Purpose: This study considered the effects and proper treatments of mandibular condyle fractures by comparing clinical differences and complications according to analysis and treatment plan. Methods: From September 2007 to August 2010, patients who were diagnosed with condylar fracture and monitored for more than 3 months were selected. Cases were divided in a reductive manner and evaluated by type and period of intermaxillary fixation (IMF), status of occlusion and trismus according to the Spiessle/Schroll method. A total 50 patients were examined. Results: The number of the unilateral condyle fractures was 45 and 30 patients had multiple fractures. Type of fracture was categorized by the Spiessle/Schroll method. There were 21 patients with type I, 11 patients with type II, 3 patients with type 3, 10 patients with type V and 5 patients with type VI; there were no patients with a type IV fracture. 11 patients were operated on with open reduction. Among them, 9 patients were type II and 2 patients were type I. For type I patients, an intra-oral approach was conducted with an endoscope and trocar. For 3 of the type II patients, an retromandibular approach was conducted and for the rest of the type II patients, the same approach as type I was used. The periods of IMF were 2.36 weeks (mean) in open reduction group and 2.9 weeks (mean) in closed reduction group and the total mean period is 2.78 weeks. All patients had stable occlusion after removing the IMF. Trismus occurred in 1 patient for open reduction and 5 patients for closed reduction. Facial nerve palsy was observed in one patient postoperatively that resolved after 6 months. Conclusion: In this study, similar prognosis was shown after an open and closed reduction was conducted. Therefore, treatments need to be planned depending on the degree of condyle fracture and the amount of displacement. Additionally, the period of IMF could be shortened with open reduction.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to highlight the role of lateral arthroplasty along with interposition of the buccal fat pad (BFP) in the management of Sawhney type III temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with TMJ ankylosis (7 unilateral and 3 bilateral, total of 13 joints) were treated with lateral arthroplasty and BFP interposition. The bony bridge of the ankylotic mass on the lateral aspect was resected, leaving a distance of 1.5 to 2.0 cm from the base of the skull to the neck of the condyle. The condyle was left intact. Coronoidectomy was performed on the ipsilateral side via the same approach in all cases. The inter-incisal opening was measured at that time, and if it was less than 35 mm, contralateral coronoidectomy was performed by using the intra-oral approach. After satisfactory inter-incisal mouth opening (${\geq}35mm$) was achieved, the TMJ surgical site was revisited, and BFP was retrieved and used to cover the lateral aspect of the medially placed condyle. Results: With lateral arthroplasty, the medially displaced condyle can be left in-situ to maintain the mandibular ramal height and function and to act as a growth center in children. Interposition of the BFP prevents reformation of the lateral bony bridge that was removed. Conclusion: Lateral arthroplasty along with interpositioning of the BFP is a novel technique for managing Sawhney type III ankylosis that achieves management goals while avoiding complex and advanced reconstructive surgical procedures.

Dentigerous cyst (DC) is an odontogenic cyst associated with the crown of an impacted, embedded, unerupted, or developing tooth. It is the second most common type of odontogenic cysts, accounting for 14% to 24% of all jaw cysts. Although these cysts occur more frequently during the second and third decades of life, they can also be found in children and adolescents in the mixed dentition stage. Treatment of the odontogenic cyst involves enucleation or marsupialization/decompression methods. The latter approach is preferred for larger cysts, and it is especially helpful in adolescent patients in conserving the unerupted permanent successors. The aim of treatment for DC is the complete elimination of pathology and maintenance of dentition with minimal surgical intervention. Recently defined criteria for the selection of treatment modality include the cyst size and location of the cyst, patient age, dentition involved, stage of root development, position of the tooth involved in the jaw, and relationship with the surrounding vital structure. Marsupialization or decompression technique has been advocated by several authors for treating DCs among young patients. In this conservative technique, the creation of an accessory cavity helps relieve intra-cystic pressure and accelerate the healing of cystic lesion. This technique has been successfully performed and is indicated for growing children and adolescents. Here, we report a large cyst lesion in the mandible treated by marsupialization for conservative management. In conclusion, successful reduction in size was achieved, and intraoperative complication could be prevented.

교정치료에 있어서 고정원은 진단 및 치료계획에서부터 치료 종료 단계까지 항상 염두에 두어야 하는 중요한 요소이다. 전통적으로 고정원의 조절을 위하여 차등력, 차등모멘트, 구내 고정원, 구외 고정원 등의 다양한 방법들이 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 원치 않는 치아의 이동이 발생할 수 있고 환자의 협조도가 필요하다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 환자의 협조도나 주변 치아에 의존하지 않는 골격성 고정원(skeletal anchorage)이 전통적인 방법들의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 제시되었다. 골격성 고정원의 종류로는 implant, onplant, miniplate, miniscrew 등이 있다. 이 중에서 miniscrew는 환자의 협조도 감소, 술식의 간편성, 저렴한 비용, 식립부위의 다양성 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 교정치료 시 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 본 증례는 이소성 맹출 경로를 보이는 상악 견치와 매복된 하악 견치의 견인, 정출된 상악 전치의 압하에 miniscrew를 이용하여 양호한 결과를 보였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Surgical resection of tumors in the maxillofacial region sometimes results in extended defects of soft and hard tissue that frequently causes aesthetic, functional and especially mental damages. It is essential for patients with such facial defects to reduce the scar and maxillofacial asymmetry. To attain esthetic facial appearance after hemimaxillectomy, we devise a new design, so called 'IOIO Incision' (InfraOrbital-IntraOral incision). The new approach is established on infraorbital region to expose maxillofacial skeleton in aspect of face. And the other incision is designed on intraoral region. The IOIO incision provide excellent aesthetic result after hemimaxillectomy, because of reduced minimal facial scar contraction. Maxillofacial surgeons are used to designing Weber-Fergusson incision in resection of maxillofacial tumors, but disadvantages of the incision were large scar and asymmetry of face. To improve theses problem, we attempted IOIO Incision.. For correct osteotomy of posterolateral wall of maxillary sinus, 1. Fenestra formation on zygomatic body for easily access of reciprocating saw to posterolateral wall of maxillary sinus. 2. To achieve better visual field in posterolateral aspect of maxilla, fat tissue is removed from infratemporal fossa. This new, versatile procedure can be used for benign and malignant lesions of the maxillary area. We introduce cases with review of literatures.

Efforts from many different approaches have been made to cure Raynaud's phenomenon using dosal sympathectomy and topical injection of nitroglycerine, phentolamine or procaine and oral or parenteral administration of various drugs. However, there has been no successful management proven yet. In recent years, it was reported that intra-arterial adminstriation of various drugs in normal subjects as well as patients with Raynaud's syndrome, had emonstrated a significant increase in blood flow to the hands. We used an intermittent stellate ganglion block in conjunction with intra-arterial injection of reserpine and procaine in the patient suffering from finger necrosis caused by accidental intraarterial antibiotic (cephamezine) injection. The stellate ganglion block was performed via a paratracheal approach by injection of 0.5% bupivacaine 6 ml, and 1% lidocaine 6 ml, and followed by administration of reserpine 1 mg and procaine 50 mg through a butterfly needle inserted in the radial artery. The administration of reserpine and procaine was done twice. The stellate ganglion block was performed every day for about 3 days, then once every a 5 days as needed for 15 days. As the procedure was carried out, the discolored tissue improved and the pain was progressively relieved. In conclusion, it was suggested that the intra-arterial administration of reserpine and procaine helped initiate and accelerate the increasing blood flow to the hand and the stellate ganglion block continued to help revascularization by dilating the peripheral beds.

PURPOSE. To integrate extra-oral facial scanning information with CAD/CAM complete dentures to immediately rehabilitate terminal dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten patients with terminal dentition scheduled for total extraction and immediate denture placement were recruited for this study. The patients were submitted to a facial scanning procedure using the in-office PritiMirror scanner with bite registration records in-situ. Definitive stone cast models and bite records were subsequently submitted to a lab scanning procedure using the lab scanner (iSeries DWOS; Dental Wings). The scanned models were used to create a virtual teeth setup of a complete denture. Using the intra-oral bite records as a reference, the virtual setup was incorporated in the facial scan thereby facilitating a virtual clinical evaluation (teeth try-in) phase. After applying necessary adjustments, the virtual setup was submitted to a CAM procedure where a 5-axis industrial milling machine (M7 CNC; Darton AG General) was used to fabricate a full-milled PMMA immediate provisional prosthesis. RESULTS. Total extractions were performed, the dentures were immediately inserted, and subjective clinical fit was evaluated. The immediate provisional prostheses were inserted and clinical fit, occlusion/articulation, and esthetics were subjectively assessed; the results were deemed satisfactory. All provisional prostheses remained three months in function with no notable technical complications. CONCLUSION. Ten patients with terminal dentition were treated using a complete digital approach to fabricate complete dentures using CAD/CAM technology. The proposed technique has the potential to accelerate the rehabilitation procedure starting from immediate denture to final implant-supported prosthesis leading to more predictable functional and aesthetics outcomes.

발치 후 고정성 지르코니아 보철물을 제작하는 경우 통상적으로 임시레진 보철물을 수작업으로 제작하고 보철단계에서 인상채득하여 최종 보철물을 제작한다. 이러한 전통적인 방식은 임시보철물과 최종 보철물 사이의 연계가 부족하고 결과의 심미적 기능적 예측성이 낮을 수 있다. 현재 CAD/CAM 방식의 보철물 제작과 관련 디지털 기술이 발전하여 진료에서 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 본 증례에서 발치 후 고정성 단일구조 지르코니아 보철물을 계획하는 경우 CAD/CAM 방식 임시보철물, 발치와 치유 후의 구내스캔, 컴퓨터 영상중첩술을 이용하여 최적의 가공치 적합도를 가지며 치료의 결과 예측도가 향상된 디지털 방식을 소개하고자 한다.
