상실된 상악 전치부는 고정성 보철물이나 가철성 보철물 또는 임플란트 보철 등 다양한 방법을 통하여 수복할 수 있다. 이 중 적절하게 제작된 회전삽입로 국소의치는 경제적, 해부학적 한계를 가진 환자에서 기능적, 심미적으로 우수한 결과를 보일 수 있다. 회전삽입로 국소의치는 일반적 국소의치의 일직선 삽입로와는 달리 국소의치의 한 쪽 유지장치부가 먼저 장착된 뒤 회전하면서 반대쪽의 유지부가 삽입되어 의치가 안착된다. 이 때 언더컷 속에 위치하는 견고한 부연결장치에서 유지력을 획득하고 회전삽입로와 평행하게 긴 수로형 혹은 구미형(dovetail) 레스트 시트에서 지지 및 파지를 얻으므로 일반적인 가요성 유지암 및 파지암을 생략할 수 있어 심미적으로 우수하고 위생 관리에도 유리하다. 그러나 회전삽입로 국소의치에서 한번 제작된 견고한 유지부는 정교한 조절이 불가능해 상대적으로 기공작업이 어렵고 정밀한 보철물 디자인이 필요하므로 임상적인 성공을 위해서는 회전삽입로 국소의치의 원리에 대한 깊은 이해가 필요하다. 이번 증례보고는 회전삽입로 국소의치를 장착한 후 장기적인 유지관리의 어려움을 겪은 증례를 소개하고 이를 예방할 수 있는 이론적, 기공적 주의사항을 보고하고자 한다.

Computer-guided system은 술 전에 임플란트 위치를 계획하고 이와 일치하도록 구강 내에 임플란트를 식립할 수 있게 하는 방법이다. 하지만 이렇게 임플란트를 식립한다 할지라도 실제 매식된 임플란트의 위치는 원래 계획하였던 위치와 차이가 있을 수 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 실제 임상에서 computer guided system을 이용하여 임플란트를 식립한 환자들의 경우 계획한 위치와 실제 식립된 임플란트 사이에 발생하는 변위량의 범위를 알아보고 그 임상적 적합성을 평가하는 것이다. 'NobelGuide' system (Nobel Biocare AB, G$\ddot{o}$teborg, Sweden)을 이용하여 Br${\aa}$nemark MK III Groovy RP (Nobel Biocare AB, G$\ddot{o}$teborg, Sweden)임플란트 식립을 시행 받은 다섯 명의 환자를 선정하였다. 수술용 형판에 지대주 유사체를 연결한 후 술 전 측정 모형을 제작하였고 최종 보철물 제작 시 최종 인상을 채득하여 술 후 측정 모형을 제작하였다. 두 측정 모형의 CT 방사선 사진을 촬영 후 3차원적으로 재현하였고 재현된 모델 상에서 식립된 임플란트 위치를 지정하였다. 각 임플란트는 임플란트 경부와 첨단의 중심점을 연결하여 임플란트 축을 설정하였으며 두 축 간의 각도가 측정되었다. 임플란트 간 거리는 각 임플란트의 경부에서, 설정된 임플란트 축이 지나가는 중심점 간의 거리를 측정하였다. 총 5명 환자의 58개 부위의 임플란트 간 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 거리와 각도 변위량이 기록되었으며 평균 및 최대 변위값을 산출하였다. 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 위치 간 거리의 변위량은 평균 0.41 mm였고 최대 1.7 mm의 범위 하에 있었다. 술 전과 술 후 임플란트 간 위치의 각도의 변위량은 평균 $1.99^{\circ}$를 나타냈으며 최대 각도 변위량은 $6.7^{\circ}$를 나타내었다. 술 전 계획된 임플란트와 술 후 식립된 임플란트 간의 길이와 각도에 따른 평균 변위량은 computer-guided implant system을 실제 임상에 적용하는 데 있어 큰 문제가 존재하지 않고 '수동적 적합(passive fit)'을 얻기에 무리가 없을 허용 가능할 만한 값을 나타냈다.

In the present study, results of the identification of Gram-positive bacilli (GPB) were analyzed by using the MALDI-TOF MS technique to score each 2-year blood culture at a university hospital. In addition, 16S rRNA sequence analyses and MALDI-TOF MS results are compared to targeting strains that had been isolated two or more times within the same patient, to evaluate the usefulness of MALDI-TOF MS in GPB identification. According to the cut-off (${\geq}1.7$) criteria, there were 410 (57.5%) reliable strains and 303 (42.5%) non-identified strains among the GPB identification results of 713 strains, using a microflex MALDI Biotyper (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany). The isolation appeared most often in the following order: Corynebacterium striatum, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Paenibacillus urinalis, and Listeria monocytogenes. Nearly three-fourths, 66 out of 89 (74.2%) of the strains for Corynebacterium striatum; 44 out of 60 (73.3%) strains for Bacillus cereus; and all (25 out of 25, 100%) Listeria monocytogenes strains were identified by their high scores of 2.0 or higher. Most (293 strains out of 303) non-identified strains were strains isolated only once and not significant as infectious bacilli. A total of 43 out of 50 (86.0%) strains matched and were able to be identified based on the 16 rRNA sequencing comparison results of strains that were isolated twice or more within the same patient and significant as infection bacilli. Non-matching among 5 out of 7 strains was not identified, even with MALDI-TOF MS. In conclusion, GPB can be identified in blood cultures using MALDI-TOF MS. This can be done accurately with ease, rapidly, and at a low cost. It is also thought to be helpful in GPB diagnosis and treatment.

최근 구치부 부분 무치악 환자의 임플란트 보철 수복은 기능적뿐만 아니라 심미적으로도 환자의 만족을 이끌어내야 하는 과제를 안고 있다. 이렇게 환자의 요구가 높아지면서 상실된 자연치아와 유사한 형태의 임플란트 보철을 사용한 구강회복이 보철수복의 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 기성 지대주 보다는 더 넓은 customized CAD/CAM 지대주를 사용함으로써 자연스러운 출현윤곽을 재현할 수 있다. 넓은 지대주를 지지해주기 위해서는 충분한 폭과 높이를 가지는 각화치은이 존재해야 하는데, 만약 긴 치아상실기간이나 골이식술 등으로 인해 임플란트 주위에 각화치은이 부족한 경우에는 연조직 증대술을 시행하는 것이 추천된다. 이러한 과정을 통해 심미적이고 기능적인 임플란트 보철 제작이 가능하며 구강위생관리를 용이하게 하고 향후 임플란트 주위염의 발생 가능성을 감소시킨다. 본 증례는 구치부 부분 무치악 환자에서 골이식술, 상악동 이식술, 임플란트 식립술 및 연조직 이식술을 사용하여 부족한 치조골과 각화치은 및 협측전정을 회복하였으며, customized CAD/CAM 지대주와 지르코니아 보철물을 이용하여 수복한 증례로 주기적인 내원 및 검사를 통해 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻었기에 이 사례를 보고하고자 한다.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of implants that were placed within the maxillary sinus that has a perforated sinus membrane by the lateral window approach. Methods: We examined the medical records of the patients who had implants placed within the maxillary sinus that has a perforated sinus membrane by the lateral approach at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Chonnam National University Dental Hospital from January 2009 to December 2015. There were 41 patients (male:female = 28:13). The mean age of patients was $57.2{\pm}7.2years$ at the time of operation (range, 20-76 years). The mean follow-up duration was 2.1 years (range, 0.5-5 years) after implant placement. Regarding the method of sinus elevation, only the lateral approach was included in this study. Results: Ninety-nine implants were placed in 41 patients whose sinus membranes were perforated during lateral approach. The perforated sinus membranes were repaired with a resorbable collagen membrane. Simultaneous implant placements with sinus bone grafting were performed in 37 patients, whereas delayed placements were done in four patients. The average residual bone height was $3.4{\pm}2.0mm$ in cases of simultaneous implant placement and $0.6{\pm}0.9mm$ in cases of delayed placement. Maxillary bone graft with implant placement, performed on the patients with a perforated maxillary sinus membrane did not fail, and the cumulative implant survival rate was 100%. Conclusions: In patients with perforations of the sinus mucosa, sinus elevation and implant placement are possible regardless of the location and size of membrane perforation. Repair using resorbable collagen membrane is a predictable and reliable technique.

Background: Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) is the most widely used mandibular surgical technique in orthognathic surgery and is easy to relocate the distal segments, accelerating bone repair by the large surface of bone contact. However, it can cause neurosensory dysfunction (NSD) or sensory loss by injury of the inferior alveolar nerve. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate NSD after BSSRO and modifiers at NSD recovery. Methods: In this study, NSD characteristics after BSSRO from 2009 to 2014 at the Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital were evaluated. The pattern of sensory recovery over time was also evaluated based on factors such as field of sensory dysfunction, surgical procedure, presence of pre-operative facial asymmetry, and postoperative medications. Results: Most of the patients had shown NSD immediately after orthognathic surgery. Among the 1192 sides of 596 patients, NSD was observed in 953 sides and 544 patients. Sexual predilection was shown in males (p value = 0.0062). In the asymmetric group of 132 patients, NSD was observed in 128 patients (96.97 %). In the symmetric group of 464 patients, NSD was observed in 416 patients (89.45 %); on the other hand, NSD was observed significantly higher in the asymmetric group (p = 0.025). NSD-associated factors were analyzed, and vitamin B12 may be beneficial for NSD recovery. Conclusions: There was a difference between the symmetric group and the asymmetric group in NSD recovery. Vitamin B12 can be regarded as an effective method to nerve recovery. However, a further prospective study is needed.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new technique for localizing impacted mesiodens using its horizontal magnification ratio on panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods : Location-magnification equation of a panoramic equipment was obtained from horizontal magnification ratio of a metal ball which was located variable positions from the center of image layer at interval of 2 mm. Panoramic radiographs were obtained from a skull phantom with a metal ball which was a substitute for impacted mesiodens and was embedded 10mm(Group 1), 15mm(Group 2), and 20mm(Group 3) posterior to the central incisor. Each group obtained 7 panoramic radiographs at variable positions and one periapical radiograph. Three methods were used to estimate the actual width of the incisors and the balls which were used to calculate the magnification ratio. The methods included using the actual incisor width and the calculated ball width (Method 1), using the actual incisor width and the ball widths measured on periapical radiograph (Method 2), and using the incisor and the ball widths measured on periapical radiograph (Method 3). The location of the metal ball was calculated by using the location-magnification equation. Results : The smallest difference between the calculated and the actual distance was $0.1{\pm}0.7 \;mm$ in Group 1/ Method 3. The largest difference was $-4.2{\pm}1.6 \;mm$ in Group 3/Method 2. In all groups, method 3 was the most accurate. Conclusion : Quantitative localization of impacted mesiodens is possible by using panoramic radiograph.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the tensile bond strength of In-Ceram alumina core treat-ed by ion assisted reaction(IAR). Ion assisted reaction is a prospective surface modification technique without damage by a keV low energy ion beam irradiation in reactive gas environments or reactive ion itself. 120 In-Ceram specimens were fabricated according to manufacturer's directions and divided into six groups by surface treatment methods of In-Ceram alumina core. SD group(control group): sandblasting SL group: sandblasting + silane treatment SC group: sandblasting + Siloc treatment IAR I group: sandblasting + Ion assisted reaction with argon ion and oxygen gas IAR II group: sandblasting + Ion assisted reaction with oxygen ion and oxygen gas IAR III group: sandblasting + Ion assisted reaction with oxygen ion only For measuring of tensile bond strength, pairs of specimens within a group were bonded with Panavia 21 resin cement using special device secured that the film thickness was $80{\mu}m$. The results of tensile strength were statistically analyzed with the SPSS release version 8.0 programs. Physical change like surface roughness of In-Ceram alumina core treated by ion assistad reaction was evaluated by Contact Angle Measurement, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy; chemical surface change was evaluated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The results as follows: 1. In tensile bond strength, there were no statistically significant differences with SC group, IAR groups and SL group except control group(P<0.05). 2. Contact angle measurement showed that wettability of In-Ceram alumina core was enhanced after IAR treatment. 3. SEM and AFM showed that surface roughness of In-Ceram alumina core was not changed after IAR treatment. 4. XPS showed that IAR treatment of In-Ceram alumina core was enabled to create a new functional layer. A keV IAR treatment of In-Ceram alumina core could enhanced tensile bond strength with resin cement. In the future, this ion assisted reaction may be used effectively in various dental materials as well as in In-Ceram to promote the bond strength to natural tooth structure.

As Fiber-reinforced composite restorations cannot be made without leaving a marginal gap, luting cements play a pivotal role in sealing the margins as a prevention against margnal leakage. A recently introduced adhesive resin cement system is claimed to adhere chemically, as well as mechanically, to tooth substances, dental alloys and porcelain. But when considering the clinical variation conventional cementation using Zinc Phosphate and Glass-Ionomer can be requested. A vitro study was undertaken to compare microleakage and marginal fitness of Fiber-reinforced composite crowns(Targis/Vectris) depending upon luting cements. Fifty non-carious human premolar teeth were randomly divided into five experimental groups of 10 teeth each and luted with five luting cements. ($Bistite\;II^(R),\;Super-bond^(R),\;Variolink\;II^(R)$), Zinc phosphate and Glass-Ionomer cement) After 24 hours of being luted, all specimens were thermocycled 300 times through water bath of $5^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}C$ in each bath, then the quality of the marginal fitness was measured by the Digital Microscope and marginal leakage was characterized using Dye Penetration technique and the Digital Microscope The results were as follows : 1. The mean values of marginal fit were Bistite II($46.78{\mu}m$), Variolink II($56.25{\mu}m$), Super-Bond($56.78{\mu}m$), Glass-Ionomer($99.21{\mu}m$), Zinc Phosphate($109.49{\mu}m$) indicated a statistically significant difference at p<0.001. 2. The mean microleakage values of tooth-cement interface, restoration-cement interface were increased in the order of Variolink II, Bistite II, Super-Bond, Glass-Ionomer, Zinc Phosphate 3. Crowns luted with resin cement (Bistite II, Super-Bond, Variolink II, etc) exhibited less marginal gap and marginal leakage than those luted with conventional Glass-Ionomer and Zinc Phosphate cement. 4. The results indicated that all five luting systems yielded comparable and acceptable marginal fit.

상악 견치의 매복은 임상에서 종종 관찰되며 인접치의 치근을 흡수하거나 낭종을 형성하는 등 여러 문제점을 유발한다. 매복 치아의 치료는 치근단의 완성 정도, 치아 매복의 방향과 위치, 맹출 공간의 존재 여부, 매복치 주변의 과잉치, 치아종, 낭종 등의 존재 여부 등에 따라 발치, 교정적 견인, 외과적 자가이식 등의 술식이 결정된다. 자가이식은 치아의 위치가 교정력을 가할 수 없는 위치에 존재하거나 치아 이동이 제한을 받게 되어 통상적인 치료가 불가능할 경우에 발거에 앞서 고려할 수 있으며, 자가이식의 예후는 치주인대의 보존, 치근의 완성도, 외과적 술식, 환자 연령, 근관치료 시기, 치아고정 기간 및 형태와 구강외 저장 용액 등에 의해 결정된다. 본 증례들은 영구 치열기 말기에 상악 견치 매복으로 내원하였고 그 매복 위치가 자발적인 맹출 유도나 교정적 견인 및 배열이 어렵다고 판단되었다. 따라서 자가이식과 근관치료를 시행하고 주기적인 관찰 중이다.
