Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) with gingival recession require specific consideration on both aspects of hard and soft tissue lesion. In the restorative aspect, careful finishing and polishing of the restorations prior to mucogingival surgery is the critical factor contributing to success. Regarding surgery, assessment of the configuration of the lesion and the choice of surgical technique are important factors. The precise diagnosis and the choice of the proper treatment procedure should be made on the basis of both restorative and surgical considerations to ensure the successful treatment of NCCLs.

Orthodontists, in evaluating maxillary impactd canines, must take into consideration the etiology of the problem. First, the possible etiologic factors must be eliminated. Thus some cases can be treated with orthodontic treatment alone without surgical trauma following window opening etc. Now, two cases are reported, which were treated without surgical intervention. Sometimes, impacted canine can be included in a plan for tooth removal due to its severe impaction and displacement. In such case, first premolar can be substituted for canine. One case which was treated by substituting maxillary first premolar for maxillary impacted canine is reported.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine factors affecting the effective demand of workers for dental treatment in a bid to provide some information on the improvement of oral health. Methods : The subjects in this study were 255 workers who were engaged in the pharmaceutical industry. A self-administered survey was conducted, and the collected data were analyzed by a spss(statistical package for the social science) win 12.0 program to find out their demographic characteristics, oral health awareness, oral health behavior and factors for the choice of a dental institution. Results : 1. Concerning the level of oral health awareness, 47.0 percent were at a low level(0 to three scores), and 35.2 percent were at an intermediate level(four to six scores). 2. As to oral health behavior involving a daily mean toothbrushing frequency, they brushed their teeth 2.65 times per day on the average. The most widely utilized oral hygiene supply was mouth rinse. Regarding oral health status, 53.7 percent weren't in good dental health, and just 23.0 percent got a dental checkup on a regular basis. 45.8 percent of those who didn't get a dental checkup cited time constraints as the reason. 26.0 percent received oral health education, and 91.4 percent were aware of the necessity of a corporate incremental dental care system. 3. Marital status, age and the reliability of dental institutions made differences to their choice of a dental institution. 4. As for the relationship between oral health awareness and the factors for the choice of a dental institution, oral health awareness had a statistically significant positive correlation to the reliability of dental institutions. Conclusions : The above-mentioned findings suggest that oral health education enables workers to have a correct knowledge on oral health, to change their own oral health behavior and to make the right choice of a dental institution in consideration of their oral characteristics. They should be urged to get a regular dental checkup not to develop chronic oral diseases so that they couldn't have to receive first-aid dental treatment. To promote the oral health of workers, oral health care personnels available should be utilized, and the incremental dental care system should be more vitalized to cut down on their effective demand for dental treatment.

혈우병은 성염색체 열성 유전양식에 따라 유전되는 출혈성 질환으로서 응고인자의 결핍이나 결손에 의해 혈액응고 시간이 지연되게 된다. 과거에는 혈우병 환자의 치과치료시 과다출혈의 위험성 때문에 치과시술을 위해서는 입원하여 내과 전문의나 혈액 전문의가 출혈을 조절하도록 하여 치료하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 여겨졌으나, 최근의 혈액응고기전에 대한 이해와 의료기술 발전에 의해 출혈을 좀더 효과적으로 조절할 수 있게 되었다. 본과에 내원한 혈우병 B, 중증과 혈우병 A, 중증에 해당하는 환아에서의 관혈적인 치과치료를 시행하여 각각의 과정 및 치료원칙에 관하여 다음과 같이 보고하는 바이다. 1 혈우병 환자의 치료시에는 반드시 환자의 내과 소아과 또는 혈액 전문의와 상의하여 긴밀한 협조하에 치과 치료를 시행하도록 한다. 2. 환자의 치료방법은 환자의 전신상태와 협조도 및, 필요한 시술의 위험성 정도에 따라 결정하도록 한다. 3. 치과치료의 전과 후에 혈액응고인자의 투여 등으로 발생하는 불편과 합병증의 기회를 최소로 하기 위해 치료를 위한 내원 횟수를 가능한 한 줄여주는 것이 바람직하며, 치료 시에는 감염을 예방하고 지혈을 도울 수 있는 치료를 시행해야 한다.

The aim of this study was to determine the factors contributing to the barrier of dental treatment for special needs patients perceived by the main caregivers of the patients. A questionnaire was developed with three parts: patient-related factors, caregiver-related factors, and factors for treatment barriers. Patient- and caregiver-related factors were analyzed for correlations with the barrier factors. Fisher's exact test and Chi-square test were used at the level of 0.05. A total of 52 caregivers (mean age [SD]=50.2 [11.5] years) for the patients with intellectual and cognitive disabilities (mean age [SD]=38.9 [21.3]) responded to the questionnaires. Oral hygiene status, need for assistance in tooth brushing, and cooperation for tooth brushing were correlated with the level of treatment cooperation of the patients (p<0.05). The above three factors were also correlated with the treatment barrier despite patients presenting oral symptoms (p<0.05). Two thirds of the caregivers felt the treatment cost as severe or a considerable financial burden. For patients, insurance types and need for assistance in tooth brushing, and for caregivers, education levels and financial status were significant factors contributing to financial burden (p<0.05). There were background factors of the patients and their caregivers associated with access to dental treatment for special needs patients. Deficient cooperative skills and financial burdens were the main obstacles to treatment access. Tooth brushing skills and oral hygiene status can be proxy measures to cooperative ability for dental treatment.

Occasionally, complete dentures constructed in accord with the best clinical and laboratory procedures fail to serve successfully. These failures probably result from present ignorance of the occlusion and functions of living tissues. Nonetheless, in each case, the whole treatment procedure, both clinical and laboratory, must be reexamined in order to ascertain the point of failure. One can employ a technique more intelligently, and often improve on it, if the reasons for its use are known. When one is guided only by a recipe, the outcome will be doubtful whenever conditions are not the same as in the recipe. In this manuscript, occlusal consideration of edentulous patients will be discussed thoroughly.

Background: The major goal of dental management before and after liver transplantation is the prevention of bacteremia from an oral source that could lead to systemic infection. However dental treatment in liver transplant patients have the risk of infection and bleeding. so it is needed special dental consideration. Methods: 42 liver transplant candidates who visited department of Advanced General Dentistry in Yonsei University College of dentistry from March 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012 were selected. The clinical data of those patients were analyzed; coagulation status such as PT, INR, aPTT, platelet count before and 6 months after liver transplantation, dental infectious foci, time interval between dental visit and operation date of liver transplantation. Results: Before liver transplant, the patient's PT and INR was prolonged, and the platelet count was lower than normal range. But 6 months later from liver transplantation, most of the figures turned into a normal range. The dental infection foci were chronic periodontitis, dental caries, chronic apical periodontitis, root rest et al but we did extraction of 6 root rest before liver transplantation and postponed other treatment after liver transplantation due to bleeding and infection risk of patients. Because of insufficient interval between dental visit and operation date, 64.3% of patients could not finish the dental treatment. Conclusions: The patients before liver transplantation have the risk of bleeding. The treatment of those patient should be removal of only factors that can cause dental infections after transplantation and other treatment must be postponed until the stable period of the transplant that patient's condition has improved.

Objectives: Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that affects smooth muscle tissue and it is very rare in the field of oral and maxillofcial surgery. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on diagnosis of and treatment methods for leiomyosarcoma by retrospectively reviewing of the cases. Patients and Methods: The study included nine patients who were diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. The subjects were analyzed with respect to sex, age, clinical features, primary site of disease, treatment method, recurrence, and metastasis. Results: Particular clinical features included pain, edema, mouth-opening limitations, dysesthesia, and enlarged lymph nodes. All cases except one were surgically treated, and recurrence was found in two cases. Four of nine patients were followed up without recurrence and one patient underwent additional surgery due to recurrence. Conclusion: In our case series, notable symptoms included pain, edema, mouth-opening limitations, and dysesthesia; however, it was difficult to label these as specific symptoms of leiomyosarcoma. Considering the aggressive characteristics of the disease and poor prognosis, surgical treatment is necessary with careful consideration of postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
