Antipsychotic drugs(APDs) have been effective to alleviate psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. However, some schizophrenic patients do not respond to APDs. In addition to psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, negative symptoms, excitement, violence, agitation, depression, and disorganization are frequently noted in patients with schizophrenia. Though APDs are the first line drugs for these symptoms, other drugs than APDs to augment the effects of APDs are efficacious for the treatment of these symptoms. Such augmenting drugs include benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, lithium, and electroconvulsive therapy. These augmentation strategies can boost the effects of APDs or decrease the requirements of APDs, and consequently decrease the chance of the occurrence of side effects of APDs. Augmenting strategies are revewed for each class of drugs or treatment modality.

Deproteinized bovine bone mineral has been widely used as graft material in sinus augmentation procedure. The efficacy of OCS-B(r)(Nibec Inc., Seoul, Korea) as a graft material for sinus augmentaion was evaluated in 10 patients. A total of 13 sinus augmentation procedures were performed, and an average of 6.3 months later 27 implants were placed into the augmentation sinuses. The biopsy specimens were examined histologically and hitomorphometrically. Radiographical evaluation was done also. The average distance form grafted sinus to implant apex at the final evaluation period was $5.7\pm3.1$mm. The average percentage of newly formed bone at an average of 6.3 months was $20.0\pm8.4%$. The degree of bone to graft material contact was $18.7\pm6.4%$. It was shown from both radiographic evaluation and histologic results that sinus augmentation can successfully be performed with $\OCS-B^textcircledR$.
