Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive, severe neuromuscular disorder in which degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spine progressively weakens and ultimately paralyzes the proximal muscles. It occurs in one per 6,000-10,000 infants, and is a genetic disorder with the second-highest mortality rate worldwide. An 18-year-old male patient with SMA was referred for general anesthesia for difficulty in performing dental treatment due to limited mouth opening caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. However, the patient had a high risk of general anesthesia complications, so TMJ pain during mouth opening was reduced through local anesthesia of the TMJ. Fortunately, the anesthesia was successful in reducing pain during mouth opening, enabling the patient to receive dental treatment with an adequate mouth opening.

목적: 본 연구에서는 리튬 디실리케이트-지르코니아 이중도재관과 단일구조 지르코니아로 제작된 구치부 고정성 임플란트 지지 보철물의 2년간의 임상적 결과를 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2015년에서 2018년 사이 부산대학교 치과병원에 내원하여 치료받은 총 17명의 환자(남성: 12, 여성: 5)를 대상으로 60개의 구치부 고정성 임플란트 지지 보철물을 제작하였다(LP. Lithium disilicate pressed zirconia prostheses: n = 30, MZ. Monolithic zirconia prostheses: n = 30) 보철물 제작 후 2년간의 추적 관찰을 통해 임플란트 생존율, 변연골 흡수량, 치주낭 깊이, 치태지수, 출혈지수, 치석지수 및 합병증을 평가하였다. 결과: 모든 임플란트가 기능적 문제와 동요도 없이 100%의 생존율을 보였다. 변연골 흡수량은 관찰 12개월에 LP군이 MZ군 보다 더 적었으며 (P < .05), 임상 검사시 관찰 12개월의 치주낭 깊이 및 치석 지수는 LP군에서 더 높았다 (P < .05). 주된 합병증으로 MZ군에서 7개에서 1.5 mm 이상의 골흡수가 관찰되었으며, LP군에서 2개의 chipping이 관찰되었다. 결론: 본 연구의 한계 내에서, 구치부 임플란트 지지 보철물에서 리튬 디실리케이트가 프레스된 지르코니아 보철물은 단일구조 지르코니아 보철물과 함께 예지성 있는 치료방법으로 판단된다.

Many longitudinal studies have reported the successful osseointegration of dental implants, with survival rates approaching 90-95%. However, implants regarded as a "success" may have also failed to undergo osseointegration. A variety of complications and failures have been observed, including implant fracture - a rare and delayed biomechanical complication with serious clinical outcomes. Given the increasing popularity of dental implants, an increase in the number of failures due to late fractures is expected. This study sought to determine the rate of implant fractures and factors associated with its development. This retrospective evaluation analyzed implants placed at Wonkwang Dental Hospital (from 1996 to the present). In our study we found that the frequency of dental implant fractures was very low (0.23%, 8 implant fractures out of 3,500 implants placed). All observed fractures were associated with hybrid-surface threaded implants (with diameter of 4.0 or 3.75 mm). Prosthetic or abutment screw loosening preceded implant fracture in a majority of these cases.

If the implant is planted in the wrong position or direction, it is disadvantageous for stress distribution, and it is easy to cause complications such as screw loosening, abutment fracture, and implant fracture. If the position or orientation of the implant is not good, efforts should be made to minimize the problem through proper implant prosthetic treatment. In this article, the prosthetic method for facilitating future maintenance in cases with poor implant placement or orientation will be presented.

The true cementoma (attached cementoma) is an unusual benign jaw neoplasm fused to the root of the involved tooth. The authors have treated a true cementoma occurs at the right mandibular first molar. The 26 years old male patient who has complained of sweeling and discomfort of the involved tooth. The radiograph showed that the tumor represents a dense radiopacity bordered by a well demarcated peripheral radiolucent zone. Treatment was performed by extraction of the involved tooth with complete enucleation of the tumor. So the operation was done without any complications.

Alveolar bone resorption are unpredictable and always occur after tooth extraction. Such bone resorption causes insufficient alveolar ridge which make implant placement difficult. There are many techniques to increase the alveolar ridge. Representative procedures include ridge split, guided bone regeneration, bone graft using autogenous block bone, and alveolar distraction. In each procedure, there are indications and complications. Depending on the shape and the width of bone defects, we can choose procedures for horizontal bone augmentation and vertical bone augmentation.

Fused teeth, with all its lower prevalence, produce many problems in orthodontic treatment because of their altered form, large root, and unbalance of teeth numbers between upper and lower jaws. The authors have reviewed on its etiology, differential diagnosis, prevalence, clinical features and complications. Orthodontic treatment cases of 2 sisters with malocclusion including fused teeth were presented, in which asymmetrical extractions were performed and edgewise appliances were utilized.

In patients with insufficient bone height and width, the successful placement of dental implants is difficult with regards to maintaining an ideal pathway and avoiding important anatomical structures. Vertical and/or horizontal ridge augmentation may be necessary using various bone substitute materials and bone graft procedures. However, effective one-wall reconstruction has been challenging due to its poor blood supply and insufficient graft stability. In this paper, the authors summarize current evidence-based literature based on the author's clinical experience. Regarding bone substitutes, it is advantageous for clinicians to select the types of bone substitutes including autogenous bone. The most important consideration is to minimize complications through principle-based ridge augmentation surgery. Ridge augmentation should be decided with complete consent of the patients due to the possible disadvantages of surgery, complications, and unpredictable prognosis.
