Few changes were found in the mouths of 52 smokers were examined as a part of program to evaluate the oral health of Korean smokers. 52 smokers and 30 non-smokers were performed careful oral examination. In many of smokers, heavy, black deposits are found on the buccal and lingual surfaces of the teeth and leukoplakia were obsreved in 2 subjects and varied merely in the severity of the involvement. Cytologic studies were carried out on 60 oral smears from the hard palate, buccal mucosa, and gingiva. Smears were taken wit a wood spatula scraped over the mucosal surface. After fixation the slides were stained using the papanicolau cells without nuclei. The cornified cells were smaller than the noncornified cells and stained a deep brown or orange as compared with the blue or red of the large, round or polygonal cells in nonkeratinized regions of oral mucosa. Abnormal cell forms, suggestive of malignancy were not found in smears from the mucosa of smokers. Cells with large hyperchromatic nuclei and elongated, spindle-type cells with large nuclei were not observed.

The patient, 19 years old female, complained of protrusion of upper and lower anterior teeth. Teeth lining was good except slight crowding in lower anterior teeth. Teeth lining was good except slight crowding in lower incisors, but distocclusion in the region of right buccal segment was present. Cephalometric analysis revealed normal relation between maxilla and cranial base. The labial inclination of upper and lower anterior teeth was severe, so diagnosed as bialveolar protrusion case. She was treated by means of multibanded system under the extraction of four first bicuspids. After 1 year and 4 months. She gained good interdigitation of buccal segments and attractive facial profile because the labioversion of incisors was reduced properly.

This case report illustrates the successful treatment of a patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion and an unesthetic smile involving excessive gingival display and large buccal corridors. By applying dual buccal interradicular miniscrews, total intrusion of the maxillary dentition along with distalization was induced to improve both the occlusion and smile esthetics. In addition to the conventional cephalometric superimposition, three-dimensional superimposition was performed and evaluated to validate the treatment outcome.

The aim of this report is to present the treatment of a 14-year-old boy with scissors-bite. Mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis (MSDO) with tooth-supported distractor was performed to expand the mandible, and intermaxillary cross elastics were used. The mandible was expanded approximately 9 mm. Asymmetric widening was done by using cross elastics and MSDO simultaneously. The buccal crossbite was corrected successfully. After a 2-year observation period, widening of the mandible using this procedure was judged to be stable.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common type of malignant neoplasm in the minor salivary gland. The hard palate is a frequently involved site of MEC. The treatment of low-grade MEC on the hard palate is wide local resection with a tumor-free margin. In the present case, the maxillary defect was reconstructed using a buccal fat pad (BFP) flap, followed by application of 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) ointment for 2 weeks. The grafted BFP successfully covered the tumor resection defect without tension and demonstrated complete re-epithelialization without any complications.

The tests on the individual cusp inclination of the posterior teeth were performed on the fifty normal subjects selected from the students of Seoul National University, Collage of Dentistry. Especially, bucco-lingual cusp inclinations and open angles were measured by means of the cusp inclination measuring instrument device by authors. The results were as follows; 1. The differences between the right and left side teeth were hardly recognized. 2. In bucco-lingual relationship, lingual cusps in upper molars and buccal cusps in lower molars revealed higher degrees than buccal cusps in upper molars and lingual cussps in lower molars 3. Generally, the differences between upper and lower teeth were not clearly defined, and the cusp angles of the molars were greater than those of the premolars. 4. The rough basis of the curve of Wilson was recognized

This report is to show healing process of two cases of buccal bifurcation cyst (BBC) developed from the mandibular deciduous second molars. Extracting the involved deciduous teeth led to marsupialization of the cysts and promoted eruption of the associated successors without orthodontic force. The cyst-associated premolars in the two cases erupted faster than the premolars on the contralateral noncyst side. The cysts were completely filled with normal bone. The monitoring radiographs showed bone healing, root formation, and path of eruption of the associated teeth after marsupialization of BBC.

Purpose: To measure the differences of the splint pin angulation and the position of the planned implant site after conventional tomographic analysis. Materials and Methods: The angulation and the location of the metal splint pin retained in acrylic stent were compared with the corrected angulation and the location of the implant fixture on the 331 tomographic images. Results: The stent pins were located buccal in 40%, lingual in 10% to the corrected implant site after analysis of the conventional tomographic image. The angle and the location of the maxillary splint pin were mainly directed buccal on incisor and canine regions. The angle and the location of the splint pins in premolar and molar regions needed less corrections in both maxilla and mandible. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the use of tomographs was essential for successful dental implant planning.

The auther performed this experimental study on cervical margin distortion in preheating method during soldering. 1. In soldering methods, the method using the furnace has less distortion than the method using open-flame and longer the bridge spon, the larger the distortions. 2. Table Ⅰ Showed that buccal margin, lingual margin, mesial margin and distal margin had respectively 0.01mm, 0.02mm, 0.03mm, 0.03mm closer adaptation in 3 unit bridge than in 5 unit bridges. 3. Table II showed that buccal margin, lingual margin, mesial margin and distal margin had respectively 0.06mm, 0.07mm, 0.11mm, 0.05mm closer adaptation in 3 unit bridge than in 5 unit bridges.

Now a days, immediate implant placement: is becoming one of the popular method. But for the success of this method in implant surgery, initial stability and establishment of sufficient blood supply to the implant placement: areas are very important. Buccal Fat Pad(BFP) has favorable characteristics for the reconstruction of maxillary hard &soft tissue defects. So it has been used for reconstruction of posterior maxillary area or closure of oro-antral area. Using BFP, we could get primary tissue closure without extensive releasing incision during implant surgery and adequate attached gingival after healing of the surgical area. So We report clinical usefulness of BFG during immediate important placement in the posterior maxillary area
