Objectives: Pericoronitis was the most common indication for mandibular third molar surgery and there are no universally acceptable predictive criteria for pericoronitis occurrence. This study was designed to analyze the correlation of the pericoronitis and the eruption state of the mandibular third molar using panoramic radiographs statistically. Materials and Methods: 218 patients whose chief complaint was the extraction of the mandibular third molar were examined. The presence and absence of pericoronitis, age, sex, position of extraction site, angulation, impaction degree, position to the anterior border of mandibular ramus, distance between distal cementoenamel junction of second molar and mesial cementoenamel junction of the mandibular third molar were assessed. Then the correlation of pericoronitis and the eruption state of the mandibular third molar were analyzed by Student's t-test and chi-square test. Results: There was no correlation between Pericoronitis and age, sex, position of the mandibular third molar. The angulation(P=0.005), impaction degree(P=0.043), relation with anterior border of mandibular ramus(P=0.003), distance between distal cementoenamel junction of second molar and mesial cementoenamel junction of the mandibular third molar(P<0.05) were correlated with pericoronitis. Conclusions: The occurrence of the pericoronitis can be predicted by the eruption state of the mandibular third molar such as angulation, impaction degree, relation with anterior border of mandibular ramus, distance between distal cementoenamel junction of second molar and mesial cementoenamel junction of third molar.

The present study evaluated of regeneration effect of platelet rich plasma on the treatment of grade II furcation involvement, with coralline calcium phosphate bone in humans. 30 teeth with grade II furcation defect were selected and 15 teeth(control) were treated with coralline calcium phosphate bone, the others(test) were treated with coralline calcium phosphate bone and platelet rich plasma. Pocket depth, clinical attachment level, width of keratinized gingiva width were measured at baseline, postoperative 3, 6months. from cementoenamel junction to alveolar crest and fundus were measured at baseline, 6months(re-entry). Both groups were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed Ranks Test & Mann-whitney Test using SPSS program(5% significance level). The results were as follows: 1. Pocket depth, clinical attachment level, keratinized gingva width, cementoenamel junction - alveolar crest, cementoenamel junction - fundus were not differ significantly in both groups at baseline 2. The change of pocket depth, clinical attachment level, keratinized gingva width, cementoenamel junction - alveolar crest, cementoenamel junction - fundus in both groups were decreased significantly at 3, 6months(p<0.05). 3. The change of pocket depth, clinical attachment level in test group decreased significantly than control at 3, 6months(p<0.05). 4. The change of keratinized gingiva width, cementoenamel junctional - alveolar crest, cementoenamel junction - fundus were not differ significantly in both groups at 3, 6months. 5. The pocket depth, clinical attachment level, keratinized gingiva width exhibited marked changes at 3 months in both groups. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that platelet rich plasma have adjunctive clinical treatment effect to periodontal regeneration in grade II furcation defects.

The purposes of this study were to compare the bleaching efficacy of sodium perborate when mixed either with Superoxol or distilled water and to evaluate the efficacy of different location of intracoronal base on the presence of apical leakage of tested bleaching agents. Forty eight extracted human permanent incisors were stained via whole blood and canal fillings with conventional gutta percha were performed after routine biomechanical perparations. The experimental intracoronal base was placed either at the cementoenamel junction(group 3, 4) or 2mm below cementoenamel junction(group 1, 2). Walking bleaching was performed by two different combinations of bleaching agents : sodium perborate with distilled water in group 1, 3 and sodium perbrate with Superoxol in group 2, 4. The roots of the teeth were evaluated for the presence of color change to assess the leakage of bleaching agents and the cervical one-thirds of the crown were evaluated for bleaching effect from the whiteness Indea calculated by spectrophotometer. The results were as follows : 1. At the end of 12 days, all the sample teeth demonstrated the increase of Whiteness Index at cervical 1/3 of crown although there were some minor differences among groups. 2. Regardless of location of the base, sodium perborate with superoxol(group 2, 4) showed better results in bleaching than the sodium perborate with distilled water(group 1, 3). 3. Bleaching agent leaked into the root area when the base was placed 2mm below cementoenamel junction but no leakage was found when the base was placed at the cementoenamel junction.

The thirty six mandibular second molars, which were extracted because of hopeless tooth due to advanced periodontal disease, were measured the length of mesial and distal root and the distance from cementoenamel junction to root separation. The molars were cross-sectioned every 1.5 milimeter from cementoenamel junction to root apex perpendicular to long axis and each section was photographed, projected and measured with a calibrated Digital Curvi-Meter(Com Curvi-8. Japan). The root surface area (RSA), percentage of the RSA and the linear variation of the RSA were calibrated for each 1. 5 mm section. The results were as follows. 1. The mean length of the roots was 12. 98mm for mesial root, 11.84 mm for distal root. The mesial root was longer than distal root.(p<0.01) 2. The mean distance from the cementoenamel junction to the point at which the root separate from the root trunk was 3.82mm for the buccal furcation and 4.75mm for lingual furcation. The buccal root separation was coronal than the lingual root separation.(p<0.01) 3. The total root surface area was $317.78mm^2$. 4. The mean surface area of the root trunk was $150.06mm^2$ and averaged 42.54% of the total root surface area. 5. The mean root surface area was $88.79\;mm^2$ for the mesial root, $78.93mm^2$ for distal root, The mesial root surface area was wider than the distal root surface area.(p<0.05) 6. In comparision, the mean root trunk surface area of the mandibular 2nd molar was wider than that of mandibular 1st molar(p<0.01), but each root of 2nd molar was smaller than that of 1st molar(p<0.01).

The purpose of this study was to analyse the center of resistance of the maxillary first molar using the 3-dimension finite element method. An extracted maxillary first molar of normal shape and average root length was selected and sectioned every 1.5mm parallel to the cementoenamel junction. Each section was traced and digitized to construct 3-D finite element model of the maxillary first molar. After a certain magnitude of counterbalancing moment(M) was applied to the tooth, a varying single force(F) of distomesial direction was applied to a certain point of th tooth until the tooth was translated. The force producing translation(Ft) was substituted to the equation ${\Delta}d=M/Ft$ to calculate the center of resistance of the maxillary first molar. And reducing the alveolar bone level 1.68mm, and 3.36mm below to the cementoenamel junction, the tooth movement was analysed to see the effect of reducing the alveolar bone level to the location of the center of resistance. The results were as follows ; 1. The center of resistance of the maxillary first molar was 3.72mm apical, 1.10mm buccal, and 0.71mm mesial to the geometric center of the horizontally sectioned surface at the cementoenamel junction. This point was 0.36mm apical, 1.20mm buccal, and 0.71mm mesial to the trifurcation point, indicating that it was not on the tooth root. 2. As the alveolar bone level was reduced, the center of resistance of the maxillary first molar was moved to the apical direction.

Bases have been used in order to prevent the leakage of bleachingagents through dentinal tubules in bleached teeth. But the proximal surfaces where the actual resorption takes place havenot been protected. The purpose of this study was to compare the conventional basing method with the basing of the labial and two proximal surfaces to the cementoenamel junction. The bases were placed after conventional root canal treatment. Group I: 2mm thickness bases were placed to the level of labial cementoenamel junction line. Group II : 2mm thickness bases were placed to the level of all c-e J lines including cervical area. Control : No bases were placed. After placement of sodium perborate and 30% hydrogen peroxide mixtureinto the teeth, the changes of pH were measured. The results were as follows. 1. Group II showed smaller leakage of bleaching agents and was statistically significant difference compared to Group I.(p<0.05) 2. Group I showed no statistically significant difference compared to the control group. (p>0.05) 3. There were no significant among the upper and lower teeth groups in each group and between the groups.(p>0.05). According to the above results, it was considered that basing of the labial and proximal surfaces to the cementoenamel junction can reduce the leakage of bleaching agents during bleaching procedure of pulplessteeth.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate four different composite resins in vitro for microleakage in Class II box type restorations that have gingival margins apical to the cementoenamel junction. Forty caries free extracted human molars were used in this study. The Class II cavities were prepared 1.0mm below cementoenamel junction with a #701 carbide bur. The teeth were randomly divided into four groups, each group comprising 20 treated cavities according to adhesives and filling materials ; Group 1: Scotchbond Multipurpose/Z 100. Group 2: Ariston Liner/Ariston pHc, Group 3: One Step/Pyramid, Group 4: Prime & Bond NT/SureFil. To simulate the clinical situation during restoration placement, a restoration template was fabricated and composite resin was filled using a three sited light-curing incremental technique. The specimens were stored in the 100% humidity for 7 days prior to thermocycling. The specimens were immersed in 2% methylene blue dye solution for 24 hours and then embeded in transparent acrylic resin and sectioned mesiodistally with a diamond wheel saw. The degree of marginal leakage was scored under the stereomicroscope($\times$20) and the data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney test. (omitted)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of bleaching agent through the dentinal tubules of cervical area in the intracoronal bleaching of pulpless teeth on cutured fibroblast cells. Extracted human incisors were enlarged to # 40 K-file and obturated with gutta-perella and AH 26 sealer. The gutta-percha was removed to 2mm below the cementoenamel junction of the root The teeth were divided into 3 experimental and control groups. Experimental groups; Experimental group 1: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity. Experimental group 2: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity after placement of ZOE cement to cementoenamel junction. Experimental group 3: Temporary inlay wax filld with 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity after application of Copalite to cementoenamel junction. Control group: Temporary inlay wax filled without 30% $H_2O_2$ in pulp cavity under the same condition at each experimental group. Each tooth was immersed in well of multidish cultured fibroblast cell for 48 hours. The cellular multiplication and cell viability were calculated at the interval of 1, 3, 5. 7 hours and the morphological changes in well were observed and their photographs were taken with inverted microscope. The obtained results were as follows : CD The cellurar multiplicaton and cell viability decreased in all experimental groups at 1 hour after experiment and the morphology of fibroblast cell was changed from star shape to round (2) The cell viability was lowered to 34 % in experemental group 1, 44 % in experimental group 2, and 38 % in experemental group 3 at 3 hours after experiment (3) The cell multiplication was decreased to 54% in experemental group 1. 47% in experimental group 2, and 40% in experemental group 3 at 7 hours after experiment. (4) The decrease of cell number and morphological changes of fibroblast cell were remarkable in experimental group 1, group 3 and 2 in order. These results suggest that the fibroblast cells receive severe damage by 30% $H_2O_2$ solution leaked through the dentinal tubules and the dentinal tubules are able to be obturated better by ZOE cement than by Copalite.

Distal caries of the second molar is common indication for the mandibular third molar surgery and there are no universally acceptable predictive criteria for distal caries of the second molar. To analyze the correlation of the distal caries of the second molar and the eruption state of the mandibular third molar using panoramic radiographs statistically and propose the acceptable guideline for preventive extraction of the mandibular third molar. 786 patients who were extracted the mandibular third molar from 2002 to 2006 at Samsung medical center were examined. The presence and absence of distal caries of mandibular second molar, age, gender, angulation, impaction degree, distance between distal cementoenamel junction of the second molar and mesial cementoenamel junction of the mandibular third molar were assessed. 79.6% of third molars had a mesial angulation of between $40^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}$. The mean age of third molar removal for distal caries of second molar was $33.86{\pm}9.81$. The prophylactic removal of a mesio-angular third molar about $40^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}$ could prevent distal cervical caries forming in the mandibular second molar.
