This study is an analysis of distribution of patients who installed Xive implant in Yonsei University Hospital and types of implant site for about 2 years recall check and cumulative survival rate. 41 implant were used in this study. It shows the conclusion below. 1. Patients at the age of 40s and 50s were 60% of all implant cases and average number of implant was 2.4(man), and 1.9(woman). All cases were operated on mandible, 3 implants on anterior region and 38 implants on posterior region. 2. The major cause of tooth loss is dental caries(48.8%), followed by periodontal disease. 3. Most distribution of bone qaulity for mandibular implant site was type II(65.8%) and bone quantity was type B(75.6%). 4. The majority of implants were those of 11, 13mm in length(95%) and regular diameter in width (64%). 5. The 41(19 persons) Xive implants that were placed in the mandibular anterior and posterior region were all survival and showed a 100% 2 year cumulative survival rate. The results provided us with basic data on patient type, implant distribution, bone condition, and survival rate. We wish that our results coupled with other research data helps assist in the further study for better implant success rates, etc.

Although various analgesics have been administrated for postoperative pain control, postoperative pain has not been adequately controlled . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects and patient's satisfaction of $Myprodol^{(R)}$(combination analgesics with codeine, ibuprofen, paracetamol) compared to Acetamionphen and placebo drug after periodontal surgery and dental implant surgery. We studied 98 cases of outpatients which were composed of 67 cases of flap operation(which separated to 3 groups: Placebo group(n=25), $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group(n=22), Acetaminophen group(n=20)) and 21 cases of dental implant surgery(which separated to 3 groups : Placebo group(n=10), $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group(n=12), Acetaminophen group(n=9)). We evaluated the postoperative pain(Pain 1), Pain after first drug administraion(Pain 2), the degrees of pain reduction(pain 3), patient's satisfaction for drug, and side-effects. We obtained following results; 1. In Pain 1, making a comparison among groups, there was no significant difference in both cases of flap operation-group and dental implant surgery-group 2. In Pain 2, establishing a comparison among groups, there was no significant difference in flap operation-group, but significant difference was seen between placebo group and $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group in cases of dental implant surgery group(P<0.05). 3. In Pain 3, making a comparison among groups, $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group showed significant differences compared to placebo group and Acetaminophen group in both cases of flap operation group and dental implant surgery group(P<0.05). 4. In patient's satisfactory score, making a comparison among groups, there were significant differences between placebo group and $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group in cases of flap operation group and between $Myprodol^{(R)}$ group and Acetaminophen group in cases of dental implant surgery group(P<0.05). 5. Making a comparison in side-dffect, no significant differrence was seen. Our conclusion is that $Myprodol^{(R)}$ is a effective oral analgesics to the patients who underwent periodontal surgery or implant surgery for it's synergism among three dugs.

There is a need to comprehend dental accidents accurately, and construct patient-safety-system in order to prevent consistently increasing dental accident or dispute. This study is aimed to provide basic data for an efficient counterplain by looking through and classifying already occurred dental accidents from an angle of patient safety. Recently, the number of dispute on dental implant was the highest according to rapid growth of dental implant. As a result of classifying dental accidents by International Classification for Patient Safety (ICPS), it is confirmed that cause of accident is different by each type of dental treatment. It is expected to help preventing and managing dental disputes properly by studying actual state of dental disputes in perspective of patient safety. Effort to reduce dental accidents and activity to pursue patient safety have thread in connection. I believe that financial profits of dental clinic and improvement of quality in dental treatment can be achieved through these efforts.

성공적인 상악전치부의 임플란트 식립은 많은 고려를 필요로 한다. 환자를 만족시키며 기능적이며 심미적인 보철수복을 위해서는, 치료에 앞서 정확한 진단이 선행되어야 하며 이는 구내스캔, 콘빔시티, 그리고 안면스캔을 중첩함으로 시도해 볼 수 있다. 구내스캔을 통해 얻어지는 환자의 교합양상과 콘빔시티에서 얻어지는 환자의 치조골의 양상 및 질, 그리고 안면스캔에서 얻어지는 환자의 특성과 구외평가를 어우르는 진단은 보다 성공적인 보철수복을 위한 발판이 될 수 있다. 다양한 정보의 중첩을 통해, 보철적으로 이상적인 치관의 위치를 우선순위에 두지만, 환자의 생물학적 한계를 포용하는 "탑다운"형식의 임플란트 진단은, 이를 고려한 서지컬 가이드를 3D 프린팅하고, 수술에 사용함으로써 구현되었다. 환자의 치조골 소실로 인한 임플란트 식립위치의 한계점은, 치아의 선각과 착시효과를 이용한 보철수복을 통하여 극복하려고 노력하였다. 이후, 임시수복물을 사용하고 환자가 가장 편하다고 느끼는 보철물을 장착한 뒤 디지털 교합장비(Arcus Digma II)를 이용하여 전방유도와 하악의 운동을 측정하여 이를 최종보철물에 적용하였다.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has received increasing interest among plastic surgeons as a long-term complication of breast augmentation. Although the prognosis is usually good, mortality is a possible outcome. Most of the cases reported in the past two decades have been from the United States, Europe, and Australia, whereas cases of BIA-ALCL in Asia remain rare. Herein, we describe the first known case of BIA-ALCL in Thailand, in which a 32-year-old woman developed BIA-ALCL 3 years after breast augmentation using textured implants. The patient underwent bilateral removal of the implants and ipsilateral total capsulectomy. This case report-the first of its kind from Thailand-should increase awareness of BIA-ALCL among plastic surgeons in Asia. The true incidence of BIA-ALCL in Asia may be underreported.

Background: Patients with chronic ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenia) frequently do not require comprehensive medication for daily life. Usually, it had been regarded that postoperative bleeding after a simple or surgical extraction is easily controlled by simple local measures even in patients with ITP. This lack of regular medication usage can sometimes lead practitioners or patients to underestimate the potential life-threatening risk of ITP. There had been no report on postoperative hemorrhage in a patient with ITP related to dental implant surgery. Case presentation: This report presented a life-threatening postoperative hemorrhage after dental implant surgery in an adult with chronic ITP and subsequent emergency management after severe bleeding and airway compromise. Conclusion: The presented case emphasizes the thorough hematological evaluation of the patients even for patients who do not take any specific medications for asymptomatic, chronic ITP.

Traumatic defects are mostly accompanied by hard and soft tissue loss. This report describes the surgical and prosthetic treatment of a patient with post-traumatic mandibular defect. A split-thickness skin graft was performed prior to implant placement and prefabricated acrylic stent was placed to hold the graft in place. The esthetic and functional demands of the patient were fulfilled by implant-supported screw-retained fixed prosthesis using CAD-CAM technology.

The soft tissue triangle is an easily recognizable subunit of the nose. Therefore, deformities in this region resulting from trauma or complications after cosmetic surgery can have serious cosmetic impacts. Various reconstruction choices exist for deformities such as depression of the soft triangle but choosing the most appropriate treatment in each case remains a challenge. In the case described herein, a patient underwent augmentation rhinoplasty with a silastic implant and experienced implant exposure in the soft triangle area. After implant removal, the patient complained of depression in this area. The authors effectively solved this problem through a de-epithelialized composite tissue graft. In this report, we present this case and review similar cases of reconstruction of the soft triangle.

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a complex congenital condition with heterogeneous malformations of the facial skeleton that almost always involves mandibular hypoplasia. Here we introduce a unique case in which a patient with HFM had initially successful optimization of facial symmetry using a polyetheretherketone implant for mandibular augmentation. However, multiple factors associated with the intraoperative and postoperative course, including hardware failure and infection, led to diminished mechanical strength of the mandible, ultimately resulting in a mandibular fracture. In this unique case presentation of HFM, we discuss the various factors that contributed to mandibular weakness and increased susceptibility to fracture.

Although capsular contracture represents one of the most important complications after breast augmentation, local inflammation and fibrosis can lead, to capsular calcification, an often-forgotten radiological sign of capsular contracture. In this article, the authors present a clinical case of breast implant calcification in an 81-year-old patient. Although this complication has been rarely described, the literature was reviewed to clarify the role of the local microenvironment in capsular contracture and calcification. At present, capsular contracture patients are classified using the conventional Baker score and the histological Wilflingseder classification. As it was not possible to consider capsular calcification when classifying our patient using the traditional scores, the authors propose an updated version of the current scale.
