Purpose : To assess the relationship between the direction of the indicating rod of the radiographic stent for ideal prosthetic design and the actual possible path of implant fixture placement when residual ridge resorption is considered. Materials and Methods: The study materials consisted of 326 implant sites (male 214 cases and female 112 cases) from a total of 106 patients (male 65 patients and female 41 patients) who desired implant prostheses. Computed tomography of patients were taken and reformatted using ToothPix/sup (R)/ software. Bony defects, bony sclerosis, the change of the direction of indicating rod, and root proximity of the adjacent teeth were examined on the CT-derived images. Results: The rate of the irregular crestal cortex was relatively high on premolar and molar area of maxilla. Mandibular molar area showed relatively high rate of focal sclerosis on the area of implant fixture insertion. The position of the indicating rods were relatively acceptable on the molar areas of both jaws. However, the position of the indicating rods should be shifted to buccal side with lingual rotation of the apical end on maxillary anterior teeth and premolar area. Conclusion: Clinically determined rod direction and position of the indicating rod for implant placement was not always acceptable for insertion according to the reformatted CT images. The pre-operative treatment plan for implant should be determined carefully, considering the state of the alveolar bone using the reformatted CT images.

Recently epidemiologic studies have indicated that the patients with periodontitis may have increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular events, and have suggested the important roles of blood cytokines and acute reactant proteins in the systemic infection and inflammatory response. Periodontitis and coronary heart disease (CHD) may share the common risk factors and the genetic mechanism associated with interleukin(IL)-1A, B and RA genotype may be involved in the production of IL-1. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between angiographically defined CHD and periodontitis as chronic Gram-negative bacterial infection and to determine whether the IL-1 gene polymorphism is associated in both diseases. Patients under the age of 60 who had undergone diagnostic coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. Subjects were classified as positive CHD (+CHD, n=37) with coronary artery stenosis more than 50% in at least one of major epicardial arteries, and negative CHD (-CHD, n=30) without significant stenosis. After recording the number of missing teeth, periodontal disease severity was measured by means of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and radiographic bone loss around all remaining teeth. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was collected from the 4 deepest periodontal pockets and assessed for cytokine ($IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-1ra, tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$, and prostaglandin $E_2$). Additionally, blood CHD markers, lipid profile, and blood cytokines were analyzed. IL-1 gene cluster genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction and enzyme restriction using genomic DNA from buccal swab, and allele 2 frequencies of IL-1A(+4845), IL-1B(+3954), IL-B(-511), and IL-1RA(intron 2) were compared between groups. Even though there was no significant difference in the periodontal parameters between 2 groups, GCF level of $PGE_2$ was significantly higher in the +CHD group(p<0.05). Correlation analysis showed the positive relationship among PD, CAL and coronary artery stenosis(%) and blood $PGE_2$. There was also significant positive relationship between the periodontal parameters (PI, PD, CAL) and the blood CHD markers (leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, and lactic dehyrogenase). IL-1 gene genotyping showed that IL-1A(+3954) allele 2 frequency was significantly higher in the +CHD group compared with the -CHD group (15% vs. 3.3%, OR 5.118,p=0.043). These results suggested that periodontal inflammation is related to systemic blood cytokine and CHD markers, and contributes to cardiovascular disease via systemic inflammatory reaction. IL-1 gene polymorphism might have an influence on periodontal and coronary heart diseases in Korean patients.

Background: Mandibular reconstruction is performed after segmental mandibulectomy, and precise repositioning of the condylar head in the temporomandibular fossa is essential for maintaining preoperative occlusion. Methods: In cases without involvement of soft tissue around the mandibular bone, the autopolymer resin in a soft state is pressed against the lower border of the mandible and buccal and lingual sides of the 3D model on the excised side. After hardening, it is shaved with a carbide bar to make the proximal and distal parts parallel to the resected surface in order to determine the direction of mandibular resection. On the other hand, in cases that require resection of soft tissue around the mandible such as cases of a malignant tumor, right and left mandibular rami of the 3D model are connected with the autopolymer resin to keep the preoperative position between proximal and distal segments before surgical simulation. The device is made to fit the lower border of the anterior mandible and the posterior border of the mandibular ramus. The device has a U-shaped handle so that adaptation of the device will not interfere with the soft tissue to be removed and has holes to be fixed on the mandible with screws. Results: We successfully performed the planned accurate segmental mandibulectomy and the precise repositioning of the condylar head by the device. Conclusions: The present technique and device that we developed proved to be simple and useful for restoring the preoperative condylar head positioning in the temporomandibular fossa and the precise resection of the mandible.

The basic principles in the design of Class II amalgam cavity preparations have been modified but not changed in essence over the last 90 years. The early essential principle was "extension for prevention". Most of the modifications have served to reduce the extent of preparation and, thus, increase the conservation of sound tooth structure. A more recent concept relating to conservative Class II cavity preparations involves elimination of occlusal preparation if no carious lesion exists in this area. To evaluate the ideal ClassII cavity preparation design, if carious lesion exists only in the interproximal area, three cavity design conditions were studied: Rodda's conventional cavity, simple proximal box cavity and proximal box cavity with retention grooves. In this study, MO amalgam cavity was prepared on maxillary first premolar. Three dimensional finite element models were made by serial photographic method. Linear, eight and six-nodal, isoparametric brick elements were used for the three dimensional finite element model. The periodontal ligament and alveolar bone surrounding the tooth were excluded in these models. Three types model(B option, Gap option and R option model) were developed. B option model was assumed perfect bonding between the restoration and cavty wall. Gap option model(Gap distance: $2{\mu}m$) was assumed the possibility of play at the interface simulated the lack of real bonding between the amalgam and cavity wall (enamel and dentin). R option model was assumed non-connection between the restoration and cavty wall. A load of 500N was applied vertically at the first node from the lingual slope of the buccal cusp tip. This study analysed the displacement, 1 and 2 direction normal stress and strain with FEM software ABAQUS Version 5.2 and hardware IRIS 4D/310 VGX Work-station. The results were as followed. 1. Rodda's cavity form model showed greater amount of displacement with other two models. 2. The stress and strain were increased on the distal marginal ridge and buccopulpal line angle in Rodda's cavity form model. 3. The stress and strain were increased on the central groove and a part of distal marginal ridge in simple proximal box model and proximal box model with retention grooves. 4. With Gap option, Rodda's cavity form model showed the greatest amount of the stress on distal marginal ridge followed by proximal box model with retention grooves and simple proximal box model in descending order. 5. With Gap option, simple proximal box model showed greater amount of stress on the central groove with proximal box model with retention grooves. 6. Retention grooves in the proximal box played the role of supporting the restorations opposing to loads.

치과보철과에는 장기간 총의치를 사용해 온 고령 환자 중에서 발치 후 시간의 경과와 함께 심하게 치조골이 위축된 상태로 환자들이 종종 내원하게 된다. 통상 하악 총의치는 하악 협붕 부위의 1차 지지를 기반으로 한 개구인상법에 의해 제작하는 것이 일반적이다. 하악 총의치의 유지력 및 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 진단에서부터 의치 주위 조직의 기능 및 의치상의 경계, 교합평면, 악궁의 대합관계, 인공치아의 배열, 저작습관, 그리고 환자에 대한 교육과 장착 후 주의 사항 등을 충분히 고려해두어야 한다. 그러나 치조골 위축이 심하게 발생된 무치악 환자에서 개구인상법을 이용하여 제작한 하악 총의치는 간혹 실제 저작과정에서 유지와 안정에 한계를 보이는 경우가 있기 때문에, 이에 대한 대안으로 폐구인상법을 이용한 총의치 제작 방법을 선호하는 임상가들에 의해 개구인상법과 폐구인상법을 비롯한 다양한 인상채득 방법을 비교한 연구가 보고되기도 하였다. 본 증례에서는 폐구인상법을 토대로 한 기능인상으로 하악 총의치를 제작하여 동일한 환자에서 개구인상법으로 제작한 의치보다 나은 유지력과 안정성을 확인했고, 심하게 치조골이 위축된 상태의 구강조건에서 개구인상법으로 제작한 의치와 폐구인상법으로 제작한 의치의 임상적 결과를 비교한 내용에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: Adipose tissue is located beneath the skin, around internal organs, and in the bone marrow in humans. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body. Adipose tissue also has the ability to dynamically expand and shrink throughout the life of an adult. Recently, it has been shown that adipose tissue contains a population of adult multipotent mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells that, in cell culture conditions, have extensive proliferative capacity and are able to differentiate into several lineages, including, osteogenic, chondrogenic, endothelial cells, and myogenic lineages. Materials and Methods: This study focused on endothelial cell culture from the adipose tissue. Adipose tissues were harvested from buccal fat pad during bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for surgical correction of mandibular prognathism. The tissues were treated with 0.075% type I collagenase. The samples were neutralized with DMEM/and centrifuged for 10 min at 2,400 rpm. The pellet was treated with 3 volume of RBC lysis buffer and filtered through a 100 ${\mu}m$ nylon cell strainer. The filtered cells were centrifuged for 10 min at 2,400 rpm. The cells were further cultured in the endothelial cell culture medium (EGM-2, Cambrex, Walkersville, Md., USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, human EGF, human VEGF, human insulin-like growth factor-1, human FGF-$\beta$, heparin, ascorbic acid and hydrocortisone at a density of $1{\times}10^5$ cells/well in a 24-well plate. Low positivity of endothelial cell markers, such as CD31 and CD146, was observed during early passage of cells. Results: Increase of CD146 positivity was observed in passage 5 to 7 adipose tissue-derived cells. However, CD44, representative mesenchymal stem cell marker, was also strongly expressed. CD146 sorted adipose tissue-derived cells was cultured using immuno-magnetic beads. Magnetic labeling with 100 ${\mu}l$ microbeads per 108 cells was performed for 30 minutes at $4^{\circ}C$ a using CD146 direct cell isolation kit. Magnetic separation was carried out and a separator under a biological hood. Aliquous of CD146+ sorted cells were evaluated for purity by flow cytometry. Sorted cells were 96.04% positivity for CD146. And then tube formation was examined. These CD146 sorted adipose tissue-derived cells formed tube-like structures on Matrigel. Conclusion: These results suggest that adipose tissue-derived cells are endothelial cells. With the fabrication of the vascularized scaffold construct, novel approaches could be developed to enhance the engineered scaffold by the addition of adipose tissue-derived endothelial cells and periosteal-derived osteoblastic cells to promote bone growth.

그 동안 많은 연구와 실험에서 운동 중 외상에 대한 마우스가드의 악골, 치아 및 구강조직의 보호 효과를 확인하였다. 그러나 치아 및 구강조직의 장애는 강한 외상 외에도 힘이 반복적으로 가해지는 이악물기와 같은 장애로도 발생한다. 이러한 장애는 주로 구치부의 병적인 교모, 치조골 흡수, 치아 상실 및 교합의 붕괴로 나타난다. 마우스가드의 장착이 이러한 장애를 예방하는데 유효한 것으로 생각되나 그 효과는 충분히 검토되지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 이악물기에 의해 치아에 발생되는 뒤틀림을 마우스가드가 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는지를 알아보기 위해 스트레인 게이지를 이용 하였다. 7명의 건강한 성인의 치료경험이 없는 하악 제1대구치를 피검치로 선정하고 이축(bi-axial)의 스트레인 게이지를 치아 협면에 접착 하였다. load cell에 의해 측정된 최대 교합력을 기준으로 최초 치아 접촉, 중간 강도의 교합력, 최대 강도의 교합력으로 이악물기 강도를 3단계로 구분 하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 세 단계의 이악물기 강도에서 치아에 발생하는 스트레인을 측정하고, 마우스가드 장착 후에도 같은 방법으로 측정하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전과 후 각각 세단계의 이악물기 단계 사이의 치아에 발생하는 스트레인의 변화를 분석하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 후에 치아에 발생하는 스트레인의 변화를 분석하였다. SPSS 13.0 프로그램을 이용 (Wilcoxon signed rank test) 95%의 유의수준에서 통계분석 하였다. 마우스가드 장착 전 치아에 발생하는 스트레인은 이악물기 강도가 증가함에 따라 증가 하였다. 마우스 장착 후에도 치아에 발생하는 스트레인은 이악물기 강도가 증가함에 따라 증가 하였다. 모든 피검자에서 이 악물기 강도에 상관없이 마우스가드 장착으로 스트레인이 감소하였다. 치아의 최초 접촉 시에만 통계적 유의성이 없었으며 최대 이악물기 강도에서는 치아에 발생되는 스트레인이 50-90% 감소하였다. 마우스가드는 이 악물기에 의해 발생되는 치아의 뒤틀림을 감소시켰다. 그러므로 마우스가드는 운동 중에 의식적 무의식적으로 발생되는 이 악물기에 의한 치아의 손상을 효과적으로 예방할 수 있을 것이다.

근관 치료된 치아의 수복에 있어서 파절은 가장 중요하게 고려되는 점이다. 포스트를 사용해서 수복한다는 것은 치수와 다른 단단한 물질을 근관 내에 삽입한다는 것으로 자연스럽지 못한 구조를 만들어서 고유의 응력분산을 변화시킨다. 오랫동안 수많이 in vitro 연구들이 post-and-core로 수복된 치아의 파절 저항에 대해서 이루어졌지만 어떤 것이 최상의 선택인지에 대해서는 많은 상충되는 관점들이 존재한다. 본 연구의 목적은 유한요소분석법을 사용하여 post-and-core system의 물리적인 성질이 치질의 응력분산에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 어떤 조합이 파절 저항에 도움이 되는지를 알아보는 것이다. 근관 치료된 상악 중절치를 삼차원 유한 요소법으로 Modeling하였다. 1.5 mm의 ferrule 높이를 부여하고 외관은 zirconia ceramic crown으로 지정하였다. 세가지 평행한 형태의 포스트 (zirconia ceramic, glass fiber, and stainless steel)와 두 가지 코어 (Paracore and Tetric ceram) 물질을 6개의 모델로 조합하였다. 각각의 모델은 해면골, 피질골, 치주인대, 그리고 4 mm 근관 충전을 가지도록 설계하였다. 50 N의 정적인 교합력이 치아 장축에서 60도 각도로 치관의 설면에 적용시켰다. 모델들의 응력전달 특징의 차이를 분석하였고, 결과를 나타내는 데는 Maximum von Mises stress 값을 사용하였고 최대 변위량과 정수압도 계산하였다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 경우 높은 탄성계수를 가진 레진 코어 모델 (29.14 MPa)에서 낮은 탄성계수의 코어 모델 (29.21 MPa)보다 더 낮은 응력이 발생하였다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 모델 (0.03497-0.03499 mm)은 다른 포스트로 수복된 모델들 (0.03245-0.03452 mm)보다 더 많은 최대 변위량을 보였다. 이는 glass fiber post로 수복된 치아의 경우가 상대적으로 치아에 가해지는 힘에 의해 더 많이 움직였다는 것을 보여준다. Zirconia ceramic 이나 stainless steel 과 같이 탄성계수가 큰 포스트는 응력을 증가시키지만 포스트가 스트레스를 대부분 흡수하여 치질에는 스트레스가 낮게 나타났다. Glass fiber post로 수복된 모델에서는 코어와 크라운이 만나는 순면 치경부에서 가장 높은 응력이 발생하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution at supporting bone according to the types of connection modality between implant and tooth in the superstrcture. This investigation evaluated the stress patterns in a photoelastic model produced by three different types of dental implants such as Branemark, Steri-Oss, IMZ and resin tooth using the techniques of quasi three dimensional photoelasticity. The teeth-supported bridge had a first molar pontic supported by second premolar and second molar as a control group. The implant and toothsupported bridge had a first molar pontic supported by second premolar and implant posterior retainer as an experimental group. Prostheses were mechanically connected to an adjacent second premolar by the rigid of nonrigid connection, Nonrigid connection used an attachment placed between the tooth-supported and fixture-supported component. The female(keyway) of attachment was placed on the distal end of the retainer supported by the tooth ; the male(Key) of attachment connected to the osseointegrated bridge was engaged into the keyway. All prostheses were casted in the same nonprecious alloy and were cemented and screwed on their respective abutments and implants. 16㎏ of vertical loads on central fossae of second premolar, first molar pontic, implant of second molar were applied respectively and 6.5㎏ of inclined load on middle buccal surface of first molar pontic was applied. The results were as follows : 1. Under the vertical load on the central fossa of first mloar pontic, the stress developed at the apex of tooth of implat was more uniformly distributed in the case of nonrigid connection than in the case of rigid connection. 2. Under the vertical load on the central fossa of first molar pontic, the stress developed around the cervical area of tooth of implant was larger in the case of rigid connection than in the case of nonrigid connection because the bending moment was more occured in the case of rigid connection than in the case of nonrigid connection. 3. Stress was more restricted to the loaded side of nonrigid connection than to that of rigid connection 4. Under the inclined load. The set screw loosening of implant was more easily occured in the case of nonrigid connection than in the case of rigid connection due to torque moment. 5. In the case of Branemark implant, the stress concentration in second premolar was larger and the stress developed around the cervical area of implant was lower than any other cases under the vertical load, because Branemark implant with the flexible gold screw was showed in incline toward second premolar by a bending moment. 6. The stress developed around the apex of tooth or implant was more uniformly distributed in the case of Steri-Oss implant with stiff screw than in the case of Branemark implant under the vertical load. But, the stress developed around the cervical area of the Steri-Oss implant was larger than that of any other implants because bending moment was occured by vertical migration of second premolar. 7. The stress distribution in the case of IMZ implant was similar to the case of natural teeth under small vertical load. But, the residual stress around the implant was showed to occurdue to deformation of IMC and sinking of screw under larger vertical load.
