The autogenous tooth transplantation is an alternative treatment replacing a missing tooth when a suitable donor tooth is available. It is also a successful treatment option to save significant amount of time and cost comparing implants or conventional prosthetics. These cases, which required single tooth extraction due to deep caries and severe periodontal disease, could have good results by transplanting non-functional but sound donor tooth to the extraction site.

A cervical radiculopathy is the most common symptom of cervical degenerative disease and its natural course is generally favorable. With a precise diagnosis using appropriate tools, the majority of patients will respond well to conservative treatment. Cervical radiculopathy with persistent radicular pain after conservative treatment and progressive or profound motor weakness may require surgery. Options for surgical management are extensive. Each technique has strengths and weaknesses, so the choice will depend on the patient's clinical profile and the surgeon's judgment.

Chronic temporomandibular joint dislocation is defined as an acute dislocation that cannot be reduced or that recurs for more than one month. The management of dislocation depends on patient status and the duration of dislocation and ranges from conservative reduction to a surgical approach. In the present cases, a 64-year-old male was referred to our department for treatment of chronic dislocation for 6 weeks. The dislocation might be occurred by endotracheal intubation. A 70-year-old female was referred to our department with repeat right condyle dislocation after reduction of dislocation at a local clinic. When she visited for later treatment of new dentures, her condyle had been dislocated again for several weeks. In both cases, we tried to treat the dislocation with several manipulations, which were unsuccessful. Finally, chronic dislocation was successfully treated by surgical traction under general anesthesia without relapse. Surgical traction is a simple, effective option with the lowest morbidity of surgical procedures for chronic dislocation when conservative reduction is unsuccessful.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of symptomatic postdiscectomy pseudocyst (PP) after endoscopic discectomy and to compare the results of surgical and conservative management of them. Methods: Initial study participants were 1,503 cases (1,406 patients) receiving endoscopic lumbar discectomy by 23-member board of neurosurgeons from March 2003 to October 2008. All patients' postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were evaluated. On the postoperative MRI, cystic lesion of T2W high and T1W low at discectomy site was regarded as PP. Reviews of medical records and radiological findings were done. The PP patients were divided into two groups, surgical and conservative management by treatment modality after PP detection. We compared the results of the two groups using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for low back pain (LBP), VAS for leg pain (LP) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results: Among 1,503 cases of all male soldiers, the MRls showed that pseudocysts formed in 15 patients, about 1.0% of the initial cases. The mean postoperative interval from surgery to PP detection was 53.7 days. Interlaminar approach was correlated with PP formation compared with transforaminal approach. (p=0.001).The mean VAS for LBP and LP in the surgical group improved from 6.5 and 4.8 to 2.0 and 2.3, respectively. The mean VAS for LBP and LP in the conservative group improved from 4.4 and 4.4 to 3.9 and 2.3, respectively. There was no difference in treatment outcome between surgical and conservative management of symptomatic PP. Conclusion: Although this study was done in limited environment, symptomatic PP was detected at two months' postoperative period in about 1% of cases. Interlaminar approach seems to be more related with PP compared with transforaminal approach.

족관절 내 히알루론산 주사 후 효과에 대한 참고 자료를 살펴 본 결과 대부분의 연구들이 족관절 내 히알루론산 주사에 대한 효과와 안전에 대해 긍정적으로 보고하고 있지만, 아직까지는 결론을 짓기는 어렵다고 하겠다. 추후 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 무작위 이중맹검 위약대조군 연구(randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials)를 통해 그 결과를 평가해야 할 것으로 사료되며, 또한 장기 추시를 통해 효과 발현 시기 및 지속 기간을 평가해야 할 것이다.

Some treatment methods have been proposed for patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint. We report a conservative treatment for patients who had chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint and who did not want surgical treatment. Two patients who had been treated in the Template clinic, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, are the subjects of this report. The subjects had chronic closed lock symptom for over 3 months after an onset of locking; conventional therapies had no effect. The subjects were treated by making them wear a Template appliance while sleeping and exercise for 10 hours a day. After periodic follow-up, significant improvement was observed for Template treatment in terms of the maximal mouth opening range. When conventional therapy is expected to be ineffective, The Template appliance can be used as conservative treatment for temporomandibular disorders patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical treatment with conservative treatment and to evaluate the effectiveness of drug-holiday in bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) patients who were diagnosed as stage 2. Patients and Method: From January 2012 to October 2014, seventy-two patients who visit to Pusan National University of Dental Hospital were diagnosed as stage 2 of BRONJ. All the patients had taken computed tomography(CT) and panoramic radiography. The surgical treatment including sequestrectomy of necrotic bone and curettage of soft tissue around the sequestrum were performed to fifty patients. Twenty-two patients underwent conservative treatment such as antibiotics medications, mouth rinsing and follow up checking for every two weeks. Prognosis of treatment was classified into 3 groups - response, unresponse, and worsens - according to clinical, radiographic symptoms. P-value less than 0.05 were regarded as significant. Results: In surgery group, forty-five patients (90%) were healed without recurrence or any complication and five patients (10%) showed the wound dehiscence or infection. In conservative treatment group, fifteen patients (68.2%) were healed without any complication, four patients (18.2%) did not show improvement and three(4.2%) patients$^{\circ}{\emptyset}$ symptoms increased. P-value among groups was 0.014. Evaluation of preoperative drug-holiday in surgery group did not show the effectiveness(p=0.478). Conclusion: Statistically, the prognosis of patients with stage 2 BRONJ treated with surgery was significantly better than conservative treatment. There was no statistical difference for the preoperative drug-holiday.
