Introduction: Very high aggressiveness and recurrence are important clinical characteristics of ameloblastoma compared to the other benign tumors. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is important. This study examined the association of the clinical findings and recurrence based on the radiological findings of ameloblastoma. In recurrent cases, these results are expected to help in the diagnosis and treatment of ameloblastoma to examine the relevance with the clinical characteristics and radiological features. Materials and Methods: For a clinical (gender, age) and radiological (location, internal pattern, size, perforation, border pattern, impacted tooth, root resorption) evaluation, this study examined 156 cases of 147 patients diagnosed with ameloblastoma, who had been treated and in most cases regularly checked at the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital, between January 1993 and December 2009. For a recurrent rate evaluation, a more than 3 years follow-up period is needed. Accordingly, 116 patients diagnosed with ameloblastoma between January 1994 and December 2007 were investigated. Results: The recurrence rate in all cases was 6.1% but was 7.8% in cases with follow-up periods more than 3 years. The male-to-female ratio was 3:2, showing a slight male predilection. Ameloblastoma had a peak occurrence in the second decade of life followed by the fourth decade of life. The mandibular angle area is the most frequent site of ameloblastoma (50.8%) in the jaws. Six cases of unilocular (7.8%) and 3 cases of multilocular (7.7%) ameloblastomas recurred. Seven cases of smooth (10%) and 2 cases of irregular (4.3%) ameloblastomas recurred. No cases of ameloblastomas without perforation of the cortical bone (0%) and 9 cases with a perforation of cortical bone (11.1%) recurred. Four cases of the ameloblastomas with impacted teeth (11.4%) and 5 cases of ameloblastomas without impacted tooth (6.2%) recurred. Seven cases of ameloblastomas with root resorption (10.9%) and 2 cases of ameloblastomas without root resorption (3.8%) recurred. Conclusion: A multiple smooth margin, unilocular ameloblastoma with an impacted tooth, root resorption tends to recur more easily. Therefore, they need to be treated more carefully and require a a longer follow-up.

The effect of irradiation of x-ray to developing rat mandible in the gestation stage was focused on the study of mandible development and the side effect of x-ray irradiation. The author studied the effect of x-ray irradiation with the gestated rat and their off'springs. 100 rads, 200 rads, 300 rads and 400 rads of x-ray was irradiated in regular order schematically at the lower left abdomen of gestated rat. 18½days after conception, their off'springs were sacrificed and exaimined their developing mandible with histological findings. The results were as followed. 1. In the 100-200 rads irradiated rat off'springs, bony trabeclulation was revealed irregular shape. In combine with this finding, osteoblast and fibroblast were appeared shrunken of their nucleus and location of eccentric position. 2. In the 300-400 rads irradiated rat off'springs, decrease of fibroblast and osteoblast appearance in the periosteum were prominently observed and empty lacunae were frequently appeared in their bone matrix. 3. The advent of osteoclast and resorption of cortical bone were appeared in proportion to increasing of x-ray irradiation.

The most critical factor in determining which type of implant to be used would be the available bone of the patient. Usually a minimum of 5mm in the bone width and 8mm in the bone height is necessary to ensure primary implant stability and maintain the integrity of bone contact surface. Placement of implant is limited by the several anatomic strutures such as maxillary sinus, floor of the nose, inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle and nasopalatine foramen, etc. When severe resorption of alveolar ridge is encountered, implant placement would be a problematic procedure. A number of techniques to improve the poor anatomic situations have been proposed. This article reports 4 cases of patients using surgical procedures such as blade implant technique, cortical split technique in the anterior maxillary area, sinus lifting and lateral repositioning of inferior alveolar nerve, We treated dental implant candidates with unfavorable alveolar ridge utilizing various surgical techniques, resulted in successful rehabilitation of edentulous ridge.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to verify the appropriateness of ovariectomized rats as the osteoporosis animal model. Methods : Twelve female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a sham operation (the sham group) or bilateral ovariectomy [the ovariectomy (OVX) group]. Eight weeks after operations, serum biochemical markers of bone turnover were analyzed; osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase, which are sensitive biochemical markers of bone formation, and C-terminal telopeptide fragment of type I collagen C-terminus (CTX), which is a sensitive biochemical marker of bone resorption. Bone histomorphometric parameters and microarchitectural properties of 4th lumbar vertebrae were determined by micro-computed tomographic (CT) scan. Results : The OVX group showed on average 75.4% higher osteocalcin and 72.5% higher CTX levels than the sham group, indicating increased bone turnover. Micro-CT analysis showed significantly lower bone mineral density (BMD) (p=0.005) and cortical BMD (p=0.021) in the OVX group. Furthermore, the OVX group was found to have a significantly lower trabecular bone volume fraction (p=0.002). Conclusion : Our results showed that bone turnover was significantly increased and bone mass was significantly decreased 8 weeks after ovariectomy in rats. Thus, we propose that the ovariectomized rat model be considered a reproducible and reliable model of osteoporosis.

Tibial bone grafts provide an adequate volume of cancellous bone with cortical bone, high biologic value of bone, minimal gait disturbance and complications, and no special contraindications, and offer a superior clinical results than any other donor sites. Lateral appoach in tibial bone graft was used to gain large bone volume traditionally, but medial approach provides low morbidity associated with the tibial anatomic structure, simple and safety surgical procedure, and better comfortable to patients recently. We have undertaken clinical and retrospective studies on patients in Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Inha University Hospital from April 2004 to January 2008. 50 patients have maxillofacial bony defect as resection of bening tumor, cyst enucleation, alveolar bone resorption, sinus pneumatization were received the tibial proximal autogenous particulated cancellous bone grafts. They were analyzed sex, age, diagnosis of recipient site, lesion size, dornor site, cortical bone repositioning, complications and we concluded favorable following results. 1. Medial approach for proximal tibia is safer and technically easier than lateral approach, associated with the proximal tibial anatomic structures, and short operative times. 2. Proximal tibia provides an adequate bone volume with predictability for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. 3. Patients rarely complain of pain, swelling, discomfort and dysfunction such as gait disturbance. In conclusion, medial approach for proximal tibial graft seems to be a valuable tool for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the volumetric change of augmented autobone harvested from mandibular body cortical bone, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and three-dimensional reconstruction. In addition, the clinical success of dental implants placed 4 to 6 months after bone grafting was also evaluated. Materials and Methods: Ninety-five patients (48 men and 47 women) aged 19 to 72 years were included in this study. A total of 128 graft sites were evaluated. The graft sites were divided into three parts: anterior and both posterior regions of one jaw. All patients included in the study were scheduled for an onlay graft and implantation using a two-stage procedure. The dental implants were inserted 4 to 6 months after the bone graft. Volumetric stability was evaluated by serial CBCT images. Results: No major complications were observed for the donor sites. A total of 128 block bones were used to augment severely resorbed alveolar bone. Only 1 of the 128 bone grafts was resorbed by more than half, and that was due to infection. In total, the average amount of residual grafted bone after resorption at the recipient sites was $74.6%{\pm}8.4%$. Conclusion: Volumetric stability of mandibular body autogenous block grafts is predictable. The procedure is satisfactory for patients who want dental implants regardless of atrophic alveolar bone.

The author observed and compared the radiographic features of 49 cases of the fibrous dysplasia and 14 cases of the ossifying fibroma in the osteoblastic or mature stage radiologically and histopathologically. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Fibrous dysplasia occurred most frequently in the 2nd decade, but ossifying fibroma in the 3rd and 4th decades, and both lesions occurred with slight predilection in females. 2. In most cases, chief complaints were painless facial swelling. And 61.1％ of fibrous dysplasia occurred in the maxilla, 92.9％ of ossifying fibroma in the mandible, and most of these lesions occurred in the premolar-molar region. 3. In the mandibular lesions, ossifying fibroma was shown more oval and round shape. but fibrous dysplasia was shown fusiform shape. 4. Fibrous dysplasia was shown homogeneously distributed. complete radiopaque shadow at 63％, and ossifying fibroma was shown concentric. mixed appearance of radiolucent and radiopaque shadow at 92.9％. 5. Fibrous dysplasia was entirely shown poorly outlined and blended to normal surrounding bone, but ossifying fibroma was shown well-defined border. 6. Cortical thinning and expansion were observed in these lesions. but degree of cortical expansion was more severe in ossifying fibroma than fibrous dysplasia. 7. Loss of lamina dura. tooth displacement. and displacement of mandibular canal were observed in both lesions. but root resorption was observed in ossifying fibroma only.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 임플란트 주변 골흡수 양상의 차이가 임플란트와 주변골의 응력 분산에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수평 골흡수와 임플란트 주변 수직 골흡수에 있어서 주변골의 응력분산, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력분산의 변화 관계 및 병적인 골흡수시의 주변골 응력분포를 유한요소 분석법을 사용하여 비교하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법:우측 제1 소구치 전방에서 제2 대구치 후방까지의 하악골 모형에서 자연치를 제거하고 직경 4.0 mm, 길이 10.0 mm의 나사형 임플란트를 제1 대구치 부위에 식립하였다. 수평 수직 골흡수의 차이를 보기 위하여 골흡수가 나타나지 않은 형태를 대조군 (I)으로 하여, 1.5 mm 수평 골흡수 (H1.5), 3.0 mm 수평 골흡수 (H3.0) 모형과 이에 상응하는 수직 골흡수 모형 (VW1.5; 1.5 mm, VW3.0; 3.0 mm)을 설계하였고, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력 변화를 관찰하기 위해 생물학적 폭경이 형성되는 과정을 가정한 모형(B0; 피질골에서 임플란트와의 골유착이 없이 밀접하게 접촉된 상태, B1; 피질골에 0.5 mm 폭의 수직 골흡수가 발생한 상태)과 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태 (B2)의 모형을 설계하였으며, 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태는 0.5 mm 폭을 가지며 임플란트 장축에 경사진 형태를 가지고 있는 1.5 mm 깊이의 수직 골흡수 상태로 형성하였다. 병적 골흡수 상태는 수직 골흡수를 가정한 기존 모형 (VW1.5, VW3.0)과 골흡수가 더 진행된 VW4.5, 기저부에 피질골화가 이루어지지 못한 VO3.0, VO4.5, VO6.0모형을 추가하였다. 하중조건은 수직, 수평하중 그리고 협측 $45^{\circ}$경사하중을 각각 100 N씩 임플란트 보철물 부위에 가하였다. 결과: 분석결과 수평 골흡수와 수직 골흡수에 있어서 전반적인 응력의 크기와 임플란트에 가해지는 응력의 크기는 서로 대응하는 모형에서 유사하였으며, 수직 골흡수에 서 수직력을 받을 때 C2에서 C4로 1.5 mm의 골흡수가 증가하였으나 골에서 발생한 최대응력은 오히려 감소하였다. 수직 골흡수에서 응력이 결손부의 수직 벽을 통해 상부로 분산되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 생물학적 폭경 형성 단계에서 응력이 가해지는 경우 피질골에서의 결합이 없는 A2에서 피질골 전반에 높은 응력이 발생하였으며 생물학적 폭경의 완성을 가정한 B1에서는 임플란트와 피질골의 경계에서 발생한 응력이 경사진 피질골을 따라서 퍼져나가고 있음을 보였다. 병적 골흡수에서 골결손부 하방에 피질골이 없는 경우는 골흡수에 비례하여 응력이 증가 하였으나 피질골이 있는 경우에는 응력의 증가가 골흡수량의 증가와 비례하지 않음을 보였다. 결론: 임플란트 주변 골흡수의 양이 같아도 흡수된 형태에 따라 발생하는 응력의 크기와 응력분산이 다르게 나타났으며 초기 골흡수 현상은 피질골과의 결합이 약할 때 이 부위에 응력이 증가되어 나타나며, 이후 응력이 감소되어 평형을 이루는 것으로 보인다. 수직 골흡수가 증가할 경우 피질골의 존재 유무가 응력 분산에 큰 영향을 미치며 피질골이 있는 경우 일정 범위에서 응력의 감소가 나타나 응력분산에 유리한 형태에서 골흡수의 진행을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Background The radial forearm osteocutaneous free flap is considered to be the standard technique for penile construction. One year after their operation, most patients experience a softened phallus, so that they suffer from difficulties in sexual intercourse. In this report, we present our experience with phalloplasty by radial forearm osteocutaneous free flap, as well as an evaluation of the etiology and treatment of the softened phallus. Methods Between March 2005 and February 2010, 58 patients underwent phalloplasty by radial forearm osteocutaneous free flap. Most of their neophallus had been softened subjectively and among them, 12 patients who wanted correction were investigated. We performed repetitive fat injection, artificial dermis grafting, silicone rod insertion, and rib bone with cartilaginous tip graft. Physical examination, plain radiograph, computed tomography, bone scintigraphy, and satisfaction scores were investigated. Results Most of the participants' penises have been softened after phalloplasty, and the skin elasticity had been also decreased. On plain radiograph, the distal end of the bone was self-rounded; however, the bone shape of the neophallus had no significant interval changes or resorption. Computed tomography showed equivocal density of cortical bone. On bone scintigraphy, the bone metabolism was active at 3 months postoperatively, and remained active 9 years postoperatively. Conclusions The use of a rib bone with cartilaginous tip graft could be an option for improvement of the softened phallus. Silicon rod insertion is also worth considering for rigidity of the softened phallus. Decreased rigidity due to soft tissue atrophy could be alleviated with repeated fat injection and artificial dermis grafting.
