이번 연구에서는 상악 중절치의 편측성 맹출 장애의 원인을 조사하고 매복된 치아들의 매복깊이, 매복각도, 치근발육 상태를 치과용 Cone-beam CT로 분석하여 치료방향을 예측하는데 도움이 되고자 하였다. 총 134명의 환자 중 상악 중절치의 편측성 맹출 장애로 진단된 평균연령은 7.9세였으며, 남자가 여자보다 2.1배 더 높은 빈도를 나타냈다. 맹출 장애의 주원인은 물리적 장애물로 과잉치와 치아종이 대부분을 차지하였다. 편측성 맹출 장애를 보였던 치아 중 물리적 장애물을 제거한 후, 78증례는 자발적으로 맹출하였으며 56증례는 비자발적으로 맹출하였다. 또한 편측성 매복 상악 중절치의 자발적 혹은 비자발적 맹출은 매복깊이, 매복각도, 치근발육 정도와 연관성이 있었다. 정상적으로 맹출한 치아의 매복 각도는 $50^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ 사이였으며, 매복 상악 중절치의 자발적 맹출 빈도도 이 범위에서 가장 높았다. 또한 자발적 맹출에 걸린 시간은 매복각도와 치근 발육보다 매복깊이와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 비자발적 맹출을 보였던 치아들 중 대부분은 교정적 견인에 의해 구강내로 맹출 되었고, 그 기간은 약 12개월 정도 걸렸으며, 교정적 견인기간은 매복깊이, 매복각도, 치근발육 정도와 통계적인 유의성을 나타내지 않았다. 이번 연구의 결과들은 편측성 상악 중절치 맹출 장애의 원인과 치료에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있었으며, 치료 결과를 제공함으로써 향후 치료계획을 세우는데 도움이 될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the geometric accuracy of thoracic anatomic landmarks as target surrogates of intrapulmonary tumors for manual rigid registration during image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Methods: Kilovolt cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images acquired during IGRT for 29 lung cancer patients with 33 tumors, including 16 central and 17 peripheral lesions, were analyzed. We selected the "vertebrae", "carina", and "large bronchi" as the candidate surrogates for central targets, and the "vertebrae", "carina", and "ribs" as the candidate surrogates for peripheral lesions. Three to six pairs of small identifiable markers were noted in the tumors for the planning CT and Day 1 CBCT. The accuracy of the candidate surrogates was evaluated by comparing the distances of the corresponding markers after manual rigid matching based on the "tumor" and a particular surrogate. Differences between the surrogates were assessed using 1-way analysis of variance and post hoc least-significant-difference tests. Results: For central targets, the residual errors increased in the following ascending order: "tumor", "bronchi", "carina", and "vertebrae"; there was a significant difference between "tumor" and "vertebrae" (p = 0.010). For peripheral diseases, the residual errors increased in the following ascending order: "tumor", "rib", "vertebrae", and "carina"; There was a significant difference between "tumor" and "carina" (p = 0.005). Conclusions: The "bronchi" and "carina" are the optimal surrogates for central lung targets, while "rib" and "vertebrae" are the optimal surrogates for peripheral lung targets for manual matching of online and planned tumors.

Background: The utilization of a cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-assisted surgical template allows for predictable results because implant placement plans can be performed in the actual surgery. In order to assess the accuracy of the CT-guided surgery, angular errors and shoulder/apex distance errors were evaluated by data fusion from before and after the placement. Methods: Computer-guided implant surgery was performed in five patients with 19 implants. In order to analyze differences of the implant fixture body between preoperative planned implant and postoperative placed implant, angular error and distance errors were evaluated. Results: The mean angular errors between the preoperative planned and postoperative placed implant was $3.84^{\circ}{\pm}1.49^{\circ}$; the mean distance errors between the planned and placed implants were $0.45{\pm}0.48mm$ horizontally and $0.63{\pm}0.51mm$ vertically at the implant neck and $0.70{\pm}0.63mm$ horizontally and $0.64{\pm}0.57mm$ vertically at the implant apex for all 19 implants. Conclusions: It is important to be able to utilize these methods in actual clinical settings by improving the various problems, including the considerations of patient mouth opening limitations, surgical guide preparation, and fixation.

Objective : Fixation of the C1-2 segment is challenging because of the complex anatomy in the region and the need for a high degree of accuracy to avoid complications. Preoperative 3D-computed tomography (CT) scans can help reduce the risk of complications in the vertebral artery, spinal cord, and nerve roots. However, the patient may be susceptible to injury if the patient's anatomy does not match the preoperative CT scans. The intraoperative 3D image-based navigation systems have reduced complications in instrument-assisted techniques due to greater accuracy. This study aimed to compare the radiologic outcomes of C1-2 fusion surgery between intraoperative CT image-guided operation and fluoroscopy-guided operation. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the radiologic images of 34 patients who underwent C1-2 fusion spine surgery from January 2009 to November 2018 at our hospital. We assessed 17 cases each of degenerative cervical disease and trauma in a study population of 18 males and 16 females. The mean age was 54.8 years. A total of 139 screws were used and the surgical procedures included 68 screws in the C1 lateral mass, 58 screws in C2 pedicle, nine screws in C2 lamina and C2 pars screws, four lateral mass screws in sub-axial level. Of the 34 patients, 19 patients underwent screw insertion using intraoperative mobile CT. Other patients underwent atlantoaxial fusion with a standard fluoroscopy-guided device. Results : A total of 139 screws were correctly positioned. We analyzed the positions of 135 screws except for the four screws that performed the lateral mass screws in C3 vertebra. Minor screw penetration was observed in seven cases (5.2%), and major pedicle screw penetration was observed in three cases (2.2%). In one case, the malposition of a C2 pedicle screw was confirmed, which was subsequently corrected. There were no complications regarding vertebral artery injury or onset of new neurologic deficits. The screw malposition rate was lower (5.3%) in patients who underwent intraoperative CT-based navigation than that for fluoroscopy-guided cases (10.2%). And we confirmed that the operation time can be significantly reduced by surgery using intraoperative O-arm device. Conclusion : Spinal navigation using intraoperative cone-beam CT scans is reliable for posterior fixation in unstable C1-2 pathologies and can be reduced the operative time.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory bone disease characterized by pain and swelling without any detectable infectious factors, the main feature is mild to moderate bone pain. CRMO commonly develops in the metaphyses of long bones and clavicles in children or adolescents. Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is the isolated form of CRMO and the etiology of CNO is still unclear. This report describes a rare case of CNO of the mandible in an 8-year-old female patient. On the basis of clinical, histological, and radiological findings, CNO was diagnosed. The patient was asymptomatic after surgical curettage followed by antibiotic therapy. Cone beam CT scan revealed a nearly completed bone healing after three months.

Background The bone graft for the alveolar cleft has been accepted as one of the essential treatments for cleft lip patients. Precise preoperative measurement of the architecture and size of the bone defect in alveolar cleft has been considered helpful for increasing the success rate of bone grafting because those features may vary with the cleft type. Recently, some studies have reported on the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) assessment of alveolar bone defect; however, no study on the possible implication of the cleft type on the difference between the presumed and actual value has been conducted yet. We aimed to evaluate the clinical predictability of such measurement using 3D CT assessment according to the cleft type. Methods The study consisted of 47 pediatric patients. The subjects were divided according to the cleft type. CT was performed before the graft operation and assessed using image analysis software. The statistical significance of the difference between the preoperative estimation and intraoperative measurement was analyzed. Results The difference between the preoperative and intraoperative values were $-0.1{\pm}0.3cm^3$ (P=0.084). There was no significant intergroup difference, but the groups with a cleft palate showed a significant difference of $-0.2{\pm}0.3cm^3$ (P<0.05). Conclusions Assessment of the alveolar cleft volume using 3D CT scan data and image analysis software can help in selecting the optimal graft procedure and extracting the correct volume of cancellous bone for grafting. Considering the cleft type, it would be helpful to extract an additional volume of $0.2cm^3$ in the presence of a cleft palate.

Purpose: To investigate the healing pattern of the mucous membrane after tooth extraction necessitated by periodontal disease in the maxillary sinus. Methods: One hundred and three patients with 119 maxillary sinuses were investigated. Before implant placement, cone-beam computed tomography (CT) scanning was performed. The causes of extraction, the time elapsed since extraction, smoking, periodontal disease in adjacent teeth, and gender were recorded. In addition, the thickness of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus and the height of residual alveolar bone at the extracted area were calculated from CT images. Results: The thickness of the mucous membrane in the periodontal disease group ($3.05{\pm}2.71\;mm$) was greater than that of the pulp disease group ($1.92{\pm}1.78\;mm$) and the tooth fracture group ($1.35{\pm}0.55\;mm$; P<0.05). The causes of extraction, the time elapsed since extraction, and gender had relationships with a thickening of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus (P<0.05). In contrast, the height of the residual alveolar bone at the extracted area, periodontal disease in adjacent teeth, and smoking did not show any relation to the thickening of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus. Conclusions: The present study revealed distinct differences in healing patterns according to the causes of extraction in the maxillary sinus, especially periodontal disease, which resulted in more severe thickening of the mucous membrane.
