In a one-stage approach, where the implant installation is performed simultaneously with the iliac bone graft, various complications are observed. The observed complications are as follows; severe bone resorption at the maxillary anterior region and the area adjacent to the nasal cavity, shortage of soft tissue to cover the augmented alveolar bone, difficulties with oral hygiene care caused by the diminished vestibular space and non-esthetic prosthesis. These are good reasons for choosing the two-stage approach over the one-stage approach in spite of all the advantages it has, and should be taken into careful consideration when diagnosing and planning treatment using the one-stage approach.

Although rare, hypodermic needle fractures can occur in the maxillofacial region. In cases of fracture, urgent intervention is required to prevent further complications. We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient with a fractured needle in the left sublingual fossa during a lingual nerve block 6 months before referral. The fragment of a 30-gauge needle was located using cone-beam computed tomography and retrieved under local anesthesia with blunt dissection. The patient recovered uneventfully, except for predictable postoperative inflammatory complications, which resolved within 2 weeks. Precautions should be implemented to prevent needle fractures, which are usually preventable. However, if the retrieval is unsuccessful, the patient should be referred to a well-equipped surgical unit without delay.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to compare surgical complications between simple implant placement and implant placement combined with complicated surgical procedures. We also evaluated prosthetic complications according to the specific types of prosthesis. Material and Method : A retrospective analysis of dental chart of patients who was performed implant therapy during the period from June 2003 to December 2005 was carried out. This study was performed on 408 patients (208 male, 200 female). In addition, 1671 implants were performed. Based on their medical record and radiographs, the authors evaluated surgical and prosthetic complications, surgical procedures accompanied at the time of implant, risk factors of implant failure etc. Result : Surgical complications were developed on 358 implants(21.4% on total placed implants) and wound dehiscence was most prevalent complication. On maxillary posterior area, surgical complications developed more frequently on implants with major surgery and showed a significant difference. And complication rate of implants accompanied with GBR was higher than that of simple implants placement and also showed significant difference. The implant supported prosthesis showed no statistical difference in the occurrence of complications according to the types of prosthesis, and food retention was the most common post-prosthetic complication. Also we speculated that length and width of implant showed significant correlation to the failure of implant primary osseointegration. Conclusion : Based on the result, clinician should provide more careful maintenance for patients with implant placement accompanied by complicated surgical procedure. And periodic maintenance for the patient is requested for long-term survival of implant therapy.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the cumulative survival rates (CSRs) and the incidence of postloading complications (PLCs) between a bone-level internal connection system (ICS-BL) and an external connection system (ECS). Methods: The medical records of patients treated with either a ICS-BL or ECS between 2007 and 2010 at Asan Medical Center were reviewed. PLCs were divided into two categories: biological and technical. Biological complications included >4 mm of probing pocket depth, thread exposure in radiographs, and soft tissue complications, whereas technical complications included chipping of the veneering material, fracture of the implant, fracture of the crown, loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw, loss of retention, and loss of access hole filling material. CSRs were determined by a life-table analysis and compared using the log-rank chi-square test. The incidence of PLC was compared with the Pearson chi-squared test. Results: A total of 2,651 implants in 1,074 patients (1,167 ICS-BLs in 551 patients and 1,484 ECSs in 523 patients) were analyzed. The average observation periods were 3.4 years for the ICS-BLs and 3.1 years for the ECSs. The six-year CSR of all implants was 96.1% (94.9% for the ICS-BLs and 97.1% for the ECSs, P=0.619). Soft tissue complications were more frequent with the ECSs (P=0.005) and loosening or fracture of the abutment or screw occurred more frequently with the ICS-BLs (P<0.001). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the ICS-BL was more prone to technical complications while the ECS was more vulnerable to biological complications.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the complications and side effects associated with the clinical use of orthodontic miniscrews by systematically reviewing the best available evidence. Methods: A survey of articles published up to March 2020 investigating the complications associated with miniscrew insertion, in both the maxilla and mandible, was performed using 7 electronic databases. Clinical studies, case reports, and case series reporting complications associated with the use of orthodontic miniscrew implants were included. Two authors independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment. Results: The database survey yielded 24 articles. The risk-of-bias assessment revealed low methodological quality for the included studies. The most frequent adverse event reported was root injury with an associated periradicular lesion, vitality loss, pink discoloration of the tooth, and transitory loss of pulp sensitivity. Chronic inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the miniscrew with mucosal overgrowth was also reported. The other adverse events reported were lesion of the buccal mucosa at the insertion site, soft-tissue necrosis, and perforation of the floor of the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. Adverse events were also reported after miniscrew removal and included secondary bleeding, miniscrew fracture, scars, and exostosis. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for clinicians to preliminarily assess generic and specific insertion site complications and side effects.

Oral appliances therapy is becoming increasingly recognized as a successful treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). Compared with continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP), the gold standard therapy for OSA, oral appliance therapy are less efficacious for severe OSA but are more acceptable and tolerable for patients, which in turn, may lead to a comparable level of therapeutic effectiveness. Nevertheless, the various side effects of oral appliance therapy, such as, increased salivation or dryness, pain or discomfort in the teeth or gums, occlusal discomfort in the morning, temporomandibular disorders, dental and occlusal changes may cause discontinuation of treatment or changes in treatment plan. Therefore, oral appliance therapy should be provided by a qualified dentist who can evaluate oral tissues, occlusion, and temporomandibular joints, and prevent and manage the possible side effects.

차아염소산나트륨은 가장 자주 쓰이는 근관 세척제이지만, 그 독성과 부작용에 대해서는 많이 인식되어 있지 않다. 본 증례는 근관 치료 중 차아염소산나트륨이 치근단 조직으로 압출되어 심각한 합병증이 발생하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다. 만 5세의 남자 환자에서 근관 치료 중 차아염소산나트륨이 치근단 조직으로 유입되어 갑작스런 통증 및 부종, 주위 조직의 피하출혈 그리고 근관 내의 지속적 출혈을 보였다. 환자는 입원치료를 받았고, 진통제와 항생제를 처방받았다. 근단공이 넓은 미성숙 영구치와 유치, 치근흡수, 천공이 일어난 치아에서는 근관 치료 시 차아염소산나트륨이 압출되지 않도록 더욱 각별한 주의가 필요하다. 합병증이 발생하였을 때에는 적절한 환자의 관리와 약물치료가 필요하다.
