Objectives: Bisphosphonate is the primary cause of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Bisphosphonates are eliminated from the human body by the kidneys. It is anticipated that bisphosphonate levels in the body will increase if the kidney is in a weak state or if there is systemic disease that affects kidney function. The aim of this study was to analyze the relevance of renal function in the severity of BRONJ. Materials and Methods: Ninety-three patients diagnosed with BRONJ in Pusan National University Dental Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were included in this study. All patients underwent a clinical exam, radiographs, and serologic lab test, including urine analysis. The patient's medical history was also taken, including the type of bisphosphonate drug, the duration of administration and drug holiday, route of administration, and other systemic diseases. In accordance with the guidelines of the 2009 position paper of American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the BRONJ stage was divided into 4 groups, from stage 0 to 3, according to the severity of disease. IBM SPSS Statistics version 21.0 (IBM Co., USA) was used to perform regression analysis with a 0.05% significance level. Results: BRONJ stage and renal factor (estimated glomerular filtration rate) showed a moderate statistically significant correlation. In the group with higher BRONJ stage, the creatinine level was higher, but the increase was not statistically significant. Other factors showed no significant correlation with BRONJ stage. There was a high statistically significant correlation between BRONJ stage and 'responder group' and 'non-responder group,' but there was no significant difference with the 'worsened group.' In addition, the age of the patients was a relative factor with BRONJ stage. Conclusion: With older age and lower renal function, BRONJ is more severe, and there may be a decrease in patient response to treatment.

PURPOSE: This study examined the changes in the handgrip strength, dexterity, and hand function according to the presence or absence of gloves and types of gloves. METHODS: Seventy-six adults in their twenties (male: 24, female: 52, mean age 21.04 years) were the subjects of this study. The handgrip strength, dexterity, and hand function were evaluated with bare hands without gloves, poly gloves, and latex gloves. The handgrip strength was measured using a dynamometer, and three pinch strength tests were performed: tip pinch, lateral pinch, and three-jaw pinch. The hand dexterity was evaluated using the Minnesota manual dexterity test, and the hand function was evaluated using the Jabson-Taylor hand function test. RESULTS: There was no difference in the grip strength depending on whether the gloves were worn. The hand grip, dexterity, and hand function showed significant differences according to the type of glove. Regarding the handgrip, dexterity, and hand function, the latex glove had the best function, and the poly glove had the lowest function. CONCLUSION: There was a difference in dexterity among the hand functions but no difference in grip strength according to the type of glove. The results suggest that the use of latex gloves in daily life be recommended.

Purpose: The present retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic parameters, complications, and satisfaction in patients who received fixed prostheses supported by narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) in the anterior and posterior jaw. Methods: Patients aged ≥30 years who had NDI-supported fixed prostheses in the anterior or posterior region of either jaw for at least 2 years were included. Complications such as chipping of the crown; loosening or fracture of the screw, crown abutment, or implant; and loss of retention were recorded. Clinical peri-implant outcomes and crestal bone loss (CBL) were measured. A questionnaire was used to record responses regarding the aesthetics and function of the fixed restorations. Analysis of variance was used to assess the significance of between-group mean comparisons. The log-rank test was performed to analyze the influence of location and prosthesis type on technical complications. Results: Seventy-one patients (mean age: 39.6 years) provided informed consent with a mean follow-up duration of 53 months. Only bleeding on probing showed a statistically significant difference between NDIs in the anterior and posterior regions. The complication rate for NDIs in the posterior region was significantly higher than that for NDIs in the anterior region (P=0.041). For NDIs, CBL was significantly higher around splinted crowns than single crowns (P=0.022). Overall mean patient satisfaction was 10.34±3.65 on a visual analogue scale. Conclusions: NDIs in the anterior and posterior jaws functioned equally well in terms of periimplant soft and hard tissue health and offered acceptable patient satisfaction and reasonable complication rates.

A novel 2-dimensional matched filter of the parallel-jaw type using fuzzy logics is proposed for bin picking. Specifically, averaged pixel intensity of the windowed region for the filtering is considered to be fuzzy. Also membership function for darkness and brightness are designed by employing the intensite histogram of image. Then a rule is given to know how much a windowed region can be a possible holdsite. Furthermore eight rules are made to determine the part orientation, where Mamadi's resoning method is applied. To show the validities of our proposed technique. some experimental results are illustrated and compared with the results by conventional matched filter technique.

Classification of facial asymmetry has not been yet well-organized because of their variety on etiologic factors, involved sites and clinical expressions. And surgical treatments are also variable and depend upon their causes and clinical abnormalities. This is a case report on surgical experiences of two patients who had severe facial asymmetry and could not treated pre-surgical orthodontics before surgery. One patient was belong to hemifacial microsomia and another was a very unusual complex type related to unilateral condylar hyperplasia, unilateral macrognathia and unilateral mandibular hypoplasia. The authors used a simultaneous two-jaw surgery, bone shaving and onlay-type bone graft in former case, and a simultaneous two-jaw surgery, condylectomy, bone shaving and only-type bone graft in latter case. In two cases, immediate post-operative results in function and esthetics were excellent, however, progressive resorption of onlay-type bone grafts have been noticed.

An Epidemiologic study was carried out on 77 TMD patients with degenerative joint disease who had visited the Orofacial Pain Clinic in Pusan National University Hospital. Al subjects were interviewed and examined clinically and radiologically using a standardized examination form. As related to gender and duration, subjective and objective sysmptoms in DJD patients were studied. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were much more patients in the twenties or thirties, women and histories such as chronic duration and microtrauma. 2. Most patients responded positively more often to the questions of jaw function, unilateral chewing in habits, poot appetite and depression in behavioral response and shoulder pain in worsening prognosis 3. While the most common reasons for treatment were pain, noise, and limitation of opening, the associated symptoms such as headache, neckache, earache, jaw dysfunction, neck dysfunction, acute bite change and dizziness, ringing or fullness in the ears as secondary CNS excitatory effects were complained. 4. Opening the mouth in 25 to 40mm, soft end feel and deflective incisal pathway were seen and more tenderness to lateral or dorsal capsule of joint than intra or extra oral muscles were complained. 5. While there appeared no click, crepitus and single click in acute group, in chronic group, crepitus, single click and no click appeared in order of sequence. 6. Tomogram or bone scan revealed more bony changes than panorama and transcranial view.

ㆍPurpose: This study was performed to investigate the initial conservative treatment for TMD patients using careful counselling and medication prospectively. ㆍMaterials and Methods: Careful counselling and medication were performed in 51 TMD patients and 27 patients had follow-up check 2 months or more. Diagnosis of TMD was based on medical history and, physical and radiographic examination. TMD included masticatory disorder, internal derangement, degenerative joint disease, inflammatory joint disorder. and problems resulting from extrinsic trauma. All patients had chief complaints of TMJ pain, mouth-opening limitation. joint noise, and/or referred pain. We counselled and explained to the patient about the pathogenesis, etiologic factors, diagnosis and treatment plan for abut 10 minutes. We prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorv analgesic(Somalgen) and amitriptyline 10mg per day for 2 weeks. We informed the patient of the attention sheet and taught self-exercise of jaw. The patient were assessed by answering the questionnaire of subjective evaluation of TMD & maxillofacial pain. Questionnaire of an activity limitation. Questionnaire of a jaw function, and Questionnaire for the evaluation of TMD. ㆍResults: In questionnaire for the evaluation of TMD, 88.5% of 26 patients answered that the treatment was efficacious. 71.4% of 21 patients answered no problem in everyday life. There were significant differences between pretreatment and final follow-up in the evaluation of the subjective pain in the following sections: opening widely, chewing, resting, morning, masticatory muscle, and temporal portion(SAS program, paired T-test, P = 0.05). ㆍConclusions: Considerate counselling and proper medication could be significantly effectve in the initial treatment of TMD.

Since $Br^{\circ}anemark$ introduced the osseointegrated implants, they have been granted for useful methods for the restoration of oral function. The original $Br^{\circ}anemark$ protocol recommended long stress-free healing periods to achieve the osseointegration of dental implants. However, many clinical and experimental studies have shown that the osseointegration is no wonder in almost cases and that early and immediate loading may lead to predictable osseointegration. So we are willing to introduce the Satellite Abutment newly invented for immediate loading. We think that it will make the occlusal forces dispersed to surrounding bone and that we can restore the oral function immediately after implant installation not disturbing osseointegration. In case of using Satellite abutment, stress concentrated to bone contact area of implant was distributed not only fixation plate and screws but also superior, middle portion of implant and cortical layer of jaw bone. It was clearly decreased on the bone contact surfaces around dental implants. 1. Stress was decreased more than 76.5% when satellite straight abutment was used. 2. Stress was decreased more than 50% when satellite angled abutment was used. 3. The stress around dental implant was well distributed along the cortical bone surface and the fixation plate and screw. This study concludes that satellite abutment can be used as all immediate loading implant prothesis because it was possible to distribute periimplant occlusal stress through implant contact bone surface and cortical layer of jaw bone.

하악골 연속성의 상실은 하악 기능의 균형과 대칭에 영향을 주며, 하악의 움직임에 변화를 유발하고 절제된 부위로 잔존하악골을 편위시킨다. 또한 연하, 발음, 하악의 운동, 저작, 호흡과 같은 다른 부분에서도 기능이상을 나타낸다. 하악골의 일부가 결손된 환자의 경우, 일반적으로 외과적 재건에 이어 보철적 수복이 이루어진다. 하지만 BRONJ (Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the Jaw)와 같은 전신적 질환을 가진 환자의 경우, 외과적 재건의 적용에 제한이 있게 되고 전적으로 보철적 수복에 의지하게 된다. 다양한 보철적 방법이 하악의 변위를 최소화하고 저작 효율과 기능 및 심미를 개선하기 위하여 제시되었다. 가철성 국소의치로 치료 시, 입술, 뺨, 혀의 운동에 의해 측방 및 수평력이 발생하며 기능 인상을 통해 이를 최대한 줄여 주어야 한다. 또한, Twin occlusion을 사용하면 적절한 구순 및 협측의 지지를 얻으면서 교합관계의 형성을 가능하게 할 수 있다. 이 증례보고에서는 하악골 결손 증례에서 중립대 인상 방법과 twin occlusion을 통하여 기능적 심미적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

하악운동이상증(oromandibular dystonia, OMD)은 턱이나 구강조직의 반복적, 불수의적, 비정상적인 움직임으로 정의되며 저작기능과 교합에 문제를 초래하여 치과치료를 어렵게 하고 보철물의 유지곤란을 야기할 뿐 아니라 잦은 구강 연조직 손상이나 만성 안면통증의 원인이 되기도 하므로 치과의사의 관심이 필요한 질환이다. 본 연구는 단국대학교 치과대학 부속치과 병원 구강내과에 내원하여 OMD로 진단되어 치료를 받은 환자들의 병력기록부상의 관련 항목을 조사하여 OMD 환자들의 임상적 특징과 치료 유형을 분석하였다. 2007년 8월부터 2010년 4월까지 단국치대 부속병원 구강내과에 내원한 78명의 OMD 환자는 평균 72세의 고령이었으며 여자가 남자에 비해 3.6배 많았고, 평균 10개월 이상의 비교적 긴 병력기간을 보였다. 내원한 OMD 환자의 가장 흔한 주소는 턱의 통증이었으며 그 다음으로 빈도가 높은 주소는 턱과 구강조직의 조절 안 되는 반복적인 움직임과 구강조직의 통증이었다(p=0.000). OMD 유형은 페구형(jaw-closing dystonia)이 가장 많았고, 측방운동형(lateral jaw-deviation dystonia)과 복합형(combination dystonia)도 많이 발생하였다(p=0.001). 환자의 60% 이상은 OMD 발생과 관련하여 뚜렷한 원인을 인지하지 못했으나 약 19%의 환자들은 보철치료, 발치 등의 치과치료와 관련 있다고 보고하였다(p=0.000). 본원에 내원한 환자는 약물치료가 가장 먼저 시도되었고 진정제(clonazepam)가 거의 모든 환자(97%)에서 처방되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, OMD는 뚜렷하게 노인, 특히 여성에게 많이 발생하는 질환으로서 턱과 구강조직의 통증을 유발하며 과반수 이상은 뚜렷한 원인을 모르지만 일부 환자들은 치과치료 후에 자신의 문제를 처음 인지하는 경향이 있다. 그러므로 치과의사는 환자를 치료할 때 OMD의 존재를 간과하지 않도록 관심과 주의를 기울일 필요가 있다.
