostat (control- II) only, while one experimental group was given either porous replamineform hydroxyapatite or porous resorbable calcium carbonate in addition to oxidized cellulose membrane (Experimental I-A, I-B), and another experimental group was treated by using either porous replamineform hydroxyapatite or porous resorbable calcium carbonate in addition to collagen absorbable hemostat. (Experimental II-A, II-B) After 56 weeks, healing was histologically analyzed with the following results. 1. Apical migration of junctional epithelium was observed only in areas coronal to the notch for both control and experimental group. 2. Inflammatory cell infiltration was not observed in any groups. 3. Oxidized cellulose membrane and collagen absorbable hemostat were completely resorbed. 4. Newly-formed cementum was observed up to the level where junctional epithelium was located, for both control and experimental groups. 5. Bone formation was limited of the middle portion of the notch in the control group, where as experimental groups showed bone formation up to the level of implant materials coronal to the notch. 6. Minute resorption of apically located portions of implanted materials was observed in experimental group I-B and II-B only.

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to fully reconstruct the periodontal attachment apparatus. Commonly used techniques for treatment of infrabony defects include a combination of root planing, curettage and root treatment. To prevent the apical migration of epithelial cells, the technique of guided tissue regeneration is used. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of root treatment with Citric acid & Tetracycline and Guided tissue regeneration in dogs. Experimental periodontitis was induced by the ligation of orthodontic elastic threads in the upper right and left premolars 3, 4 of five adult dogs for 6 weeks. 4 types of procedures were performed as follows; 1) Control graup : Mucoperiosteal flap 2) Experinental I : GTR used Gore-tex(R) membrane 3) Experinental II : Root treatment with citric acid (PHl) 4) Experinental III : Root treatment with tetracycline HCl (50mg/ml) There after, dogs were serially sacrificed at the 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 weeks, and the specimens were prepared, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for the light microscopic evaluation. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Junctional epithelium reached to the notch through the furcation area in control group at 8 weeks. 2. In the aspects of the inflammatory cell infiltration, control group showed severe aggregation than experimental group I, II, III through the experimental period 3. New cementum was observed over the notch from 5 weeks in experimental group II 4. In the aspects of the amount of new bone formation, experimental group was better than control group, but there was not significant differences among the experimental group, I, II, III

The purpose of the present investigation was to compare the effectiveness of porous hydroxyapatite (PHA) and coralline based porous calcium carbonate(PCC) as implant materials in human periodontal osseous defects. 10 adult patients having periodontitis and 2 similar angular osseous defects ${\ge}$5mm as verified by radiographic analysis and clinical probing depth ${\ge}$4mm were selected. The measurements were recorded just before surgery and after 6 month. Clinical parameters used in this study included gingival recession, pocket depth, probing attachment level, Sulcus Bleeding Index, Plaque Index, tooth mobility and bone defect depth measurements. After initial therapy, patients were treated with mucoperiosteal flap surgery. The contralateral bony defects in each patient randomly assigned to either bone graft material, one with PHA(Interpore 200) and the other with coralline based calcium carbonate(Biocoral). After 6 month both groups showed statistically significant reduction of pocket depth, Sulcus Bleeding Index, Plaque Index and significant improvement in probing attachment level. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups. There were 3.0mm or 68% of bone repair with PHA and 3.1mm, 61% with PCC. These values were likewise not significantly different. The data and clinical impression strongly suggest that both PHA and PCC are alloplastic implants with clinically apparent acceptance by the soft and hard tissue and that they can be used as bone graft materials successfully.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of the tooth mobility and maximal bite force over 4 weeks following initial therapy on the periodontal disease. Tooth mobility and maximal bite force due to change of viscoelastic property of periodontium were influenced by inflammation of periodontal tissue. 10 patients with the chronic adult periodontitis participated in this study. Each tooth was divided into anterior areas, premolar areas and molar areas. Tooth mobility was tested using Periotest(Siemens Co. Germany) and maximal bite force was evaluated with MPM-3000(Nihon kohden Co. Japan). Tooth mobility and maximal bite force were recorded at the initial examination, 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks following initial therapy. All data were analyzed statistically. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. The changes of the tooth mobility following initial therapy were generally decreased in maxilla, showing the significant decrease at 1 and 4 weeks on premolar areas (p<0. 05). 2. The changes of the tooth mobility following initial therapy were generally decreased in mandible, however this changes were not statistically significant. 3. The changes of the maximal bite force following initial therapy in maxilla were significantly increased at 3 and 4 weeks on anterior areas, at 4 weeks on premolar areas (p<0. 05). These were decreased at 1 week on molar areas, but generally increasing with time. 4. The changes of the maximal bite force following initial therapy in mandible were significantly increased at 3 and 4 weeks on anterior areas (p<0. 05, p<0. 01). These were decreased at 1 week on premolar but molar areas, and generally increasing with time. 5. As tooth mobility increased, maximal bite force decreased with significance (p<0. 01), and they had high negative correlation on anterior areas but low negative correlation on premolar and molar areas.

The masticatory function of tooth is maintained by the periodontal health, and periodontal health is also maintained by the masticatory function. Bite forces are withstanded by the PDL, and this thought to be through the viscoelastic theory. Mobility test and Bite force test are used to evaluate the viscoelastic theory of the PDL. In this study, the bite force test was used. In the same conditions of quantity of the supporting tissue, the maximum bite force according to the quality of the supporting tissue was evaluated. The study was conducted on 40 patients with moderate adult periodontitis, who were indications to the modified widman flap treatment. The maximum bite force in the premolar and molar regions were tested before treatment, 3weeks and 4 weeks after treatment. and the results were as follows. 1. In the premolar region, 3 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment showed higher maximum bite force than before treatment. And in the molar region the maximum bite force decreased 3 weeks after treatment, but increased after 4 weeks, compared to before treatment. 2. In the 1st premolar, there were only significant difference between before and 3 weeks after treatment, and between and 4 weeks after treatment. 3. In the 2nd premolar, there were only significant difference between before and 3 weeks after treatment, and between and 4 weeks after treatment. 4. In the 1st molar, there were no significant difference between before, 3 weeks after treatment, 4 weeks after treatment. 5. In the 2nd molar, there were no significant difference between before, 3 weeks after treatment, 4 weeks after treatment. From the results above, it shows that there were improvements in the maximum bite force through specific periodontal treatments, and thus it can be considered in clinical situations, that selection of the prosthodontic material, decisions of extraction, evaluation of the prognosis after periodontal treatment is a helpful method.

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a Qualitative platelet disorder characterized by a deficiency in the platelet membrane glycoproteins IIb/IIIa. It belongs to a group of hereditary platelet disorders typified by normal platelet numbers and a prolonged bleeding time. The severity of bleeding does not correlate with the severity of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa a abnormality. The present case report describes the periodontal treatment of a patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia. A 30-year-old female with a history of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia was referred for gingival bleeding on tooth brushing and discomforts in #38 area. The periodontal finding revealed a diagnosis of localized slight adult periodontitis. Root planing and extraction of #38 was performed under 12 pack of platelets transfusion and digital compression was done for hemostasis. The gingival bleeding ceased within a day in maxilla and 2 days later in mandible. 42 pack of platelets was administered for 3 days of post-treatment and for iron-deficiency anemia 3 pack of RBCs was transfused 2 days later. 1 week later the inflammation in gingiva disappeared and gingival stippling appeared. The clinical result we got was good and in such a medically compromised patient it is an ability to maintain a proper oral hygiene that is essential both for oral and systemic health.

Background: Periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults and is a representative oral disease commonly suffered by most people around the world. Mainly the proliferation of Gram-negative bacteria and secreted virulence factors cause an inflammatory response and destroy periodontal tissue. Gossypetin, isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa L, is known to have various pharmacological effects, including antibacterial and anticancer activities. We aimed to confirm the anti-inflammatory effect of gossypetin through interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulation in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major cause of adult periodontitis. Methods: CCK-8 assay was performed to confirm the concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of gossypetin against HGFs. The secretion level and mRNA expression of IL-6, an inflammation-related cytokine, and the effect of gossypetin on these in HGFs stimulated with P. gingivalis LPS were confirmed by ELISA and qRT-PCR analysis, respectively. Results: Up to a concentration of 100 µM gossypetin with or without P. gingivalis LPS, the survival rate for HGFs was maintained at over 95% and showed no toxicity. ELISA and qRT-PCR analysis results showed that P. gingivalis LPS increased IL-6 secretion and mRNA levels in HGFs compared to the control group. However, this increase in IL-6 was significantly down-regulated by gossypetin treatment in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, 80 µM gossypetin inhibited IL-6 production to the level of the control group. Conclusion: These results indicated that gossypetin attenuated IL-6 production in HGFs stimulated by P. gingivalis LPS, which may ultimately suppress the inflammatory response in periodontal tissue. Therefore, gossypetin may have potential as a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
