Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue treatment effects of nonextraction therapy using the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) to those of premolar extraction (PE) treatment in adult patients with Class II malocclusion. Methods: Pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalographs of 40 adult patients with Class II malocclusion were retrospectively analyzed. The MCPP group comprised 20 patients treated with total arch distalization of the maxillary arch while the PE group comprised 20 patients treated with four PE. Fifty-eight linear and angular measurements were analyzed to assess the changes before and after treatment. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and multivariate analysis of variance were performed to evaluate the treatment effects within and between the two groups. Results: The MCPP group presented 3.4 mm of retraction, 1.0 mm of extrusion, and $7.3^{\circ}$ lingual inclination of the maxillary central incisor. In comparison, the PE group displayed greater amount of maxillary central incisor retraction and retroclination, mandibular incisor retraction, and upper lip retraction (5.3 mm, $14.8^{\circ}$, 5.1 mm, and 2.0 mm, respectively; p < 0.001 for all). In addition, the MCPP group showed 4.0 mm of distalization and 1.3 mm of intrusion with $2.9^{\circ}$ distal tipping of the maxillary first molars. Conclusions: These findings suggest the MCPP is an effective distalization appliance in the maxillary arch. The amount of incisor retraction, however, was significantly higher in the PE group. Therefore, four PE may be recommended when greater improvement of incisor position and soft-tissue profile is required.

교합과 치주조직 건강과의 상관관계는 오랫동안 연구되어 오고 있고, 오늘날 까지도 여전히 논쟁의 여지가 있는 것이 사실이다. 적절한 교합적 처치가 비외과적 치주치료의 기본 단계임에는 의심의 여지가 없으나 교합을 조절하는 다양한 방법 중에 교합삭제를 동반한 의도적 수동 정출 (Intentional passive eruption)에 대한 보고는 매우 드물다. 이에 중등도 만성 치주염에 이환된 치아를 대상으로 교합면 삭제를 이용한 의도적 수동 정출을 시행하여 양호한 장기적 결과를 보이는 증례들에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 치주평가 후 골내결손을 동반한 중등도의 치주염으로 진단되어 치아동요도와 불편감을 호소하는 치아를 대상으로 하였다. 주기적인 교합면 삭제를 동반한 의도적 수동 정출과 스케일링과 치근활택술을 함께 시행하여 치주조직의 염증과 교합력을 적절히 조절함으로써 장기적으로 양호한 임상결과를 유지할 수 있었다.

Purpose: Various complications occur when a maxillofacial fracture is malunionized or improperly resolved. Malocclusion is the most common complication, followed by facial deformity, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and neurological symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental treatment of postoperative complications after maxillofacial fracture. Materials and methods: In this study, nine patients with a postoperative complication after maxillofacial fracture who had been performed the initial operation from other units and were referred to the authors' department had been included. Of the nine patients, six had mandibular fractures, one had maxillary fractures, one had maxillary and mandibular complex fractures, and one had multiple facial fractures. All the patients had tooth fractures, dislocations, displacements, and alveolar bone fractures at the time of trauma, but complications occurred because none of the patients underwent preoperative and postoperative dental treatment. Malocclusion and TMD are the most common complications, followed by dental problems (pulp necrosis, tooth extrusion, osteomyelitis, etc.) due to improper treatment of teeth and alveolar bone injuries. The patients were referred to the department of dentistry to undergo treatment for the complications. One of the nine patients underwent orthognathic surgery for a severe open bite. Another patient underwent bone reconstruction using an iliac bone graft and vestibuloplasty with extensive bone loss. The other patients, who complained of moderate occlusal abnormalities and TMDs such as mouth-opening limitation, underwent occlusal treatment by prosthodontic repair and temporomandibular joint treatment instead of surgery. Results: One patient who underwent orthognathic surgery had complete loss of open bite and TMD after surgery. One patient who underwent reconstruction using an iliac bone graft had a good healing process. Other patients were treated with splint, injection, and physical therapy for mouth-opening limitation and temporomandibular joint pain. After treatment, the TMDs were resolved, but the remaining occlusal abnormalities were resolved with prosthetic restoration. Conclusions: Considering the severity of malocclusion and TMJ symptom and the feasibillity of reoperation, nonsurgical methods such as orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments and splint therapy can be used to manage the dental and TMD complication after the trauma surgery. However, reoperation needs to be strongly considered for severe malocclusion and TMD problem.

본 증례에서는 치아외상으로 치관-치근 파절된 미성숙 영구치의 치료에 대해 서술하고자 한다. 7세 환아의 상악 좌측 중절 치의 치아 파절선이 치은연하로 치아장축을 따라 치아전체의 1/2까지 연장되어 있었다. 수직적 치관-치근 파절된 치아에서 그 예후는 불량하며 발치가 일반적인 처치이나 성장기 아동에서 상악중절치의 발치는 치조골 흡수, 심미적 문제, 발음문제 등 여러 합병증을 초래한다. 치은연하로 치관-치근 파절된 치아의 치료 방법으로 치은연상만 수복하는 방법과 치은판막을 형성하여 수복하여 주는 방법, 교정력을 이용하여 정출시키는 방법과 수술로써 발치하여 정출시키는 방법 등이 있다. 본 증례에서는 치아를 의도적으로 발치한 후 접착용 레진 시스템을 이용하여 분리된 치아 파절편을 부착한 후 재식하였다. 1년 동안 관찰한 결과 현재 특이한 임상적 증상은 없으며 심미적으로도 만족할 만하다. 접착용 레진 시스템의 개발과 함께 본 술식은 외상을 많이 받는 혼합 치열기 아동에서 치관-치근 파절된 미성숙 영구치의 한 치료법으로 고려할 수 있다고 생각되어 이에 보고하는 바이다.

65세 남자환자에서 전신마취하 관절경 어깨 수술후 갑자기 발생한 사지 마비 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 환자는 술 후 급격한 사지 마비 증상을 보였으며 마취 관리상 특별한 문제는 없었다. 환자의 수술시 자세와 관련하여 마취 유도시에 기관삽관을 위한 과도한 경추 신전은 시행되지 않았으며 수술중 자세에서도 경추부의 과도한 회전이나 신전 또한 진행되지 않았다. 그러나 수술이 종료된 후 근이완의 완전한 회복과 의식 및 자발호흡은 확인되었으나 사지 마비 증상 및 배뇨장애 증상을 보였다. 신속히 시행한 경추부 자기공명 영상에서 경추간판에 의한 척수 신경 압박 소견 보이는 척추성 경추증 증상을 보였다. 환자는 21일간의 고농도 스테로이드 정주 요법을 포함한 보존적 치료 후에 감각 및 운동신경의 완전한 회복을 보이고 다른 신경학적 이상 소견은 보이지 않은 채로 퇴원하였다. 외상과 관련 없이 사지 마비로 나타나는 수술후 척추성 경추증의 발생은 흔하지 않다. 본 증례를 통해 수술후 발생한 비외상성 척추성 경추증 발생에 대해 타 증례 보고와 비교 분석하여 고찰해 보고자 한다. 임상 의사는 60세 이상의 노년층에서의 수술후 사지 마비에 대해 척추성 경추증의 원인 기여에 대해서도 고려하기를 권고한다.

Background: Extrusion of debris is a major factor that results in postoperative pain during root canal treatment with various instruments and instrumentation techniques. Therefore, instrumentation techniques that extrude minimal debris into the periapical area while reducing pain are desirable. This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative pain and intake of analgesic medication (frequency and quantity) after endodontic treatment of mandibular posterior teeth using two single files and full-sequence continuous rotary systems with different kinematic motions. Methods: Thirty-five of 105 patients were assigned equally to three groups according to the instrumentation system used: ProTaper Next (PN) X2, 25/06 (Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), One Shape (OS), #0.25/06 (Micro Mega, Besancon, France), and Wave One Gold (WG), Red - #0.25, 0.07 (Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Five specialists were included in this study design; each professional prepared 21 teeth, and randomly selected 7 per instrument system. The VAS sheet ranging from 0 to 10 was used to record the initial and postoperative pains at 24, 48, and 72 h, and 7^th day after single visit endodontic treatment in mandibular premolars and molars with a diagnosis of asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis with or without apical periodontitis. Postoperatively, an analgesic, ibuprofen 400 mg was administered for intolerable pain at a dose of 1 tablet for 6 h. The patients were asked over the telephone regarding postoperative pain at intervals of 24, 48, and 72 h, and 7^th day using a visual analogue scale. Result: There were no statistically significant differences among the PN, OS, and WG systems (P > 0.05) with regard to the incidence of postoperative pain at any of the four time points assessed. Conclusion: The intensity of postoperative pain, frequency, and analgesic intake were similar across all three types of instrument systems; however, the reciprocating single file (WG) was associated with less postoperative pain than the full sequence continuous rotary file.
