심한 하악 치조골 흡수룰 보이는 완전 무치악 환자에서 의치는 환자의 저작 효율이 극히 저하되며 특히 치조골의 형태가 불규칙한 경우 의치의 안정성은 더 떨어질 수 있다. 이때 임플란트를 통한 지지를 얻는 피개의치를 통해 편안감 회복과 향후 지속적인 치조골 흡수를 줄이는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 임플란트 피개의치를 위한 하방의 attachment는 크게 bar attachment와 solitary attachment로 나뉘며 임플란트 고정체의 위치가 하악 전방 치조골에 있으면서 의치 전체가 견고한 지지를 얻기 위해서는 bar attachment가 유리하고 구치부에도 고정체가 위치하며 쉬운 착탈과 유지관리의 편의를 얻고자 하면 solitary attachment를 고려할 수 있다. 본 증례는 환자의 상황에 따른 임플란트 식립 위치 결정, attachment를 선택을 통하여 임플란트 피개의치를 다양하게 적용하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: To describe the profile of chronic and aggressive periodontitis among Senegalese (West Africans) attending the Institute of Dentistry of Dakar. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with an inclusion period running from 2001 to 2008. The sample included 413 chronic periodontitis and 151 aggressive periodontitis cases, among them 299 males and 265 females selected from 2,274 records. A Student's independent t-test or Pearson chi-squared test was used for data analysis. Results: The proportion of females with aggressive periodontitis was significantly higher than those with chronic periodontitis (64.9% vs. 40.4%, P<0.001). The aggressive periodontitis patients had an average age of $28.1{\pm}8.9$ years, and had lost less than 3 teeth. Less than a third of them reported using a toothbrush. Attachment loss was as high as 8 mm and severe lesions had spread to an average of 12 teeth with maximum alveolar bone loss up to 80%. The chronic periodontitis patients had an average age of $44.9{\pm}14.0$ and had lost on average less than 3 teeth. Nearly 75% used a toothbrush. Attachment loss was significantly higher and lesions were more extensive in the aggressive periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is associated with risk factors such as smoking or diabetes mellitus in 12.8% versus 0.7% in aggressive periodontitis (P<0.001). Differences between the two groups for most clinical and radiographic parameters were statistically significant. Conclusions: The profile of aggressive periodontist is characterized by more severe lesions than chronic periodontitis, whereas tooth loss experience is similar in both forms.

Purpose: The inflammatory response due to inflammatory cytokines, bacterial pathogens, and the altered lipoprotein metabolism in patients with periodontitis indicates that infection with periodontal anaerobic bacteria may influence atherogenesis in vitro and in vivo. We aimed to explore the effect of periodontitis concerning clinical and ultrasound markers of early atherosclerosis. Methods: In this case-control study, a total of 30 systemically healthy adults (15 with periodontitis and 15 without periodontitis) over 40 years of age were studied. Periodontitis was determined by measuring the clinical attachment level (CAL) and radiographic bone loss (RBL). Conventional cardiovascular risk factors, including body mass index, serum levels of total cholesterol (TCH), triglycerides (TG), and high-density and low-density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL, respectively) cholesterol were evaluated. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured using ultrasonography. Results: The mean values of the CAL and carotid IMT were 5.02±0.9 mm and 0.084±0.01 cm vs. 1.6±0.61 mm and 0.072±0.02 cm in the periodontitis and healthy groups, respectively, reflecting statistically significant differences (P=0.001 and P=0.037, respectively). There were statistically significant differences in the serum levels of TCH, TG, and LDL between the 2 groups (P=0.017). The CAL and RBL were positively associated with carotid IMT and serum cholesterol levels, except for HDL, whereas tooth loss was not associated with any markers (P<0.05). Compared to the healthy group, participants with periodontitis exhibited 2.09 times higher odds (95% confidence interval, 1.22-3.59) of having subclinical atherosclerosis. Conclusions: The presence of periodontitis increased the risk of atherosclerosis.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the oral health and hygiene in the neurosurgical patients in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods: The subjects were 92 neurosurgical patients in intensive care unit(ICU) from March, 2011 to December, 2012. The oral examination consisted of number of residual teeth, DMFT index, clinical attachment loss, gingival index, plague index, and Candida species colony of tongue and saliva. Plaque was inoculated from tongue and saliva and incubated in 36.5C incubator for 48 hours using $Dentocult^{(R)}$ CA(Orion Diagnostica, Espoo, Finland). Glasgow coma scale(GCS) was measured to evaluate the consciousness of the patients on the basis of medical record. Results: Oral health was poor in clinical attachment loss and gingival index. Oral hygiene in neurosurgical patients in ICU was very poor due to high plaque index and Candida colonization of tongue and saliva. Plague index was closely related to Candida colonization of tongue and saliva(p<0.05). Conclusions: Oral health and hygiene of patients in neurosurgical ICU were very poor. More careful oral hygiene care is very important and necessary to enhance the oral health improvement of the neurosurgical patients in ICU.

In order to determine the relationship between probing pocket depth and trypsin-like activity in subgingival plaque, probing pocket depth and loss of attachment were measured by Michigan-O probe on mandibular incisors of 30 patients with adult periodontitis. And the trypsin-like activity of Treponema denticola, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Bacteroides forsythus was evaluated by the hydrolysis of N-Benzoyl-DL-Arginine-2-Naphthyla-mide (BANA) using PerioScan reagent cards(Oral-B Laboratories, Redwood City, CA). The obtained data were statistically analyzed by Microstat program. The results were as follows. 1. The number of teeth showing negative trypsin-like activity was more in shallow periodontal pocket groups, but the number of teeth showing positive trypsin-like activity was more in deep periodontal pocket groups. 2. There was a significant positive correlation between probing pocket depth and trypsin-like activity in subgingival plaque(y=0.413X - 0.955, r = 0.7024, p<0.001). 3. There was no consistent relationship between loss of attachment and trypsin-like activity in subgingival plaque(p>0.01).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a dietary flavonoid, kaempferol, which has been shown to possess antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant activities on the periodontium by histomorphometric analysis and on gingival tissue matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), MMP-8, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) by biochemical analysis of rats after experimental periodontitis induction. Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups of ten rats each, and silk ligatures were placed around the cervical area of the mandibular first molars for 15 days, except in the healthy control rats. In the experimental periodontitis groups, systemic kaempferol (10 mg/kg/2d) and saline were administered by oral gavage at two different periods (with and without the presence of dental biofilm) to all rats except for the ten non-medicated rats. Alveolar bone area, alveolar bone level, and attachment level were determined by histomorphometric analysis, and gingival tissue levels of MMP-1, MMP-8, and TIMP-2 were detected by biochemical analysis. Results: Significantly greater bone area and significantly less alveolar bone and attachment loss were observed in the kaempferol application groups compared to the control groups (P<0.05). In addition, gingival tissue MMP-1 and -8 levels were significantly lower in the kaempferol application groups compared to the control groups and the periodontitis group (P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in TIMP-2 levels between the kaempferol and saline application groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Kaempferol application may be useful in decreasing alveolar bone resorption, attachment loss, and MMP-1 and -8 production in experimental periodontitis.

목적: 본 연구는 반복적인 착탈에 따른 임플란트 bar 어태치먼트에 사용하는 두 가지 부가적인 유지장치의 유지력 특성을 평가해보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발된 유지장치(ADD-Lock; AL)와 기존의 상용화된 유지장치(Locator blue; LB)의 두 가지 유지장치를 평가하였다. 두 개의 고정체를 하부 구조물에 평행하게 위치시키고, 각 유지장치의 patrix를 고정체에 연결하였다. 각 유지장치의 matrix는 대합되는 상부 구조물에 위치시키고 고정하였다. Universal testing machine을 이용하여 초기, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 2500회의 반복적인 착탈 동안에 각 유지장치의 유지력을 측정하였다. 유지장치의 마모 및 변형 정도는 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test (α = .05), 그리고 wilcoxon signed-rank test (α = .05)를 이용하여 통계분석 실시하였다. 결과: 초기 유지력과 2500회의 반복적인 착탈 후 유지력에서, AL군(15.24 ± 1.46 N, 9.74 ± 1.16 N)은 LB군(43.53 ± 12.39 N, 22.99 ± 4.77 N)보다 유의하게 작은 값을 보였다(P < .05). 또한, 유지력 소실량에 있어서도 AL군(5.50 ± 1.08 N, 36.08%)이 LB군(20.54 ± 11.89 N, 47.19%)에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다(P < .05). 주사전자현미경 분석 결과, AL군은 patrix에서, LB군은 matrix에서 눈에 띄는 마모 및 변형이 관찰되었다. 결론: Locator는 새롭게 개발된 유지장치보다 높은 초기 유지력을 보인 반면 높은 유지력 소실량을 보였다. 한편, 두 가지 부가적인 유지장치는 반복적인 착탈 후에도 충분한 유지력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

The ultimate objective of periodontal therapy is not only stopping the progression of periodontal disease, but also promoting the regeneration of lost periodontal tissue. Guided Tissue Regeneration, which is based on the principle that the goal of periodontal regeneration can be achieved by preventing apical migration of gingival epithelium and blocking cells originating from connective tissue, has been developed and used as a clinical procedure, and although it has shown excellent results in connective tissue healing, there have not been many studies showing its effect on the regeneration of alveolar bone loss due to periodontal disease. The objectives of this study are to investigate the result of 12 months-long treatment following guided tissue regeneration using expanded polytetrafluoroehylene membrane, and to observe the presence of regenerated alveolar bone. Forty-one teeth from 28 patients with clinical diagnosis of periodontitis has been selected. In fifteen of those interproximal intrabony defects, only flap operation had been carried out, and designated as the control group. Twenty-six intrabony defects received e-PTFE membrane following flap operation, and designated as the experimental group. Eleven teeth whose membrane had been exposed were excluded from the experiment. Various measurements including probing depth, loss of attachment, probing bone level and gingival recession have been recorded at 6th month and 12th month, and the significance of the changes has been analyzed. The results are as follows: 1. Probing depth at 6th and 12th month has shown a significant decrease in both groups (p<0.01), but significantly higher decrease was found in the experimental group compared to the control at the month(p<0.05). 2. Loss of attachment at 6th and 12th month has shown a significant decrease in both groups, but significantly higher decrease was found in the experimental group compared to the control (p<0.05). 3. Probing bone level at 6th and 12th month has shown a insignificant decrease in the control group and significant decrease in the experimental group (p<0.01). Significantly higher decrease in probing bone level was found in the experimental group (p<0.05). 4. Gingival recession at 6th and 12th month has shown a statistically significant increase (p<0.05), and the control group showed higher increase compared to the experimental group although no statistical significance was found. As these results have shown, the use of e-PTFE membrane in intrabony pockets results in marked decrease in the loss of attachment and probing bone level. This seems to indicate that e-PTFE membrane may play a role in alveolar bone regeneration in intrabony defects.

Using survey data collected from 275 adolescent children of widowed or divorced single mother families, this study investigated the characteristics of family coping resources, including individual, financial, social, and mother-child relational resources and their effects on the psychological wellbeing of these adolescents. After controlling background variables of the family, higher depression among adolescents was associated with low grade point average, mother's high exposure to negative experiences after loss of father, low attachment to mother, and low sense of self-control. Furthermore, higher grade point average, strong attachment to mother, and high self-control in problem solving were factors predicting higher self-esteem of adolescents. Social network resources were not related to the psychological well-being of the adolescents. Discussion included recommendations for future research. Implications for policy and parent-child relations were discussed with a view to enhancing family functioning of adolescents in single-mother families.
