파킨슨 병을 가지고 있는 환자의 총의치는 혀와 입술의 불수의적 운동으로 인해 유지와 안정이 좋지 않은 경우가 많다. 또한 제한된 수의 운동으로 인해 피개의치의 장착에 어려움이 어려울 수 있다. 본 증례는 파킨슨병을 가진 상, 하악 부분 무치악 환자에서 상악에서는 잔존치근을 이용한 magnetic attachment와 하악에서는 2개의 임플란트를 이용한 $Locator^{(R)}$ attachment를 통해 유지와 안정을 증진시킨 피개의치 수복증례로서, 기능적으로 개선된 보철물을 제작했기에 보고하는 바이다.

Periodontal disease accompany the inflammation around periodontal tissue and generally periodontal destruction is followed, This destruction often makes the molar teeth have furcation defect. And to treat molar furcation involvement, resective surgery such as root resection and ostectomy and regenerative procedure such as guided tissue regeneration were introduced. Also implant can be considered as one of the good treatment methods, Among these treatment alternatives, root resection can be considered as a good procedure in the point of saving one's natural teeth or amount of cost. Therefore the purpose of this article is to evaluate root-resected teeth which were done at least 2 years ago. 70 root-resected teeth in 58 patient who visited Kyungpook National University Hospital were included in this study. They were evaluated by two clinical method. One is subjective evaluation and another is objective evaluation. To evaluate subjective outcome, 58 patients answered to the questionnaire if they experienced tooth extraction, bleeding, swelling, pain, mobility and chewing problem. To evaluate objective outcome, 28 teeth was evaluated according to Langer's criteria. The subjective result showed 82% of success rate and 18% of failure rate. 13 of 70 teeth showed discomfort and were considered as failure, which include chewing problem (39%) and pain (23%). The objective outcome showed that 4 failure (14% failure rate) which were 2 cases of bone loss by periodontal problem, one endodontic problem and one untreatable caries. By these limited results, some of clinical consideration in root resective procedure can be suggested. Periodontal support and less occlusal loading on resected tooth should be evaluated before the procedure, moreover, good oral hygiene is essential. When these factors are considered carefully, the root resection may produce predictive outcomes in the treatment of furcational involvement.

Purpose: Implant-based breast reconstruction has multiple advantages such as decreased morbidity, shorter operative time and faster recovery. However, postoperative infection with tissue expander increases medical cost and causes a delay in concurrent antineoplastic treatment. To reduce tissue expander infection, it is important to identify related risk factors and minimize them when possible. Methods: A retrospective review of patient records in a single breast cancer center was performed. Eighty-six tissue expanders were placed in 80 women for postmastectomy breast reconstruction. Variables including patients'age, body mass index (BMI), preoperative breast volume, operation time, drain indwelling time, postoperative seroma/hematoma formation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy were evaluated. Infection was defined as the status that shows any symptom of local inflammation and identification of pathogens. Representative values were compared through Student's t-test and univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: We examined 86 postmastectomy tissueexpanders which were placed between June 2004 and April 2010. Seven cases of tissue expander infection (8.1%) were identified. The infected tissue expander was removed in three of the cases. The relationship between BMI, and preoperative breast volume and that between infection and non-infection groups were significant ($p$ <0.05). Univariate analysis showed significant association between BMI ($p$=0.023) and preoperative breast volume ($p$=0.037). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI and preoperative breast volume were independent variables regarding tissue expander infection. Conclusion: Certain characteristics of implant-based breast reconstruction patients increase infection rate of tissue expander. These risk factors should be monitored and evaluated before surgeries for more successful outcome.

상악 전치부 임플란트의 성공적인 수복을 위해서는 pink esthetics와 white esthetics가 모두 충족되어야 한다. Pink esthetics 부분의 경우 적절한 임시보철물의 역할이 중요하고, white esthetics 부분의 경우에는 최종 보철물의 색상과 형태가 중요하다. 다층 지르코니아는 기존의 단일구조 지르코니아에 비해 절단 부위의 투명도가 높기 때문에 추가적인 도재 축성 없이 자연스러운 보철물 제작이 가능하다. 따라서 본 증례에서는 상악 전치를 상실한 환자에서 적절한 임시보철물을 통해 기능과 심미성을 충분히 회복한 후 다층 지르코니아를 통해 white esthetics를 달성하였다.

혈우병은 혈액 응고에 필요한 13개의 인자들 중 1개라도 결핍될 경우 혈액 응고에 장애가 발생하여 지혈 이상을 보이는 선천성 출혈성 질환이다. 13개의 인자들 중 결핍된 응고 인자에 따라 혈우병 A(제8번 인자, factor VIII), 혈우병 B(제9번 인자, factor IX), 혈우병 C(제10번 인자, factor X)로 분류된다. 혈우병 A 진단을 받은 40대 남성 환자가 전체적인 만성 치아 주위 염증으로 인한 치조골 흡수 및 치주농양을 문제를 주소로 을지대학교병원 치과에 내원하였고, 초진당시 전반적인 골흡수 및 염증상태를 보였다. 혈액응고인자의 농도를 적절히 유지하며 관혈적 및 비관혈적 치료를 시행한 바, 10년 동안의 정기적인 내원으로 #35, #36 부위를 제외한 나머지 부위에서 별다른 합병증이나 출혈성향은 관찰되지 않았고, 전반적으로 양호한 구강 상태를 보였으며 부작용이나 합병증은 보이지 않았다.

Background and Objectives: We aimed to measure the head dimensions on computed tomography (CT) images, to compare them to directly measured head dimensions, and to predict a new parameter of bone thickness for aiding bone conduction implant (BCI) placement. Subjects and Methods: We reviewed the facial and mandibular bone CT images of 406 patients. Their head sizes were analyzed using five parameters included in the 6th Size Korea project, and they were divided into age groups (ranging from the 10s to the 80s). We compared the head length, head width, sagittal arc, bitragion arc, and head circumference in the CT and Size Korea groups. We also added the parameter bone thickness for aiding BCI placement. Results: All the head size parameters measured using CT were significantly smaller than those measured directly, with head length showing the smallest difference at 7.85 mm. The differences in the other four parameters between the two groups according to patient age were not statistically significantly different. Bone thickness had the highest value of 4.89±0.93 mm in the 70s and the lowest value of 4.10±0.99 mm in the 10s. Bone thickness also significantly correlated with head width (p=0.038). Conclusions: Our findings suggested that the CT and direct measurements yielded consistent data. Moreover, CT enabled the measurement of bone sizes, including bone thickness, that are impossible to measure directly. CT measurements may complement direct measurements in the Size Korea data when used for developing bone conduction hearing devices (BCIs and headsets) for the Korean population.

전치부 영역에서 임플란트는 경, 연조직 조화가 필요하며 다양한 단계를 필요로 한다. 이 중 순측의 함몰은 연조직 이식을 통해 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 치은퇴축을 위한 피개가 아닌 함몰을 위한 연조직 이식은 공여부의 선택에 있어서 구개측에 비해 상악결절부위에서의 채득으로 연조직의 볼륨을 보다 증가시킬 수 있으며 출혈이나 술후 통증을 줄이고, 공여부의 치유를 빠르게 하는 장점이 있어 좋은 치료 선택이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries, but there is a high reoperation rate (29.7%) commonly due to capsular contracture, implant malpositioning, infection, and unsatisfactory size. Although infection only accounts for 2% of cases, its management is very challenging, especially with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. Breast prosthetic NTM infection is a rare but is a disastrous condition with an incidence of approximately 0.013%. Immediate salvage reimplantation is usually not suggested, and most studies recommend a gap of 3 to 6 months after combination antibiotics therapy before reimplantation. However, delayed reimplantation often leads to great psychological stress and struggle between the doctor and patient. We present the case report of successful reimplantation in treating prosthetic NTM infections in a 28-year-old female. We discuss a novel technique "transaxillary capsulorrhaphy" to correct the bottoming-out deformity. One year after the combination of antibiotics and surgery, the follow-up computed tomography scan showed complete remission of NTM without recurrence. We discuss the surgical technique in detail. The 1-year follow-up assessment (photos and dynamic video) revealed good cosmesis and reliable correction using the new technique. This report is the first formal description and discussion of one-stage reimplantation following NTM infections. Transaxillary capsulorrhaphy allows for a successful salvage operation when an implant is displaced. This approach provides highly favorable result in eastern women undergoing revision augmentation mammoplasty. This study reflects level of evidence V, considering opinions of respected authorities based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees.
