최근의 근관치료학 분야에서 외과적 재치료는 수술현미경, 초음파기구, 미세수술기구 등의 도입으로 많은 변화가 있어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 전통적인 치근단 수술법과 비교하여 미세 치근단 수술의 주요 술식을 알아보고 이미 출간된 논문에 근거하여 미세 치근단 수술의 성공과 실패 그리고 성공과 실패에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 고찰하고자 하였다. 수술현미경은 수술부위를 밝게 확대해서 봄으로써 치근단 부위의 미세한 형태를 조명할 수 있게 되었으며 이는 술식의 성공을 위해서 필수적인 요소가 되었다. 초음파 기구 또한 치근단 역충전을 위한 정확한 와동형성을 가능하게 해 주었다. 따라서 미세 치근단 수술은 기존방식의 문제점이었던 많은 골삭제, 경사진 치근절제, 부정확한 역충전 와동 형성, 치근단 미세구조 관찰의 어려움 등을 극복함으로써 술식이 더욱 정확해지고, 성공가능성이 더 높아졌다고 볼 수 있다. 미세 치근단 수술에 영향을 미치는 요소에는 다양한 요인들이 존재할 수 있으나 전통방식의 치근단 수술보다 술식이 표준화 됨으로써 술식에 의한 영향을 줄일 수 있다. 환자와 치아에 관계되는 요소 중에서는 치주질환의 이환 여부와 치아위치(tooth position)가 예후에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이에 대한 연구는 아직까지 그 수가 부족한 상태로 앞으로 검증수준 (evidence level)이 높은 Randomized clinical trial 혹은 전향적 코호트 연구가 많이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Paresthesia is an altered sensation of the skin, manifesting as numbness, partial loss of local sensitivity, burning, or tingling. The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is the third branch of the trigeminal nerve and is very important in dental treatment. IAN paresthesia may occur after various dental procedures such as simple anesthetic injections, surgical procedures, and endodontic treatment, and is reported to range from 0.35% to 8.4%. The altered sensation usually follows immediately after the procedure, and reports of late onset of nerve involvement are rare. This report presents a rare case of delayed paresthesia after dental surgery and discusses the pathophysiology of IAN delayed paresthesia.

Objectives: This study assessed the shape and anatomical relationship of the mental foramen (MF) to mandibular posterior teeth in an Indian sub-population. Materials and Methods: In total, 475 existing cone-beam computed tomography records exhibiting 950 MFs and including the bilateral presence of mandibular premolars and first molars were assessed. Images were evaluated 3-dimensionally to ascertain the position, shape, and anatomical proximity of MFs to mandibular teeth. The position and shape of MFs were measured and calculated. The Pythagorean theorem was used to calculate the distance between the root apex of the mandibular teeth and the MF. Results: MFs exhibited a predominantly round shape (left: 67% and right: 65%) followed by oval (left: 30% and right: 31%) in both males and females and in different age groups. The root apices of mandibular second premolars (left: 71% and right: 62%) were closest to the MF, followed by distal to the first premolars and mesial to the second premolars. The mean vertical distance between the MF and the nearest tooth apex calculated on sagittal sections was 2.20 mm on the right side and 2.32 mm on the left side; no significant difference was found according to sex or age. The distance between the apices of the teeth and the MF was ≥ 4 mm (left; 4.09 ± 1.27 mm and right; 4.01 ± 1.15 mm). Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for clinicians to be aware of the location of the MF in treatment planning and while performing non-surgical and surgical endodontic procedures.

치내치를 동반한 미성숙 영구치의 근관치료를 성공적으로 수행하는 것은 치과의사에게 어려운 과제이다. 복잡한 형태의 근관계는 근관 내부를 효과적으로 성형, 멸균, 충전하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 포괄적이고 철저한 치료계획을 수립하는 것이 중요하다. 본 증례는 치내치를 동반한 감염된 미성숙 영구치를 가진 두명의 환자에게 재생형 근관치료를 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다. 감염된 괴사치수와 각각 Oehlers type I, type III 치내치를 포함하는 두개의 미성숙 상악 측절치에 재생형 근관치료가 시행되었다. 특히 Type III 치내치의 근관치료는 보다 효과적인 감염조절과 근관 충전을 위해 복잡한 근관 내부 구조를 재형성하는 드문 접근법을 이용하였다. 이 때, Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)와 미세 수술 현미경의 사용은 근관 내부의 시각화 및 치료에 도움이 되었다. 결과적으로, 복잡한 형태의 치내치를 포함하는 미성숙 영구치의 재생형 근관치료는 임상적, 방사선학적 치유 뿐만 아니라 치근 상아질 벽의 두께 증가를 가능하게하는 효과적인 치료 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of different intracanal medicaments on chemical structure and microhardness of dentin. Materials and Methods: Fifty human dentin discs were obtained from intact third molars and randomly assigned into two control groups and three treatment groups. The first control group received no treatment. The second control group (no medicament group) was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), stored in humid environment for four weeks and then irrigated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The three treatment groups were irrigated with NaOCl, treated for four weeks with either 1 g/mL triple antibiotic paste (TAP), 1 mg/mL methylcellulose-based triple antibiotic paste (DTAP), or calcium hydroxide [$Ca(OH)_2$] and finally irrigated with EDTA. After treatment, one half of each dentin disc was subjected to Vickers microhardness (n = 10 per group) and the other half was used to evaluate the chemical structure (phosphate/amide I ratio) of treated dentin utilizing attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (n = 5 per group). One-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's least significant difference were used for statistical analyses. Results: Dentin discs treated with different intracanal medicaments and those treated with NaOCl + EDTA showed significant reduction in microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.05) compared to no treatment control dentin. Furthermore, dentin discs treated with TAP had significantly lower microhardness (p < 0.0001) and phosphate/amide I ratio (p < 0.0001) compared to all other groups. Conclusions: The use of DTAP or $Ca(OH)_2$ medicaments during endodontic regeneration may cause significantly less microhardness reduction and superficial demineralization of dentin compared to the use of TAP.

Despite considerable focus on the regenerative endodontic treatment of immature teeth with necrotic infected pulps and apical periodontitis, little data exist with regard to its possible implementation in necrotic permanent teeth with complete apical and radicular development. The present report describes the procedures and outcome of a regenerative endodontic treatment approach in 2 previously-traumatized incisors with closed apex with apical periodontitis. A 2-visit treatment procedure was employed. At initial visit, the root canals were copiously irrigated, followed by placement of a triple antibiotic paste containing ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and clindamycin into the root canals. After 4 weeks, the antibiotic paste was removed, and apical bleeding was initiated with size 10 hand files beyond the apices. The root canals were coronally sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate, and the access cavities were restored with bonded resin composite. At post-operative 60 months, both teeth were remained asymptomatic, with the recall radiographs showing complete resolution of apical radiolucency and reestablishment of periradicular tissues. In both teeth, the dimensions of root space remained unchanged as verified by image analysis. The revitalization protocol utilizing root canal disinfection and induced apical bleeding in necrotic, closed-apex incisors may offer a clinically acceptable alternative to conventional root canal treatment.

This study describes the clinical steps taken in the treatment of a patient who had an avulsed right upper central incisor that presented with incomplete root development and chronic apical periodontitis. A 7-year-old boy was referred from a private dentist to a dental office specializing in endodontics. The tooth had remained in a dry environment for 20 minutes, and tooth replantation was performed at an emergency appointment. After clinical and radiographic examinations, root canal decontamination was performed, followed by several changes in intracanal calcium hydroxide medication. Blood clot formation was attempted, but bleeding within the root canal was insufficient; therefore, we opted for an intracanal medication change to stimulate mineralized tissue formation in the apical region. Root obturation was performed 45 days after the last change of intracanal medication, and clinical, radiographic, and tomographic follow-up examinations were performed at 3, 6, 18, and 40 months after the endodontic intervention. The increase in thickness and length of the root structure and the absence of root resorption were verified through follow-up examinations. Therefore, it was concluded that the procedures used were successful for tooth replantation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic changes and the survival rate after periodontal surgery using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) with 10% collagen or DBBM with a collagen membrane in endo-periodontal lesions. Methods: A total of 52 cases (41 patients) with at least 5 years of follow-up were included in this study. After scaling and root planing with or without endodontic treatment, periodontal regenerative procedures with DBBM with 10% collagen alone or DBBM with a collagen membrane were performed, yielding the DBBM + 10% collagen and DBBM + collagen membrane groups, respectively. Changes in clinical parameters including the plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, gingival recession, relative clinical attachment level, mobility, and radiographic bone gains were evaluated immediately before periodontal surgical procedures and at a 12-month follow-up. Results: At the 12-month follow-up after regenerative procedures, improvements in clinical parameters and radiographic bone gains were observed in both treatment groups. The DBBM + 10% collagen group showed greater probing pocket depth reduction ($4.52{\pm}1.06mm$) than the DBBM + collagen membrane group ($4.04{\pm}0.82mm$). However, there were no significant differences between the groups. Additionally, the radiographic bone gain in the DBBM + 10% collagen group ($5.15{\pm}1.54mm$) was comparable to that of the DBBM + collagen membrane group ($5.35{\pm}1.84mm$). The 5-year survival rate of the teeth with endo-periodontal lesions after periodontal regenerative procedures was 92.31%. Conclusions: This study showed that regenerative procedures using DBBM with 10% collagen alone improved the clinical attachment level and radiographic bone level in endo-periodontal lesions. Successful maintenance of the results after regenerative procedures in endo-periodontal lesions can be obtained by repeated oral hygiene education within strict supportive periodontal treatment.
