Purpose: In this study the bone healing ability of autogenous tooth bone graft material as a substitute material was evaluated in a mini-pig cranial defect model through histologic examinations and osteonectin reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) quantitative analysis. Materials and Methods: A defect was generated in the cranium of mini-pigs and those without a defect were used as controls. In the experimental group, teeth extracted from the mini-pig were manufactured into autogenous tooth bone graft material and grafted to the defect. The mini-pigs were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks to histologically evaluate bone healing ability and observe the osteonectin gene expression pattern with RT-PCR. Result: At 4 weeks, the inside of the bur hole showed fibrosis and there was no sign of bone formation in the control group. On the other hand, bone formation surrounding the tooth powder granule was observed at 4 weeks in the experimental group where the bur hole was filled with tooth powder. Osteonectin gene expression; there was nearly no osteonectin expression in the control group while active osteonectin expression was observed from 4 to 12 weeks in the experimental group. Conclusion: We believe this material will show better results when applied in a clinical setting.

An essential fact in the regeneration of new periodontal tissue after periodontal therapy is the reattachment of collagen fibers to the tooth. Two phenomena play a fundamental role in preventing new connective tissue attachment to the exposed root surface ; 1) The apical migration of the junctional epithelium 2) The contamination of cementum by toxic substances, especially endotoxins. Authors have used rat submucosal implantation of root sections to study the connective tissue healing to periodontally diseaed root, previously planed and demineralized with citric acid and tetracycline- HCl. The results were obtained as follows. 1. The connective tissue attachment was increased in tetracycline, citric acid, non disease, scaling and root planing order and inflammatory reaction was seen in the rat teeth, no treatment group. 2. Collagen fiber attachment at the dentin surface was more increased than cementum surface 3. In 2 week of citric acid and tetracycline-HCl specimens, osteoid was seen near the fibrotic band. 4. In the MT view, collagen fiber formation was increased with time and the numerous collagen fiber and connective tissue was more densly attached to the tooth surfaces in the tetracycline-HCl group than the citric acid group.

이 연구는 Casein phosphopeptides-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)paste에 의해 제공되는 Calcium(Ca)과 Phosphorous(P) 이온이 탈회된 법랑질 표면에 적용된 시간에 따라 침투되는 깊이와 Ca/P의 상대적 정량값을 평가하고자 하였다. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM)와 Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer(EDS)를 이용하여 Ca/P 이온의 정량적 측정으로 탈회된 법랑질 내로의 침투깊이를 계측하였다. 교정치료를 위해 발거된 제 1소구치 치관 협측면의 중앙 1/3부위에 $4{\times}9mm$의 법랑질 window를 제외한 나머지 치관부위는 nail varnish로 도포하여 window 부위의 법랑질만 노출시킨 후, 모든 치아를 0.1M lactic acid로 7일 동안 탈회시켰다. 탈회된 각 치아의 정중앙을 장축에 따라 절단한 후 그 중 4개의 소구치 절편은 10배 희석된 CPP-ACP paste 용액에 각각 1, 2, 3 및 5주 동안 침지시켰고, 나머지 4개의 소구치 절편은 증류수에 동일 기간 침지시켰다. 각 절편을 window에 대해 수직으로 절단하여 건전 법랑질, 탈회된 법랑질 및 재광화된 법랑질의 깊이에 따른 Ca/P의 Spectrum Density Index(SDI)를 FE-SEM과 EDS로 계측하였다. 각 계측치를 Student's t test로 비교 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Ca/P 이온이 법랑질 표면으로부터 약 $1050{\sim}1400{\mu}m$까지 침투하여 탈회 법랑질의 깊이인 $1050{\sim}1350{\mu}m$까지 재 광화되었다. 2. 1주군과 2주군의 재광화된 법랑질의 Ca/P SDI는 건전 법랑질보다 유의성 있게 높았으나(p<0.05), 3주군에서는 건전 법랑질보다 유의하게 낮았고(p<0.05), 5주군은 건전 법랑질과 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 모든 재광화된 법랑질 간에 Ca/P의 SDI는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05).

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess changes in remineralization by stimulated human saliva over a short period of 48 hours with quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) technology. Materials and Methods: Bovine incisor surfaces were demineralized for 10 days. Two types of stimulated saliva were collected from 7 healthy persons. 24 hours after tooth brushing (Stimulated saliva group) and immediately after tooth brushing with 1,000 ppm NaF dentifrice (Dentifrice saliva group). The specimens were immersed in saliva and fluorescence images were obtained by QLF-digital (QLF-D $biluminator^{TM}$,) at 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours fluorescence loss (${\Delta}F%$) of the lesions. A paired t-test was performed to assess fluorescence differences between before (${\Delta}F_{baseline}$) and after (${\Delta}F_{treatment\;time}$) the remineralization process. Results: Before the remineralization, the mean ${\Delta}F_{baseline}$ of the initial demineralized specimens was $-18.42{\pm}0.15$ (%). In both groups, the ${\Delta}F$ values obtained at baseline and after 2 hours were statistically significant (P < 0.001), indicating recovery of the lesions by approximately 40% after 2 hours. After 48 hours, remineralization rates were slightly higher (49%) for the stimulated saliva group than for the dentifrice saliva group (41%), but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: With QLF minute degrees of remineralization by saliva can be measured in periods as short as 2 hours. Additionally no significantly higher effects of remineralization were observed in the dentifrice saliva group when compared to the stimulated saliva group.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the osteogenic effects of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in rabbit calvarial defects with DDM and anorganic bovine bone (ABB) combined with rhBMP-2. Materials and Methods: Four round defects with 8-mm diameters were created in each rabbit calvaria. Each defect was treated with one of the following: 1) DDM, 2) ABB/rhBMP-2, or 3) DDM/rhBMP-2. The rhBMP-2 was combined with DDM and ABB according to a stepwise dry and dip lyophilizing protocol. Histological and microcomputed tomography (${\mu}CT$) analyses were performed to measure the amount of bone formation and bone volume after 2- and 8-week healing intervals. Results: Upon histological observation at two weeks, the DDM and ABB/rhBMP-2 groups showed osteoconductive bone formation, while the DDM/rhBMP-2 group showed osteoconductive and osteoinductive bone formation. New bone formation was higher in DDM/rhBMP-2, DDM and ABB decreasing order. The amounts of bone formation were very similar at two weeks; however, at eight weeks, the DDM/rhBMP-2 group showed a twofold greater amount of bone formation compared to the DDM and ABB/rhBMP-2 groups. The ${\mu}CT$ analysis showed markedly increased bone volume in the DDM/rhBMP-2 group at eight weeks compared with that of the DDM group. Notably, there was a slight decrease in bone volume in the ABB/rhBMP-2 group at eight weeks. There were no significant differences among the DDM, ABB/rhBMP-2, and DDM/rhBMP-2 groups at two or eight weeks. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, DDM appears to be a suitable carrier for rhBMP-2 in orthotopic sites.

외상으로 인하여 치아가 받는 여러 가지 손상형태 중 치관-치근파절이 나타나는 빈도는 영구치에서 5%, 유치열에서는 2%라고 알려져 왔다. 치조정 하방에 파절선이 존재하고 치수노출을 동반한 치관-치근 파절에서는 크게 두가지의 보존적인 치료방법이 있다. 첫째, 교정력에 의해 정출시키는 방법과 둘째 치조와내에서 교합면 방향으로 재위치시키는 Intra-alveolar transplantation 등이 있다. 외과적 정출법은 1970년대에 소개된 이래로 교정적 정출법의 대안으로 많이 시행되고 있으며 높은 성공률을 가진 술식으로 여겨지고 있다. 본 증례는 외상으로 인해 상악 우측 중철치의 치수노출을 동반한 치관-치근 파절이 발생한 경우로 외과적 정출을 시행하기로 하였으나, 치근단 파절편의 길이가 짧아서 치아를 발거 후 회전시켜 재식하는 방법만으로는 파절선을 치조정 상방으로 위치시킬 수가 없었다. 따라서 치아를 발거한 후 파절편의 지지를 위해 치조와의 치근단부에 탈회냉동건조골을 이식한 후에 치근단 파절편을 노출한 후 suture splint를 시행하였다. 1년 3개월간의 관찰결과, 치조백선이 회복되고 정상적인 동요도를 보였으며, 염증성, 대체성 치근흡수 등과 같은 합병증은 발생되지 않았다.

치아의 맹출 과정과 치간이개로 유도된 치아 및 치조골의 흡수 과정에서 치주인대 세포와 치주인대 단백질의 기능을 알아보기 위하여, 발육 중인 흰쥐를 치근 형성 전, 치근 형성 시작과 치근 형성 및 맹출 시기로 구분하여 조직 표본을 제작하고, 또한 성 장 중인 흰쥐를 2주간 치간 이개시켜 조직표본을 제작하였다. 치주인대 섬유모세포에서 특이적으로 발현되며 치주인대의 분화와 성숙에 관여하는 PDLs22단백질과 치아와 치조골의 파괴와 흡수를 조절하는 것으로 알려진 RANKL과 OPG의 발현을 면역 조직화학적으로 연구하였다. PDLs22 단백질은 치근 형성이 시작되면서부터 치낭세포와 골모세포에서 발현되어, 치아가 맹출하는 과정에서도 그 발현이 계속 유지되었으나, 치간이개에 의하여 치주인대가 개조되는 부위에서는 발현이 감소하였다. RANKL은 치근형성 과정에서는 미약한 발현을 나타내었으나, 치아가 맹출하면서 발현이 증대되었으며, 치간이개에 의한 치근과 치조골 흡수과정에서는 치주인대세포, 골모세포, 치수세포 및 파치세포에서 발현이 증대되었다. OPG는 치근이 형성되는 시기에는 강한 발현을 보였으나, 치아가 맹출하면서 발현이 현저히 감소하였고, 치아와 치조골의 흡수가 진행됨에 따라서 발현이 다소 감소하였다.

In one group that tested for the effects of grinding and etching on the deciduous teeth, S.E.M. examination on the ground or unground labial surface of deciduous maxillary central incisors were made after etching procedure with 40% phosphoric acid for 60 secs., 120 secs., 180 sees. each. In another group that tested for the degree of resin penetration to the ground and etched deciduous teeth, composite resin application was done to the ground deciduous maxillary central incisors that had been acid-etched for 30 secs., 60 secs., 90 sees., 120 sees., 180 secs. each. The tooth-resin specimens were cut at the middle 1/3 of the crown by 2mm thickness, and the adjacent tooth materials were demineralized by 10% hydrochloric acid, the author observed the tags of the resin replica with S.E.M.. Following results were obtained. 1. After 40% phosphoric acid etching, the unground deciduous enamel surface showed various types of etching pattern. 2. For the formation of regular micropores on deciduous enamel surface by acid etching with 40% phosphoric acid, the time over 120 secs. should be requested. 3. After 40% phosphoric acid etching, the ground deciduous enamel surface showed the same etching pattern that has been a preferential removal of prism peripheries despite different etching time. 4. On the ground group that etched over 60 secs. to 180 secs., the length of tags was $5{\mu}m$ to $8{\mu}m$, with a mean of $7{\mu}m$.
