Background: Articaine, a new amide-type local anesthetic, was recently commercially available in Korea. The purpose of this study was to compare the anesthetic efficacy between articaine HCl and lidocaine HCl for the surgical extraction of bilateral mandibular impacted third molars. Patients and Methods: Forty young and healthy patients with bilateral impacted third molars were selected with permission. Randomly, one side of impacted third molar was operated under local anesthesia using 4% articaine and the other side under 2% lidocaine after 1 or 2 week recovery time. Intraoperative pain was evaluated via 0-10 cm visual analog scale (VAS) by both the patient and operator immediately after the operation. After 1 day and 7 days, the complications of local anesthesia were checked. Results: The pain VAS scores in articaine group, evaluated by both the patient and operator, were lower than those in lidocaine group, but they were not statistically significant (P = 0.44 and 0.54, respectively). The incidence of complications of local anesthesia between articaine and lidocaine was similar. Conclusion: In this study, articaine showed at least equal efficacy compared to lidocaine. The further dose-controlled study with more pharmacokinetic parameters will be needed.

Background: Fractures of the orbital wall are mainly caused by traffic accidents, assaults, and falls and generally occur in men aged between 20 and 40 years. Complications that may occur after an orbital fracture include diplopia and decreased visual acuity due to changes in orbital volume, ocular depression due to changes in orbital floor height, and exophthalmos. If surgery is delayed too long, tissue adhesion will occur, making it difficult to improve ophthalmologic symptoms. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment are important. Fractures of the superior orbital wall are often accompanied by skull fractures. Most of these patients are unable to perform an early ocular evaluation due to neurosurgery and treatment. These patients are more likely to show tissue adhesion, making it difficult to properly dissect the tissue for wall reconstruction during surgery. Case presentation: This report details a case of superior orbital wall reconstruction using superior orbital rim osteotomy in a patient with a superior orbital wall fracture involving severe tissue adhesion. Three months after reconstruction, there were no significant complications. Conclusion: In a patient with a superior orbital wall fracture, our procedure is helpful in securing the visual field and in delamination of the surrounding tissue.

임상에서 흔히 발견되는 과잉치는 치아 형성기에 발생할 수 있는 치아 발육 이상의 하나로 여러 가지 치과적 합병증을 야기한다. 특히 상악 정중부에 역위 매복된 과잉치는 발생률이 높고 인접치에 미치는 영향이 크다는 점에서 임상적으로 중요하다. 과잉치에 대해서 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 보고되고 있으나 대부분의 연구는 표본 수가 적었으며 구내 방사선 사진이나 파노라마 방사선 사진만으로 검사하여 과잉치의 형태 및 위치 그리고 주위 조직에 미치는 영향 등에 관하여 정확하게 평가하기 어려웠을 것으로 생각된다. 이에 저자는 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치의 개수, 형태, 만곡도, 위치, 근접도 및 합병증을 삼차원적으로 평가하기 위하여 1998년 7월부터 2002년 6월까지 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원한 환자중 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치의 진단을 위하여 전산화 단층 방사선사진 촬영을 한 경우에 대해 임상 기록지, 파노라마 방사선사진과 전산화 단층 방사선사진을 이용하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 상악 정중부 역위 매복 과잉치는 3.4:1로 여자보다 남자에서 호발하였다. 2. 과잉치는 1개 있는 경우가 가장 많았고 2, 3개 순으로 관찰되었으며, 평균 1.3개였고, 6-8세에 많이 발견되었다. 3. Conical 형태의 과잉치가 80.6%로 가장 많았고, tuberculate, supplemental 형태 순으로 나타났다. 4. 과잉치가 tuberculate 형태일 경우, 치근이 만곡되었을 경우와 인접치와 근접도가 높을 경우 합병증이 더 높게 발생하였다.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the factors leading to the problem of unilateral condylar fractures and suggest a treatment guideline of treatment for good prognosis in surgical treatment. The factors can be age, sex, fracture site, degree of displacement, posterior occlusion loss, post-operative alteration of condylar head position, post-operative condylar head resorption, and maxillomandibular fixation period. One hundred and eleven patients with unilateral condylar fractures, who were treated by surgical method from 1990 Feb. to 2000 Feb., were studied. Minimum follow-up period was 6 months. The results were as follows ; 1. In the age group of $41{\sim}60$, females had significantly higher complication rate than males, therefore we must be careful about treatment of female in this age group 2. In level I fractures of the mandibular condyle, because there were abundant complications when the patients were treated with fragment removal, conservative treatment is recommended over the surgical approach. 3. There were no differences in the complication rate, in the level II, III fractures. but were severe complications in the cases of patients treated by Dr.Nam's method or fragment removal. Therefore, open reduction and internal fixation is recommended over Dr.Nam's method or fragment removal. 4. In level IV fractures, open reduction and internal fixation is recommended 5. Although there was a higher complication rate depending on the degree of deviation, there was no correlation between the degree of deviation and development of complications in each level of fracture 6. Because the complication rate was higher in cases of condylar resorption, vertical dimension loss, and alteration of condylar head position, we must make an effort to prevent such complications during treatment

Background: Various techniques have been introduced to decrease complications during nasotracheal intubation. A common practice is to use nasal packing with a cotton stick and 0.01% epinephrine jelly. However, this procedure can be painful to patients and can damage the nasal mucosa. Xylometazoline spray can induce effective vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa without direct nasal trauma. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of these two methods. Methods: Patients were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 40 each): xylometazoline spray group or epinephrine packing group. After the induction of general anesthesia, patients allocated to the xylometazoline spray group were treated with xylometazoline spray to induce nasal cavity mucosa vasoconstriction, and the epinephrine packing group was treated with nasal packing with two cotton sticks and 0.01% epinephrine jelly. The number of attempts to insert the endotracheal tube into the nasopharynx, the degree of difficulty during insertion, and bleeding during bronchoscopy were recorded. An anesthesiologist, blinded to the intubation method, estimated the severity of epistaxis 5 min after intubation and postoperative complications. Results: No significant intergroup difference was observed in navigability (P = 0.465). The xylometazoline spray group showed significantly less epistaxis during intubation (P = 0.02). However, no differences were observed in epistaxis 5 min after intubation or postoperative epistaxis (P = 0.201). No inter-group differences were observed in complications related to nasal intubation and nasal pain. Conclusion: Xylometazoline spray is a good alternative to nasal packing for nasal preparation before nasotracheal intubation.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is one of the major neurodegenerative diseases that involves degeneration at all levels of the motor system- from the cortex to the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Patients with ALS often have difficulty of ambulation for dental treatment though they have poor oral hygiene state. General anesthesia may cause respiratory problem due to its high sensitivity to muscle relaxant and weakened upper airway. In this case report, 38-year-old female patient with ALS required many dental treatments. Conscious sedation with intravenous target controlled infusion method was successfully employed and patient was discharged without any complications.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is frequent complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In the chronic GVHD (cGVHD), the oral cavity is the most commonly affected region. The clinical manifestations include erythema, ulceration, lichenoid-hyperkeratotic change in oral mucosa, dry mouth, and limitation of mouth opening. The initial treatment strategy of oral cGVHD patients is topical corticosteroid therapy in various formulation. However, corticosteroid resistance appears in some patients. We report a case of a 25-year-old male patient with oral cGVHD, who has resistance to topical corticosteroid medication, treated with 0.03% tacrolimus ointment and low-dose doxycycline. The patient showed subjective and objective improvement without side effect.
