With the understanding of tooth crown biomechanics and the progress of dentin adhesives, bonded porcelain restorations including a porcelain laminate veneer present an extended spectrum of indications for anterior teeth. Porcelain laminate veneer as a restoration offers the conservative solution that balances the functional and esthetic needs of the anterior dentition. Porcelain's stiffness, its surface characteristics, and the biomechanical strength achieved through bonding to tooth surface enable the restoration of the tooth as a whole supporting occlusal force and masticatory function. Namely, the optical effects inherent in the tooth and the lifelike features of the porcelain make that this restoration approaches the ultimate in esthetic satisfaction for both the dentist and the patient. A 49-year-old female patient with the incisal discoloration of upper central incisors and black triangle between the central incisors was referred to correct her esthetic problems with prosthodontic approach. The patient was satisfied with two porcelain laminate veneers that were made according to prof. Magne and Belser's recommendation.

Salivary research is at a critical crossroads regarding the clinical application of the basic knowledge. The purpose of this article is to introduce the current progress on salivary research to Korean dental scientists. The accumulated results based on advance technologies such as protein chemistry, molecular biology, and structural biology have showed that salivary macromolecules need structural requirements for proper function. Currently, several concepts or principles, which can be applied to salivary macromolecules, have been suggested. These include the role of molecules' conformation on biological activity, their multifunctional nature, their redundancy of function, their amphifunctional properties, and the potential importance of complexing between molecules. These concepts and the information available will help the development of saliva substitutes, the design of drug carriers and chimera molecules with enhanced function and the development of gene therapy protocols. These approaches will alleviate or restore lost salivary function and can be used to treat various kinds of oral and systemic diseases.

치내치는 치아 조직이 석회화되기 전에 법랑기가 치유두 내로 함입되어 형성된 발육성 기형이다. 가장 널리 통용되는 치내치의 분류법은 방사선 사진 상에서 함입(invagination)이 얼마나 치관에서 치근 쪽으로 연장되어 있는지에 따라 분류하는 Oehler's classification system이다. 그 중 Oehler's classification type III는 함입이 치근까지 연장되어 치주인대와 직접적으로 'pseudo foramen'을 통해 교통하는 경우를 말하며 대체로 치수와는 독립적으로 존재한다. Type III 함입을 통한 감염은 언제나 치주조직의 염증성 반응을 야기할 가능성이 있으며, 이처럼 'pseudo foramen' 주위로 염증성 병변이 발생한 경우 이를 'peri-invagination periodontitis'라 한다. 본 증례는 Oehler's type III 치내치를 갖는 상악 측절치의 'peri-invagination periodontitis'을 주소로 내원한 두 환자에게 각각 다른 치료적 접근을 통하여 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 치내치에 대한 처치 시 조기 진단과 예방적 치료를 통한 치수의 건강 유지가 매우 중요하나, 이미 치수까지 질환에 이환 되었을 경우 환아의 나이, 치근 성숙도, 함입의 종류, 염증의 치수 이환 여부 등을 고려하여 치료계획을 수립해야 한다.

Introduction: Tooth requiring extraction before radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients should be performed as long as possible before the initiation of radiation therapy. Conventionally, a minimum 2-week waiting primary healing period is recommended. Although the above 2-week period is ideal, it is not uncommon for the radiotherapist and cancer patient to feel an urgent need to proceed with radiotherapy despite the need for dental care. Therefore, alternative approaches for early radiotherapy, including conservative endodontic treatment and a 1-week waiting primary healing period after dental extraction at the time of radiotherapy were considered and applied based on a literature review Materials and Methods: The clinical study involved 120 head and neck cancer patients who were treated at Wonju Christian Hospital, Wonju College of Medicine, Yonsei University, from January 1995 to December 2004. Results: In the clinical study, there were no specific complications, such as, post-extraction wound infections, radiation osteitis and osteoradionecrosis over the recent 10 years despite the early radiotherapy. Conclusion: Based on the clinical study, a minimum 1-week waiting primary healing period for oral care before radiotherapy is suitable for early radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Irradiation is frequently employed as the sole therapy for oral cancer. These irradiated patients presents peculiar and progressive dental problems. But there is only scanty informations concerning specific approaches to endodontic treatment for head and neck cancer patients who have been subjected to tumorcidal doses of radiation therapy. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of cobalt-60 radiation on the pulpal healing of dogs after the direct pulp capping. As the experimental animals, 10 dogs (above 7-8 months after birth) were divided into 3 groups (Control, Group I, Group II). The cobalt-60 was irradiated to the Group I and Group II each 1,009 and 1,562.5 rads as single dose. As the capping material Dycal$^{(R)}$(L.D. Caulk company) was selected. After the direct pulp capping the dogs were sacrified 1, 2, 3, 4, week interval and made the original slides cut with a thickness of 8 microns and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. After examination and comparision of all specimen, the results of this study were drawn as follows; 1. The formation of reparative dentin was observed from the 1st week in the Control group, the 2nd week in the Group I & II. The few and irregular tuble structure was appeared in the 4th week in the Control group only, but failed in the Group I & II. 2. The continuity of dentin bridge was appeared in the 3rd week in all group and the degeneration of odontoblast in the 1st week of the Group II. 3. The congestion and hemorrhage in the pulp tissue were observed in all groups until 3rd week. The inflammation was appeared within the 2nd week in the Group I and especially marked in the Group II, but absent in the Control group. 4. In cases Dycal into the pulp tissue deeply, the local necrosis of pulp and decrease of dentin formation was observed.

Mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis is an alternative approach for correcting mandibular transverse deficiencies and dental crowding. The traditional approaches for these are extraction of teeth and arch expansion with traditional orthodontic treatment. Also extractions are usually unavoidable in patients with severe crowding. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis by use of tooth-borne expansion appliance. All of 12 patients had been performed distraction osteogenesis. The surgical procedures were accomplished under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation in an ambulatory surgical setting using a routine distraction protocol. The latency period was 5 days or 7 days after symphyseal osteotomies. The rate & rhyth is a intermittent, 0.75mm or 1.0 mm per day and stabilized for 6, 8 weeks after distraction. The time of orthodontic tooth movement after distraction was variable from 2 weeks to 8 weeks (mean 3 weeks). All patients had been evaluated with study casts, plain periapical films, panorama radiograms before & after surgery. Mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis increased mandibular arch width and corrected dental crowding, with paralleling tooth-borne movement, without proclination of the mandibular incisors.

The purpose of this case report was to introduce the concept of orthodontic and orthopedic treatment for a growing patient with Tessier number 0 cleft. A 5-year-old boy patient with Tessier number 0 cleft presented congenitally missing maxillary central incisors (MXCI), a bony defect at the premaxilla, a constricted maxillary arch, an anterior openbite, and maxillary hypoplasia. His treatment was divided into three stages: management of the bony defect at the premaxilla and the congenitally missing MXCIs using a fan-type expansion plate, iliac bone grafting, and eruption guidance of the maxillary lateral incisors into the graft area for substitution of MXCIs; management of the maxillary hypoplasia using sequential facemask therapy with conventional and skeletal anchorage; and management of the remaining occlusal problems using fixed orthodontic treatment. The total treatment duration was 15 years and 10 months. Class I canine and Class II molar relationships and normal overbite and overjet were achieved at the end of treatment. Although the long-term use of facemask therapy resulted in significant protraction of the retrusive maxilla, the patient exhibited Class III profile because of continued mandibular growth. However, the treatment result was well maintained after 2 years of retention. The findings from this case suggest that interdisciplinary and customized approaches are mandatory for successful management of maxillary hypoplasia, bony defect, and dental problems in Tessier number 0 cleft. Moreover, considering the potential of orthognathic surgery or distraction osteogenesis, meticulous monitoring of mandibular growth until growth completion is important.
