Distraction osteogenesis is a biologic process in which new bone is formed between bone fragments being separated by a tractional force. This technique has the advantage of initiating new bone growth without bone transplantation and promoting the growth of soft tissue. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis has shown to be effective to treat congenital or acquired mandibular hypoplasias. On the basis of positive results with implant-supported prostheses, the use of implants in the distracted site can significantly help stabilize the prosthesis. We obtained good result in the patient with mandibular deficiency due to trauma, who have been reconstructed with distraction osteogenesis and implant. We report our experiences with literature view.

Ankylosed tooth is defined as 'the discontinuance of normal passive tooth eruption without any mechanical barrier'. Ankylosed tooth treatment is a challenge to dental clinicians. In treatment of maxillary molar ankylosis cases there are risks of oro-antral fistula, displacement of root fragments into the maxillary sinus, as well as the necessity for providing additional sinus bone augmentation for future implant placement. In this study, we suggested a new technique using a piezoelectric device and a lateral side approach to the maxillary sinus leading to the simultaneous removal of the ankylosed maxillary molar and sinus grafting for the purpose of implant site development.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical survival rate of Astra Tech implants in the maxillary molar region performed with sinus lift and bone graft. Materials and Methods: Ninety-nine Astra Tech implants (Osseospeed) placed in the maxillary molar region using sinus lift from September 2009 to February 2012 were selected with a minimum follow-up period of 1 year. The height of alveolar bone, sinus approach technique, bone material and implant survival rate were evaluated. Results: Of the 99 implants, the survival rate was 90.9%; 8 implants failed within 1 year after implant placement, and 1 implant failed 1 year after implant loading. All failed implants were placed with sinus lift simultaneously. The average height of alveolar bone before implant placement was 6.9 mm, while the height of alveolar bone of failed implants was 2.1 mm, on average. Conclusion: Astra Tech implants placed in the maxillary molar region had generally good survival rates, but the relationship between reduced pre-implant alveolar bone height and implant failure requires further attention.

The purpose of this study was comparision of conventional tomography with reformatted computed tomography for dental implant in locating the mandibular canal. Five dogs were used and after conventional tomographs and reformatted computed tomographs were taken, four dentist traced all films. Mandibles were sectioned with 2mm slice thickness and the sections were then radiographed(contact radiography). Each radiographic image was traced and linear measurements were made from mandibular canal to alveolar crest, buccal cortex, lingual cortex, and inferior border. Following results were acquired : 1. Reformatted computed tomographs were exacter than conventional tomography by alveolar crest to canal length of -0.6mm difference between real values and radiographs. 2. The average measurements of buccal cortex to mandibular canal width and lingual cortex to mandibular canal width of conventional tomographs were exacter than reformatted computed tomographs, but standard deviations were higher than reformatted computed tomographs. 3. Standard deviations of reformatted computed tomographs were lower than conventional tomographs at all comparing sites 4. At reformatted computed tomography 62.5％ of the measurements performed were within. : filmm of the true value, and at conventional tomography 24.1％ were. 5. Mandibular canal invisibiity was 0.8％ at reformatted computed tomography and 9.2％ at conventional tomography. Reformatted computed tomography has been shown to be more useful radiographic technique for assessment of the mandibular canal than conventional tomography.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the results of nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps as a modality for treatment of oral submucous fibrosis. Materials and Methods: Eleven patients of Stage III or IVa maximum interincisal opening were selected to be operated. Nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps were done for both the sides. All of the flaps were done in a single stage and were inferiorly based. A similar flap harvest/surgical technique was utilized for all the cases. Results: The preoperative mouth opening ranged from 5 to 16 mm, with a mean of 10.09 mm. At 6 months the mouth opening ranged from 29 to 39 mm. Some of the complications encountered were poor scar, wisdom tooth traumatising the flap, decreased mouth opening due to non compliance and too much bulk. All of theses were managed satisfactorily. Conclusion: The nasolabial flap is a very reliable flap to restore the function of oral cavity. Important adjuvant measures are habit cessation, lifestyle changes, and aggressive physiotherapy.

Implant material, implant design, surface quality, status of the bone, surgical technique, and implant loading conditions were regarded as prerequisites for osseointegration which is a prime condition for implant success. The aim of this review paper was to investigate the survival rate of single implants in relation to the prerequisites for osseointegration. Fifty-eight papers reporting survival rates of single implants were selected by use of the 'PubMed' and hand searching. The survival rate of single implants were assessed with reference to factors influencing osseointegration. The results showed that single implants in general showed a high survival rate except a few failures in certain extreme conditions and early stages. Those failures and complications such as screw loosening and esthetic problem were almost solved with the development of implant components and surgical techniques and a better understanding of biology around a single implant. Single-tooth implant-replacement is now considered as a reliable and predictable treatment option for a single missing tooth and its application seems to expand to compromised situations which were previously thought to be impossible for single implant therapy.

앞 턱 부위가 짧고 후방으로 위치해 있을 때 턱의 높이를 증가시키고 전방으로 돌출시키는 축조 이부성형술의 방법으로는, 매식체 삽입술, 골 절단술, 골 절제술 또는 이들을 동시에 시행하는 혼합술등이 행해져 왔다. 그러나 매식체 삽입술에서는 감염 또는 매식체의 유동성 등의 합병증의 발병이 빈발하고 매식체의 밑 부위에 골이 흡수된다든지 연조직의 변화를 예측하기 어렵다든지 하는 복잡한 문제점들이 종종 보고되고 있다. 따라서 매식체를 이용하지 않는 골 절단술이나 골 절제술만을 이용한 다양한 방법의 이부성형술이 많이 시행되고 있다. 하악골이 전후방 관계로 발육부전인 환자에게 양측 하악지 시상분할술을 시행하여 전방 이동시킨 후 앞 턱의 위치를 좀더 개선하기 위하여 $Michel{\'{e}}t$ 테크닉의 변형법을 이용한 이부성형술을 추가로 시행하였다. 이 방법의 이부성형술은 턱의 수직적, 수평적 길이를 증가시키기 위하여 하악결합면 부위에 장부와 장붓구멍 모양을 한 골 절단술을 시행하고 광범위한 연조직경을 보존하여 골편으로의 혈류 차단을 최소화하였으며 나사를 이용한 견고한 고정을 용이하게 하였다. 이 술식은 턱을 수직적으로 증가시킬 때 두 골편 사이의 공간에 골 이식을 시행할 필요가 없으며, 금속판을 이용하지 않아도 정확한 위치에 골편을 고정하기가 용이하고, 또한 고정용 나사가 향후 골형성 부위에 위치하게 된다는 장점을 경험하게 되어 이에 한 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

고정성 보철물의 변연 적합도가 낮은 경우 치태침착, 치주질환, 치아과민, 보철물 구성요소 파절, 시멘트 상실 등의 생물학적, 기계적 합병증이 발생할 가능성이 증가할 수 있다. 이러한 합병증은 보철물의 장기간의 성공과 생존에 영향을 미친다. 본 증례는 임플란트 지지 나사-시멘트 유지형 보철물에서 보철물 장착 시 보철물-지대주를 제거하고 변연부를 연마하여 변연간극을 최소화할 수 있는 임상과정을 보여준다. 그리고 변연 간극을 연마 전과 후에 측정하여 비교 관찰하였다. 본 기술은 변연 적합도를 높여 보철물의 수명 연장에 기여할 수 있다.
