연구 목적: 양악 총의치를 사용 중인 환자를 대상으로 하악에 4개의 작은 직경의 임플란트를 식립하여 implant supported overdenture로 전환 시 환자의 만족도 (저작, 유지, 발음, 심미, 사회적 문제, 심리적 문제)를 평가하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 60세 이상의 완전 무치악 환자 중 상하악 총의치를 장착한 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 전에 진단 스텐트를 이용한 방사선 사진 (CT, panorama) 촬영을 시행하고 현재 사용하고 있는 의치에 대한 만족도에 대해 조사하였다. 그 후 하악 이공 전방부에 4개의 mini dental implant 식립 및 immediate loading 후 방사선 사진 촬영을 하였다. 식립 1달 후와 3달 후에 방사선 사진을 촬영하였으며 수술 전과 동일한 설문지를 통한 overdenture 사용 시 만족도 조사하였다. 결과: 현재 9명의 환자를 대상으로 시행하였다. 1. 총 36개의 임플란트를 식립하였으며 이중 1개의 임플란트가 실패하여 97.2%의 생존률을 보였다. 2. 임플란트 식립 전, 후 만족도 비교는 oral health impact profile 49를 이용한 설문 조사를 통해 이루어 졌다. 저작 시 불편감, 유지, 발음, 심미, 사회적 활동시 불편감, 심리적 불편감 등으로 비교 분석하였으며 5점 기준으로 불편감이 심할 수록 낮은 점수를 부여하였다. 그 결과 전반적으로 만족도가 상승하였다. 그 중 유지력 면에서 가장 크게 만족도가 상승하였으며 사회활동시 불편감, 심리적 불편감, 저작시 불편감, 심미, 발음 순으로 개선되었다. 결론: 이번 연구를 통하여 mini dental implant를 이용한 의치를 사용시 환자의 만족도가 높아진 것을 볼 수 있었다. 추 후 좀 더 많은 환자를 통해 장기간 연구를 할 예정이며 추가적인 방사선 사진을 촬영하여 임플란트 주위 골 소실 여부를 관찰할 예정이다.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) trauma cases are commonly treated under general anesthesia. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an alternative method of anesthesia in patients who refuse general anesthesia. A combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine for sedation anesthesia in 3 frequent fracture types in the field of OMFS-Le Fort I fracture, mandibular fracture, and alveolar bone fracture-was used. Dexmedetomidine as the single agent has not shown stable success rates for invasive procedures. To overcome some of the pitfalls with dexmedetomidine, combination sedation using ketamine was performed. Visual analogue scale scores were recorded postoperatively. Dexmedetomidine combined with ketamine administration provided safe and effective sedation and anxiolysis for surgical reduction and internal fixation of OMFS fractures. It showed advantages of decreased admission time, reduced expenses, minimal pain, and reduced anesthetic burden for the patient thus ultimately increasing overall satisfaction.

This study aims to describe the clinical experience of single and bridge crowns fabricated using a cementless screw-retained implant prosthesis system. In the case of single crown (#37), regular link (HDL) was used, and bridge crowns (#15~#24), (#26~#27), (#17~#14) (#24~#26) were fabricated by selecting regular link and short link considering the vertical height. One abutment was hex shaped to ensure that it could be mounted while preventing insertion and prosthesis rotation. The advantages of cementless implant prosthesis include shorter chair time and periodic care, strong retention with LINK abutment, safety from inflammation, bacterial infection, and complications due to peri-implant cement, and high patient satisfaction. Dentists should double-check the position of the implant fixture and dental technicians should continuously manage the fit of the link and prosthesis with digital equipment to reduce screw loosening and fractures.

To investigate the perceptions and attitudes of dental hygienists toward radiation safety management in Korea. A total of 800 dental hygienists were randomly selected for an anonymous survey, and 203 of them participated. The questionnaire items included the following: sex, career period, type of installed radiographic equipment, recognition of the diagnostic reference level (DRL), participation in radiation safety education, and attitudes toward radiation protection for both patients and dental hygienists. The participants were divided into two groups according to their years of experience (< 10 years versus ≥ 10 years). The difference between the groups was investigated according to frequency distribution. Fisher's exact test or Pearson's chi-square (𝛘²) test was used as appropriate. A regression analysis was performed to investigate the impact of wearing a thyroid collar for personnel protection during patient radiation exposure. The types of installed radiographic equipment included panoramic radiography (96.1%), cephalometric radiography (76.9%), intraoral radiography (72.9%), and cone-beam computed tomography (69.5%). Significant differences were observed in the learning pathway for the DRL (Fisher's exact test, p < 0.05), satisfaction with radiation safety education (Pearson's 𝛘² test = 5.3975, Pr = 0.02), and use of personnel radiation monitoring systems (Pearson's 𝛘² test = 18.1233, Pr = 0.000) between the groups. Significant differences were also observed in personnel protection using a thyroid collar and patient protection during panoramic radiography (odds ratio = 14.2). Dental hygienists with more than 10 years of experience were more satisfied with radiation safety education and more interested in radiation monitoring. Considering career experience, customized, continuous, and effective radiation safety management education should be provided.
