The purpose of this study was to measure the thickness of masticatory mucosa in the hard palate as a donor site for mucogingival surgery by using computerized tomography(CT), Thickness measurements were performed in 84 adult patients who took CT on maxilla for implant surgery and 24 standard measurement points were defined in the hard palate according to the gingival margin and mid palatal suture. Radiographic measurements were utilized after calibration for standardization. Data were analyzed to determine the differences in mucosal thickness by gender, age, tooth positions and depth of palatal vault. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Mean thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa was $3.93{\pm}0.6mm$ and females had significantly thinner mean masticatory mucosa($3.76{\pm}0.56mm$) than males($4.04{\pm}0.6mm$)(p<0.05). 2. The thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa increased by aging. 3. Depending on position, masticatory mucosa thickness increased from canine to premeolar, but decreased at the first molar, and increased again in the second molar region(p<0.0001). 4. No significant difference in mean thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa were indentified between low palatal vault group and high palatal vault group(p>0.05). The results suggest that canine and premolar area appears to be the most appropriate donor site for soft tissue grafting procedure. The measurement of the thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa by using computerized tomography can offer useful information clinically but further studies in as-sessing the validity and reliability of the method using computerized tomography is needed.

This study reports the results of nondestructive monitoring of macro void developments in mortars manufactured with both ordinary Portland cement and sulfate resistant cement. Two types of curing were utilized; tap water curing and another curing environment that contains 5% $Na_2(SO_4)$ solution. Being the primary objective of this study, macro void developments of the mortar specimens were monitored by X-ray Medical Computerized Tomography. Compressive strength tests and water absorption tests were conducted on specimens that were kept in both curing environments for a duration of 560 days. Data analyses yielded consistent results among the three tests used in this experimental study. Macro void ratios of mortars decreased at the beginning of experiments for a certain period; afterwards, macro void ratios increased. The objective of this study was accomplished as anticipated since X-CT image analysis was able to nondestructively monitor macro void development process in cement mortars.

This paper investigates the current feature of management strategy of hospitals in Korea, and examines the relationships between adoption of a particular strategic orientation and the hospitals environmental and organizational characteristics, strategic behaviors and management improvement activities, and financial performance. Data were collected from CEOs of 88 hospitals among 650 hospitals for a 13.5% response rate using the self-administered questionnaire by mail survey. The major findings that obtained are as follows: 1. Only 37.2% of response hospitals carried out strategic planning, Most of these hospitals established the first strategic planning in 1991(81.3%) and renovated strategic planning by 4 or 5 years(56.3%), and modified strategic planning with flexibility(59.4%). Most strategic plans were documented, but informalized(68.8%). And only 29.0% of these hospitals had independent planning division. 2. Hospital services that CEOs assessed rank ordered for their impact on profitability are as follows: i)diagnostic ultrasound facility, computerized tomography scanner, obstetric inpatient unit, therapeutic X-ray, and physical therapy at present. ii)diagnostic ultrasound facility, physical therapy, computerized tomography scanner, emergency department, and health screening at future. And the services rank ordered that CEOs hoped to introduce are as follows: emergency department, physical therapy, health screening, volunteer services, and computerized tomography scanner. 3. Using a typology developed by Miles and Snow(l978), the strategic orientation of response hospitals are shifting significantly from defenders in the past to analyzers in the present, and to prospectors in the future(p<.01). 4. With regard to hospital environmental and organizational characteristics such as ownership, physician training, location, bed size, and hospital management training career and specialty of CEOs, the four strategic orientation archetypes varied not significantly. But, hospitals with a analyser orientation in the present and a reactor orientation in the future perceived competition significantly higher than the other three archetypes(p<.05). 5. The four archetypes rank ordered in terms of appling strategic behaviors and management improvement activities are as follows: prospector, analyzer, reactor, and defender. 6. The four archetypes differed significantly in terms of their financial performance using revenue per bed(p<.05). Reactors and prospectors in terms of total revenue per bed, prospectors in terms of outpatient revenue per bed, and reactors and prospectors in terms of inpatient revenue per bed had the best performance.

Purpose : This study was performed to provide an anatomical information of the mandibular ramus for the successful inferior alveolar nerve block. Three dimensional images were reconstructed from the computerized tomography (CT) and the anatomical evaluation of the mandibular ramus was done. Materials and methods : Sixty-four patients who had been taken the facial CT scans from 2000, Jan to 2003, June was selected. The patients who had the anterior or posterior teeth misssing, edentulous ridge, and jaw fracture were excepted. In the occulusal plane, the lingual surface angle (LSA) between the mid-sagittal plane and the mandibular molar lingual surface from the 2nd premolar to the 2nd molar, the inner ramal surface angle (IRSA), the maximum inner ramal surface angle (MxIRSA), and the outer ramal surface angle (ORSA) to the-mid sagittal plane were measured. The inner ramal surface angle in the ligular tip level (IRSA-L) and the outer ramal surface angle in the ligular tip level (ORSA-L), the ramal length (RL), and the anterior ramal length (ARL) were also measured in the lingular tip level. Results : In the lingular tip level, the mean IRSA-L and ORSA-L were $28.6{\pm}6.3^{\circ}$ and $17.9{\pm}4.9^{\circ}$ respectively. The larger was the IRSA, the larger was the ORSA. In the lingular tip level, the mean ramal length was 35.8${\pm}$3.4 mm. The larger was the IRSA-L, the shorter was the ramal length. On the lingular tip level, the mean anterior ramal length from anterior ramus to lingular tip was 19.6${\pm}$3.3 mm. when the ramal length was longer, the anterior ramal length was also longer. On the lingular tip level, there was positive correlation vetween the IRSA and the ORSA, negative correlation between the IRSA and the ramal length, and positive correlation between the ramal length and the lingular tip level to the anterior ramus. There was no statistical meaning of data between sex and age. Conclusion : In the clinical view of the results so far achieved, if the direction of needle is closer to posterior it is able to contact bone on lingular tip when the internal surface of ramus is wided outer.

Purpose: This study examined the significance of increased bone density according to time after implantation on maxilla using demographic data with CBCT and compared the bone density between before vs. after implantation using the Hounsfield index. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five implant site on maxilla were selected. Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans were used for the analysis. The implant sites were evaluated digitally using the Hounsfield scale with EzImplant TM and the results were compared over time. Statistical data over time was carried out to determine the correlation between the recorded Hounsfield unit (HU) over time and gender difference using repeated ANOVA. Results: The bone density of implantation site over time showed an increase in the HU mean values. Immediately after implantation, bone density was significantly increased than bone density before implantation. Until 6 month follow-up, bone density showed stable increasement. There is no significant difference on gender. Conclusions: Using CBCT, bone density increased over time after implantation on maxilla. Bone density measurements using CBCT might provide an objective assessment of the bone quality as well as the correlation between bone density and stability of implant.
