The author had performed the measurement of the various teeth regions on 200 cases of Full-mouth roentgenogram taken with the measurable Grid to detect the degree of alveolar bone resorption, aged from 20 to 60 years of Korean, and to verify the effective result of measurable Grid as a new device which enables the observers to determine the correct length of images on the periapical standard film. The results were obtained as follows. 1. It was found that the degrees of alveolar bone resorption were different in the various teeth regions. 2. As a whole, alvolar bone resorption of anterior teeth regions was more severe than that of posterior teeth regions. 3. Alveolar bone resorption of mandibular region was more severe than that of maxillary region. 4. In sex difference, alveolar bone resorption of male is more severe than that of female, and it was increased with aging. 5. Measurable grid can be used as an adjunct of evaluation of alveolar bone resorption and of calculating the tooth length.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate root resorption and alveolar bone resorption pattern by jiggling movement. 16 adult cats were divided into 4 groups(6, 12, 18, 24 days). In test side, mesio-distal jiggling force was applied in right maxillary 1st premolar in 3 days cycle In control side, mesial force was applied in left maxillary 1st premolar. Radiographic and histologic observation were performed in 6, 12, 18, 24 days after force application. The results were as follow: 1. Alveolar bone resorption was more severe by jiggling force than by unidirectional force. 2. Root resorption pattern was not different between jiggling force and unidirectional force. 3. Combined pattern of bone resorption and new bone formation appeared in jiggling group. 4. New bone formation began to appear at periapical area of jiggling group after 24 days, because alveolar bone resorption was severe and extrusion resulted.

The author studied the vertical height of tooth crown and the amounts of alveolar bone resorption with age. All 84 subjects(44 male, 40female) who visited Dental hospital of Wonkwang University with no history of sever periodontal disease and no experience of periodontal surgery. 84 subject were divided into 3 groups by age, that is, group I(28-32yrs), group II(38-42yrs), and group III(48-52yrs). Informal radiogram with bite wing film(horizontal angulation : $0^{\circ}$, vertical angulation : $+5^{\circ}~+10^{\circ}$) were taken on premolar and molar area. The distances from cusp tip to cementoenamel junction (vertical height of tooth crown) and from cementoenamel junction alveolar crest(amount of alveolar bone resorption) were measured, and then recorded data from 946 teeth were statistically analysed. This study was undertaken to obtain the data for age estimation by the changes of tooth crown height and alveolar bone resorption in the point of forensic odontology. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The average crown height of mandibular right 1st. molar was 7.1mm in group I, 6.7mm in group II, and 6.6mm group III, and the average amount of alveolar bone resorption on mandibular right 1st. molar were 1.8mm in group I, 2.5mm in group II, and 3.0mm in group III. Ratio of tooth crown height to amount of alveolar bone resorption was 4.0:1 in groupI, 2.7:1 in group II, and 2.2:1 in group III, the ratio was decreased with age. 2. In comparison with upper teeth and lower teeth in ipsilateral side, the average value of tooth crown height and amount of alveolar bone resorption were slightly higher in upper arch than those in lower arch, but there was not a statistically significant difference. 3. The ratio of height of tooth crown to amount of alveolar bone resorption was decreased with age, and which depended mainly upon the change of amount of alveolar bone resorption rather than the change of tooth crown height.

The author had measured the alveolar bone level of periodontal disease on 50 cases of orthopantomogram to detect the degree of alveolar bone resorption of both sexes of Korean. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Alveolar bone resorption of mesial and distal portion was similiar in same patient. 2. The order of alveolar bone resorption was mandibular anterior region, posterior region, canine and premolar region of both jaws. 3. The degree of alveolar bone destruction was severe in shorter root length than longer. 4. The degree of alveolar bone resorption was severe in forth decades.

Alveolar bone resorption are unpredictable and always occur after tooth extraction. Such bone resorption causes insufficient alveolar ridge which make implant placement difficult. There are many techniques to increase the alveolar ridge. Representative procedures include ridge split, guided bone regeneration, bone graft using autogenous block bone, and alveolar distraction. In each procedure, there are indications and complications. Depending on the shape and the width of bone defects, we can choose procedures for horizontal bone augmentation and vertical bone augmentation.

The author measured the degree of alveolar bone resorption around mandibular central incisors in Korean female(254). Mandibulr central incisors were selected from the females who do not have periodontal disease or malocclusion. The selected radiograms were enlarged in the $5"\times7"$ printing papers for the precise measuring. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The average alveolar bone resorption around mandibular central incisors in Korean women were 1.91mm in 3rd decade, 2, 16mm in 4th decade, 2.51mm in 5th deacade, 2.70mm in 6th decade, 2.94mm in older age group. 2. Alveolar bone resorption and age were in positive correlation; there is a tendency that the alveolar bone resorption increase with aging. 3. The regression equation is as follows. Y=13.57x + 7.06(r=0.60, n=254) (Y=estimated age, x=Length(C-E Junction alveolar crest)lar crest)

PURPSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the labio-lingual alterations of the alveolar bone where the implant was placed immediately after tooth extraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Implants were placed immediately after tooth extraction on anterior alveolar ridges in the maxilla and mandible. The pinguide system was used to help determine the location and path of implants during the surgical process. The horizontal distance from implants to the outer border of alveolar bone was measured at the rim and middle of the implants in the cone beam computed tomography images. The alteration of alveolar bone was evaluated comparing the horizontal distances measured immediately after surgery and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS. The results show that more resorption occurred towards the labial bone than the lingual bone in the maxilla. A similar amount of labial and lingual bone resorption was observed in the mandible. CONCLUSION. Considering the horizontal alteration of alveolar bone, labio-lingual positioning of the implant towards the lingual bone in the maxilla and at the center of the alveolar ridge in the mandible is recommended when it is placed immediately after tooth extraction.

This is about the case of loss of multiple teeth and alveolar bone caused by trauma, which needed alveolar bone augmentation before implant treatment. Alveolar bone was reconstructed using iliac bone graft, and thereafter first implant surgery was followed by consolidation period of 3 months. Iliac bone resorption was observed at the time of implant placement. And that resorption was more in the horizontal dimension than in the vertical. We conclude that additional treatment planning(e.g. using alveolar distraction osteogenesis or tissue expander) should be considered besides bone graft for vertical alveolar bone augmentation. For both maxilla and mandible, prosthodontic treatment was carried out $4{\sim}5$ months after implant placement. To compensate alveolar bone deficiency, partial hybrid overdenture on maxilla and implant-supported fixed bridge on mandible were fabricated, and the total treatment was finished.

Purpose: The most widely accepted protocol for alveolar cleft reconstruction is to repair it during the mixed dentition stage. There were lower resorption rate (about 88%) at this stage. However we found some cases that need repeated bone grafting. Therefore we sought to analyze the cause of repeated alveolar bone grafting in connection with other factors. Methods: From January 2000 to January 2006, thirty-nine secondary alveolar bone grafts with iliac crest spongiosa were carried out. In 39 patients, 5 patients who had significant bone graft resorption received repeated alveolar bone graft. In all the cases, the causes of repeated bone grafts were dental root exposure(angulation), and the deficiency of the bony support for lateral incisor or canine eruption. In 3 cases, there was deficiency of the alveolar bone at the cleft side. There was the need of repeated bone grafts for orthodontic treatment in 2 cases and for application of dental implants in 1 case. Results: During the follow-up period, the clinical and radiologic examinations showed that repeated alveolar bone grafts were maintained successfully without any complications. The volume of the repeated bone graft was sufficient for orthodontic treatment and implantation. Conclusion: The essential conditions for successful alveolar bone grafting includes the status of cleft sided teeth, further treatment and planed schedule, as well as canine eruption. Alveolar bone grafting has to be performed with difference of each case in mind.
