Purpose: The aim of the present study is to assess the importance of proper treatment timing for dental emergency patients by characterizing current patient care in the emergency room. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of 3,211 patients who visited the Chosun University Hospital's dental emergency department (Gwangju, Korea) was conducted from January 1, 2011 to May 31, 2014. Information regarding age, gender, onset date, main causes, and diagnoses were collected and analyzed. The main causes were divided into six categories: assault, household/play, sports, traffic, work, and others. Result: Emergency visits were more common for men (69%), and the ratio of males to females was 2.2:1 On average, the major cause was household/play (49.8%), followed by others (18.9%), traffic (16.6%), assault (9.1%), sports (2.9%), and work (2.6%). The most frequent diagnosis on average was dental trauma with 82.4%, followed by infection (10.7%), others (4.7%), and bleeding (2.2%). Conclusion: The main reasons for visits to the dental emergency department are dental trauma, dental infection, bleeding, and others. The most frequent reason for dental emergency patients to visit the emergency department was dental trauma (82.4%).

Research and investigation is required for the exposure dose of radiation workers to work in the dental hospital as increasing interest in exposure dose of the dental hospital recently accordingly, study aim to minimize radiation exposure by making a follow-up study of individual exposure doses of radiation workers, analyzing the status on individual radiation exposure management, prediction the radiation disability risk levels by radiation, and alerting the workers to the danger of radiation exposure. Especially given the changes in the dental hospital radiation safety awareness conducted the study in order to minimize radiation exposure. This study performed analyses by a comparison between general and dental hospital, comparing each occupation, with the 116,220 exposure dose data by quarter and year of 5,811 subjects at general and dental hospital across South Korea from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2012. The following are the results obtained by analyzing average values year and quarter. In term of hospital, average doses were significantly higer in general hospitals than detal ones. In terms of job, average doses were higher in radiological technologists the other workes. Especially, they showed statistically significant differences between radiological technologists than dentists. The above-mentioned results indicate that radiation workers were exposed to radiation for the past 5 years to the extent not exceeding the dose limit (maximum $50mSv\;y^{-1}$). The limitation of this study is that radiation workers before 2008 were excluded from the study. Objective evaluation standards did not apply to the work circumstance or condition of each hospital. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to work out analysis criteria that will be used as objective evaluation standard. It will be necessary to study radiation exposure in more precise ways on the basis of objective analysis standard in the furture. Should try to minimize the radiation individual dose of radiation workers.

The odontogenic myxoma is an benign, slow growing neoplasm which is of ectomesenchymal origin. This neoplasm occurs almost exclusively in the jaw bones and comprises 0.2% to 17.7% of odontogenic tumors. The odontogenic myxoma may show a wide spectrum of radiographic appearances, unilocular, multilocular radiolucency and a distinct or diffuse border, making the differential diagnosis difficult. We present a case of the odontogenic myxoma in the maxilla with conventional and recent image modalities. Occlusal film revealed a medially extended multilocular lesion with intralesional fine and straight trabeculations from the scalloped margin and buccal expansion and thinning of cortical bone. Computed tomogram revealed lesion showed equivalent density to the muscles in the left maxillary sinus with partial cortical discontinuity of medial wall and the tennis-racket pattern with internal straight trabeculations. MRI revealed intermediate signal intensity on Tl weighted image and high signal intensity on T2 weighted image. In Gd enhanced MR image, the peripheral portions of the lesion were enhanced.

Purpose: Antral pseudocyst is a common benign lesion that exists in the maxillary sinus. Because of this possible complication, controversy remains with respect to sinus floor elevation operations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the antral pseudocyst related to maxillary sinus augmentation. Patients and Methods: The radiographs of 268 patients who visited Chosun University Dental Hospital from 2008 to 2010 and underwent the maxillary bone grafting procedure were examined. Results: Of the 268 patients who underwent the maxillary bone grafting procedure, 5 patients (1.86%) were diagnosed with antral pseudocysts. In all cases, maxillary sinus floor elevation was performed without aspiration, biopsy or extraction of the antral pseudocyst. Conclusion: Antral pseudocysts are not considered a contraindication for maxillary sinus bone grafting procedure.

Computer-aided navigation system is helpful in maxillofacial surgery with real time instrument positioning and clear anatomic identification. Generally, completely impacted tooth extraction surgery have e high risk by iatrogenic injury such as, adjacent tooth injury, normal anatomical structure injury. This case report describes performing extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth on anterior maxilla by using the navigation system in a 15 years old male patient.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory joint disorder characterized by sacroiliitis, spondylitis and enthesitis. Patients suffering from AS may also have extra-articular symptoms, such as uveitis, bowl disease, heart, lung, skin, bone and kidney involvement, but vary widely in severity and prevalence. Facial manifestation of AS include eye involvement and temporomandibular joint involvement. In this study, a case of an AS that mimicked dental pain was presented.

최근 사회 경제적인 변화로 소아치과의 진료 양상도 변화하고 있다. 이런 변화 양상을 파악하여 미래에 소아치과가 나아갈 방향성을 제시하고자 본 조사를 실시하였다. 2005년부터 2010년까지 조선대학교 소아치과와 광주의 소아전문 개인치과의원 두 곳에 내원한 모든 신환을 대상으로 조사하였다. 신환의 수는 꾸준한 증가 추세를 보였고, 이 중 남아의 비율이 더 높았으며, 연령별 분포에서는 3~4세군의 내원율이 가장 높았다. 조선대학교 소아치과의 경우 방학 중 내원율이 높았으나, 소아전문 개인 치과의원은 특정 기간과 상관관계가 없었다. 주소 분포에서는 충치가 가장 높은 비율을 보였으며, 예방 및 검진을 위한 내원율의 증가와 함께 불소도포가 증가하였다. 치료 중에서는 수복치료의 비율이 가장 높았으며, 이 중 레진과 글라스아이오노머의 수복이 가장 많았고, 아말감 수복은 감소하였다. 진정치료의 비율은 약간 감소하였고, 소아전문 개인치과의원과 비교해 조선대학교 소아치과에서 더 높은 비율을 보였다.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 개방된 인접면 접촉이 인접하는 자연치와 임플란트에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 조선대학교 치과병원에서 2008부터 2018년 사이에 개방된 인접면 접촉으로 제작된 구치부 임플란트 수복물을 장착한 환자 중에서 유지관리기간이 최소 3년 이상이고 인접하는 자연치아가 건강하면서 대합치가 고정성 수복물인 임플란트를 20개 선정하여 실험군(Group A)으로 하였다. 동일한 선정기준 하에 같은 기간 통상적인 방법으로 제작된 구치부 임플란트 20개를 대조군(Group B)으로 하였다. 두 그룹사이에 임플란트와 접하는 자연치의 우식, 식편압입, 임플란트의 변연골 상실을 비교 평가하였다. 결과: Group A과 Group B 사이에 치아우식과 식편압입 및 변연골 흡수의 발생빈도는 통계학적으로 유의성이 없었다. Group A와 Group B의 평균 변연골 흡수양은 각기 0.80 ± 0.39 mm, 1.1 ± 0.43 mm였으며, 두 그룹사이에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론: 이 실험의 결과내에서, 개방된 인접면 접촉을 가진 임플란트 보철은 인접하는 자연치와 임플란트에 어떠한 유해한 영향을 주지 않으므로 선택적인 상황에서 임상에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
