After periodontal surgery, the potential healing responses were occurred by interaction among junctional epithelium, gingival connective tissue, alveolar bone and periodontal ligament. The only cell that created periodontal regeneration was derived from periodontal ligament. The aim of the study was to evaluate the regenerative effects of the collagen membrane($collacote^{\circ}C$) and autogenous connective tissure graft with periosteum. Experimental periodontitis were created in furcation area of 4 adult dogs with bone removal and gutta percha packing. After 6 weeks later, the gutta percha was removed and experiment was performed divided by 3 groups. 1) Flap operation(control group). 2) Flap operation with collage membrane(Experimental group I). 3) Flap operation with autogenous connective tissue graft with periosteum (Experimental group II). After dogs were sacrificed after two and three weeks, specimens were prepared and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and masson-trichrome stain for light microscopic study. The results were as follows : 1. In all gruoups, connective tissue compartments were increased from two to three weeks especially in experimental group I. 2. Collagen membrane and connective tissue were increased collagen deposits of periodontal ligament. Therefore collagen fiber attached to tooth surface was seen. 3. In al experimental groups, newly forming alveolar bone was seen. 4. Collagen membrane and connective tissue were which prevented proliferation of epithelium, aided connective tissue new attachment and influenced periodontal regeneration.

Multicentric chondrosarcoma other than the mesenchymal subtype is rare separate entity. We experienced a case with nonmonomelic synchronous multicentric chondrosarcoma without any preexisting lesions of Oilier's disease or Maffucci's syndrome. To our knowledge, there was no report of synchronous nonmonomelic multicentric chondrosarcoma. A thirty-three year old man had right distal thigh pain of one and half year. Bone scan showed hot lesions on medial condyle of right femur and shaft of left femur. Plain X-ray showed osteolytic lesion on right femur and slight cortical thickening and calcific lesion was observed on left femoral shaft. Curettage and bone cement filling was done on both lesions. The pathology reports were grade I chondrosarcoma on both side of femur. At one month from operation, pathologic fracture of left femur occurred on bone cement-host bone junction. Conservative treatment and radiotherapy of 60Gy was done. At 8 months from operation, nonunion was evident. Segmental resection of left femur with contralateral fibula graft and second look operation on right condyle lesion were done. At 6 months from revision, fracture occurred at host-graft bone junction. We removed previous hardware and applied long DCP and massive autogenous bone graft. Afterwards, the patient looks good and union was progressing. But at 4 years from last operation, hypertrophic nonunion occurred. Another revision was done with condylar plate and bone graft and now he is well without any sign of local recurrence or metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superficial bony healing after guided bony regeneration using a various bone grafts. Four types of bone grafts were performed by one oral and maxillofacial surgeon to restore the defects around endosseous implants. Group I included the allografts using $Regenaform^{(R)}$. Group 2 included the autograft. Group 3 included the combined grafts using with autogenous symphysis bone and xenograft($BioOss^{(R)}$). Group 4 included the xenograft($BioOss^{(R)}$). After some heling period, superficial bone biopsy was performed with the surgical blade(#15) during the second surgery. Histologic and histomorphmetric examination were carried out by one pathologist. There was the most new bone formation in the group 3, next group 2. However, there were no statistically significant differences. All group except for group 4 showed favorable bone formation and remodeling.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 2 years cumulative survival rate of implants on augmented sinus area using MBCP, mixture of MBCP and ICB, and mixture of MBCP and autogenous bone by means of clinical and radiologic methods. Materials and Methods: In a total of 37 patients, 41 maxillary sinuses were augmented and 89 implant fixtures were installed simultaneously or after a regular healing period. The patients were divided in 3 groups: MBCP only, MBCP combined with ICB, MBCP combined with autogenous bone. After delivery of prosthesis, along 2 years of observation period, all implants were evaluated clinically and radiologically. And the results were as follows. Results: The results of this study were as follows. 1. A 2 year cumulative survival rate of implants placed with sinus augmentation procedure using MBCP was 97.75%. 2. Survival rate of implants using MBCP only was 97.62%, MBCP and ICB was 100%, MBCP and autogenous bone was 95%. There was no statistically significant difference between 3 groups. 3. Only 2 of 89 implants were lost before delivery of prosthesis, so it can be regarded as an early failure. And both were successfully restored by wider implants. Conclusion: It can be suggested that MBCP may have predictable result when used as a grafting material of sinus floor augmentation whether combined with other graft(ICB, autogenous bone) or not. And the diameter, length, location of implants did not have a significant effect on 2 year cumulative survival rate.

Numerous techniques of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been described in literature. All have inherent advantages and disadvantages. The central one-third patellar tendon and hamstring tendons are the most commonly used autogenous tissues for replacement of a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Although the central one-third patellar tendon is considered to be 'the gold standard' for replacement of torn ACL. equivalent results have been reported using hamstring tendon grafts. Autogenous hamstring grafts provide adequate strength while avoiding donor site morbidity associated with bone-tendon-bone harvest. $EndoButton^{\circledR}$ femoral fixation allows precise femoral tunnel placement without a second incison. The purpose of this article is to describe surgical techniques using a quadrupled semitendinosus tendon and $EndoButton^{\circledR}$ fixation, and review the results of replacement of ACL.

Bone grafts are widely used in the reconstruction of osseous defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Autogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard in grafting of the oral and maxillofacial region, because of its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Mandibular symphysis & ascending ramus bone graft have been used more frequently because of easy surgical access, reduced operative time, and following minimal morbidity. However, even though the frequent use of the anterior part of ascending ramus and the different regions of mandible, rare of the reports provide information about the quantity of bone available in this donor site. So this study was taken to evaluate & quantify the amount of bone graft material in the anterior ascending ramus regions. This study was made on 36 samples of CT image. In 3D volume image, imaginary osteotomy & segmentation were done and the dimensions and volume of the bone grafts were measured and evaluated. the average volume of the graft materials obtained from the ascending ramus was $3656.83{\pm}108.19mm^3$, and the average dimensions of graft materials were $(33.68{\pm}0.48){\times}(34.92{\pm}0.51){\times}(15.96{\pm}0.27){\times}(9.05{\pm}0.27)mm$.

The bone graft materials are grossly divided into autogenous bone, allogenic bone, xenogenic bone, and alloplastic material. Among the various allogenic graft materials, hydroxyapatite($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, HA), the main inorganic phase of human hard tissue, is widely used as a repair material for bones. When HA applied to bony defect, however, it may be encapsulated with fibrous tissue and floated in the implanted area by the lack of consolidation. Fluoridated hydroxyapatite($Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, FHA), where F- partially replaces the OH- in the hydroxyapatite, is considered as an alternative material for bone repair due to its solubility and biocompatibility. This study was designed to find out the bone healing capacity of FHA newly produced as a nanoscale fiber in the laboratory. We implanted HA and FHA in the rabbit cranium defect and histologically analysed the specimen. The results were as follows. 1. In the 4 weeks, fibrous connective tissue and little bone formation around materials of the experimental group I implanted HA were observed. In the experimental group II implanted FHA, newly formed bone around materials were observed. 2. In the 8 weeks, the amount of newly formed and matured bone of the experimental group II was more than the experimental group I and control group. From the results obtained, we suggest that FHA, newly synthesized, is relatively favorable bone substitute with bioconpatibility and has better bone healing capacity than pure HA.

Loss of maxillary molar teeth leads to rapid loss of crestal bone and inferior expansion of the maxillary sinus floor (secondary pneumatization). Rehabilitation of the site with osseointegrated dental implants often represents a clinical challenge because of the insufficient bone volume resulted from this phenomenon. Boyne & James proposed the classic procedure for maxillary sinus floor elevation entails preparation of a trap door including the Schneiderian membrane in the lateral sinus wall. Summers proposed another non-invasive method using a set of osteotome and the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) was proposed for implant sites with at least 5-6mm of bone between the alveolar crest and the maxillary sinus floor. The change of grafted material in maxillary sinus is important for implant survival and the evaluation of graft height after maxillary sinus floor elevation is composed of histologic evaluation and radiomorphometric evaluation. The aim of the present study was radiographically evaluate the graft height change after maxillary sinus floor elevation and the influence of the graft material type in height change and the bone remodeling of grafts in sinus. A total of 59 patients (28 in lateral approach and 31 in crestal approach) who underwent maxillary sinus floor elevation composed of lateral approach and crestal approach were radiographically followed for up to about 48 months. Change in sinusgraft height were calculated with respect to implant length (IL) and grafted sinus height(BL). It was evaluated the change of the graft height according to time, the influence of the approach technique (staged approach and simultaneous approach) in lateral approach to change of the graft height, and the influence of the type of graft materials to change of the graft height. Patients were divided into three class based on the height of the grafted sinus floor relative to the implant apex and evaluated the proportion change of that class (Class I, in which the grafted sinus floor was above the implant apex; Class II, in which the implant apex was level with the grafted sinus floor; and Class III, in which the grafted sinus floor was below the implant apex). And it was evaluated th bone remodeling in sinus during 12 months using SGRl(by $Br\ddot{a}gger$ et al). The result was like that; Sinus graft height decreased significantly in both lateral approach and crestal approach in first 12 months (p$MBCP^{TM}$ had minimum height loss. Class III and Class II was increased by time in both lateral and crestal approach and Class I was decreased by time. SGRI was increased statistically significantly from baseline to 3 months and 3 months(p<0.05) to 12 months(p$ICB^{(R)}$ single use, more reduction of sinusgraft height was appeared. Therefore we speculated that the mixture of graft materials is preferable as a reduction of graft materials. Increasing of the SGRI as time goes by explains the stability of implant, but additional histologic or computed tomographic study will be needed for accurate conclusion. From the radiographic evaluation, we come to know that placement of dental implant with sinus floor elevation is an effective procedure in atrophic maxillary reconstruction.

This study is retrospective analysis of 31 patients treated by arthroscopically assisted ACL reconstruction, from September 1995 to September 1996. ACL reconstructions using autogenous bone patellar tendon bone (B-PT-B) were done in 18 patients, and using hamstring tendon were done in 13 patients. We used four-stranded hamstring tendon grafts and fixed the grafts using Endobutton and screw. The mean postoperative Lysholm knee score was 87.2 points in B-PT-B. group, and 89.0 points in hamstring tendon group. There were no clinically significant results between two groups in Telos test, quadriceps atrophy, Lachman test, anterior drawer test and pivot shift test, but the incidences of anterior knee pain were lower in hamstring group. Four-stranded hamstring tendon graft showed enough stability and good functional outcome similar to that of patellar tendon graft, and had an advantage of quicker return of quadriceps function and less donor site morbidity.

Mandibular discontinuity defect due to benign tumor, malignant tumor, infection, or truma results in major esthetic and biologic compromise. The primary goal of reconstruction is full restitution of function, which secondarily lead to normalization of the cosmetic deformity. The authors make a clinical study of 61 consecutive bone graft cases for mandibular reconstruction of discontinuity defect which were studied retrospectively using clinical data and radiographic findings. The cases were reviewed to evaluate the clinical success in the period from 1981 to 1990 in the Dept. of Oral & maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. The criteria of the success in bone graft, are no residual infection, graft in with maintain its integrity, and remain over a half of its original size of graft in the radiographic features. The purpose of this clinical survey is to study of the mandibular discontinuity defects and success rate of free bone graft in mandibular defects. To summarize the clinical study of free bone graft, the main type of autogenous bone graft is iliac bone and corticocancellous type. Overall success rate is 80.3% in 61 followup cases over 6 months. Wire fixation and Extraoral approach has realtively better prognosis than other methods. It showed relatively poor prognosis in symphysis defects than other recipient site.
