Background: Dental hygienists study dental radiology through the dental hygiene department and curriculum, and most of the radiography work in dental clinics is performed by dental hygienists; however, the legal work regulations for dental hygienists place restrictions on the type of radiography performed. This study aimed to identify the actual conditions of the radiographic work performed by dental hygienists and to determine the difference according to the type of hospital. Methods: This study included 195 dental hygienists working at dental medical institutions in the metropolitan area. A survey was conducted on regarding the radiographic work performed and the clinical career of the main performers. The radiography work was divided into periapical radiography, bite-wing radiography, occlusal radiography, panoramic radiography, computed tomography (CT), and cephalometric radiography. Results: The frequency of performing intraoral radiography was as follows: periapical radiography, 94.9%; bite-wing radiography, 93.8%; and occlusal radiography, 77.9%. The frequency of performing extraoral radiography was 94.4% for panoramic radiography, 89.7% for CT, and 73.3% for cephalometric radiography. The frequency of internal and external radiography performance was higher among hygienists in dental clinics than among those in dental hospitals and university hospitals. The analysis of the dental hygienists' clinical experience in the areas of intraoral and extraoral radiography showed that those working at university hospitals, dental hospitals, and dental clinics had over 5 years, 2~4 years, and 1 year of clinical experience, respectively. The hygienists with less than 1 year of clinical experience showed high performance frequency (p<0.05). Conclusion: For the dental hygienists to perform radiography safely, a discussion regarding the revision of related laws and regulations is warranted.

The Sialolithiasis is one of the most common disease that is found in the submandibular gland and they can be usually observed in the extra glandular area. As the lumen of Wharton's duct is larger and more expandable than that of Stensen's duct, the symptom of them is initially painless. As increasing their size, the sign and symptom are pain and sudden enlargement of gland. It can be observed with clinical exam and the scintigraphy. After removal of sialoliths, the majority of them can get the recovery of function. Our department performed the transoral sialolithotomy and the extraoral sialoadenectomy for three patients of sialolithiasis and all of them showed no complication after operation.

Transbuccal trocar has been an established method of fixation for the bone plate in the case of mandibular angle fracture. Other than extraoral approaches, this transbuccal approach has many advantages in the treatment of the fracture of mandibular angle. These advantages are as follows ; (1) Damage to the facial nerve branches is minimal. (2) Less postoperative scar is formed. (3) Good vision of occlusion can be easily obtained on the entire operation. (4) Shorter operation time is needed. But, in the clinical procedure of plate fixation, it is has a difficulty in manipulation of the plate and correction of position. To solve these problems, we designed and used a trocar tip which can be easily attached to the trocar, and could make an improvement in the clinical procedures.

The sialolithiasis is one of the most common disease that is found in the submandibular gland and they can be usually observed in the extra glandular area. As the lumen of Wharton's duct is larger and more expandable than that of Stensen's duct, the symptom of them is initially painless. Obstruction of salivary secretion by a sialolith can result in sudden swelling and pain, as well as infection of the gland. It can be observed with clinical exam and the scintigraphy. After removal of sialoliths, the majority of them can get the recovery of function. Our department performed the transoral sialolithotomy. One of three cases was recurred sialolithiasis with sialadenitis and was performed by the re-sialolithotomy and extraoral sialoadenectomy.

Face mask is an extraoral appliance which used to protract maxilla, and can help in the correction of moderately severe class IlI malocclusions by the anterior displacement of the maxilla and maxillary dentition, and possibly restricting or changing the direction of the growth of the mandible. In three cases the results were followed. 1. Anterior crossbite was corrected 2. Maxilla & maxillary dentition were displaced forwardly. 3. Lingual tipping of the mandibular incisors, and backward & downward rotation of mandible were performed. 4. Acceptable improvement in the class III profile was performed.

This is to report functional treatment, as mechano-therapy, of condylar fracture in cases of growing patients. Benoist's appliance was used in 3 cases condylar fractures, provides extraoral elastic forces to external pterygoid muscle. The appliance providing guided exercise of masticatory muscles induces transformative growth of trauma-tic condyles. The results were as follow; 1. Early exercise preventes ankylosis of fractured condyle. 2. Optimal physical exercise therapy induces the normal growth pattern by muscular training and bony remodeling of fractured condyle in children.

An ameloblastoma produces more extensive resorption of the teeth on which it encroaches than do most of the other lesions. In this study, intraoral and extraoral radiographs of 78 cases of ameloblastoma were observed and the root resorption associated with ameloblastoma was classified into four types of resorption. With these, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. The root resorption was observed in 72 cases of ameloblastoma. (92.3%) 2. In the aspect of resorptive changes of 424 roots observed, 342 roots showed smooth resorption. (80.6%) 3. The 424 roots associated with ameloblastoma revealed the following radiographic features. a) Root apex resorption in contact with the lesion appeared in 189 roots. (44.5%) b) The resorption of roots projected into the lesion appeared in 147 roots. (34.6%) c) Slight resorption of root surface in contact with the lesion was observed in 56 roots. (13.2%) d) Loss of lamina dura and periodontal space without root resorption were observed in 32 roots. (7.7%)

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare, autosomal dominant congenital disorder. A 12-year old female visited with chief complaint of unerupted permanent teeth. Also her father showed severe class III malocclusion. The extraoral radiography and computed tomography showed delayed closure of the cranial sutures and underdevelopment of maxilla, maxillary sinuses, and frontal sinus. Both clavicles were underdeveloped and thoracic rib cage was bell­shaped. Both zygomatic process appeared as hypoplastic feature. There were many unerupted permanent and supernumerary teeth in the maxilla and mandible. We examined location and number of the unerupted teeth using 3D CT. Finally we could conclude this case was cleidocranial dysplasia based on the clinico-radiologic findings.

Esthetic restoration techniques can be categorized into "Direct techniques" consist only of intraoral procedures and "Indirect techniques" include intraoral as well as extraoral laboratory steps. Those made extraorally exhibit generally enhanced esthetic potential and anatomy and better hardness and wear resistance, indirect esthetic restorations numerously applied in contemporary dentistry. Indirect restorative materials can be divided into two categories; composite resin-based materials and ceramic-based materials. These materials shows various were resistance, modulus of elasticity, repair postenital, chemical stability, and different laboratory procedures. In this session, benefit of indirect techinques, case selection of this kind of restorations, and material characteristics and fabrication produre of those materials will ber reviewed; Targis, Sculpture, Belleglass, and Post-curing of restorative composite resins in resin-based materials; Dicor, Empress, Cerec, Celay, and conventional firing porcelain in ceramic based materials.
