To investigate the pathogenicity and virological properties of TJ-89-2 strain of canine parvovirus(CPV -2) that was isolated from the diseased puppies in Korea, seven puppies-were inoculated intraorally with the isolate at the HA titer of 8,192. All of the puppies showed the signs of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and died at the 5th to 10th days post inoculation (pi). All of the fecal samples from the puppies revealed significantly high HA titers afterward the 5th days pi. Body temperature and the number of total leucocytes were slightly increased at the early stage of infection, but extremly decreased at the stage of collapse. HI titers of the sera began to increase at the 3rd to 4th days pi, reaching 512 to 1,024 at the 4th to 5th days pi.

Once a submasseteric space infection is diagnosed, the key to resolving the infection is via surgical intervention to evacuate the pus. Although it is possible and occasionally practical to drain the submasseteric space via an intraoral approach, an extraoral approach may sometimes be required. Surgeons have encountered complications such as facial nerve damage during extraoral incision and drainage procedures, and they have felt that extraoral dissection was very difficult. As such, an easier and simpler technique is needed. Our department recently modified various drainage techniques for submasseteric space abscesses. Damage to the marginal branch of the facial nerve did not occur, and this technique was very simple and rapid, such that a novice physician could perform this procedure. This modified technique was possible with trismus and under local anesthesia. After intraorally checking the position of the drain, the intraoral wound is closed with an absorbable suture and the drain is fixed to the extraoral skin. When a masseteric space infection is diagnosed, multiple space involvement is ruled out, and dependent drainage is required, this modified drainage technique can be useful.

To evaluate the pathogenesis of live infectious laryngotracheitis vaccine, virus, virus and E.coli were inoculated in 4-weeks old intraorbitally and intraorally. Their pathology and serology were studied. The results were as follows. 1. thicks Inoculated with ILT vaccine alone showed no clinical sign. 2. Some of chicks inoculated with ILT vaccine followed by E.coli after 1day showed nasal discharge and cough. 3. Some of chicks inoculated with E. coli followed by ILT vaccine after 1 day and inoculated ILT vaccine and E.coli concurrently, showed nasal discharge. 4. Serum neutralization titers of chicks inoculated with ILT vaccine increased 3 weeks after Inoculation, peaked at 7 to 8 weeks and decreased. 5. Antibiotic sensitivity of E.coli were higher in Enrofloxacin (Baytril) and chloramphenical.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a common disorder; however, sequential, bilateral presentation of the disease is rarer than unilateral presentation. Clinical otologists usually focus on treating the side with impaired hearing when patients first present with unilateral SSNHL, and therefore, may not warn patients of the possibility of subsequent hearing impairment in the contralateral ear. Furthermore, it is professionally discouraging when a patient presents with profound, sequential SSNHL after initial treatment. This may adversely impact the doctor-patient relationship, even if the patient is offered the best possible care from their first visit. Herein, we report the case of a patient with profound, idiopathic, bilateral SSNHL with a time interval of 37 days between involvement of both ears. Even though high-dose steroids were administered intraorally and intratympanically, the patient's hearing was not restored, and the patient eventually required bilateral cochlear implant surgery. Our report demonstrates that sequential, profound, bilateral SSNHL may manifest without any specific signs.

With the recent development of digital dentistry, fully digitalized methods for fabricating dentures, using intraoral scans and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), are getting popular. Digital methods have the advantage of simplifying the fabrication process in the clinic and laboratory, supplementing digital data. This case report shows a fully digital fabrication method for interim removable dentures in a patient with anterior tooth loss in which implant placement is impossible or delayed. Interim removable dentures were fabricated using two methods. One method is printing tooth and base parts separately and combining, and the other method is printing the whole denture at one time and coloring on the base part. Afterward, dentures were delivered and adaptation was evaluated using the triple scan technique. The extracted site was scanned intraorally (first scan) and the interim removable denture was digitally scanned both intraorally (second scan) and, after removal extraorally (Third scan). In both method, denture adaptation was shown favorable. We report this case report as both the patient and the operator were satisfied with a simplified process using a fully digital method in the clinic.

Purpose: To describe the newly developed Film image transfer system (FITS) for proper positioning of the orthodontic mini-implant in the narrow interdental space and considerations for better application. Materials and Methods: A patient who was planning to have orthodontic mini-implant treatment on the posterior maxilla was recruited to assess the feasibility of FITS. Dental radiographic film and bite record was taken. And then the film image was transferred on the photographic emulsion coated model using transfer light through film projector (enlarger). After exposing the photo emulsion coating on the model, the image was developed with a working solution for a paper developer and fixed. The surgical guide for the mini-implant was fabricated from the transported FITS data. Results: The completed surgical guide was easily placed intraorally, and allowed a simple and rapid placement of the mini-implant. The site of the implant placement was accurate as planned position. Conclusion: In the reported case, The FITS technique represents an effort to minimize risk to the patient and produce consistently good results based upon accurate information about the anatomy of the implant site.

A Brazilian girl aged 14 years and 9 months presented with a chief complaint of protrusive teeth. She had a convex facial profile, extreme overjet, deep bite, lack of passive lip seal, acute nasolabial angle, and retrognathic mandible. Intraorally, she showed maxillary diastemas, slight mandibular incisor crowding, a small maxillary arch, 13-mm overjet, and 4-mm overbite. After the diagnosis of severe Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion, a mandibular protraction appliance was placed to correct the Class II relationships and multiloop edgewise archwires were used for finishing. Follow-up examinations revealed an improved facial profile, normal overjet and overbite, and good intercuspation. The patient was satisfied with her occlusion, smile, and facial appearance. The excellent results suggest that orthodontic camouflage by using a mandibular protraction appliance in combination with the multiloop edgewise archwire technique is an effective option for correcting Class II malocclusions in patients who refuse orthognathic surgery.

Calcium-channel blockers such as nifedipine could be associated with gingival overgrowth. The aim of this study was to examine the role of Paeonia lactiflora Pallas(PLP) on nifedipine-induced gingival hyperplasia along with submandibular secretory function in rats. Animals in divided groups received nifedipine (250 mg/kg) alone and in PLP(100, 200 mg/kg) in orally administration for 3 weeks. Pure submandibular saliva was collected intraorally by micropolyethylene cannula and the mandibular gingiva was examined by means of dissecting microscope for signs of redness, tickness, inflammation and exuda. Twenty-one days nifedipine treatment induced gingival hyperplasia accompanied with reduced salivary flow rate and concentrations total protein, epidermal growth factor(EGF) and calcium in comparison with normals. Co-treatment of animals with nifedifine and PLP protected from gingival hyperplasia and retained flow rate, and concentrations of total protein, EGF and calcium in normal levels.

Epidermoid cysts located in floor of mouth can be easily removed intraorally. The cysts inferior to mylohyoid muscle have been excised transcervically. However, an intraoral removal of a cyst extended inferior to mylohyoid muscle has not been reported yet. A 20-year-old female visited to the hospital with a cystic mass in submental region. Neck computed tomography revealed a 6.0${\times}$4.3cm sized circumscribed cystic mass in midline of submental area. The cyst lied external to the genioglossal and geniohyoid muscle, extending inferior to mylohyoid muscle. The mass was removed successfully by intraoral approach. It was performed under the exposure by the division of genioglossal and geniohyoid muscle, traction of the cystic wall after aspiration of the cyst, and digital compression externally.
