Radiation therapy for malignancy of head and neck leads to secondary effects, such as mucositis, xerostomia, dental caries and osteoradionecrosis. Osteoradionecrosis is a delayed complication which causes chronic pain, infection and constant deformity after necrosis. It occurs spontaneously or after primary oncologic surgery, dental extraction or by trauma of prosthesis. To reduce the incidence of osteoradionecrosis, appropriate antibiotic usage, atraumic procedure, tension-free primary suture and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are essential. This case is about a 74 years old woman who was treated for osteoradionecrosis after extraction of right lower molar at year 2006. She had received radiation therapy for angiosarcoma on tongue at year 2004. At year 2008 the patient came to our hospital for extraction of the opposite premolar but despite careful treatment, osteoradionecrosis occurred again. She was successfully treated by surgical procedure so we report this case.

본 증례에서는 MAS 환자의 치과적인 특성에 관하여 논하였다. 본 환아는 현재 특히 하악 우측골의 팽융과 안면 비대칭 소견을 보이고 있었으며 치아의 교모, 변위, 맹출 지연, 맹출 경로 이상 등의 특징을 보이고 있었다. MAS 환자들에게서는 이러한 증상뿐 아니라 앞서 언급되었던 치아 우식에 이환될 위험성을 높이는 다른 여러 증상들이 발현될 수 있다. 따라서 환아에게 해당 증상이 발생할 수 있음을 보호자에게 설명하였고, 주기적인 관찰을 시행하고 있다. 결론적으로 MAS 환자에서 가장 중요한 것은 정기적인 검진이며, 이러한 검진 과정에서 임상적인 증상들이 나타난다면 치과의사의 교정치료나 충치치료 등의 적절한 개입이 필요하고 환자에게도 교육의 중요성이 더욱 강조된다. 장기적인 검진은 본 환아의 병소에 대한 이해를 높일 것이고 치료 결과의 질을 높여줄 것이라고 판단된다. 소아의 파노라마 방사선 사진 판독 시 치아와 주변 골조직의 주의 깊은 관찰이 동반된다면 이러한 질환의 조기 진단에 도움이 될 것이다.

9세 레녹스-가스토 증후군을 앓고 있는 여아가 정기검진을 위해 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원하였으며 구강 내 임상 검사 시 유견치 및 제1유구치의 동요도가 관찰되었다. 본과 내원 두 달 전 폐렴으로 인한 입원 및 치아로 추정되는 물질의 흡인 병력이 있었으며 치과에 내원했을 당시 구강 내에서 상악 좌측 제1유구치가 관찰되지 않았다. 해당 치아가 흡인되어 폐렴을 유발했을 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단하고 동요도가 있는 나머지 유치의 발치를 시행하였다. 인후 반사가 제한되어 흡인 위험성이 높은 장애 환자들에서는 치과 치료 상황 외에도 구강 내 이물질의 흡인이 일어날 수 있으므로 동요도가 있는 유치나 잘 맞지 않는 보철물 등을 예방적으로 제거하는 것이 흡인의 위험성을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Herpes zoster is caused when the varicella zoster virus(VZV) that has remained latent since an earlier varicella infection is reactivated with cutaneous and mucous manifestations. They occur in 20% cases in the trigeminal area and typical manifestations are neuralgias simulating dental pain, also vesicles with an erythematous halo located in the territory of the second and third trigemial branch. They erupt on the skin, the lips, tongue, palate and cheeks. With an ever-increasing number of elderly and immunocompromised patients attending the dentist, the dental profession can expect to encounter an increased number of herpes zoster patients. Furthermore, the oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be familiar with the presenting signs and symptoms of patients experiencing the prodromal manifestations and oral complication of herpes zoster of the trigeminal nerve. As presentation of our patient with ulcer on hard palate caused by herpes zoster, current treatment of herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia are discussed.

Bony exostosis, one of the osseous deformities, could act as a contributing factor of periodontal disease since it makes proper tooth brushing difficult and causes traumatic ulcer. The purpose of this case report is to show improvement of periodontal health by removal of bony exostoses and creation of physiologic osseous form. A 58 year-old female patient with recurrent ulcer and pain on bony exostoses located on left maxillary palatal area and both mandibular buccal areas was treated. Exostoses were removed and physiologically positive osseous form was created following vertical grooving, radicular blending, flattening interproximal bone and gradualizing marginal bone. The patient showed no further recurring traumatic ulcer and bone exposure. Moreover, periodontal pocket was eliminated and food impaction was decreased. In conclusion, periodontal health could be achieved through removal of multiple bony exostoses and development of ideal osseous form.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effect of propofol on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following general anesthesia to the patients having oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods: In a prospective, randomized. case-controlled study. 200 patients were divided into two groups (n = 100 in each). In propofol (P) group, patients received 0.5 mg/kg of propofol intravenously at the end of anesthesia. In control (C) group, no antiemetics was given. Emetic symptoms like nausea, retching and vomiting were assessed by a blind nurse at 1 hour and at 24 hours after anesthesia respectively. Also level of sedation was checked by a blind anesthesiologist at 1 hour after anesthesia. Results: There were no significant differences in frequencies of nausea, retching and vomiting between C group and P group at 1 hour after anesthesia. However, nausea, retching and vomiting were all decreased in P group compared with C group at 24 hours after anesthesia (P < 0.05). Also there was no significant difference in level of sedation at 1 hour after anesthesia between C group and P group (P > 0.05). Conclusions: From the results, prophylactic use of subhypnotic dose of propofol could be effective for preventing PONV without change in level of sedation to the patients undergoing general anesthesia for oral and maxillofaical surgery.

Background: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of lidocaine (LD) topical anesthetic spray against oral microflora. Methods: Antimicrobial effects of 10% LD spray were assessed against six bacterial cultures obtained from volunteers: Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus sanguinis. The filter papers contained $50-{\mu}l$ LD, brain heart infusion (BHI) broth, or 0.2% chlorhexidine. Papers were placed on the cultured blood plates for 1-3 min. After the papers were removed, plates were incubated for 24 h. Bacterial growth on the contact areas was recorded as the antimicrobial score. The split mouth technique was use in for sample collection in clinical study. Filter papers soaked with either BHI broth or LD were placed on the right or left buccal mucosa for 1 min, and replaced with other papers to imprint biofilms onto the contact areas. Papers were placed on blood plates, incubated for 24 h, and antimicrobial scores were determined. Experiments were conducted for 2- and 3-min exposure times with a 1-day washout period. Results: LD exhibited bactericidal effects against E. coli, S. sanguinis, and S. salivarius within 1 min but displayed no effect against S. aureus, E. faecalis, and S. pyogenes. The antimicrobial effect of LD on oral microflora depended upon exposure time, similar to the results obtained from the clinical study (P < 0.05). LD showed 60-95% biofilm reduction on buccal mucosa. Conclusions: Antimicrobial activity of 10% LD topical anesthetic spray was increased by exposure time. The 3 min application reduced oral microflora in the buccal mucosa.

Mercury is one of the most frequently used heavy metal in dental clinic. Mercury poisoning rises up when someone is exposed to mercury chronically. In 1818, Amalgam was used for dental restorative procedure, and after then study about mercury toxicity has begun. Clinical signs of mercury toxicity in oral & maxillofacial area were increases of salivation, metallic taste, swelling and pain of tongue, redness and ulceration of oral mucosa, and increased mobility and loss of teeth. After we injected mercury($HgCl_{2}$) into intraperitoneum of rat, studied about histopathological changes of submandibular gland cell. Experimental group was divided into two groups by amount of mercury. (Group 1 was 0.5mg/Kg of mercury injection, group 2 was 1.0mg/Kg of mercury injection.) 1. After 3days of intraperitoneal injection, black granules were observed at macrophage cell in both group. In group 2, author found hyperchromatism of nucleus, and vacuolization of cellular matrix and nucleus of acinar cell. 2. After 1week of intraperitoneal injection, author found severe vacuolization of nucleus and cellular matrix, and irregular granules around nuclear membrane at mucous cell and serous cell in both group. Vacuolization of nucleus and cellular matrix was seen at duct cell in group 2. 3. After 2weeks of intraperitoneal injection, author could found severe vacuolization of cellular matrix, and sometimes nucleus was positioned in central area of cellular matrix at mucous and serous cell in both group. Vacuolization of nucleus and cellular matrix was found at vascular endothelial cell in group 2. 4. After 4weeks of intraperitoneal injection, destruction and distortion of gland cells were distinct. Vacuolization and destruction of nucleus and cellular matrix was found at duct cell in group 2. After intraperitoneal injection of mercury, we found equanimity of mercury and destruction of cellular matrix at serous cell, mucous cell, and duct cell of submandibular gland. So, we thought that metallic taste of mercury poisoning patient would be due to excretion of saliva containing mercury.
