The author made two implant blades of gold alloy metal, and applied CEKA attachment to one blade. These two blades were implanted at the sockets resulting from removal of both 3rd premolar of experimental dog. Simple crown and tooth supporting denture was constructed on the implanted blades the author observed above mentioned procedures for 8 weeks. The obtained results were as follows; 1) There is no remarkable necrosis of supporting alveolar bone on both sides So, metal reaction was favourable. 2) Masticatory force which is loaded on each tooth was not effective on the alveolar bone.

A 1-year-old, castrated male Yorkshire terrier (case 1) and a 7-year-old female Poodle (case 2) presented with delayed union fractures. In case 1, the dog had a fractured right distal radius and ulna. In case 2, the dog had a fractured left distal tibia and fibula. A physical examination and radiographs performed in both dogs revealed delayed union fractures with large gaps. The fracture sites were fixed by bone plate and screws. Autogenous cancellous bone graft was applied into the fracture gap. To encourage rapid bone union, we used matrigel containing $20{\mu}g$ of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in the fracture site. Radiographs were taken postoperatively to monitor healing. Rapid bone union was noted in both dogs in long-term radiographs. In case 1, the radiographs revealed that the fracture gaps of the radius and ulna were bridged at 2 weeks. Fracture lines were not observed and normal appearance was restored at 20 weeks. In case 2, the radiographs showed that fracture repair had progressed at 11 weeks. The fractures healed faster than expected in these two cases. The results indicate that rhBMP-2 and matrigel may be effective and useful materials to enhance healing of delayed fractures.

Even if we can recover the function of mastication, pronunciation and esthetic using the fixed or removable prosthesis in the loss of teeth or hard tissue in the oral cavity, we use several kinds of implants in order to solve the problem which can be occured when we can't install the denture because of excessive bone resolution or psychlogical affairs. At present Titanium implant plays a major role in this field and has osseointegrated. And the study on the modern material is going on, that result in developing and using the implant which is coated with HA, bone induced material. In this, I studied histologically the change of the bone tissue which is occured when three kinds of HA coated implants. Such as Integral, Sustain, Biovent implanted into mandible of dog and got a 8-weeks healing period. I got the conclusion as follows: 1. Most of the implant which is covered with serveral kinds of HA coating implant in bone after 8 weeks being implanted and has osseointegrated, partially converted into the connective tissue. 2. Biovent formed the connective tissue in the perforated area of inferior alveolar canal and has osseointegrated.

Objectives: This study compared the impact of implant surface treatment on the stability and osseointegration of implants in dog mandibles. Materials and Methods: Six adult dogs received a total of 48 implants that were prepared using four different surface treatments; resorbable blast media (RBM), hydroxyapatite (HA), hydrothermal-treated HA, and sand blasting and acid etching (SLA). Implants were installed, and dogs were separated into 2- and 4-week groups. Implant stability was evaluated via Periotest M, Osstell Mentor, and removal torque analyzers. A histomorphometric analysis was also performed. Results: The stability evaluation showed that all groups generally had satisfactory values. The histomorphometric evaluation via a light microscope revealed that the HA surface implant group had the highest ratio of new bone formation on the entire fixture. The hydrothermal-treated HA surface implant group showed a high ratio of bone-to-implant contact in the upper half of the implant area. Conclusion: The hydrothermal-treated HA implant improved the bone-to-implant contact ratio on the upper fixture, which increased the implant stability.

This study is conducted to compare ultrasonographs with plain radiographs in monitoring bone regeneration during reconstruction of critical sized radial defects in dogs. A 15 mm bony defect was taken on each of the eight dog's radius using an electrical saw and an external fixator was applied. The experimental groups were divided into non-treated group(group 1) and $Osteoset^{(R)}$-treated group(group 2). Each fracture site was evaluated using plain radiography and ultrasonography. Radiographic callus formation occurred after $11.50{\pm}1.12$ days in group 1 and $11.50{\pm}0.5$ days in group 2. Neovascularized flow signal could be seen $6.50{\pm}1.5$ days and the vascular signal disappeared after $45.00{\pm}6.16$ days after operation in group 1. Neovascularized flow signal was observed $6.75{\pm}1.78$ days and vascular signal disappeared $23.25{\pm}3.03$ days after surgery which was caused by acoustic shadowing in group 2. Early stages of regeneration were observed more clearly with color Doppler ultrasonography than with plain radiography. Also from the results it is concluded that color Doppler ultrasonography are useful in observing initial stages of bone repair.

A three-week old female Chihuahua dog weighing 80 g was presented with the absence of skull palpation, suckling disability, and growth retardation. Physical examination revealed asymmetry of the lips slanting to the left side when feeding milk. Also there were head tilt to the left side and corneal ulcer of the left eye. The absence of the frontal and parietal bones were shown on radiographs. Lateral ventricular enlargement was identified on the ultrasonographic examination. On computed tomographs, frontal and parietal bone defect, ventricle enlargement, and intracranial arachnoid cyst were observed. The dog was dead after 1 day of presentation. The dog was diagnosed as the primary acalvaria by necropsy.

A sexually intact female Alaskan Malamute, 5-year-old weighing 25.2 kg presented to the Hangang Animal Hospital, following hit-by-car. On initial presentation, the dog had severe salivation and the right canine tooth luxation. Radiographs revealed fractures of the right rostral hemimandible with the right canine tooth luxation and symphyseal separation. Surgical repair of fractures was performed by use of an interdental wiring technique and external fixation technique that included pins, an acrylic connecting bar, and polymethyl methacrylate bone cement. Post-operative radiographs revealed that bridging callus was well formed over cortices of the fracture area. Pins and an acrylic connecting bar were removed 7 weeks post-operatively. The dog exhibited evidence of normal mastication.

A 7-year-old, intact female Korean Jindo dog was referred due to ataxia and pain on palpation of the thorax. Radiograph, echocardiography and computed tomogram revealed a mass on the heart base region and osteolytic change of fifth thoracic (T5) vertebra. At necropsy, a firm, encapsulated and round mass was seen arising from the heart base region surrounding the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery. Histopathologically, nests of cuboidal and polyhedral cells having abundantly granular and eosinophilic cytoplasm with round to oval nucleus were separated by fibrous septa. Immunohistochemistry using chromogranin A revealed that tumor cells were originated from neuroendocrine organ and metastasized into some organs including lung, spleen, liver, kidney and T5 vertebra. By electron microscopy, we found the electron-dense and membrane-bound granules in cytoplasm of the tumor cells. This study provides the uncommon evidence that aortic body tumor metastasized to both multiple organs and bone.

This study was performed to determine the toxic effect of DA-3030(granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, G-CSF) in beagle dogs. DA-3030(G-CSF) was injected intravenously at doses of 115 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day, 11.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day and 1.15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day seven days per week for 28 days. After completion of the treatments, the dog were necropsied. The number of dead animal was zero in all groups. No specific clinical sign was found, either. In hematological results, WBC was significantly increased dose-dependently in treated groups. In histopathological findings, megakaryocyte and rubricyte were found in the liver and spleen at the dose of 115 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day. Therefore, we could find the extramedullary hematopoiesis was increased. Megaka yocyte and rubricyte were increased in bone marrow, too. In conclusion, those signs were estimated the pharmacological effect of DA-3030(G-CSF). According to the results, non toxic dose of DA-3030(G-CSF) was higher than 115 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day.

A dog (Chihuahua, 2-year-old, intact female) was referred to us because of cluster seizure. She had history of falling from height few days before presentation. Brain computed tomography (CT) results demonstrated fracture line on right temporal bone and hypodense, edematous changes of the adjacent brain parenchyma on right cerebral parenchyma. Based on history, clinical signs, and diagnostic imaging findings, this patient was diagnosed to traumatic brain injury. After diagnosis, the patient was well controlled with anti-inflammatory drug and anti-epileptic drugs. When 30, 480, and 1260 days after initial brain CT examination, we performed serial brain CT rechecks. This case report describes serial clinical and brain CT findings after traumatic brain injury.
