The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of scatter radiation to dental x-ray film with long time-exposure in the different structures of the tooth, by using pinhole camera. For this study, pinhole camera, skull with tooth, and pocket dosimeter were used. The radiation with 70 and 90kVp and exposure time (minimum: 2.5 min., maximum 10 hrs.) was projected to the film in the pinhole camera. And density of the obtained x-ray film was measured with densitometer. In the intra-oral film taking, the amount of exposure of the scatter radiation affecting the thyroid gland area was measured with the dosimeter at the thyroid gland. The density of radiographs was compared in radiation projected with or without the metal cone of dental machine. The effect of the back scatter radiation to the film was also evaluated when the lead foil was removed. The obtained results were as follows: 1. A pinhole camera was a valuable device for locating the source of x-ray. 2. The scatter radiation affected the dental x-ray film when the radiation source was exposed. more than 5 hours'. In that case, the density of the scatter radiation could be observed visually. 3. The scatter radiation caused by short exposure of dental radiation didn't affect the diagnostic quality of the dental x-ray film. 4. The differences of densities between the tooth and the soft tissue according to exposure time showed 0.16 in 5 hours' exposure & 0.17 in 10 hours' exposure at 70 kVp & 0.12 in 5 hours' exposure & 0.13 in 10 hours' exposure at the 90kVp. 5. The differences of densities between the tooth and the soft tissue according to kVp showed no difference between 5 hours' exposure of tooth at 70 kVp and soft tissue at 90 kVp, but showed 0.05 high density in tooth when 10 hours' exposure at 90 kVp. 6. No difference of density was on radiographs taken with or without dental machine cone. 7. Back scatter radiation was recorded image of radiographs for only 3 min. 8. The amounts of the scatter radiation exposed to the thyroid gland in intraoral film taking were 1.12 mr in upper anterior, 0.55 mr in upper posterior, 2.75 mr in lower anterior, and 1.92 mr in lower posterior teeth.

Since $Gr{\"{o}}nadhl$ et al introduced a digital subtraction radiography into periodontal dignosis in 1983, many reports using this system has aimed to assess the peroiodontal disease activity and the alveolar bone changes after periodontal treatment. The present study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of digital subtraction radiography for asessing an alveolar bone changes in 3 months after periodontal flap surgery. Serial intraral raiographs were taken from 5 normal subjects and 6 periodontally diseased patients using customized bite blocks attached to film holder in fxation device and digitized by image processing system(consisting of IBM 386, digital frame grabber, CCD camera, Image-pro II software). And the reference parameters were measured by pixel unit and compared with respective radiographs. The serial radiographs showed a little and statistically insignificant difference in reference paramenters. The conventional intraoral radiographs, the subtraction images and the clor enhanced subtraction images were reviewed by 4 examiners and the examiner's agreement rates were compared. The subtraction images and its color enhanced images showed higher examiner's agreement rate than the conventional radiographs. And the propotions of sites diagnosed with bone loss or gain after periodontal surgery were highter in the subtraction images and its color enhanced images than in the conventional radiographs. Especially, in color enhanced images, the unber of bone agin sites tended to increase according to post-surgery periods. These results indicate that projection geometry could be standardized with the divice used in this study, and the subtraction radiography may be useful to assess an alveolar bone changes after periodntal flap surgery.

Background: The introduction of presurgical nasoalveolar molding represented a significant departure from traditional molding methods. Developed by Grayson and colleagues in 1993, this technique combines an intraoral molding device with a nasal molding stent. This study aimed to compare the Grayson nasoalveolar molding appliance versus DynaCleft appliance as two methods of presurgical nasoalveolar molding. Methods: A single-blinded, randomized, parallel-arm clinical trial was conducted. Sixteen infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate were enrolled and divided into two groups of eight. Group 1 was treated with a modified Grayson nasoalveolar molding appliance that included a nasal stent, while group 2 was treated with DynaCleft elastic adhesive tape and an external nasal elevator. Standardized digital photographs of each infant were taken at baseline and post-treatment using a professional camera. Nine extraoral anthropometric measurements were obtained from each image using image measurement software. Results: The modified Grayson nasoalveolar appliance demonstrated a more significant improvement compared to DynaCleft in terms of alar length projection (on both sides), columella angle, and nasal tip projection. Symmetry ratios also showed enhancement, with significant improvements observed in nasal width, nasal basal width, and alar length projection (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Both the modified Grayson nasoalveolar appliance and DynaCleft appear to be effective presurgical infant orthopedics treatment options, demonstrating improvements in nasolabial aesthetics. The modified Grayson appliance, equipped with a nasal stent, improved nasal symmetry more effectively than DynaCleft, resulting in a straighter columella and a more medially positioned nasal tip.

This study was accomplished for appreciation of the mandibular moments according to antero- posterior movement of pivot placed on the lower natural dentition. For this study, 20 subjects(male, $21\sim30$ yrs., average age 24) in the category of normal occlusion were selected, and the intraoral Vitallium clutches were cast and fabricated for each subjects. A 2-dimension PSD(Position Sensitive Detector, Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Japan) was attached to maxillary clutch in a mode of three dimensional control and LED (Light Emit Diode, Hamamatsu Photonics Co., Japan) was set up on mandibular clutch. Both clutches were set into oral cavity of each subjects and adjusted. Then the subjects were allowed to intercuspated with maximal bite force while the pivoting ball in the mid-line moving from anterior toward posterior position. The displacement scales were recorded by CCD camera(Sony, CCD-TR-705) and VCR, The conclusions were as follows : 1. When the subject was allowed to bite the metal pivoting ball in the midline of lower dentition with maximal bite force voluntarily while moving from lower central incisor to canine, 1st premolar, End premolar, 1st molar and 2nd molar. The lever actions on the pivot were revealed in all subjects. The equilibrium of moment were revealed on the pivots of 1st premolar(14 subjects), End premolar(4 subjects), and canine(2 subjects) areas. 2. The changes of loading on the TMJ according to antero-posterior positional changes of metal pivoting ball were able to recognize as follow. Compression on the TMJ was increased when the pivot moves anteriorly from the equilibrium point, and tension on the TMJ was increased when posteriorly. 3. 13 subjects were recognized their habitual chewing sides(Rights, Left8), and 7 subjects were not. During maximal biting, mandible was displaced toward their habitual chewing sides on the metal pivoting ball in the frontal plane. 4. In cephalometric analysis, the average genial angle of 20 subjects was $116.75^{\circ}$ and the average mandibular body length was 79.77mm. The equilibrium points of mandibular moment were positioned more posteriorly in the subjects having larger Genial angle than in the smaller(p<0.05). Relationships among the angle between FH plane and occlusal plane, the angle between occlusal plane and mandibular plane , and mandibular body length were not significant(p>0.05).
