구순구개열은 얼굴에 발생하는 다양한 종류의 기형 중 빈번히 발생하는 기형으로, 발생 빈도는 일반적으로 1000명당 0.28~3.74명으로 알려져 있으나 파열의 종류, 인종 및 성별에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 구순구개열의 치료는 수술영역에서 많은 발전이 있었지만 수술만으로는 문제점을 해결하기는 어렵다. 파열부 간격을 줄이고 구순열 수술을 용이하게 하기 위한 술전 신생아 정형술의 개념이 1950년 McNeil에 의해 개발되었으며, 최근에는 술전 비치조 정형장치(presurgical nasoalveolar molding appliance, PNAM)를 사용하여 치조골뿐만 아니라 코의 모양을 정상화하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 세 명의 환자가 편측성 구순구개열로 진단받은 후 술전비치조정형장치 장착을 위해 의뢰되었다. 레진과 교정용와이어를 이용하여 제작한 K-NAM 장치물을 입술 성형 수술을 시행하기 전까지 장착하였다. 첫 내원시와 nasal molding을 시행하여 입술 성형 수술을 하기 직전, 입술 성형 수술 이후 콧구멍의 높이, 너비, 비주의 각도를 측정하여 비교한 결과 세 증례에서 모두 코의 대칭성이 증가하며 술 후 심미개선에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. K-NAM 장치물은 장치의 장착, 유지, 조절이 용이하고 장착한 상태에서 수유가 가능하기 때문에 장착시간을 증가시킬 수 있다. 따라서 nasal molding이 가능한 한정된 기간 안에 최대의 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 그리고 젖병을 빠는 행위가 가능해짐으로써 동시에 구강조직의 발달에도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

To prove the effct of semi-rigid fixation which utilize wire and rigid fixation which utilizes miniplate toward cranio-facial growth and development of growing children for teenagers, 28 rabbits-6 weeks, about 1.5kg-were experimented. They were classified three groups the semi-rigid group was 12 rabbits which were fixed with 26 gauge stainless steel wire to cross a fronto-nasal suture, the rigid group was the other 12 rabbits which were fixed with miniplate and screw, the control group was 4 rabbits which were get rid of only periosteum. The sample of fronto-nasal of rabbits which were sacrified after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of the operation were investigated and made a comparative study with the light microscops. 1. At the control group, the central part of bony suture was connected with colagen bundle, the osteoblastic layer was investigated at the bony ending, new bone which covered the inside and outside faces of the bone suture was formed between periosteum. 2. Two weeks later from the experiment, ran slightly irregularly the collagen bundle which connects both bony endings of the rigid group. 3. Four weeks later from the experiment, collagen bundle of bone surface were arranged parally a little and comparing to the semi-rigid group, newly formed woven bone of surface of the adjacent bone was made obviously a little. 4. Eight weeks later from the experiment, collagen bundle which is located between both bony ending become close. Both the semi-rigid group and the rigid group showed significant formation of new bone at the periosteum and the bone surface. 12 weeks later from the experiment, both the semi-rigid group and the rigid group showed the regular running in the collagen bundle and smooth, dense periosteum. Then they assumed a similar aspect of the control group. I think that it does not give the influence to the cranio-facial growth of children or teenager to utilize a rigid fixation for a short period. Because as the time goes on, the surface of the bone suture was recovered and adjacent bone surface of the miniplate fixation showed compensatory growth, although both the semi-rigid group which utilized wire and rigid group which utilized a miniplate brought about the change of the area of the bone suture at the early period.

Purpose: Rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla with dental implants often poses difficulty because of insufficient bone volume caused by pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and by crestal bone resorption. Sinus grafting technique was developed to increase the vertical height to overcome this problem. The present study was designed to evaluate the sinus floor augmentation with anorganic bovine bone (Bio-$cera^{TM}$) using histomorphometric and clinical measures. Patients and methods: Thirteen patients were involved in this study and underwent total 14 sinus lift procedures. Residual bone height was ${\geq}2mm$ and ${\leq}6mm$. Lateral window approach was used, with grafting using Bio-$cera^{TM}$ only(n=1) or mixed with autogenous bone from ramus and/or maxillary tuberosity(n=13). After 6 months of healing, implant sites were created with 3mm diameter trephine and biopsies taken for histomorphometric analysis. The parameters assessed were area fraction of new bone, graft material and connective tissue. Immediate and 6 months after grafting surgery, and 6 months after implantation, computed tomography (CT) was taken and the sinus graft was evaluated morphometric analysis. After implant installation at the grafted area, the clinical outcome was checked. Results: Histomorphometry was done in ten patients.Bio-$cera^{TM}$ particles were surrounded by newly formed bone. The graft particles and newly formed bone were surrounded by connective tissue including small capillaries in some fields. Imaging processing revealed $24.86{\pm}7.59%$ of new bone, $38.20{\pm}13.19%$ connective tissue, and $36.92{\pm}14.51%$ of remaining Bio-$cera^{TM}$ particles. All grafted sites received an implant, and in all cases sufficient bone height was achieved to install implants. The increase in ridge height was about $15.9{\pm}1.8mm$ immediately after operation (from 13mm to 19mm). After 6 months operation, ridge height was reduced about $11.5{\pm}13.5%$. After implant installation, average marginal bone loss after 6 months was $0.3{\pm}0.15mm$. Conclusion: Bio-$cera^{TM}$ showed new bone formation similar with Bio-$Oss^{(R)}$ histomorphometrically and appeared to be an effective bone substitute in maxillary sinus augmentation procedure with the residual bone height from 2 to 6mm.

Background: We reviewed the biological and mechanical properties of porous hydroxyapatite (HA) compared to other synthetic materials. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) was also evaluated to estimate its efficacy with clinical and radiological assessments. Method: A systematic search of the electronic literature database of the National Library of Medicine (PubMed-MEDLINE) was performed for articles published in English between January 1985 and September 2013. The inclusion criteria were (1) histological evaluation of the biocompatibility and osteoconductivity of porous HA in vivo and in vitro, (2) evaluation of the mechanical properties of HA in relation to its porosity, (3) comparison of the biological and mechanical properties between several biomaterials, and (4) clinical and radiological evaluation of the precision of CAD/CAM techniques. Results: HA had excellent osteoconductivity and biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo compared to other biomaterials. HA grafts are suitable for milling and finishing, depending on the design. In computed tomography, porous HA is a more resorbable and more osteoconductive material than dense HA; however, its strength decreases exponentially with an increase in porosity. Conclusions: Mechanical tests showed that HA scaffolds with pore diameters ranging from 400 to $1200{\mu}m$ had compressive moduli and strength within the range of the human craniofacial trabecular bone. In conclusion, using CAD/CAM techniques for preparing HA scaffolds may increase graft stability and reduce surgical operating time.

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of hypodontia and hyperdontia of permanent teeth among Korean schoolchildren, and to compare differences in the prevalence between Korea, other country, and other ethnic groups. The sample consisted of 346 girls aged 6.9～0.3 yr and 375 boys aged 6.8～0.4 yr on whom a panoramic radiograph was taken at Yeonchun-Gun community in Korea. The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth (third molars excluded) was 6.7% in boys and somewhat higher, 9.5% in girls, and 8.0% for both sexes combined. On the average, number of missing teeth per affected child was 1.9 teeth. The most commonly congenitally missing teeth were the mandibular second premolar (32.7%), followed by the mandibular incisor (28.7%), the maxillary second premolar (16.7%), and the maxillary lateral incisors (10.2%). The prevalence of supernumerary teeth was 2.1 % in boys, 1.4% in girls, and 1.8% for both sexes combined. The most common supernumerary teeth were the mesiodens (76.9%), followed by the supernumerary premolar (23.1 %). The affected male-female ratio was 1.6: 1.0. The prevalence of congenital missing teeth in this study was similar to in studies of Japanese, Danish, American and German. The frequency of hyperdontia was lower in this study than in studies of Chinese children, Japanese and American.

KBG syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome presenting with macrodontia, distinctive facial features, skeletal anomalies, and neurological problems caused by mutations in the ankyrin repeat domain 11 (ANKRD11) gene. The diagnosis of KBG is difficult in very young infants as the characteristic macrodontia and typical facial features are not obvious. The youngest patient diagnosed to date was almost one year of age. We here describe a 2-month-old Korean boy with distinctive craniofacial features but without any evidence of macrodontia due to his very early age. He also had a congenital megacolon without ganglion cells in the rectum. A de novo deletion of exons 5-9 of the ANKRD11 gene was identified in this patient by exome sequencing and real-time genomic polymerase chain reaction. As ANKRD11 is involved in the development of myenteric plexus, a bowel movement disorder including a congenital megacolon is not surprising in a patient with KBG syndrome and has possibly been overlooked in past cases.

악안면 부조화를 치료하여 적절한 기능적, 심미적 형태를 얻고자 하는 악교정 수술에 있어서는 정확한 진단과 치료계획의 수립이 필수적이다. 특히 심한 상 하악의 복합적인 문제를 가지고 있는 경우에 시행되는 양악 수술에선 상악골과 하악골이 삼차원적인 공간에서 동시에 재배치되는데, 상악골의 재배치에 따라 하악골은 전후 좌우 위치가 결정되면서 새로운 교합평면이 만들어진다. 따라서 교합평면은 양악 수술에서 중요한 기준이 되어 상악골의 새로운 위치를 결정하게되므로 진단 및 치료계획 수립시에 최적의 기능적, 심미적 결과와 수술 후 안정성을 얻을 수 있게 계획되어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 양악 수술을 시행받은 골격성 제 III급 부정교합 환자 48명(남자25명 여자23명, 평균 연령 21.5세)을 대상으로 하여 교합평면의 설정에 사용되어지는 몇 가지 진단 기준중, 많이 사용되어지고 있는 Delaire의 구조적, 구성적 분석에 의한 각 개인의 이상적인 교합평면으로 수술되었을 때 경조직의 술후 안정성에 대해서 평가하고자 이상적인 교합평면에 부합되게 수술이 시행된 군(A군-24명)과 이 평면에서 벗어난 군(B군-24명)으로 나누어, 수술 직전($T_1$) 과 수술 직후($T_2$-평균 4.3일), 수술 8개월 이상 경과 후($T_3$-평균 1년 3개월)에 두군의 측모 두부 방사선 사진을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다. 1. A군과 B군 모두 수술에 의하여 ANS의 수직적 위치보다 PNS의 수직적 위치가 감소되었다. 즉 상하악 복합체가 후상방으로 회전되었다. 2. $T_3$에 $T_2$와 유의차를 보이는 값은 두군 모두에서 수직 계측항목에서 HRP-Me(p<0.01), 각도 계측항목에선 Articular angle(p<0.01), Gonial angle(p<0.01), Mn. plane angle(p<0.05)이 유의차를 보였다. 두 군 모두에서 HRP-Me이 감소하면서 하악평면각은 증가 하였다. 3. A군과 B군사이에서 술후 경조직의 안정성에는 유의성 있는 차이가 없었다. 4. 수술에 의한 B와 Pog.의 수평 이동량은 수술후 B와 Pog.의 수평 재발량과 그리고 PNS의 수직 재발량과 통계적으로 유의성 있는 높은 역상관관계를 보였고, 하악평면각의 수술에 의한 변화량과 gonial angle의 술후 변화량과도 통계적으로 유의성 있는 높은 역상관관계를 보였다.
