The purpose of the pulp treatment is to make the function of the primary molar in the oral cavity possible for as long as possible until the exfoliation of the tooth or the development of the occlusion is as long as possible. The pulpectomy is a relatively common procedure for the pediatric dentist in the clinic with dental care of the children nowadays. Primary molar is morphologically more susceptible to dental caries than permanent tooth, and the dental pulp treatment is frequently performed. Furthermore, unlike permanent teeth, the root canal has a large degree of curvature and morphological diversity and complexity, careful consideration is needed. Therefore, it is very important to comprehensively understand the morphological characteristics and diversity of the root and root canals for the successful pulp treatment of the primary molars.

Pregnancy induces significant anatomical and physiological changes in the mother. Many pregnant women need dental treatment due to poor oral hygiene related to pregnancy. However, most dentists are reluctant to provide, and most pregnant women are reluctant to receive, dental treatment during pregnancy. Theoretically, maternally administered drugs are transferred to the fetus. Depending on the types of drugs and the stage of pregnancy, the effects of drugs on the mother, as well as the fetus, may vary. Local anesthetics are the most widely used in dental treatment. It is, therefore, important to understand the potential effects of local anesthetics during pregnancy. In this review, we will focus on the maternal and fetal effects of local anesthetics widely used in dental treatment with consideration of the use of local anesthetics during pregnancy.

This article discusses how to conduct treatment planning and decision making in special needs dentistry. Special needs patients often lack cooperative ability during dental treatment and have a deteriorated oral health status. To overcome the limitation in communication with special needs patients and solve their complicated dental problems, dentists need to have extensive preoperative information about the patients and their caregivers. Treatment procedures should be organized in a patient-centered and cost-effective manner. Additionally, clinical outcomes need to be predicted taking into consideration of the patients' condition. The clinical experience of committed dentists is another factor that enhances the benefits of extensive treatment in special needs patients with many limitations. The insightful treatment decision-making of dentists will contribute to improving the oral health of special needs patients despite the various obstacles.

Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by qualitative abnormalities in reciprocal social interactions and patterns of communication. Patients with autism are difficult to manage during dental treatment. Thus they need special consideration like physical restraint, conscious sedation or general anesthesia. A 5-year-old male dental patient with autism was reffered to dental treatment under conscious sedation using intramuscular midazolam that creats anterograde amnesia. Dental procedure using midazolm which cause anterograde amnesia can be effective treatment strategy in autism patient.

본 연구는 고등학생을 대상으로 치과위생사에 대한 이미지와 치위생직 고려의사를 파악하기 위해 광주지역의 인문계 고등학교에 재학 중인 학생 199명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 치과위생사에 대한 이미지는 전체평균 3.36점이었고, 영역별 평균은 개인적 이미지가 3.64점, 직업적 이미지가 3.47점, 업무적 이미지가 3.42점, 사회적 이미지가 2.83점 순이었다. 고등학생의 일반적인 특성과 치과위생사의 이미지를 분석한 결과, 가족 중 치과종사자가 있고, 치과 치료경험이 1년 미만일 경우, 치위생직에 대한 소개나 설명을 들은 경우, 진료 장소가 종합(대학)병원일 경우 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.01, p<0.05). 진로선택 시 치위생직을 고려하겠다고 응답한 경우가 9.0%로 대부분이 고려하지 않겠다고 응답하였으며, 치위생직을 고려하겠다고 응답한 경우 업무적, 사회적 이미지가 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 치과위생사 이미지의 요인 간의 상관관계에서 직업적 이미지와 업무적 이미지(r=0.551, p<0.001), 개인적 이미지와 직업적 이미지(r=0.526, p<0.001), 사회적 이미지와 직업적 이미지(r=0.222, p<0.01), 업무적 이미지와 개인적 이미지(r=0.655, p<0.001), 업무적 이미지와 사회적 이미지(r=0.140, p<0.05)는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과는 고등학생의 치과위생사에 대한 이미지는 다소 긍정적이었으나, 사회적 이미지가 낮은 편이었으며, 대부분의 학생이 치위생직을 고려하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 치과위생사에 대한 적극적인 홍보와 소개로 치과위생사에 대해 긍정적으로 인식할 수 있도록 하는 구체적인 방안이 필요하다고 생각된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the regional difference of chronic periodontal care services in Korea by the analysis of 2010 raw data from Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Methods: The subjects were the chronic periodontitis patients over 35 years old from dental care facilities in Korea. The study population was 278,319 including 264,994 claims made by dental clinics, 8,084 by dental hospitals, 3,509 by general hospitals, and 1,732 by tertiary hospitals. Results: There was a significant difference in medical care cost benefit between the provinces(p<0.0001). The age groups showed a clear difference in the patient charge, cost of insurance, and medical care cost benefit(p<0.0001). In consideration of the first visit or revisit, there were differences in the rate of prescription, dental examination, and surgical procedures of the chronic periodontal patients from dental facilities. The radiographic use rate in the tertiary hospitals was 2.6 times higher than that of the dental clinic in the treatment of the new chronic periodontal patients. Conclusions: The use of dental services in the periodontitis is influenced by the types of medical services facility, cost of medical insurance, and patient charge. In consideration of cost benefit analysis, prevention is the most important care for the periodontitis. Regional difference in peridontitis is cause by the use of medical services and quality of treatment.
